So, nothing is coming specifically to the old PH plan? I was hoping Raven was correct on the report of new plans. :shrug:

because I personally can't call it that![]()
He is.
Both of the old PH plots will be incorporated into the Dumbo/circus theme.
Then they should have left the plans alone. Too much Dumbo.
Don't you think it's a bit rash to say that even before updated concept art has been release and rumors are confirmed officially? Seems a bit premature.:shrug:
I liked the other plans fine. They were getting rid of two character's homes (mickey and minnie) for two fantastic themed ones. Plus Pixie Hollow. I just feel that if Dumbo is taking up it's original planned space, plus the Pixie Hollow area, it will feel like Chester's and Hester's. The old Dumbo art was boarder line anyway. If it gets even larger with no other attractions then that is what we will get. It just doesn't make much sense to me. It would have been better if they would have left the old plans the way they were and gave us the mine coaster in place of Pixie Hollow, IMO.
From what I have heard we are being slightly incorrect calling it a Dumbo land, it would be more accurate to call it a Circus Land. From my understanding, and no I am no expert, but Dumbo is only on the ride and in fact the Barnstormer may stay themed around Goofy just molded into a circus theme, ditto the merch and food areas.
So it's not all Dumbo but it is all circus related ... or I could be wrong ... Juan or Lee would know.
I hope they keep the houses, just get rid of the tents.
Dumbo's circus comes to toon town......
And that's even worse. Why circus land? It's just doesn't make sense to me. A full circus land with only one ride. And there are no other Disney moves with a Circus so the possibility of expanding to another franchise is pretty limited. The only thing they could do it a Mickey M&G with a Mickey's Circus theme. So we have added a mine coaster but removed Pixie Hollow for more Circus. I am hoping these reports are FLASE. Plus there was a possibility that Pixie would have gotten a Dark ride. So we have the same number of possible attractions but now we are lacking the themeing of the other Princesses houses. :hurl:

I see the only loss being a possible ride in PH, which may not have been included anyway.
We gain the new ride, and the princess M&G houseshurl
are gone.
Victory, as I see it.![]()
Ah the circus the dirty low class place where they are cruel to animals and creepy people crawl out of the woodwork to visit. So basically the antithesis of Disney. Neat.
I sorta agree with you although maybe I am just an all around malcontent.
Dumbo may be one of the most popular rides in Fantasyland and in the MK for that matter, so if they want to double the size of it, fine. But to take an area of the size I am imagining from the old plans and to theme it all to Dumbo is just plain overkill. If Fantasyland is to feature classic Disney animation, I wonder how many people would pipe up with Dumbo when asked what first comes to mind? Probably not that many. There are others that are either not represented or represented to a lesser degree that would probably be first and foremost for most people and probably deserve more development.
Moreover, I see it as even worse if it is not going to be a Dumboland but a "Circus" land. Really? That is the best we can come up with even on some limited budget? Who thinks Circus when they think Disney animation? Who thinks Circus when they think Magic Kingdom? And if you do think circus when you think WDW, you probably think of Chester and Hester and that gets me sick....:hurl: It seems like they have this idea about Dumbo and are trying to force it all to fit that theme. So, we will have a whole swathe of land containing a expanded Dumbo (nothing new there really), a kiddie coaster that has been forced into retheming for the area (again, nothing new) and (oh goody!!) some shops and dining options.
Like others have said, we have not seen anything definite, so maybe I am too quick to judge, but based on reports, that part of the "expansion" leaves me totally underwhelmed.
But overall, still happy the Meet and greets with the princesses are getting less emphasis and look forward to the mine ride thingy.
Clowns being mean to a baby elephant is a charming light?Now they get rid of her and we actually compare Dumbo- which portrays ciruses in a charming light- to a normal circus
