Overview
- Cofferdams have been placed on the Tomorrowland and Liberty Square sides, enabling partial drainage so equipment can work from the moat bed.
- Visible repainting started January 28 with primer and gray paint applied as the castle transitions back to its classic gray and light‑blue tones.
- Work is concentrated in the mornings, with high‑reach cranes lowered by around midday to preserve afternoon guest views.
- Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire now runs in the afternoon and has operated without the usual castle‑side pyrotechnics, using only distant effects in observed shows.
- The Let the Magic Begin welcome moment is currently music‑only without characters, Happily Ever After continues nightly with limited adjustments, and guests may encounter periodic pathway controls near the wishing well path or the Liberty Square bridge during the long‑running project.
