WDW Fact of the Day 4/2
To commemorate Walt Disney World's 25th anniversary on October 1, 1996 , Disney magically transformed Cinderella Castle into an 18-story tall birthday cake, complete with red and pink "icing," giant candy canes, and 26 glowing candles.
It took more than 400 gallons of pink paint to cover the castle, which was decorated with multicolored "sprinkles," 26 cables, ranging in height from 20-40 feet tall, 16 two-foot long candy stars, 16 five-foot candy bears, 12 five-foot gumdrops, four six-foot Life Savers, 30 three-foot lollipops, and 50 two-foot gum balls. Additionally, more than 1000 feet of pink and blue inflatable "icing" was needed to finish it off.

You know, I might have been OK with it, except......that year was my one and only time staying in the tower of the Contemporary. We were on the MK side in a 10th floor room and I just remember waking up every morning and looking out my patio window at that gorgeous.....umm, errrr......cake. LOL. Now that I think about it...I was pregnant on that trip, so maybe it just gave me morning sickness to look at it.....

Thanks Alex I sure do remember the castle cake The only thing good about it was I was there on Oct. 1, 1996 to see an uncle of mine officially retire in the ceremony who worked at the MK from the day it opened.
