Cinderella Castle Finishing Touches Are Complete at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

The Cinderella Castle makeover is finally complete! When visiting Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, you’ll see the royal makeover dazzle at the end of Main Street U.S.A.

Zach Riddley, Walt Disney World Site Portfolio Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering took to Instagram to share three photos of the final touches.

Zach shares: “Last month I joined members of our @waltdisneyimagineering team behind the new #CinderellaCastle design as finishing touches were completed. Did you know that the castle was hand painted from the rocks in the moat all the way to the spires at the top of the castle? This allows us to compose each stone and surface for perfect views all around. And many areas were painted with glistening gold for the very first time. 

We’re so glad the makeover is complete! What do you think of the new Cinderella Castle look?

The MagicBand is light green and features jungle foliage on the upper and lower bands. On the upper strap are pictured two Skippers telling their hilarious jokes to their captive audience. Above the Skippers, the band reads “The World Famous Jungle Cruise” and “Excursions Departing Daily” in a jungle-themed font.
