Yes it is very much forced perspective. They wouldn't be able to make it like Cindy's castle or it would conflict. It appears to me they might have longer term plans for that area too.
I'm thinking the "peaks" of BatB, LM and Dumbo will all be about the same height and not visible from each other's mini-lands. It was all clear in the blueprint. :lookaroun
kidding :lol:

that artwork is incredible a whole new fantasyland!!! too bad epcot is left out of anything new but MK is in need of this.

I wonder if this is going to a phased construction so that some things will open before others.
The fact they the official tweets mention both 2012 and 2013 makes me think that it will in fact be completed in phases.
Exactly. I don't care if they get rid of TTF (however I really like the shop inside the carnival tent) but they need to find a new place for Mickey and Minnie's homes as well as a good place for meet and greets for the fab five. Imagine explaining to a 4-year-old that Mickey's house has been torn down.
I was really hoping, when this announcement would be made, that a new ToonTown would be a surprise to the plans.
I don't know why they'd do a 200 - 500 million dollar project only to have a lot of families disappointed because they didn't spend another $10 million on a place for Mickey and the gang.

OK well the press release says its going to be the restaurant.
I don't know for a fact- but I'm guessing that there will be a place to meet Mickey Mouse, it just won't be in Judge's tent. Disney may do some things that we don't understand, but they aren't stupid. They know that people want to meet Mickey- they will provide someplace for that to happen.
Hi Res Dumbo and FL concept art now up at http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions/Fantasyland/News/12Sep2009-Fantasyland-expansion-concept-art.htm

Don't be surprised if there is a new MAIN location to meet the Fab Four in the near future in the Magic Kingdom.
At least that was what the rumors point towards.

Here is a link to a page on the Orlando Sentinel that includes the prints leaked this summer and the artists rendering released today by Disney. The rendering shows Pixie Hollow and dumbo locations swapped from the earlier print.

The Tinkerbell area looks pretty huge. Is it possible there might be something more than a meet and greet and they are just "phasing" the announcements?

It will be much more than that. We are getting the Paris concept! Animatronics and in three dining areas. It IS an attraction. And it doesn't rule out a dark ride in the future. 50th?.
That anyone could find anything negative about this.........:zipit:
