I think they gave Belle too much room, and I don't understand why they would waste space on a direct-to-DVD group of characters like the pixies. Maybe, since that sounds like it's going to be a later add-on, they will give up the pixies like a bad job and use the area for the Frog Princess instead.
Little bit OT, but I think Universal may end up trying to steal some of Disney's thunder over their Fantasyland expansion. I follow one Harry Potter website, and the webmistress tweeted today that's she's on her way to Orlando for the press junket on the opening of Harry Potter land at IOA. Seems like announcements on opening dates, pricing, etc. are imminent. Or, maybe that's just me hoping!
1 - Be Our Guest will be full service table style restaurant with animatronics's and set pieces and Gaston's Tavern will be a more casual (think Pecos Bill's) style hangout servicing Turkey legs, and that sort of thing
2 - Both Dumbo's will be outside just as the single one is now - but the queue area will be ina bog top and will form part of a new line system in which parents can sit and watch their kids play and be entertained until your 'feather' is called to go outside to ride Dumbo
A tad backwards, actually. This was originally "leaked" a couple of months ago (likely in response to the pressure Disney is feeling from WWHP), but this official announcement was directly in response to UO's previously announced press conference on WWHP scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 15th. This is Disney's attempt to steal some of their thunder, but I think what you'll hear Tuesday will probably dwarf this for all but the most ardent Disney fans.
BTW, I'm really looking forward to this if it actually happens. Time will tell.
Your post has completely confused me?
what are we anticipating hearing about on Tuesday?
Is this 'new' news coming from Disney or someone else? Any idea what the new news in going to be about?

I am gonna cry! All my son can talk about is going to mickeys house, and they are gonna tear it down.
Will it still be there in early feb of 2010? Is there a date of then this will close?

Why? I'm a huge fan of both Disney & Harry Potter, but IMO Universal will never be Disney. Yes, it's exciting, but so are the Disney projects. I think the competition is a good thing that will actually help both parks, although Disney doesn't really need any help, whereas Universal definitely does. I'll for sure visit Universal to see it, but I can't see it being somewhere I'd spend days at a time, several times a year.
I just found out about this and it looks so cool! My one little itty bitty thing is I hope there is more than one main entrance in or out to this area. If not it's going to be a pain in the butt getting in or leaving!
