Decorations are already going up!
We’ve already seen it get a new paint job, watched it get some work done that required the moat to be drained, and got details about what it will look like later this year. And, there are already some shiny new decorative elements on it!
But we still haven’t quite figured out what’s going on with the Cinderella Castle stage. We noticed construction happening on it earlier in the year, but we’re not sure exactly what this means. So we’ve put our best detectives on the case!
Most recently, the castle stage looked like this, with wooden planks placed across it.

But today, we observed a change that made our detective senses tingle…what’s going on here?

Cinderella castle stage construction as of today
There are now some metal slats that have been laid over the wooden planks. Could we deduce that this is an addition to the support structure? Or is it for some kind of special effect? This is likely all for routine maintenance, but maybe it could be something more!

What’s this for?
We’re trying to sniff out the truth, whatever it is, but so far, Disney hasn’t announced anything. But we have to ask, Disney, what ARE you up to? For the time being, we’ll keep following up on the Cinderella Castle construction, so stay tuned!
