Disney confirmed to BlogMickey that Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage maintenance is behind the July 7-14 pause for Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire at Magic Kingdom.
Crews have applied a fresh gray coating across the stage. The work follows the Cinderella Castle repaint that wrapped in June, bringing the stage floor closer to the castle's restored gray, cream, blue, and gold palette.
Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire remains listed to return July 15. The show brings Mickey and friends together with Tiana, Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Olaf, Anna, and Elsa.
Our earlier report tracked the unexplained schedule gap before Disney confirmed the maintenance work.
