Destination D23 recap: See what’s coming to Disney World

ORLANDO, Fla. — Disney’s annual Destination D23 weekend wrapped up on Sunday, and with it came several announcements for Walt Disney World.

Walt comes to life

Walt Disney himself will return to the stage via audio-animatronic technology at the Magic Kingdom’s Carousel of Progress.

Disney says the animatronic will welcome guests during a brand-new introductory scene.

The company added that more details are to be revealed, as well as what “John, Sarah, and the rest of the family are up to.”

Fresh coat of paint for Cinderella Castle

Cinderella Castle will be going back to its classic colors.

For the past few years, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of 1950’s Cinderella and the resort’s 50th anniversary, the castle has had a more rose gold look.

The pink is going away, and the gray, cream, blue, and hints of gold are returning.
