Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom has been getting a major paint job, changing from its 50th anniversary pink to its traditional blue and gray.

We’ve been keeping an eye on it since January 2026, and five months later, it looks like it’s still getting the final touches. While some of our team members are missing the pink (me included), we can’t deny that the blue and gray are so nostalgic!
From a quick glance at the castle, it looks like it’s practically finished! The cranes are only up in the morning, and when they’re down in the afternoon, it looks just about completed.

From the top of the train station, you can really see the silver. The gold accents really shine, too, and the darker blue really stands out against the gray.

Here’s a look from the backside. You can REALLY see the gold here. The back of the castle is kinda our secret spot for cool castle pictures.

The details look amazing! The gold really shimmers, and the light blue looks great on the dark blue for a more detailed design.

Another look! Now, if only we could stay inside the castle to admire it (come on, one can dream!).

The moat is still empty around the castle, and with all the construction equipment, we’re thinking there’s more work to be done. While it looks great for photos, they might be working on more details, more layers of paint, extra coating, or more. Once the water is back, we’ll feel more confident saying it’s finished.
