question. What do you guys think is the
0:02
secret to a truly timeless and iconic
0:06
look for these castles?
0:08
Yeah, I think it all comes down to paint
0:10
and color design. All of our castles
0:13
have its own unique color design. So,
0:15
it's not a one-sizefits-all.
0:17
In fact, every castle is treated
0:19
completely differently. So, a good
0:21
example of that is the stone on the
0:23
lower portion of the castle. So for
0:26
instance, here in Florida, we have seven
0:28
colors on the stone. And when we go to
0:30
paint it, we actually number each stone.
0:32
So it becomes an actual paint by number
0:35
and to get the perfect blend, which is
0:38
really cool. And another trick we do is
0:40
that we tend to keep the darker colors
0:42
towards the bottom of the castle and the
0:44
colors get lighter as you go up and that
0:46
creates the illusion that the castle is
0:48
much taller than it it actually is.
0:51
Another thing we do is we use specialty
0:53
paints. So think metallics, iridescents,
0:57
and that it really evokes the feeling
0:59
that royalty lives in these castles. And
1:02
lastly, we use high performance coatings
1:04
on the roofs. And we have to do that to
1:05
protect from the elements. But the cool
1:07
thing that we do is we're able to do
1:09
accelerated testing on all these
1:11
coatings. So we know that they'll
1:12
withstand the UV and the elements for at
1:15
least 10 years.
1:17
So, I think knowing this and Katie's
1:19
worked on the castle directly and what
1:20
it the paint is such an important thing
1:22
and today we want to introduce one new
1:24
paint scheme that is coming here to
1:26
Cinderella's castle at Magic Kingdom.
1:28
Um, we are bringing back a classic color
1:32
scheme to the castle.
1:46
We are just as excited. And so the
1:48
grays, the creams, the rich blues with
1:51
some touches of gold that really is the
1:54
heart of this castle. And so they'll be
1:56
coming in the future here a little bit
1:57
soon.
1:57
Wow.
