Yes, the Castle lighting is sucky. Cadaverous compared it, quite nail-on-the-headly, to candy rave party lighting. They could have reproduced the WWofD opening with much more subtle and nuanced lighting - and, even then, it would be better left to the opening of the fireworks show where such a fake, 2-D, plastic look would be momentarily appropriate.
The teacups, on the other hand, we so improved that I'm almost willing to give Disneyland a pass on that. (Kinda like how I will fawn over the 25-year old Space Mountain reopening like it's a brand new E-Ticket).
The cups spun much easier than they did before this refurb, but not as easy as in days of yore. As the King of Swank pointed out - - they were easy enough to get spinning, but awfully difficult to keep spinning. (That said, hehe, my teacup with Zapppop and Gemini Cricket also at the wheel was said by the "judges" to have beat the King's teacup in spinfastitude!)
