It looks nice and royal, but a little lacking in the magic department. I can't help but notice how bare the walls are and that there really isn't much to look at. I'm sure it will be different with a fully realized room, but now it looks a little barren.

I'm still wondering if there will be an exterior space where you'll be able to actually go outside your room and look down. There appear to be some small places up there like that. And not necessarily for taking souvenir pictures looking down. Can you instead imagine the souvenir picture from the ground looking up at the castle, with you and your family out on a castle deck way up high?

I noticed them at night, for the first time, with green lighting (could have been for MNSSHP). But I've been told you'll be able to look out on Fantasyland's courtyard. No Main Street view. <<I'm still wondering if there will be an exterior space where you'll be able to actually go outside your room and look down.

Makes good sense now that you suggest it. >> an exterior space where you'd be able to actually go outside your room and look down. << >> No. There won't. << I'm not surprised, for many good reasons. But it sure would be cool. Thanks for the insights.

But I thought the lights were blue thru the big window in the back side of the castle, high above King Stephan's Banquet Hall.
