Overview
- Crews have begun repainting front-facing elements, with gold trim around the main entrance now a pale gray and fresh work visible near the clock.
- One of the tallest towers is fully gray and another is mostly gray, with additional sections on the east and west sides newly coated, as aerial images corroborate.
- Most of the castle’s rear walls are now gray, and painters have started on window trim; the blue roofing has not yet been repainted.
- The moat has been drained to give crews closer access, and reporters note it remains unclear whether some gray areas are final coats or base layers.
- Repainting began in late January, entertainment on the castle stage has been adjusted with roaming character appearances, and Disney has not provided a specific finish date beyond the end-of-2026 target.
