Cinderella Castle 50th anniversary transformation is almost complete

The transformation of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom to its 50th-anniversary look is almost complete with its bunting, ribbons and jewels in place around the castle.

The bunting features a royal blue jewel with gold detailing and shimmering draping. A string of jewels have been placed around portions of the turrets and the turrets are covered with ribbons.

The 50th-anniversary celebration kicks off on Oct. 1, 2021, and will last for 18 months. Dubbed “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,”  the celebratory event will feature new experiences at the resort’s four theme parks. The castle will also receive a 50th-anniversary crest at the front. 

In addition to the blue jewels there are also medallions placed at the end the embellishments with a gold 50.
