Re: Why Can't they leave it gold?
The gold is too gaudy for the castle, but it really looks sharp on the Mark Twain!

Re: Why Can't they leave it gold?
I say take the gold paint off the lamps, but leave the castle as is. Quite frankly, I've never seen Sleeping Beauty Castle look so marvelous. It's much better than having a faded castle that looks like it's not being maintained and preserved. Disneyland's castle is always called "charming" compared to Cinderella at WDW. Now, I'd say it's spectacular!Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Re: Why Can't they leave it gold?
ORWEN: Well, if they'd maintain the castle all the time--the way they're supposed to do--it wouldn't ever have to look so faded as it did during the Pressler era.
ORDDU: As for the color's of the castle, they really should reflect more closely what the colors were from the animated film--SLEEPING BEAUTY. Gray stone walls with white upper towers and red rooves.
ORWEN: Of course we'd be willing to settle for the blue rooves that have traditionally been there. Too much gold paint on stone seems out of place. I'd like them to paint it the same way Hong Kong Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle has been painted. There will still be gold leaf highlights on the spires so--no matter what--you'll still have some gold on the castleComment

I only saw the castle once in 50th decor, and I remember it as looking rather beautiful. (Shame on me for only going once)...I liked it.

About the lamposts. The 55th anniversary is the Emerald Anniversary, we can just say they are getting a jump start on it.

Re: Why Can't they leave it gold?
Having a look at the past is always good too but I like the current(50th) colors.
What I mean by looking at the past heres a GREAT website with great pics of the past and present of SBC and DL.

^Thanks for sharing -- great website.
Oh, and to continue on the conversation, I'm glad the Mark Twain is going back to "normal." I disliked the gold tops of the two smokestacks.

Re: Why Can't they leave it gold?
I sort of feel sad about the gold leaving. My DH said, "If they left it gold, it would take away from it being special for the 50th". Whatever.

Re: Why Can't they leave it gold?
the gold was for the anniversary which was good however it shouldn;t stay except just as one lamppost or something of that nature small and not gaudy and then when the next anniversary comes they can decorate again for that oneThe fountain of youth really is in Florida... thats why they built Walt Disney World where they did.Comment

I enjoyed it all while it lasted, but It's definatly refreshing to see (In the pictures MCers post) the castle without decorations again.Comment

Didn't need to see the specials. That's how the castle looked when I was growing up in the 70s.Originally posted by Koutesu View PostsigpicComment

For the 100th, the mega shopping mall at 1313 Harbor Boulevard will erect a small plaque reading, "Former site of Disneyland."
"Yesterday, a man walked up to me and said, 'Isn't it a shame that Walt Disney couldn't be here to see this?' and I said, "He did see this, that's why it's here."

Re: Why Can't they leave it gold?
I think some of the trim wouild look nice being left but there still was a bit too much. at least it is still better than WDW, where they leave full anniversary decorations in place 7 years later.....Comment

Re: Why Can't they leave it gold?
I can't wait for the 75th! Year of the Diamond! I want to help plan it...the park will be so beautiful if it's done well...so many more classy options than gold.
I think it would be great if there were a place in the park celebrating each landmark anniversary. I wasn't alive for the 25th, but if there was a place in the park that had a decoration from it that'd be awesome!
