George Will said that the Golden Age of baseball is whatever took place when you were 13 years old.
That's probably why I prefer the light blue look of the Magic Kingdom's Cinderella's Castle from the 1970s.
I hate the current combination of:
1. too much ostentatious gold
. . (favored by the campy Liberace & He Who Shall Not Be Named/Mr. {or Ms.} "Look-at-me, I'm SOOOO rich!")
2. with that slightly purple-ish dark blue that replaced the light blue on the turrets that used to blend so beautifully with the Florida skies,
3. ugly pink middle (that replaced the lighter, more subtle shade) &
4. the grey bricks at the bottom. Actually I don't mind the grey.
It's a garish combination -- not nearly as bad as the Birthday Cake Castle -- but I can't stand it.
From what I've read, most of you like it, but if any of you concur with my disgust, please share your thoughts because I feel like I'm alone on this.
From what I've seen, the often-better Oriental Land Company has kept the Tokyo Disneyland castle more attractive.
