Thanks for the picture. To be honest I like the grey colour better than the white, because it looks more like a stone. Unfortunately it seems that Disney will stick to the pink colour than to the original salmon like colour.

What makes you say that? They could be painting the grey parts first before they go onto that. :)

I'm assuming those grey splodges are from the Tinkerbell decoration (and not mould :P )? :)

Some of those spackled bits indeed appear to be due to the 15th Anniversary decorations, but others are unmistakably former sites of twinkle lights. You know, the ones that make the castle "sparkle" during fireworks shows. I wonder if they'll return?

You know that little glass window/facias thing, what is up with it? How come the bottom has been 'cut off'. We noticed this in Jan when it was lit up, the bottom third of it stayed dark, and you clearly see it in this pic.

It looks as though a black fabric is covering it. Maybe it had cracked?

It's a shame that they've added the referb wall at the wishing well bridge. It was a useful shortcut. Still, it's good to see that they've started doing the sides now. It was a good idea to get the front over with first.

However, it looks like there isn't going to be a picture on the cover.

I'm pretty suprised there isn't a picture tarp covering the scaffolding yet.

Does anyone think they will even put a picture tarp up anytime soon? I really thought they would've done this by now, especially seeing as they have advertised St Patrick's Day fireworks - and these over a scaffolded-castle aren't going to look all that impressive?

They have now painted the top bars in pink... Hope that doesn't mean they are not putting the picture of the castle in front of the scaffold. They really need to cover all the castle. It looks like its under fire at war lol
