Cinderella Castle’s Tallest Tower Turns Gray in Ongoing Magic Kingdom Repaint

Work is being timed around shows to limit disruption to guests.

Overview

  • Gray paint is now visible on the castle’s tallest tower, with much of the 50th‑anniversary gold trim repainted light gray.
  • Multiple crews are operating boom lifts at height, and portions of the moat have been drained to position construction equipment.
  • Repainting is progressing in phases, with much of the west and northern sections now gray while front‑facing areas remain largely pink.
  • The balcony used for Tinker Bell’s nightly flight has not been repainted yet to keep the fireworks moment operational.
  • Disney has not provided a completion timeline or confirmed whether all remaining gold accents will be removed, and worksite reports suggest the dark blue roofing may shift to a lighter shade.
