USA: Cinderella Castle in Disney’s Magic Kingdom to Receive Make-Over
Disney’s fairytale castles such as the “Cinderella Castle” at Magic Kingdom or at Tokyo Disneyland and the “Sleeping Beauty Castle” at Disneyland Paris are among the most popular photo motifs for guests during a park visit.
In the course of the 70th anniversary of Disney’s first “Cinderella” this year, the iconic castle building in Orlando’s Magic Kingdom will now see a major make-over. “Cinderella first transformed into a princess 70 years ago this week when the animated classic was released and ever since, her courage and kindness have been inspiring guests and cast members alike. We are excited to share that her story has inspired a bold, shimmering and royal makeover of her namesake castle at the heart of Walt Disney World Resort,“ writes Jason Kirk, Vice President of Magic Kingdom park, in his blog post this week.
The royal look of the approx. 57-metre-high (189 foot) castle will be underlined with a new dark blue roofing and golden ornaments. Construction work will start in the next weeks and will continue through summer 2020. (eap)
