Share this @internewscast.com

Disney World has revealed a significant alteration to a cherished attraction that has been a staple of the theme park for over half a century, sparking mixed reactions online.

There’s nothing like scanning your ticket into Magic Kingdom, walking through the gates, and laying your eyes on Cinderella’s Castle.

The central monument at the park has been a backdrop for countless family snapshots and is a defining emblem of the Orlando, Florida resort.

But now, Disney has revealed that the castle will be undergoing a massive makeover, and fans of the Happiest Place on Earth are torn over the change.

Traditionally, the castle sported a white and blue color scheme, but in 2021, it was transformed to pink and blue in honor of the 50th anniversary festivities and has stayed that hue ever since.

However, Disney creatives announced at the Destination D23 event this weekend that the castle will be changing again.

It will now be repainted and will feature grays, creams, blues, and touches of gold, very similar to its original look. 

Disney did not share when the change would take place, but it did release a concept image of the castle’s transformation.

Disney World has announced an upcoming transformation of Cinderella’s castle, a landmark celebrated for more than 50 years within the theme park.

During the recent Destination D23 event, Disney’s creative team revealed plans for the castle’s new color palette, which will incorporate grays, creams, blues, and hints of gold, as depicted in the concept art.

Naturally, fans rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on the news, and while some were excited, others were not here for it.

‘WE ARE SO BACK!!!’ one happy fan wrote.

‘While I [don’t] love this color scheme, a lot of people will enjoy it and I’m sure it will look beautiful,’ added someone else.

Another user admitted, ‘I’ll miss the current color scheme.’

‘Idk how I feel about this tbh. It looks great like this, I’ve grown kinda fond of the pink,’ a fourth tweet read.

‘The best (Disney) news I could’ve asked for! I hated the pink WDW castle,’ said a fifth.

‘Thank God, the pink is not it,’ celebrated a different person.

‘Planning another trip back to see her in all her OG color glory,’ penned someone else.

For decades, the castle was white and blue, but in 2021, it was painted pink and blue for the 50th anniversary, and has remained that color ever since. It's seen before it became pink

For years, the castle was adorned in white and blue, but its colors shifted to pink and blue for the 50th anniversary in 2021, maintaining this look to the present day. The castle is shown prior to its pink transition.

It comes after a former Disney World employee spoke to the Daily Mail about what it was really like to work at the Happiest Place on Earth… detailing low salaries, rude guests, and at times, ‘horrendous’ management.

The former Disney staffer, who asked to keep his name hidden for privacy reasons, was employed by the theme park from 2017 until this year.

He worked a ‘few different roles, mainly in attractions,’ before eventually becoming a ‘coordinator,’ which he described as the ‘role just below management.’

Some may think that working at the beloved amusement park would be fun and dazzling, but he confessed that while there were certainly some perks – there were also a slew of drawbacks.

He explained that employees had to follow strict rules, like not being able to take any photos backstage or wear smart watches, or you’d be fired.

‘Safety critical roles, such as [working the] attractions had some strict guidelines,’ he shared.

‘Disney is overly safe and very efficient at sending the most amount of guests through a ride possible.

‘An example of a strict rule, was no smart watches. Any device could be a distraction from vehicle motion and could get you fired if you’re caught wearing one.’ 

He said he often dealt with guests who were ‘entitled’ and was put in some pretty ‘rough situations,’ but added, ‘You encounter tens of thousands of guests daily, maybe a handful of them are bad. The longer you work for the company, is what it is.’

He also complained that he was on his feet ‘almost all day’ and made ‘less than $45,000 a year.’

The worst part, however, was the ‘lack of empathy’ from his ‘managers,’ he said.
