Additional regal features will reportedly be added to Cinderella Castle in the next few months, including pearl, jewel and ribbon accents in "royal blues and iridescent golds" for the turrets and towers.
The makeover of Cinderella Castle was first announced in February 2020. When progress of the ambitious redesign was revealed after Magic Kingdom Park reopened its doors over the summer, fan reception was mixed on social media.

However, this revamped version of Cinderella Castle draws "inspiration from Disney Legend Mary Blair’s vision of the classic film, ‘Cinderella,’" according to Disney Parks Blog.
These regal updates to the castle are being done ahead of Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary, which the brand is calling "The World’s Most Magical Celebration."
The official date for the resort’s semi-centennial birthday is Oct. 1, 2021, and multiple events are set to be held at its four theme parks, including Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
