Fantasyland expansion a go - CONFIRMED

[PoutyFace]

I believe you can see Aurora's cottage between the blue and gold spires, north of the Pooh area

Edited to add picture

You know who the real hero is in all this, right? (no, no, it's not jt04)


DLP MAGIC, BABY!!!


Do we have some kind of posthumous award we can give him/her.

Whoever said Pixie Hollow was going to be where TTF is now with a tree for the meet and greet is exactly right according to the Orlando Attractions write-up. Great eye!

I like how JT was confident that D23 would not disappoint. Good for JT! Look at us all now, we're practically virtually wetting our pants.

Great concept but I wonder about where we will see exisiting rides might go. I cannot grasp where Mickey Philharmagic,or Peter Pan might move to

^Fantasyland Railroad Station

I noticed that the blueprints don't really match the concept art. The same attractions are included, but the order of Dumbo, the BarnStormer, and Pixie Hollow is a bit messed up. :shrug:

HI all: I saw where someone commented about the train station possibly being another cottage. This image has some resemblance to the Snow White cottage as I recall from seeing the movie and from my WDCC collection. Since it is adjacent to the coaster which had been rumored to get a dwarves theme, maybe that is a possibility?

 

[Exprcoofto]

Isn't the facade of Winnie the Pooh changing with more of a tree theme to match it's M&G? Especially since it's outside of the Castle Wall which will be containing the ugly Medieval Faire theme. Would Winnie the Pooh have to close while the queue is redone?

This link was posted on the D23 thread. It's a high res picture of the concept art.

Finally found a wallpaper to replace my old Herb Ryman concept art

Not moving anywhere. They're not part of the concept art. They're off to the lower left.

so is Mickey's toon town faire going to be gone?...no more mickey or minnie house?

Yes gone.

Thank goodness! :sohappy:

1. No.
2. Yes
3. No
4. No
5. Yes

Well, Dumbo is going to close! lol

I think all the Princess M&G are to replace all the M&G they are closing in Toon Town. At least they are well themed and not tents! And thank god the Pixies are a Phase 2 addition, lets hope that gets canceled or morphed into a dark ride...

Here is Aurora's cottage.

edit: Dangit! Someone beat me to it!

 

[imagineer boy]

So why exactly are they moving Dumbo? What's the reasoning behind that? I kinda liked it where it was...

 

[Studios Fan]

This expansion solved the MK's three biggest problems right now: table-service dining, a big E-ticket, and Fantasyland crowding. The rest of the park will continue to be refurbed.

Completely agree.

Not sure how that is going to be done yet. It may be staggered, so the new area is constructed while the current Dumbo remains in operation.

WDI have been talking baout nothing being closed, so we'll see.

 

[DisneyEverest]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!! :sohappy::sohappy:

Dumbo in it's current spot has very low capacity, no queue area, and causes a traffic bottle neck. It's going to be so much better in a new area.

I don't know why they moved it, but I like that it is closer to the barnstormer, hopefully they will integrate the both together well.

My only fear is a big yellow tent being in view from tomorrowland, but anything they put there will be, so whatever.

 

[Testtrack321]

The dueling dumbos, notice how the right one has 2x the capacity of the left one? Hmmm.....

Who cares why? We are getting a Dumbo mini land!!!!!!!! :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:
