Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

[maxairmike]

Thats funny, I will be at the Magic Kingdom for the first time in nearly two years this Saturday :look:

With that knowledge, I'll probably be at the park as well, at least until about 6 (gotta be home for some college football!). Mini OU meet up?

@cmdisbrow posted a really great HQ pic of the Be Our Guest facade

@cmdisbrow also posted the following...

Bonjour! Village Gifts!

This popcorn cart in New Fantasyland is called "Maurice's Amazing Popping Machine". Nice!

The waterfalls in New Fantasyland are also running now.

WDW News Today posted some construction pics of SDMT...

Just an FYI Disney has announced their next press conference for December 7th, the day after FLE opens. Don't get to excited as it will probably just cover the Dwarves, Princess Meet and Greet, and Tangled Meet and Greet. If we're lucky they may announce a new Pan queue as well.

I hear that Mermaid was evidently open at some point today...starting to look very likely it will open on Saturday for some amount of time.

 

[Hatetofly]

I've been on the Mermaid ride 4 times this week :look:

I'll likely be up there either Friday or Sunday, so hopefully there will be some sort of soft open.

 

[rhino4evr]

so they a whole month ahead of schedule? That's good news.

I believe he is referring to riding the one out in DCA this week, if ours were open im sure we would see an influx of stuff on here and Twitter about it

 

[maxairmike]

Yeah...I just remembered he was out in Cali...d'oh! :bonk:

 

[Hockeyman55]

Lol, I didnt want you to to run over there and find a wall of bushes still.

 

[maxairmike]

That's what excitement will do to you!

You should have seen me when Potter was in its early soft open stages. Yeah, I'm easily excitable.

This is SOOOOOO well executed. It reminds me of Marie Antoinette's peasant village at Versailles:

Does anyone know what the secret is to getting Passholder e-mails? I updated all my info on the website so that I would get the e-mails about the Fantasyland preview but I never got a single e-mail. Luckily my friend got his and forwarded it over. But I want them! How fast do you expect those time slots to fill up on Monday?

 

[Scarletwebslingr]

I was there this morning. No soft openings that I saw.

Lol same here. I get all their disney insider and movie emails but no passholder. Lucky I follow websites so I don't really miss any news but still...

I wouldn't be bragging about that

Its not exactly a re-ridable attraction, I'm good with a one and done

The first three quarters is a good dark ride and considering ours is getting ready to open I wanted as many pictures and references as possible to see any possible changes.

You really think there will be changes?:rofl:

 

[Hatetofly]

No but if there is anything I will be able to spot it
