Gray Paint Reaches Cinderella Castle’s Front as Repainting Advances at Magic Kingdom

Disney is restoring the pre‑50th palette with work staged to mornings to limit guest disruption.

Overview

  • Fan outlets report crews now working on the Main Street–facing facade, with gray visible on towers and entrance trim.
  • Select gold accents, including details around roofs, railings, and the entrance coat of arms, remain as repainting progresses.
  • The moat is drained to provide ground access for equipment and painters around the base of the castle.
  • Painting activity is concentrated in the morning, with cranes lowered by midday to keep clear views for photos.
  • Disney has not announced a finish date, though reporting indicates the project is targeted for completion later in 2026.
