Are we sure we want the attraction to star an original princess character? I’m not super on board with that idea as I feel like it would be a bit cliché as there are already a number of pieces of media starring a princess in training (Sofia the First, Brave, etc.)
What if we were invited to partake in the celebration of all the princesses put on by the animal friends/sidekicks? Have Sebastian and Mushu leading it or something?

I think Mushu and Sebastian would be a fun comedic duo! The more serious trio could also be the Fairy Godmother, Grandmother Willow, and Grandma Talla from Moana. The three Disney grandmas!

Can make it an E-ticket of the flying horse race from Sofia the First

IDEA!!!
Alright, so what if our Castle Courtyard was themed to the Castle's Gardens. The Gardens, by some sort of magic, come to life, revealing that they come to life with the magic of the castle. We can theme it all to Fantasia and have some Fantasia flat rides before branching off. Theme the whole castle courtyard to a "Fantasia Gardens of Seasons"

Edit: Flowers and Trees can fit in here too as Silly Symphonies was basically proto-Fantasia​
This kinda got buried as everyone was jumping in. Thoughts? I think if we did this, we could transition smoothly between all of the different seasons as well as the big Princess ride in the back through “Fantasia Gardens of Seasons”

Here’s an idea of the scenes in the princess attraction, which I’m just going to call “Once Upon A Dream”

-The boat floats through Fantasyland

-We enter a cave and see the Fairy Godmother, Grandmother Willow, and Grandma Tala, who is a pepper’s ghost effect, they talk about the tales of the courageous Disney princesses who stood up for what was right.

- We find Snow White by a wishing well singing “I’m Wishing”

-We see Cinderella cleaning the floors as bubbles emerge. The boat enters a fog effect like the Davy Jones one that used to be in POTC where Cindy is projected on the smoke.

-This transitions to the bottom of the sea where we circle about Ariel singing “Part of your World”

-We enter the courtyard of the Beast’s castle and find Belle singing about the Beast’s change of heart during “Something There that Wasn’t There Before.

-We find ourselves circling around Aladdin and Jasmine as they feel the water during “A Whole New World”

-We see Mulan singing “Reflection”

-We ride alongside Pocahontas during “Just Around the Riverbend”

-We see Megara singing “I Won’t Say (I’m in Love)

-We see “Almost There” sung by Tiana

-We circle around Rapunzel and Flynn during “I See the Light”

-We either see “Let it Go” or “Into the Unknown” depending on the theme of the attraction.

-Moana sings “How Far I’ll Go”

-We circle around Aurora and Phillip as they dance together. Animatronics of the Princesses watch as well as others who weren’t included in the attraction like Jane, Merida, and Gisselle.

It's a nice idea. Entering through the Castle Courtyard and having it be a magical garden is a good tone-setter for this Fantasyland.

All I noticed is Snow White is missing and Merida is an official Disney princess so maybe include her own scene? Not sure what you'd do for her though?

Also, I feel For the First Time In Forever or Some Things Never Change may fit better for Frozen, just because both songs feature both Anna and Elsa, giving equal representation. (Especially since Anna is the better princess and deserves everything)

I like the hub and spoke idea for the land, it would fit nicely and everything would be easily accessible.

I'm just going to throw out a hot take: I really am sick of seeing frozen in the parks. It's just all over the parks in real life and would not make our park unique. That said I would rather emphasize more princesses that don't get represented as much (e.g. Brave, Pocahontas)

While I totally get this line of thinking, there really isn't any Frozen in most Fantasylands. It also is Disney's biggest franchise with a ton of popularity, so I think we do have to include it, especially in a winter-themed area. That said, if the majority of people don't want Frozen here, we can discuss cutting it

I totally get the Frozen fatigue, but there isn't a Fantasyland yet that has Frozen in it and it is a perfect fit for the Winter sub-land. It might at least help it if we made a Frozen attraction that's not like one currently in the parks. For instance, perhaps a Matterhorn-style roller coaster going through the mountains and Elsa's ice palace?

I understand that, I'm just thinking about reality:

Frozen....is.....EVERYWHERE.

For example: there's frozen at Epcot, the sing along at HWS, there making an entire land for it at paris and HK. It's just too much.

Idk, mabye getting frozen shoved in my face during the summer fun thing at HWS just was too much for me. It's a good movie, it's just overused.

I get Frozen fatigue. And I think being a prominent part of fall, winter, and the crossover ride might be a bit much.

But with a Fantasyland with a snow/ice/elements theme in it, it would be a missed oppurtunity to not have Frozen in some way.

I like the garden idea! It feels like our land might be kind of flowing backwards though.

If I'm keeping up with everything, we go through the castle into garden and then through a forest and then to a village.

Maybe the storybook village could be by the castle and the Fantasia Gardens of Seasons could be by the E-Ticket?

So, closer to the castle is more developed and human environments, the further away you get the more natural it is.

This is how I kinda pictures it. You’d pass through the gardens to get to the village and all the seasonal areas would be outside the garden gates. It’d be like an actual castle with a village outside it’s walls
So, looking at @D Hindley's map I actually think it flows well either way.
