Cinderella's Castle Crane Work

[Airblue1]

Is the crane still working on the Cinderella's castle?
Many thanks

It was last week. They take it down for Wishes. Pretty interesting to see guys being taken in a basket to the top of the castle. Now if that were my first trip to Disney - I might not have liked it so much.

Wow! Christmas was over 2 months ago. Can't possibly still be taking lights off the castle, can they? Are they doing other work on the castle?

[Niecyboo]

The crane was there today, so yep, they are still doing crane work.

this is such a me me question, but when is the crane going to go away?

[Coleby]

It is not going away. It is going to be the new park icon lol

It was up one August when we were there celebrating our Anniversary (I'm assuming putting up lights for Christmas) but we couldn't get any Photopass pictures for our Anniversary with the castle in the background because the crane was always there. Looks to me like they could do this kind of stuff at night or at least not take so long to get it done. Yes, before I get flamed, I know it takes a lot of work and time to put the lights on the castle, but it sure ruins the experience for people several times of the year. Why would they still be taking down lights three months after Christmas?

I could be wrong but weren't they working on a completely submersive experience to correlate to the show they are installing at DL? Be glad we only got a crane. They got a giant skrim covering theirs.

It's really not that bad. We've been down and have crane shots with Photopass and our own camera with castle. With a little,very easy photoshop work - Poof, it's gone! Along with inconvenient tourists that may ruin an otherwise great pict!!

Seems like it's been there for an awfully long time. I say they should dress it like a dragon!

Don't you mean "Cinderella" Castle?

The crane is a pain, I have been there when It's up, but I do like to try and photoshop it out of my pics when I can. Or I get creative and take close ups (as below with the crane side out of view). You can always get down on the ground and add a person in this shot.

As Coleby pointed out, look at Sleeping Beauty Castle, Disneyland. Can't help that with Photoshop!

Hahahaaaa! I get this, but actually I have less of a problem with this than I have with people calling 'Ohana....O'Hana. I never knew the Polynesian had an Irish restaurant!!

It is her castle that has the crane, therefore Cinderella's castle has a crane.

The crane has its own twitter feed.
WDW Crane

I think the name of the Castle is Cinderella Castle..
So Cinderella Castle has a crane behind it.

To add to the confusion..Cinderella does have a royal table.

It *isn't* "Cinderella's* castle; it belongs to the king, the father of the prince, that Cinderella married, thus becoming a *princess*...

Sorry. I'm being OCD here about "my" park
