Boom Lifts Enter Drained Moat as Cinderella Castle Repaint Shifts to Lower Facade

Crews have begun close‑range repainting of the base using a temporary dry workspace in the moat.

Overview

  • Multiple boom lifts, scaffolding platforms, and stairs are now positioned inside the empty moat on the Liberty Square and Tomorrowland sides, making the work clearly visible to guests.
  • After repainting began in late January and the moat was drained in early February, the project has moved from upper‑tower work to the lower sections that require closer access.
  • The upper portions largely read as gray, with only the tallest tower and one central wall still pink, and most of the 50th‑anniversary gold trim has been repainted gray.
  • Royal blue rooftops are expected to shift to a lighter blue to align with the castle’s classic color palette.
  • Horticulture teams are repairing freeze‑damaged plantings near the moat, and the waterway is expected to remain drained during this phase of lower‑façade work.
