At least for once the general public will know that it is going away and we won't run into a situation like 20k where it is simply closed forever without even the slightest warning.

I seriously doubt dumbo will be closed then.:wave:
Excellent news. What about toon town. Do you think she'll be able to see it once in her life?

Yes, I think you'll be safe.
Excellent news indeed. So, when do think the actual MK attractions will close definatly to make place for the new fantasyland. So i can tell friends to pay a last visit to old friends...

Toontown?
I wouldn't expect Toontown to close until very late in the process. I'd guess late 2011, maybe not until 2012.
None of the original Fantasyland attractions are closing, save Dumbo for a short period of time.

What is planned to happen to Barnstormer theme wise? If Dumbo is in that area Im guessing it would probably be something from one the older classic Disney films? Or will it be part of Pixie Hollow. Seems that was the only part of the refurb that nothing was announced on.

The attractions that would appear to need downtime are:
Dumbo (to move the spinner)
Carousel (If it's still moving)
Mad Tea Party (If the roof is changing)
Barnstromer (if it's being rethemed)
Considering we have a 3 year window for construction, I would imagine that the downtime for these would be staggered, and none of it would be substantial. As I said elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised if they open up Dumbo in it's new location with one spinner, the same day they close Dumbo in the old Location. To get an idea on the spinner time frame - how long was the Astro Orbiter down at Disneyland? They completely dismantled it recently and put it back together.

I'm guessing that all the guests will see is the walls and maybe some signs with "coming soon" and the art.
