Disney will begin repainting Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World next month. Back in 2020, Disney unveiled a new look for the castle by painting it blue and pink like Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The change was attributed to the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, but I think it was so they could sell “Fantasyland Castle” merchandise that worked for both locations. Thus, saving Disney money on merchandise costs. But I digress.
Earlier this year, Disney announced a repaint for Cinderella Castle in 2026 that basically made it look like it did before they repainted it blue and pink.
Work is set to begin next month. The moat will be drained once again to prepare for the transition.
Cranes will be used to complete the job, but they will be lowered and hidden by noon each day, according to Scott Gustin.
The transition back to Cinderella Castle from Fantasyland Castle will be completed sometime during 2026.
At least this anniversary look wasn’t as intense as the 25th Anniversary “Birthday Cake” we got back in 1995.
That was insane!
