Walt Disney World has filed multiple permits for “general construction” on Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom.
Both permits list 1400 Magic Kingdom Dr. as the location, which is the official address of Cinderella Castle. Icarus Exhibits Inc is the contractor on the first permit. Icarus Exhibits Inc have worked on Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and TRON Lightcycle / Run. Although the permit just lists construction, Icarus Exhibits Inc specializes in set piece fabrication and installation.
The second permit lists Coastal Steel Inc, which implies there will be some sort of steel infrastructure involved.
It’s likely that whatever this construction is, it is related to Magic Kingdom’s 50th anniversary, which is coming up in 2021. Cinderella Castle has already received a new paint scheme this year, what else could be in store for it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
The castle cake is coming back!
probably something that’ll expand the castle just Hong Kong’s Castle Of Magical Dreams
What now? Leave it alone. Don’t like the repaint job nor the lack if ice at Christmas.
Please don’t do something stupid like a birthday cake or that dumb Mickey hand that EPCOT had.
I can’t wait! Disney World and I turn 50 a few days apart so that’s where I’m spending my birthday!
A big hand holding a wand over the spires!😄
How else are they going to ruin it? Can’t wait to find out.
My guess is expansion of the gift shop in the castle. That or new sets for the castle stage. Icarus’ expertise is store fixtures so money is on something gift shop related.
