I just got a look at them, and I'm sure they will be popping up everywhere soon.

The "Seven Dwarves Mine Train" is HUGE! It takes up almost all of the space not occupied by Beast and Mermaid The dwarves' cottage is built alongside it. Looks beautiful! Also, I heard the cars will rock from side to side.

Princess Fairytale Hall is replacing SWSA.

Great Goofini looks like it will use same barnstormer "planes" painted red.

Dumbo queue is called "Storybook Circus"

In the artwork, there is a Casey Jr. train parked along the right side of the Dumbo spinners.

Drawings say opening in Fall 2012.

I like the sound of that; should make for a great meet and greet area.

Oh...yay? :shrug:

Meh...

Dumbo queue is called "Storybook Circus"

Okay...never heard of naming a queue area but okay...

But still no Casey Jr. ride I take it?

Really? That may include Dumbo, but I imagine that would not include Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. No way they get that done in 10 ish months, unless all the supplies are just sitting out of sight and they plan on working 24/7 (and even then it would be a longshot).

So, uh, what are the other sites y'all go to that usually don't have too many qualms about posting images and such?

Sorry no drawings yet. I'm trying to get my hands on them to post. But I'm sure they'll be surfacing online in the next few hours. Just wanted to hurry and give you an old-fashioned written description as soon as I could!

I first saw them last spring. Just wondered if anyone has released them publicly before tonight's event as you stated.

A few more details---

"Storybook Circus" may actually be the name of the "circusland", and it appears to be a completely separate area from the "forest" with a separate entrance thru a small tent. Although Dumbo and the Teacups will sit only a few dozen feet apart, there is a small landscaping berm between them. To get to Dumbo from the Teacups, you'll have to walk almost back to the eastern edge of Mermaid to enter the area thru the tent.

It looks like the 2 large TTF tents are still in the same place. It's hard to tell from the drawing what is filling the large space between those tents and the RR station. Maybe just landscaping and benches. Also, the Casey Jr train does not appear on the new overhead drawing, only the Dumbo drawing, so maybe that is older artwork.

Casey is indeed in that area. Not a ride but the train itself is there.

Mine train is 4 cars long, with 4 people in each car. The "mountain" does not look very tall. The drawing shows the Mermaid castle towering above it. But the site is huge. I'd estimate it is at least twice the size of Disneyland's Storybookland/Casey Jr plot.
