As it is now, I can't say that I particularly like this look, but it seems like it will require another complete refurbishment of the castle after the 60th, so I suppose that's good news

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Could you tell which parade they were rehearsing? It seems awfully early to be doing in-park run-throughs of Paint the Night (I'm not even sure if they've cast it yet), but I'm not sure they would be doing Soundsational either. I know they do need some in-park rehearsals, but I would imagine that they do most of their work backstage during daytime, since it's an existing production Then again, if they were bringing in new performers, they may need to rehearse for them. I know that Fantasmic! semi-routinely does full rehearsals (costumes, make-up, effects, watercraft, pyro, etc) to help acclimate new performers before they go out in front of guests
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I found a couple more photos of the bedazzling, and it looks like they're not gluing the sparkles directly to the roofs, but putting entirely new roof structures over the top of the existing roof, similar to how they add the snow and lights for Christmas <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.wdwmagic.com/attachments/download_20150317_184014-jpeg.87235/">http://forums.wdwmagic.com/att...g.87235/</a> <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.wdwmagic.com/attachments/download_20150317_184024-jpeg.87236/">http://forums.wdwmagic.com/att...g.87236/</a> It's particularly noticeable in the second photo, where you can see the halfway-completed roof over the chapel area I question the wisdom of this approach, since it can't be good for the real roof underneath it. It just seems like it's asking for some serious water damage to occur; I've even wondered about how good the much shorter Christmas installation is for the roof. They recently removed the fake snow from the roof of the Frozen meet & greet, and there was some pretty noticeable damage left behind; I'd hate to see the castle get a similar fate I also wonder if it will have lights embedded in it, like at Christmas...

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt The installation looks pretty sophisticated so far. It says "special celebration" without a tacky over sized wand, awkward giant hat, or other obnoxious embellishments that we've seen on park icons in the past.

Originally Posted By dagobert I'm not a big fan of castle decorations, but I don't mind them either as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Judging from the WDWMagic pictures Ferret posted, I'm torn. The small tower looks good, but the bigger roof looks a bit cheap. Maybe we have to wait until the whole thing is done.
