Only two 50th anniversary decorations remain on Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom as another golden ribbon turret topper is removed.
Golden Ribbon Turret Toppers Removed
The last two remaining turret toppers are on two of the highest towers.
One turret topper was removed overnight from this small side tower.
Golden ribbons have already been removed from the lowest towers of Cinderella Castle. The final drapery bunting was removed from the castle a few weeks ago.
The recent paint job of Cinderella Castle will remain after the decorations have been removed. The castle was painted new shades of pink, royal blue, gold, and gray just before “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” began.
The 50th anniversary decorations also included a giant “50” medallion over the clock of Cinderella Castle. This was the first piece of decoration removed after the 50th anniversary celebration ended.
A crane parked behind construction walls in Fantasyland is being used to remove the turret toppers. The last two will likely be removed within a week.
As part of the effort to remove the 50th anniversary decorations, the moat around the castle was partially drained. Take a look here.
The 50th Anniversary celebration at Walt Disney World Resort officially ended on March 31, 2023. Since then, Walt Disney World has been celebrating 100 years of The Walt Disney Company.
Disney100 Anniversary Celebration
Across almost all six resorts and on a global scale, Disney is celebrating “100 Years of Wonder.” This celebration is the largest event ever thrown by The Walt Disney Company. The heart of the celebration takes place at Disneyland Resort, as it is “The Place Where it All Began.”
The party kicked off on January 27, 2023, in Disneyland Resort, and is expected to last through July 2024.
At Walt Disney World, Disney100 will mostly be celebrated at EPCOT with Mickey and Minnie in their new platinum outfits. A new Spectacle of Light will debut on Spaceship Earth, and in late 2023, a new Disney100 nighttime spectacular will replace EPCOT Forever. This show was brought back after the end of Harmonious in early April but has only returned as an interim replacement.
In addition, Journey of Water, CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, World Celebration Garden, and Dreamers Point featuring the “Dreamer” statue of Walt Disney are all scheduled to open in late 2023 at EPCOT.
Platinum Disney100 decorations were installed at all four Walt Disney World theme parks and at Disney Springs.
Collectible Disney100 medallions and Disney100 pressed pennies are available throughout the resort.
