The Magic Kingdom welcome show, Let the Magic Begin, has been further modified due to the impending repainting of Cinderella Castle. The show stopped including fireworks earlier this month. Performance times are no longer listed on the Walt Disney World calendar, but the Let the Magic Begin music still plays.

Let the Magic Begin Modified

This notice is posted on the Walt Disney World website:

Cinderella Castle is currently undergoing a magical transformation. Due to project work, Let The Magic Begin will be temporarily modified. While characters will not be making an appearance during this time, you will still hear the welcome fanfare and music to start your day at Magic Kingdom.

Let the Magic Begin happens at 8:55 a.m. before the park’s opening at 9 a.m.

Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire Showtimes

Disney has also adjusted performance times of Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire to only be in the afternoon, beginning at 1 p.m. Times are posted on the Walt Disney World website, in the My Disney Experience app, and on this sign in front of the castle.

Cinderella Castle Repaint

Though these changes have all gone into effect on January 28, there is still no sign of paint work on Cinderella Castle beyond the pink patch we saw last week. The castle will have its classic colors restored after five years with the 50th anniversary color scheme.
