Cinderella Castle Getting a Royal Roof Refresh at Magic Kingdom
Big changes are coming to the heart of Magic Kingdom—Walt Disney World has filed a Notice of Commencement for re-roofing Cinderella Castle! While the iconic structure will remain the picture-perfect backdrop for your family photos, eagle-eyed guests may notice a bit of behind-the-scenes magic unfolding over the coming months.

According to the newly filed permit, the roofing company Tecta America Southeast has been contracted for the project. Approved on April 1, the permit remains active through March 27, 2026—but don’t be surprised if the work begins much sooner than that. After all, even fairy tale castles need a little TLC every now and then!
The castle last received a magical makeover in 2020 ahead of Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration. That transformation brought a striking “EARidescent” color scheme to the beloved landmark, giving it a shimmering pale pink hue, royal blue rooftops, and elegant gold accents. Prior to that, Cinderella Castle had a more muted gray-and-teal look—but Disney fans quickly fell in love with its new regal glow.

As roof work begins, guests may see scaffolding or construction activity around the castle. While we don’t yet know if the re-roofing will change the look of the castle in any noticeable way, it’s likely part of routine upkeep to ensure this royal residence remains as stunning as ever.
So if your next visit includes a glimpse of a hardhat or two near the turrets, just know: it’s all part of keeping the magic alive.
Stay tuned—we’ll be watching closely for any updates fit for a princess!
