Disney4me Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 We’re getting excited for Disney World’s 50th anniversary! Cinderella Castle Concept Art ©Disney The celebration will begin October 1st, 2021 (that’s Disney World’s 50th birthday!), and will be a whopping 18 months long. Mickey and Minnie are gonna rock brand-new costumes, and each of the 4 park icons will receive a mini-transformation. And believe it or not, we’ve already seen some progress on the Cinderella Castle makeover in Magic Kingdom! Plus, we’ve gotten a behind-the-scenes peek at what the final result will look like. But today, Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley shared a look at the inspiration behind the transformation. A huge part of that inspiration came from Disney Legend Mary Blair, who worked on a ton of classic Disney films (including Cinderella!). Riddley explained that her “designs provided us a beautiful palette of rich hues to choose from” — we’ll see deep blues, purple, and gold on the final look. ©Disney You can see how Disney will draw details from Blair’s concept art: just take a look at those similarities! And if you noticed the ribbons draping on the castle turrets — those are inspired by Cinderella’s transformation into her iconic gown. ©Disney We’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more about the 50th anniversary transformations all around Disney World!
