What is going in the Circusland tents?

[Gregoryp73]

Merchandise and Meet and Greet.
Wish I could say there was more...:shrug:

This actually makes sense because of the location past the train station. It pushes Stroller traffic back to the corner and opens up the main walkways.

I kinda wish they would have incorporated more pinocchio into Story book circus...Maybe his dealings with Stomboli. I guess that would be a little dark for some...

For those who haven't seen it, you should watch the interview that Ricky Brigante conducted during last year's D23 Expo with Scott Mallwitz, the "overall concept architect" for the Fantasyland Expansion:

At the 2:34 mark Scott explains what Pete's Silly Sideshow and Big Top Souveniers are, and even mentions one of the characters we might see in the sideshow, The Great Donaldo.

sooooo what was he saying about Pook and the Hundred acre woods. he made it seem like it was part of the new fantastyland.

My feeling is that the only reason they ARE'NT talking about it much is because it IS just another M&G and merch location...would be nice to have more but my guess is just a little different theming inside, coat of paint and remove princesses and fairies and add a couple other characters in circus attire.. i'm not complaining though because thats what we have read all along. If something different it will just be a pleasant surprise then...

Exactly!

It sounds like they consider the upgrade of the Pooh queue and moving the tree from Pooh's Playful Spot to be part of the overall Fantasyland expansion.

Probably....

Maybe...

And how neat would these guys be in audioanimatronics on a shelf or something so they can interact with the guests?
