food IS a theme park
Disneyland Paris has seen its share of challenges since last year. The parks in Paris closed in March 2020, reopened in July, and then closed again in October. Currently, Disneyland Paris remains closed.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot going on at the park right now while it’s closed. In December, Disneyland Paris announced that Sleeping Beauty Castle would undergo its first major refurbishment since the park opened in 1992.
We’ve been following Cinderella Castle’s iconic transformation closely here at DFB!

In case ya haven’t heard, Cinderella Castle is getting a glow-up for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary! We’re talkin’ new paint, draperies, and MORE. We’ve already gotten a sneak peek at the inspiration behind the new design — and we’ve watched as phase one of the transformation was completed! And now, we’ve got another update for you.
In the last year, we’ve seen a lot of “sprucing up” going on around the Walt Disney World parks, but especially in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle getting work done for the 50th Anniversary.
Cinderella Castle got a new paint job and now she’s getting additional decorations for the 50th Anniversary. We also noticed repainting happening at the parking entrance for the TTC and several classic attractions are getting golden touch-ups. Today, we spotted another place in the park where there’s some painting going on, and we took some photos to share with you!
Although Disneyland doesn’t reopen until April 30th, we recently got BIG news about a Disneyland expansion!
Soon This Will Be Open to Guests!
The plan for the expansion is called DisneylandForward and includes some long-term plans for theme park, retail, and parking expansion to Disneyland Resort.
