Disney Sets January Start for Cinderella Castle Repainting at Magic Kingdom

Disney will limit guest disruption by clearing cranes from view by noon each day.

Overview

  • Work will begin with draining the castle moat to enable high‑reach cranes and lifts for exterior painting.
  • Cranes will be lowered out of sight by midday to preserve afternoon and evening views and photos.
  • Temporary entertainment adjustments start January 28, including a modified Let the Magic Begin welcome show.
  • Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire and the nightly Happily Ever After fireworks will continue with minor changes as needed.
  • The project restores a classic palette of grays, creams, blues, and gold, with the new look set to debut later in 2026.
