Like many ambitious homeowners during quarantine, Cinderella has spiffed up her Walt Disney World castle with a fresh paint job – though social commenters remain divided regarding whether they love or loathe the new look.
The makeover for the Orlando, Fla., theme park hallmark was announced in February, just before the iconic princess flick’s 70th anniversary. Though Disney World unexpectedly closed on March 14 in response to the coronavirus pandemic, work on the royal residence evidently eventually continued.

"Kinda looks more like the Lego set now," one critic cracked.
