The first time I remember seeing the castle "transformed" was for the 25th anniversary of Walt Disney World in 1997. It looked more like a big frosted cake but it was an amazing sight to see. There was a balloon-like covering over the actual castle to give it this appearance. It was extremely colorful and to the six year old that I was, it looked like my dream house.
The next time I saw the castle made over was for their Cinderellabration in 2005 when the castle was adorned in gold embellishments giving it an even more regal appearance.
But nothing can compete with the picturesque view of the castle at night. The lighting on the castle is constantly changing through the darkness. It is possible to take a number of pictures during one night in the park without any of them looking alike.
Although I'm always amazed by the castle no matter how it looks, the most magical view I have witnessed was during the winter of 2010. Each night at the end of the fireworks show, a magical cascading transformation occurred as the structure gave the appearance of turning into a shimmering, frosted, ice castle. It is truly I sight I will not forget.
