Below is an image of the crane that will be used to continue the removal of the 50th-anniversary decorations. The massive crane will likely reach higher or at least near the height of the tallest spire of the Cinderalla Castle.
The crane arrived early this morning and has begun the next phase of the removal process for the 50th decor, as walls have also gone up around a section of the Cinderella Castle to prevent Guests from entering and getting hurt while construction continues on the castle.

More Construction Continues on the Iconic Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
Aside from walls going up around a portion of the Castle, the moat has also been partially drained per the image above.
Construction is continuing as the summer months are approaching, and WDW plans to complete all this before then. Otherwise, Disney will have some Park crowd issues for June, July, and August.
The legendary castle is described as “magical” and was inspired by the classic Disney animated feature film Cinderella (1950). Disney calls the castle an ‘enchanting edifice” and a “symbol” of the Magic Kingdom Park.
Per the official Disney website:
Cinderella Castle welcomes you to a magical world where dreams come true. The 189-foot landmark boasts lofty spires and ornate turrets and is the gateway to Fantasyland.
Surrounded by a tranquil moat, the grounds offer an array of picture-perfect photo ops. Explore lush lawns, gardens and Cinderella’s own wishing well.
