Cinderella Castle Decorations

Post by Cheshire Cat » Mar Mon 06, 2006 3:02 pm

Just Curious...
I've seen pics of the castle with its golden decorations, and noticed that there are Disney characters on it. Does anyone have any close-ups of the characters and/or know what characters are on it? (Pictures are about as close as I'm getting for a while) The only ones I can see clearly are Peter, Wendy and the White Rabbit...

I think there are fifteen of them - Nemo, the gargoyles from Huncheback, Peter, Wendy, (Micheal, John, I think) Tinkerbell, Kaa, Flounder, Sebastian, King Louie, a hippo and an ostrich from Fantasia, and a few others.

If you want a great Cinderella story behind the sculptor of the concept, read this: http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stor ... tml?page=2

Does anyone know how long the decorations will be on castle? I like them but I wasn't sure how long they'll be there.

They are scheduled to be there through the end of the Happiest Celebration on Earth, which is supposed to go by in October, this year, however, they may stay beyond that.

I hadn't notice that about the golden spheres in the castle. I'll have to take snapshots of them when I visit next time.
Friendships are a blessing. Don't waste it on people who can't appreciate it.

I was told by an Imagineer that the new castle is here for a long while, much like the arm over Spaceship Earth..

Do you know if the castle decor in DL is going to stay there too? Trying to fit in a trip out there, but can't see when we could get to it.

Yeah I've been told that the castle decor is up for several years and the EPCOT arm is up for as much as twenty.

Sigh, I wish they would leave my park alone!!!!! :twisted:
