Draining of Moat Around Cinderella Castle Continues
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog you may have seen my story over the weekend that Disney World is currently draining the moat around Cinderella Castle.
Though Disney hasn’t officially announced a refurbishment, we’ve been speculating that this may be Disney readying to take down 50th Anniversary decorations on Cinderella Castle.
As you may know, Disney World’s stunning 18th month-long 50th Anniversary Celebration officially ended in March. Disney is now shifting gears and focusing on the centennial celebration of the Walt Disney Company.
A necessary first step in exterior castle maintenance is clearing out the moat area surrounding the castle so that crews can move cranes and scaffolding in to begin work on the castle exterior.
Draining the moat around the castle is a lengthy process and it takes several days for sections of the waterway to be emptied.
When we shared images with you over the weekend the moat bed was still pretty full.
However now, only a teeny bit of water remains.
Magic Kingdom has yet to announce upcoming 100th Anniversary plans for the castle.
However, once the moat is emptied and crews start working on the castle we’ll have a better idea of what is in the works.
If you’re lucky enough to be visiting Disney World in the week ahead then be sure to pier over the bridges and take a look at this process in action.
We’ll continue to visit the theme parks weekly and will keep you posted on any future developments so keep following along with us!
