PHOTOS: Painting of Mad Tea Party Roof for 50th Anniversary Resumes at Magic Kingdom

A month ago, the turret atop Mad Tea Party in Magic Kingdom was painted dark blue, indicating the attraction would be getting a makeover ahead of its 50th anniversary. The roof went mostly untouched since then, but today more dark blue paint has overtaken the old teal green color.

The roof has eighteen triangular panels, and four of them have now been painted.

The colorful streamer-like designs were also repainted on the panels.

The trim between each panel has also been painted purple, having previously been the same color as the roof.

This trim holds the lights that give the attraction carnival illumination at night.

The trim has even been updated between panels that have yet to be painted.

The new color palette is similar to the purples and blues associated with Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary.

Many attractions and buildings in Magic Kingdom have been repainted and refurbished recently so the park is looking its best by the time “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” begins on October 1.
