Disney has filed a Notice of Commencement for roof work at Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

The permit is assigned to Commercial Roofing specialist Tecta America Southeast, LLC, and lists the scope of work as “re roof.” No further details are provided, and it’s unclear from the filing whether this is a localized repair or a larger-scale roof replacement.

Cinderella Castle, the visual centerpiece of Magic Kingdom, last saw a significant cosmetic update in 2020 when it was repainted with deeper blues, rose gold accents, and gold trim to mark Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. The current roofing permit could be related to ongoing upkeep or unrelated structural maintenance.

No start date or visible construction activity has been announced, and the we don't yet know if the work will impact park operations or guest experiences.

    I agree but it’s extremely unlikely they would add fountains or anything to HEA. They will likely hold off for the next show so they can make a big deal out of the addition of fountains and other effects.

    Even just painting the pink a shade of white or grey again would be a major improvement.

    It's been said on here that around the time Disney Dreams Opened for DLP's 20th, a Disney Dreams setup was planned for MK but never happened. If Fountains are on the way: Add them into HEA! We don't need to worry about at HEA Replacement right now!

    I would love this to. I believe a long time ago some insider on here had said moat fountains were in consideration at one point but for whatever reason never happened. If that is true then maybe whatever ends up replacing HEA will include moat fountains.

    I would love to see Disneyland Paris' Show fountain system installed in the moat...

    Tokyo castle currently looks 10000 times better than WDW's castle, regardless what WDW castle looked like in 1970.

    Unfortunately, their paint budget is in the hole still after all the painting and repainting they did of the Guardians building.
