Disney Reveals Classic-Inspired Repaint for Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom

Imagineers detailed durability measures to protect the finish in Florida weather.

Overview

  • The new palette draws from the castle’s original look with grays, creams, blues, and selective gold accents to highlight architectural details.
  • A rendering of the refreshed appearance was shown during the “Beyond the Spires” panel at Destination D23.
  • Disney said the paint design is still being finalized and no start or completion dates were announced.
  • The team outlined accelerated UV and weather testing for paints, plus automotive-grade coatings on rooftops to minimize future touch-ups.
  • Finish choices will vary by surface, with lower sheen on stonework and higher gloss on rooftops and spires to catch sunlight.
