Here is a great video, this person has no quams about peaking over the wall, so you see some really nice shots of landscaping around the big tents. It also shows a fairly significant drop right behind the walls near the mine train, if the people walking on the other side only knew. Finally it is a really good indication of how fast progress can occur. If you notice that on the 22nd there was no staging or trees on the mountains by the Beast's castle or the wall was not exposed on the way to dumbo, but on the 23rd they were.

VERY interesting. It's hard to get a true idea of the scope of the changes without seeing videos like this or actually being there. Thanks for posting.

Well, from what I can tell, the new gowns aren't supposed to make their debut until late 2013 when Fairytale Hall opens. And isn't a soft open supposed to be to train the new staff? Maybe I'm just over-simplifying.

What is Fairytale Hall? We are going in May and I was thinking all of new Fantasyland would be up and running with the exception of the Mine Train. Is that wrong?

Fairytale hall is the new Princess Meet and Greet scheduled to open fall 2013 - check the first post for the current timeline, photos, and an overview of the hall.

Any word on whether Little Mermaid Ride is going to have FP?

That is awesome to hear and it makes sense since we are guests in his castle . Too bad that the next time we will be in WDW won't be until 2014.

Let's hope they keep him away from the alcohol at least.

That makes me very happy. I was hoping but it's nice to see confirmation coming out. And I'm so glad to have already purchased PP+.

But maybe he's part of that rare breed that's nicer after a couple drinks.

Maybe he won't force you to eat after drinking!

Yippee!!!!

Does anyone know if the Photopass photographers will use your own camera for pictures with characters at restaurants? Like BOG, Tusker House with Donald, etc. I guess anywhere the picture is not included with the meal.

Yes, they have no problem using your camera to take a picture with the characters at the restaurants.
