Listing of Fantasyland additions - including Casey Jr. Roundhouse and Scavenger Hunt

[ptaylor]

I found this list of additions on the official Disney site. Interesting that they name the Casey Jr Roundhouse water play area nd the Scuttle's Scavenger Hunt that we heard about being tested at the Living Seas (http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions...me-for-the-new-Fantasyland-in-Epcot-today.htm).

Storybook Circus
The sound of the calliope will lead you to the brand new carousels of airborne pachyderms on Dumbo the Flying Elephant—now with 2 Dumbos! Before taking to the skies on this Fantasyland favorite, experience an array of fun-filled family games and interactive wonders for kids of all ages inside the Big Top.

Barnstormer
Hosted by the Great Goofini, this daredevil roller coaster, which twists and turns high above the Storybook Circus grounds, is getting a bright new look.

Casey Jr. Roundhouse
Adjacent to the Fantasyland Train Station is the Casey Jr. Roundhouse, a circus-themed immersive water play area that's fun for the little ones. They'll splish and splash as Casey Jr. billows off cool steam and water squirts from playful monkeys, elephants and camels.

Under the Sea: Journey of The Little Mermaid
Make a splash with Ariel as you take a voyage in a clamshell into a world of imagination under the sea. This attraction features her friends Sebastian and King Triton and, of course, music from the Walt Disney Pictures film.

Scuttle's Scavenger Hunt
While approaching Ariel's Grotto to meet The Little Mermaid, join Scuttle for this fun, interactive game! Search the seaside entrance way to find the seagull's treasures from the Human World, like a dinglehopper or a bulbous snarfblatt. Scuttle will be on hand to help with the hunt.

Enchanted Tales with Belle
In Maurice's workshop, a magical mirror is your doorway to a captivating storytelling experience. Transport to the Beast's library to meet Belle and Lumiere, and share in a lively, interactive re-telling of the "tale as old as time."

Be Our Guest Restaurant
Experience the elegant ballroom, gallery and mysterious West Wing of the Beast's castle. With seating for 550, this magnificent dining hall will offer great quick-service meals by day and full table-service dining in the evening. Nearby in Belle's Village, discover the rousing Gaston's Tavern and Bonjour!

Princess Fairytale Hall
Greet Aurora, Cinderella and Tiana and in their new home, an elegant royal court fit for every princess.

The Seven Dwarfs' Mine Train
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, off to work you go! Take a rollicking, musical ride through the Seven Dwarfs mine—where a million diamonds shine. This roller coaster features a first-of-its-kind train that responds to every twist and turn of the track . The journey will be accompanied by music from Walt Disney's animated classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Thanks!:wave: It's good to see a little more official word on what's coming.

I noticed that they still haven't told us what is going in the two tents left over from toon town fair. And one more on the artwork if I remember right. Anyone know? Just meet and greets, stores, food? Maybe this area isn't finalized yet?

I'm fairly certain that the old tents will be completely empty save for a healthy pile of elephant **** exhibited prominently in the center of each. Refreshed daily, of course.

It will utilize FastPass.

The current plans call for just 2 tents and they will be stores.

If Snow White isn't listed here, it sounds like there might be some kind of M&G with her in the Dwarfs' cottage, similar to Ariel's Grotto. Still, it seems like a whole Fairytale Hall is a bit much to house just three princesses. Do we know who will move into their space in the Town Square Theater once they move to Fantasyland?

Are you sure that they both will be? We know that one will be a store, Big Top Souvenirs. But the above list makes no mention of Pete's Silly Sideshow, which Disney has been advertising as well. There have been some indications on this board that it might be a M&G.

Pretty sure PSS is just a decorative bill board meant to be nothing more than what Petes Garage was in TTF. And yes the current blue prints that I saw last week call for only two tents.

Lee will back this up and said this over at DK.

The 2 tents was brought up by Imagineering at the D23 event a few weeks back, so it is fact.

Thanks I forgot about that also

The list WAS at http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/magic-kingdom/attractions/expansion/ but it's no longer there. I don't know if it's just a glitch or if Disney pulled it on purpose.

I knew that there would only be two tents. It seems odd to me that there would be two large merchandise locations so close to each other, but if Lee says that they will both be stores then I'll accept his word.

 

[NewfieFan]

Bummer... I was hoping the other tent would house some sort of M&G. I'd love for there to be a place to meet some of the other classic cartoon characters (and maybe even some rare ones).

 

[JEANYLASER]

Thanks for the info!

 

[herc]

Big Top Souvenirs is going where County Bounty was before. It was supposedly the highest grossing retail outlet in the parks (or what was reported) and that is why TDO didn't want to lose it. The other tent is a little smaller and cannot even imagine having two retail locations so close together without an attraction leading you directly into the establishment.
I would suspect that it may be a M&G (since it was one for Mickey and Minnie prior so the rooms are there already) and food location. Would make perfect sense. Could be that Pete's Silly Sideshow is a M&G. Would love Horace and Clarabelle, Mortimer, Three Pigs, etc. to be there. It would be very cool. All speculation on my part.

I agree... we know that Ariel, Belle and Snow will have their own areas; so I thought the new hall would for sure include Rapunzel, with random appearances from Jasmine, Pocahontas & Mary Poppins like at Cindy's Royal Table?

I think there are MORE than enough meet-and-greets planned for this expansion...

Nope. There is no formal M&G designed for that area.

Two tents: One a store, named (perhaps tenatively) on the plans I have as "Side Show Souvineers". The other tent is identified as simply "Storybook Circus Meet & Greet."
The areas formerly occuped by Mickey's house and the other tent are labled "D-Zone" and "Confetti Plaza." (No clue what's up there.)

 

[Ignohippo]

Wouldn't "Strorybook Meet & Greet" be, I dunno, a meet & greet?

I would imagine D-zone (Disney Zone?) and Confetti Plaza would be the interactive games and possibly food.

Dear Lord, it sounds more and more like this will be pay-for-play carney games, which is someplace I was sincerely hoping they wouldn't go.
