The New Fantasyland

[EPCOTPluto]

- I hope Pan still get a major remodel. It is the most out of date FL ride anywhere and could use a complete rebuild inside and out.
- Cinderella does look like some kind of theater show.
- I would not be surprised to see Aurora be a copy of the new SB walkthru at DL. I would also figure that Belle will also be a walkthru in a similar style. Hopefully they are walkthrus rather than glorified M&G queues.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Especially on Pan and those little walk-throughs. Interesting on the additional meet and greets.

- Did anyone else notice the new utilidor tunnel they show running from Cinderella to backstage!?

That path with the four circles? It sure looks like a Guest walkway.

- TLM does look smaller than I had imagined.

Meh, it's big enough to be considered a major attraction. Did anyone noticed the title say Voyage of the Little Mermaid?
Does this mean the end of the show at DHS or a name change?

- I would have to figure that WDI plans to rebuild the Magic Carpets as one of the new Dumbos. It would surely be cheaper than a whole new structure and would free up the AL congestion that MC's installation caused. I wonder if the new Dumbos will have 4-person vehicles, like MC, or 2-person like the original.

Yes, cost-efficient and will improve Guest flow, but AL still lacks such a number of attractions.
MC's more of a filler that probably won't be moved at all, IMO.

- I am shocked that they would get rid of Mickey's house. Maybe after FL's refurbishment we'll see an small indoor Toontown appear where the Walt Disney story once was.

That is something I am quite shocked as well. I really hope that Toontown would expand over the Railroad for the expanded Barnstormer.
It's sad to see the Fab Five's only M&G in MK removed.

- No matter what the final product is, FL will finally be a beautiful land rather than an ugly mess and for that I am very happy.

Very, very true. It really does sound promising. Best of luck that it will happen before I graduate before college.

Last I checked, you can't stop the signal...
:shrug:

Hah!
"Can't stop the signal, Mal."

Sorry....couldn't resist....

The pooh area is outside of the new castle area.

With getting rid of the princesses and fairies in TTF they are definitely going to be in this new FL, it only makes sense. Seems wierd to me to theme the barnstormer to SW when her dark ride is close, but not quite close enough to make sense. I guess the mine was far away from the dwarvbe cottage but it still seems wierd, also it is still labeled barnstormer on the plans, It seems like might havehad a different name if it being changed was part of this development

Cinderella to me looks like a stage show area.

 

[EPCOTPluto]

It already is... :lookaroun

What do you mean?

 

[Horizonsfan]

That path with the four circles? It sure looks like a Guest walkway.

No, look north, just north of the west Cinderella exit. There are light grey dotted lines that run from that building west to backstage. I don't know what the correct term for that would be because it is a tunnel (like the utilidors) but there's no indication of anything else below guest level.

 

[Figment632]

Anyone know what Tritons Treasure is supposed to be?

 

[Disneydad75]

I agree, there are three specific Meet & Greets: Pooh, Ariel, and Fairies.
Both Belle and Cinderella appear to be something different.
Cinderella Attraction seems to be an approxametly 160x50 foot building with 2- 18 foot stages...

Also looking at it the Pooh Playful Spot is gone with only his tree and Meet & Greet remaining. (the rest of the play area is take up by the Cinderella area entryway.

I agree, and they would add weight to the stage show idea.

 

[MousDad]

Forgive me if someone's mentioned this already, but has anyone noticed that the title of the Mermaid attraction on the drawing is "Voyage of the Mermaid Attraction" and not "The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure"?

Oh! Yes, it does look like an underground tunnel. Sorry. :brick:

From the name, it sounds like a shop.

Yes, I did notice this as well. Wonder what it mean for the show at DHS? New name?

 

[Horizonsfan]

It's very perplexing though as those aren't, by any stretch of the imagination, medium to large size theaters so, what kind of show would go on there? If it were some kind of screen attraction (a LCI show) it wouldn't neccessitate stages.... so what is it?:shrug:

 

[krankenstein]

What do you mean?

You said, maybe it'll be a kiddie coaser. It already is a kiddie coaster.

 

[Horizonsfan]

Oh! Yes, it does look like an underground tunnel. Sorry. :brick:

No problem. It took me quite a few looks before I even noticed it.

Yes, I did notice this as well. Wonder what it mean for the show at DHS? New name?

The show has been there since Jan 1992 and wasn't ever intended to last as long as it has (that seems to happen a lot at WDW) and I think it's long past time for retirement.

 

[HDS]

Wow, these plans overlay 100% in Google Earth.

Clearly it's a version of the Candy Mountain attraction re-named: Cheese Coaster

Alright guys, spill it...

They have to be meet and greets. What it looks like is there will be multiple Belle's, multiple Aurora's, and multiple Cinderella's much like the set up in Mickey's House.

Where do the castle walls extend. I'm not completely understanding this. Also what are the morse code boundries?

Those now appear to me to be backstage areas. The stage is on the castle side surrounded by an amphitheater. There is also what appears to be a minor attraction on the north of the building along that pathway.

I'm 99% sure we are looking at a stage.

 

[GoofMasterHookX]

I believe that the dotted boundaries have to do with construction zoning more than the actual land.

Also the castle wall looks like it runs from the north boundary of the village haus where the bathrooms are now to about where the seven dwarf shop is. It appears to be rather fragmented with multiple walkways through it.

 

[Disneydad75]

The castle wall is down in the current area of Dumbo, and appears to be the entry area to the Princess subset of FL.

The dotted lines just show the breakdown of each area.

Look again, there is clearly a queue set up on the right side out side, then there is the inside room which leads into two separate rooms for two separate cindy's. then there are exit paths coming out of each room at both sides of the building.
