Cinderella Castle Refurbishment Update

The MK Park is in the process of removing the HCOE decor and painting Cinderella Castle. During this time, the penthouse will be converted into a Castle Bedchamber.

In order to accomplish this in a timely manner, a crane will be used. The crane will be parked behind Cinderella Castle and it will be in the down position during theme park hours. The crane will have a construction wall around it and the walkway from Sir Mickey's to the Fairy Tale Gardens will be closed off. However, Fairy Tale Gardens will remain open.

During the night, additional cranes will be brought in to support other efforts on the lower levels. These cranes will be removed each morning before the MK park opens. Here is the schedule:

- Crane load in - Sept 10, 2006
- HCOE Decor removal Sept 10-13, 2006
- Paint Castle - Sept 19 - Dec 5, 2006
- Castle Bedchamber - Dec 5-19, 2006

Id love to stay in the bedchamber, it would be so unreal and amazing!! Id never want to leave!

I don't know how I feel about this. I'm not big on change but I liked the castle all but that big thing on the front all decorated (all but that big mirror thing on the front).

Question, but why... the celebration isn't over yet.
I am not getting there until 9/16

**DisneyTeacher** · 07-31-2006

Kinda bummed they are changing it. I had told my folks about it and they were interested in seeing it in December. Oh well, I am sure whatever they do for the Million Dreams thing will be cool looking too

jk8 · 07-31-2006

Sounds like they have a good plan for the removal. I like the castle either way.

dac921 · 07-31-2006

And nothing for October

kphil89 · 07-31-2006

Gawrsh! What will the castle look like between 9/13-9/19! I 'd hate to see it looking a mess!

**WishUponAStar** · 07-31-2006

Wow, it's hard to imagine the grandeur of the HCOE leaving

The installation of the "bed chambers" seems semi-strange to me. I know there was annoncement of a contest where the winner gets to sleep in the castle (Oh, i can ONLY hope and wish every single day it would be me... haha) but is that the only reason they are installing that? What other purpose would a "bed chamers" serve other than that one contest?

interesting.

ingamba · 07-31-2006

It has to come down eventually, the 50th can't go on forever, or soon it'll be the 51st.

I for one, would love to see the castle, at least the exterior, to go back to it's original self for at least a little while.

belle920 · 07-31-2006

A bedchamber just for a one time only contest? As Alice would say "Curiouser and curiouser..."
