Magic Kingdom is getting a little bit of a makeover right now.

Cinderella Castle
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations kick off on October 1st and there’s a good amount of TLC happening in the Magic Kingdom. We’ve seen decorations added to the castle, little refurbishments all around, and updated signage for iconic stores and attractions. Now, another BIG piece of the castle makeover might be coming soon… .
Today, Disney filed a permit for the address that’s coded to Cinderella Castle with a creative exhibits company to “fabricate and install sign.”

We know that work on the 50th decorations is underway (You can already see them on the castle!), and the concept art for the decorations shows only one sign — a MASSIVE circular “50” sign that appears to have an iridescent (EARidescent, that is!) quality in some of the art.

Could this permit be in reference to that sign?! It’s certainly possible! We have to keep in mind that it could also be for some smaller sign located under the castle or on the side somewhere. Still, it certainly could be that MAJOR decorative addition.

The permit was filed with Icarus Exhibits who have worked on La Gelateria and the potential new popcorn stand in EPCOT, as well as some of the decorations on Cinderella Castle so far.
