Castle Decorating
I remember a few years ago Disney decorated Cinderella's castle with candy and it was pink i think it was them celebrating how many years its been open. I also remember another year it was decorated in gold statues. Any one have any pictures of the castle decorations from those years or any other time it was decorated?

thanks for the info will be looking that up in a few minutes. I sort of agree with the tackyness of the cake castle but i remember thinking it was kind of creative. Aside from those two castle decorations i don't remember any other times they decorated the castle.

The castle was turned into a pink birthday cake for the 25h Anniversary of Walt Disney World.
The castle was adorn with the gold statues and a magic mirror for the Happiest Celebration on Earth(50th anniversary of Disneyland/Disney Parks/Walt's invention of the Theme Park).
The 25th anniversary started before the birth of this site, but we do have a section on The Happiest Celebration on Earth.

I was there both times and the pink cake was hideous, while the gold decorations were realtively tasteful. I think that WDW learned their lesson with the pink cake. Some people cancelled their weddings because they didn't want that cake in the background. What happens with people's memories is that over time they think that it wasn't that bad. Then they see a picture of it and realize it was that awful. Pictures of that cake still make me shudder.

I went about a few months before the castle was turned into a cake. I brought my girlfriend at the time (Now wife) and was so excited to show her main street for the first time. Talk about disappointing.....to walk into the kingdom only to see a giant pink castle. Ughhhh. It was no where near completed. I had no idea what they were doing until a few days later. But for our entire trip it was just the regular castle painted pink
I did read about another time it was decorated though. When Stitch was introduced. They had the castle covered with toilet paper and some grafiti on the sides of the wall that said things like "Stitch Rules"
It was only for 1 day though I believe

I agree from my memory it did not seem that bad but when i looked at it online i did realize how awful it actually was. Good spot there.

My absolute favorite is when they decorate it for Christmas. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

I saw the castle look "normal" on my visit when I was 11 or 12. I thought it was amazing! I went back after my high school graduation and it was the pink birthday cake! I remember looking at it and thinking, "wow, that's different" but a little disappointed. When my hubby and I went in December it was back to its beautiful glory and had the amazing Christmas lights! When I walked down Main Street, it had been 12 years since my last WDW trip. I literally got choked up to see how amazing the regular castle looked!! I don't think they should really change the castle much, it's too iconic to mess with!
Dreaming of Disney World every day, until I can get back there again!

I am 48 years old and the first site of the Castle when I walk onto Main Street still gets me choked up. I cant think of any other place that evokes that response in me.

Saw the 2005 decorations and thought they were fun! Never knew about the Stitch decorations or ever saw the cake castle. I always thought people were exaggerating about how bad the cake castle looked. Well I saw a picture while I was looking for a picture of the Stitch castle. No exaggeration! The cake castle was truly horrible!

I love the castle in its original glory and with the Christmas lights which I wish they would keep on all year round.
I did not like it decorated like the pink birthday cake.
Hopefully they will never mess with it too much again!
