Fantasyland 2.0

Times are a'changing in the Magic Kingdom! Fantasyland is getting a face-lift. Construction has been way for quite a while now and the first phase will open some time later this year! There have been major changes within the plans for the newest portion of Fantasyland. Each new area represents a movie and/or ride. A circus theme has been employed for the section surrounding what will be the new location of the Dumbo ride. Belle's small French village will lead the way to the new Be Our Guest restaurant in the land.
It has been rumored that park goers will soon be saying goodbye to Snow White's Scary Adventures. This spot will be filled with a Princess meet and greet. Snow White will be now represented through a new ride called the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Disney fans will have to wait until 2014 for this ride to open. That will be the last of new Fantasyland attractions to open.

Storybook Circus, The Great Goofini (originally named The Barnstomer), and the new Little Mermaid ride will be part the phase opening in 2012.







I'd like to say I will wait until 2014 to visit Disney World again so that I can see the completed renovation of Fantasyland, but I don't think I'll make it that long without an excursion to the happiest place on Earth! I cannot wait to see all of the new magic that the new area brings. We will miss Toon Town but this expansion will represent a new generation of imagineers and future Disney fans!And as Walt would say....

"I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things."
