Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

[Scarletwebslingr]

Indeed, especially considering that Uni has been selling essentially the same type of "light-up goblet" since WWoHP opened.

This goblet looks really impracticable to drink from though.

If Lil John had a goblet it would be that gaudy potter one

Disney really is beating the butterbeer concept into the ground aren't they? Carsland as 3 or 4 varieties of it, and it appears FLE has at least 2.

There's 3 actually, Be Our Guest is also serving "Lemonade topped with Wildberry foam".

WDWMagic posted a video walkthrough of Be Our Guest restaurant now that they allowing guests to tour the armory room, parlor room, rose gallery dining room, west wing dining room, in addition to the ballroom dining room. It looks like the quick service aspect of Be Our Guest's lunch service will actually take place in the parlor room, where a queue is set up with nine separate touch-screen kiosks to order at. I'm not sure what this means for the three screens in the armory room. Perhaps those will only show the menu options.

WDWMagic also posted some great photos of the areas of the restaurant now open to guest viewing:

I'm assuming that Be Our Guest has begun serving food (at least to CMs) considering this tweet.

I've just been given lunch vouchers for today at Be Our Guest restaurant!!!

Also saw on twitter that new fantasyland will be in cast previews only until the end of the month. Can anyone confirm that?

 

[Scarletwebslingr]

I was there today and they said it was closed for cast previews. My gal and I got our CM tickets for Tuesday.

I can confirm cast previews have started, but I have not heard an end date yet.

 

[Hatetofly]

Several cast members from other parks that i talked to during my last two visits still had no idea it soft opened to the public over a week ago

 

[maxairmike]

It is fully in Cast Previews and will be until Nov. 2nd with the exception of a day or two. Then DVC, D23, and AP pass holders will get their previews on various days.

Be Our Guest is quite simply stunning in all facets. That's pretty much all I can say at the moment, but I think it is safe to say that everyone's jaws will be hitting the floor when they walk in.

So pretty much it will make eating at the Plaza restaurant seem like grabbing a hot dog at your local 7-11

And that's just the quick service lunch aspect!

@easywdw reports that Disney is selling the new mugs from Gaston's Tavern at other locations (and with other stickers in place of the Gaston one).

these ummmmmmm Gastons tavern inspired cups are popping up elsewhere. Pinocchio and jiminy at village haus

headless horseman at sleepy hollow. they are $7.99 filled with your choice of MAGICal fountain beverage

 

[ReelJustice]

They just don't get it do they?

 

[Hatetofly]

Oh stickers, classy

 

[TSSD]

They just don't get it do they?

Oh no, they get it. Plastic cups + Stickers + Little Kids = $$$$$$$$$

 

[Splatter]

They have already Mall-ized one of the biggest new retail items to their themed experience with different stickers with the same exact Fantasyland mold and design. Kind of lame.

 

[Nick]

Yup. That's the biggest thing about Butterbeer: It's only available in WWoHP. Now I know they aren't selling the LeFou's Brew elsewhere (yet...), but still, it kind of makes it a little less special.

 

[rhino4evr]

think of how stupid that cup would look if you put a picture of Harry Potter's face on it....
