Announced on Monday via the Disney Parks blog, news of the transformation comes 70 years to the week that the iconic animated film was released.

Conceptual designs of Disney’s “bold, shimmering and royal makeover” appear to show more vibrant blues on the roofs and spires. There also appear to be more gold accents around the turrets, windows and trim, as compared with the current castle.
