The new section of Fantasyland will be opening on December 6th, but for those people going in late November you are not out of luck. They will start previews of the section on November 19th. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...isney-world-resort/?CMP=SOC-WDWFY12Q2FBDM0332

Momentum.

 

[ubermazing]

Thats later than i had hoped for but oh well

Well, at least we have a solid date now. Wonder when passholder previews will be announced then. And I have a feeling the Disney Parks Blog will probably do their own form of a preview for a select number of readers.

Sooooo, we have a trip planned for the first of Sept.... do you think the hubs will want to go again in Dec.!?!

 

[Jim Handy]

I'll be able to see it. So that's good.

Anyone else notice how this is clearly a reaction to the media catching on to the fact WDW attendance is down?

But I arrive Nov. 10th and leave the 17th... Come on seriously?! Missing it by 2 days?!?!

What's unclear here is whether or not the preview is only for APs or if it's a "soft-opening" of sorts for everyone. The distinction (at least for me): My WDW vacation ends on Dec 6th (with an early morning flight and no chance of being there for the opening).

But if a non-AP like myself can get in on the preview goodness, then my 2 daughters (who don't even know about the trip) will still have a shot at seeing it.

Please don't look too closely behind the attendance curtain....

Can't hurt to ask

[Insect]

Woot!!! Right in the middle of my trip. I'll be there opening day.

 

[lebeau]

We arrive 11/01. Here's hoping for soft opens!

Wow, so great to finally have an official and non-vague date! The only thing that is still a mystery is the rest of Storybook Circus.

According to Attractions magazine Passholder previews along with Cast Member and DVC Member previews are expected to start before November 19th.

 

[DisneyJunkie]

Of course......the previews start on my birthday and two months AFTER my 2012 trip. Very nice...

 

[Nemo14]

We're there December 4 - 11!
