One of the largest buildings on Main Street, U.S.A., at Magic Kingdom Park is looking shiny and new thanks to a fresh coat of paint. This is the latest update in a refurbishment project that first began earlier this year, when Walt Disney World Resort installed scaffolding and scrim on the Town Square Theater building.

On March 25, WDWNT reported that Disney cast members had repainted some decorative pieces atop the Town Square Theater building on Main Street, U.S.A., at Magic Kingdom Park. The new additions were stark white when installed above the windows on the three rooftop towers a few weeks ago and are now beige with white detailing, matching the rest of the building. The outlet shared this photo on Facebook:

Still, it doesn’t look like Walt Disney World Resort is done with the building. One of the flat, arch-shaped pieces on the front of the building’s porch overhang was visibly damaged during the recent refurbishment project and has recently been painted with white primer. Presumably, Disney cast members will eventually repaint it gray to match the identical decorations on the rest of the Town Square Theater.

Walt Disney World Resort hasn’t issued any statements about this project or given a completion timeline, which is typical for cosmetic refurbishments that don’t impact operations.

The Town Square Theater

The Town Square Theater is one of the largest buildings on Main Street, U.S.A., at Magic Kingdom Park. The building, on the right when guests enter the original Central Florida Disney park, is home to Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, the park’s main Mickey Mouse meet-and-greet, and a small merchandise location. It also houses a second meet-and-greet space, which is currently empty but often hosts event-exclusive meet-and-greets, like Jack Skellington and Sally during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Operations inside Town Square Theater are unaffected by the ongoing refurbishment project.
