After nearly three years of start-and-stop painting, all the futuristic rocks in Walt Disney World’s Tomorrowland have been completely repainted.
Tomorrowland Rock Painting Complete

The Tomorrowland rocks were previously repainted in 2016, when their original reddish-brown shade was replaced with a more modern, metallic blue-gray finish.
They started the process again but stalled back in 2023. The project began with the entryway rocks framing the bridge, but after these were finished, Disney never repainted the other rocks, leaving them a faded, dull gray.

We noticed crews back at work repainting the rocks in early February 2026, after a pause of nearly two-and-a-half years. After a month of regular work, the rocks are finally fully repainted in shiny blue hues.
The project was able to be completed because the Magic Kingdom moat was drained to accommodate the repainting Cinderella Castle, making it easier to also reach the Tomorrowland rocks.
There’s a definite contrast between the more recently painted rocks and the ones completed a couple of years ago.
We don’t know if weathering will naturally age the rocks or if additional finishing work is yet to be done to add more shading and depth.
Are you relieved to see the Tomorrowland rocks finally all the same shade? Let us know on social media.
