Last year, Disneyland Resort launched “Project Stardust” to clean up some of the older attractions in the park. The project launched with a new paint scheme for the park’s centerpiece: Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Sleeping Beauty’s signature pink was also more visible on the castle’s facade.

the 50th anniversary.

the park for 2021. This is a subtle change to the iconic castle,
especially when you consider they could have done something like this
