Cinderella Castle is undergoing yet another revamped look, this time for the park’s 50th anniversary. Last July, we looked at the brand new rose gold color scheme which was completed during the park’s extended closure. Now, Cinderella Castle is getting ready for even more paint and decorations as the big 5-0 gets close. These shots, from Bioreconstruct on Twitter, give us an up-close look at the changes being made.
It has been more than a year since the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover has allowed guests to ride. This fan-favorite at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom takes guests above Tomorrowland for a 10-minute tour.

So, what is happening at this family friendly ride and when can we expect to enjoy it again?
It was recently announced that the world-famous Jungle Cruise attraction at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom would be getting some updates. It’s sometimes hard for guests to hear that their favorite attractions are getting changed in any way — especially if it’s a day-one attraction that Walt Disney was involved with. But did you know that there were many changes made to Jungle Cruise through the years, even during Walt’s lifetime? Let’s take a look at some of them.

You’ve probably heard by now that Jungle Cruise, the iconic opening-day attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, is getting an overhaul this year. For our new Spring issue, we talked to Walt Disney Imagineers Susana Tubert and Kevin Lively about the planned changes to the ride and got the inside scoop on the new characters (including a new S.E.A. member!), a deeper storyline connecting the Florida and California parks, plans for Trader Sam’s, and much more.
Last summer, Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom got a rose gold-themed makeover for the resort’s 50th anniversary. Now, the castle has the first of many “EARidescent” embellishments for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration.”
