The new-look auto-plaza at the Magic Kingdom is nearing completion as the refurbishment enters the final couple of lanes.

Part of the 50th anniversary look, the new style features deep blue and golds.

We also see the 50th anniversary gradient castle logo make an appearance at the entrance.

During the work some lanes are closed, but the auto-plaza is operating as normal.

I think this look is far better and a change in any sense is long overdue however i hope they dont advertise these as some kind of 50th....but you know they will 😅

Then that’s on you.

Last time I flew my family to Florida for a Disney vacation, we saw the old signage with its hideous color scheme and immediately turned around, flew home, and went to Six Flags instead. The new design might entice me back next year.

I wouldn’t classify them as unimportant. They are the first and last things most guests see. Also they have previously received updates (obviously not as drastic) for other major events/celebrations. And at the end of the day this makeover was essentially a paint job, which the structures have always received every few years anyway. This time they just changed the colors of the paint they were using.

This is great!

Love the warm white/golden glow. Much better than the harsh red in the previous version. A nice upgrade all around on this one.

That's very nice.

If I had made a list of the Top 50 Things to Improve before the anniversary, these unimportant roadside gateways would not have been on the list.

Just got home from a week at the World... I can say the new sign looks good, but the auto plaza, the castle in the middle you can barely make out because its the same color as its background. It needs another color behind it to make it pop!

I like the old castle better. But not to say it won't grow on me.

My guess is most people you refer to tend to allude to more message board people ;)
