That sounds really cool!
So these are non-Disney related -- just original concepts?

So these are non-Disney related -- just original concepts?

Yes they were original concepts however we had a Fantasy Kingdom land which did take some heavy inspiration from Disney.
Nice!
We do some of that around here as well with projects...trying to keep attractions to original backstories, not relying on IPs, things like that.

Yeah. I mean original Disney films but not Hyperspace Mountain or Guardians of the Galaxy Breakout. Original classics should not be given IP makeovers

In terms of dining a Beauty and the Beast restaurant would be perfect in my opinion as would one themed to the Mad Hatters tea party.
Excellent suggestions! I think we have Be Oyr Guest planned for the Beauty and the Beast area...and the Mad Hatter would be a great restaurant

You all sure have made some progress since the last time I checked in here.I kindof forgot about this hence my absence, sorry. But looks good and I appreciate that there's art for everything already.
Keep on tagging me if you want my opinion or advice about anything! Happy to share thoughts if you've got anything specific.
I'm going to be posting a sketch for a new map -- if you have any feedback on it that'd be great!
@Imagineerland -- To give some context -- here's some old versions of the map
A few weeks ago...
A few days ago...
And to give a bit more context -- the Villains Land is slotted to fit in the bottom right corner of Fantasyland if looking at it from the overhead view...
And here's the latest version of the map...
(Right side got cut off the "To Dis--" is ..."To Discovery Land")
Basically I'm trying to open up the middle of the land to give it some breathing room. From the previous version, I moved around some of the dark rides...such as your Tangled Tale ride, and consolidated most of the non-English european based fairy tales into the Fantasyland Forest (on the left side of the map)
Tangled, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast are now all together -- creating a flow of forestation throughout that side of Fantasyland.
This merges with a transition from forest to London -- with Winnie the Pooh -- an IP that incorporates both English storytelling and a forest setting. The "Hundred Acre Wood and Pooh C-ticket then transition into a "Critter Country mini-land" to the left, and if you turn right, you end up in London Square (similar to New Orleans Square with its quaint design)
London Square area features rides such as Mr. Toad, Mary Poppins, and Peter Pan's Flight.
Another English tale, Alice in Wonderland -- veers off from the more fanciful "Neverland" facade of Peter Pan's Flight and into "Wonderland" for the tea cups and an Alice trackless attraction.
Traveling south of that we have an Alpine Village aesthetic - with a walkthrough B-ticket and a Pinocchio Boat Ride.
In the center is @D Hindley 's canals, Dumbo spinners, and the Casey Jr. transit system (which I think you were even talking about way back when) the Casey Jr. Train that would go through all of the attractions like the peoplemover) -- we also have a Fantasyland stage (most likely themed similar to the Canals to blend in)
In the front we have Fantasia Castle -- which if coming from the entrance to the park, blends in with the "Main Street" of the park -- Fantasia Gardens. The Castle has a Fantasia attraction in it as well as a stage in front of it.
Lastly, I numbered a bunch of empty buildings near and around the respective attractions -- we were talking about dining/shopping earlier...so those numbers indicate potential dining/shopping locations throughout the lands. They can either tie in with the surrounding attractions or be new entities that fit the overall Fantasyland theme. If you have any suggestions for those -- that would be great!
Some that @JackWatkinson started to mention were a Mad Hatter and Beauty and the Beast restaurant.
Thanks! And if anyone else has any feedback on this as well -- please don't hesitate to post!

Shanghai Disney has a shop called 'hundred acre goods' I think this would be a great fit.@Imagineerland -- To give some context -- here's some old versions of the map

Noted! That'd probably be #3 on the map right across from Winnie the Pooh!
Here's some photos of it

Yes! we seem quite low on shops at the moment.
As in we have no shops!

Yes hahaAs in we have no shops!
If we look at #1 on the map -- I made that with this image in mind
Imagine walking from the Casey Jr/Dumbo area -- through a quaint French village and looking at Beast Castle in the distance.
I'm thinking we could have Bonjour Gifts and maybe even a Belle Storytime/Meet and Greet in a children's bookstore shop.

Looks great! Shops and we need more meet and greats throughout the land.

Also the building on the left called 'Gastons' could be similar to Gastons Tavern in the Magic Kingdom.

A Cherry Tree Lane Meet and Greet? Maybe even a Mary Poppins street show? @kap91 designed our Jolly Holiday attraction so maybe she could help in that regard!
