What to put in place of old dumbo?

[DisneyBeatles]

I was just wondering what they might put in the location of where the old Dumbo was. Maybe a new fountain or some flowers or a statue? I'm just wondering. Don't think it'd look great with a giant thing of concrete .

Probably a monument that says "former Dumbo site" and the monument is the same size and shape as Dumbo was

Actually, they have pretty clearly already illustrated what will go there -- rocks and a few trees landscaping, leading to a path into the newer FLE area....

I was going to post the same thing after looking at the concept art from the beginning. If they stay true to the concept artwork rendering, it looks like they will turn this area into the other castle wall that still needs to be built, along with rocks and trees! I just hope they put some type of barrier from this new wall towards they tea cups so that the castle wall entrances are the major entrance for the forest area! Otherwise, it will seem that the wall is sitting in the open!

The castle wall separating the current Fantasyland from "Fantasyland Forrest" (The Expansion) is going to cut right across where Dumbo used to be as seen here:

That would be awesome! Then as a tribute the thing spins around as well, and you can even ride on the dumbo's if you wish!

~ Wish Disney would have a sense of humor ~

I'm sure this has been discussed before and I probably just missed it but what else is going to be included in the Storybook Circus section of the FLE expansion other than Dumbo, the new que and the Great Goofini? I was just looking at the concept and never really noticed how much more additional space there was in that particular section of the FLE. Thanks:wave:

Casey Jr Water Play area in front of the train station. Retail space in the large tent, meet and great (Pete's Silly Side Show) in the small tent. The concept art and model also show a third small tent all the way at the back of the area. Not clear yet what is going to be in there.

My vote goes for a pin trading kiosk and a DVC booth.

I believe there's also a chance for a Cheshire Cafe-type counter service with beverages and some circus related snacks, like popcorn, cotton candy, etc. (Pure speculation on my part).

There orignally was a plan to put a Casey Jr food service area next to Dumbo. It was in the early concept art, but not the model that was shown at D23. There also doesn't appear to be enough room now anyway. It's interesting to note that in the Storybook Circus sign, Humphrey is shown holding what appears to be a carmel apple. I wonder if that character will tie in with a future food service locaiton.

That mysterious third tent is probably for food. Nobody has noticed that there is no food in storybook Circus. Disney always has food near a bathroom. I always thought that Toontown missed opertunities when it came to food. that little koisk could have been much more. The other thing that leads me to think that is the parents could eat while their kids go nuts in the play area. the closest QS would be Chesire cafe, Gastons, & Cosmic Rays

Imagine: "Mom, I am done eating, can I play in the water area whle you are still resting....."

food carts only go so far....

 

[jumblue]

I'm surprised they went with Humphrey, instead of Bongo. Though Bongo did run away from the circus...

A themed restaurant would be good. Preferably in the mode of the BatB where it could be counter service by day and table service by night. But it should have lower price points for the more financially challanged guests. And there is room if they move that building behind the tents.

 

[RSoxNo1]

I'm guessing that if a substantial restaurant was going to Storybook Circus we would know about it by now.

Actually the old Minute Maid "Enchanted Grove" already became Chesire Cafe and now has a new paint job and signage.

If you check photo 6 from Scott's latest aerial photos, You can see the foundation for the castle wall is mapped out. I'm sure it will be coming together pretty quickly now.

 

[Prototype82]

Because story establishes it as the castle's courtyard, I'd love to see a large fountain built in the middle. Not in the plans though.
