Overview
- Painters were observed on February 23 working along the north side of the Tomorrowland entrance, with one spire on the south side also refreshed.
- The new finish trends dark gray to near black, replacing the light blue‑gray and purple tones introduced in 2016 and partially reapplied in 2023.
- Access is enabled by the Cinderella Castle moat being drained for the castle repaint, allowing ground‑level work with ladders along the rock bases.
- Rolling planters now block a nearby walkway on the north side as sections are isolated for work.
- Exposed layers reveal a visible waterline and original brown bases beneath older coats, and Walt Disney World has not provided a completion timeline.
