You’ve GOTTA See How Construction Is Progressing on Cinderella Castle in Disney World!

It’s been a long time since the last time we stood in front of our beloved castle! And we’ll be able to see it again on July 11th when Magic Kingdom reopens!

And as you may recall, Cinderella Castle had just begun to receive her royal makeover shortly before the parks closed. The rosy gold paint job was going up FAST, but due to the temporary closures, all construction projects were put on hold!

But thanks to DFB Reader @bioreconstruct, we can see work on Cinderella Castle has once again resumed! These are ariel photos of how the castle looks TODAY!

Is it just us, or does the royal makeover seem to be happening at lightspeed? Look at all those cherrypickers!

In this shot, you can actually see folks standing in Fantasyland! Could they be training? Maybe!

The rest of the park is ghostly calm and quiet — almost as empty as Magic Kingdom appeared on the first day of Disney World’s closure, but not for very much longer!

We’re so excited to see this sneak peek of Cinderella Castle and see how gorgeous she’s looking! There’s still a lot of work to be done, but judging by these photos, we’re wondering if Disney World is hoping to welcome us all with a completely-finished castle! Only time will tell!

Spaceship Earth Now Officially Closed for Refurbishment

spaceship earth

According to the Disney World website Spaceship Earth is now officially closed for refurbishment.

Before the closure of Walt Disney World we reported that Spaceship Earth was set to close on May 26th for a ride refurbishment but the Disney World website did not have it listed as closed till today.

Spaceship Earth is supposed to receive an update to go with the new look & feel of Epcot.

You’ll visit Egypt, which is part of the current version of the attraction, but it will be an Egypt like you’ve never seen before, transformed through the power of light.

Throughout the attraction, you’ll hear new narration and see how light plays a central role in our shared human journey, coming to life in dynamic ways in a celebration of the magic that’s possible when we all come together.

With the big news of today that Disney World will be submitting their reopening plans to Orange County tomorrow it looks like if they were to reopen we won’t be able to have one last right on the classic Epcot attraction.

Guess What Epcot Update Just Hit the Disney World Website!

Do you ever have a nagging feeling that you’re forgetting something IMPORTANT like — oh say — a DATE?

Walt Disney World

With the big news that Disney World will be proposing its reopening plan tomorrow, we almost didn’t realize what TODAY IS!

Remember waaaay back before the Disney parks closed when Disney announced Spaceship Earth would be closing down to undergo a rather-lengthy refurb? Well, guess what, friends? That day is TODAY, May 26th!

And rather sadly, when we checked Disney World’s website today, we couldn’t believe our EYES! After lots of rubbing, and maybe a few stray tears (it’s just our allergies acting up, we swear…) Disney has officially updated Spaceship Earth’s status as under refurbishmentSAY IT AIN’T SO!

UGHHHH! We were soooo crossing our fingers hoping that Spaceship Earth might be SPARED! Or at least the refurb would be temporarily delayed so we’d have the chance to say goodbye to the version of Spaceship Earth we know and LOVE!

Disney World’s Website

Will we get the chance to say goodbye to Spaceship Earth? As of right now, it isn’t looking good!

Shout-out to our buddy @jim.disney on Instagram for pointing out this rather sobering bit of Disney news. We haven’t heard any official word from Disney regarding Spaceship Earth since the temporary closure, so maybe it’s just a computer thing?! We can still dream, right?!?!

Going Up!

We’ll let you know if we hear ANY more news the second we find out, but for now it seems like once Epcot reopens, Spaceship Earth might NOT!
