Disney Greetings from Magic Kingdom, friends!
Magic Kingdom
While many guests are enjoying their spring break vacation at Disney World this week, Cinderella Castle has just started to undergo its lengthy refurb!
As soon as we walked in, we noticed four large bright orange cranes were flanking Cinderella Castle as the transformation has officially begun!

Initially, we were reassured when we heard Cinderella Castle would remain uncovered while the icon got its new sparkly pink hue paint job, but even we gotta admit — these construction cranes are a bit of an eyesore. Maybe if they were light blue they’d “blend in” a little better?

Either way, Magic Kingdom Vice President Jason Kirk’s initial statement did warn us “while temporary construction equipment may be present while Cinderella Castle receives its royal makeover, it will remain uncovered and we will do our best to ensure guests are still able to capture special photos and memories in the iconic spot.”

A few days ago, we also reported that the moat had been drained. We will continue to update you as progress continues on this massive refurbishment!

And just as a reminder, Disney has changed the times for Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire (the castle show) to evenings.

Are they really going to paint the castle pink?
I’m disappointed in the repainting of another color to the castle. It was breath taking and beautiful as it was..
Disney seems be happy to lose the magic by not doing more of their work after hours. It never used to be this way. I’m sure the castle will look good but please don’t ruin the magic for us during opening hours!
I am horrified they are painting the castle pink. It will look like Sleeping Beauty Castle. It was beautiful the way it was.
I’m happy they’re going to keep it uncovered, as when they covered the Castle at Disneyland it must have been so disappointing for visitors.
However, I am not happy it’s going to be pink! It’ll look like all the others and I love that it’s not pink like the rest, its unique and stunning as it is.
