Disney announces full updated FLE roster!

[Figment632]

I found this list of additions on the official Disney site. Interesting that they name the Casey Jr Roundhouse water play area nd the Scuttle's Scavenger Hunt that we heard about being tested at the Living Seas (http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions/...pcot-today.htm).

Storybook Circus
The sound of the calliope will lead you to the brand new carousels of airborne pachyderms on Dumbo the Flying Elephant—now with 2 Dumbos! Before taking to the skies on this Fantasyland favorite, experience an array of fun-filled family games and interactive wonders for kids of all ages inside the Big Top.

Barnstormer
Hosted by the Great Goofini, this daredevil roller coaster, which twists and turns high above the Storybook Circus grounds, is getting a bright new look.

Casey Jr. Roundhouse
Adjacent to the Fantasyland Train Station is the Casey Jr. Roundhouse, a circus-themed immersive water play area that's fun for the little ones. They'll splish and splash as Casey Jr. billows off cool steam and water squirts from playful monkeys, elephants and camels.

Under the Sea: Journey of The Little Mermaid
Make a splash with Ariel as you take a voyage in a clamshell into a world of imagination under the sea. This attraction features her friends Sebastian and King Triton and, of course, music from the Walt Disney Pictures film.

Scuttle's Scavenger Hunt
While approaching Ariel's Grotto to meet The Little Mermaid, join Scuttle for this fun, interactive game! Search the seaside entrance way to find the seagull's treasures from the Human World, like a dinglehopper or a bulbous snarfblatt. Scuttle will be on hand to help with the hunt.

Enchanted Tales with Belle
In Maurice's workshop, a magical mirror is your doorway to a captivating storytelling experience. Transport to the Beast's library to meet Belle and Lumiere, and share in a lively, interactive re-telling of the "tale as old as time."

Be Our Guest Restaurant
Experience the elegant ballroom, gallery and mysterious West Wing of the Beast's castle. With seating for 550, this magnificent dining hall will offer great quick-service meals by day and full table-service dining in the evening. Nearby in Belle's Village, discover the rousing Gaston's Tavern and Bonjour!

Princess Fairytale Hall
Greet Aurora, Cinderella and Tiana and in their new home, an elegant royal court fit for every princess.

The Seven Dwarfs' Mine Train
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, off to work you go! Take a rollicking, musical ride through the Seven Dwarfs mine—where a million diamonds shine. This roller coaster features a first-of-its-kind train that responds to every twist and turn of the track . The journey will be accompanied by music from Walt Disney's animated classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Haven't heard about this yet.

But they still haven't told us what is going to be in those tents they left from toon town fair. And I think the artwork showed another tent as well. I know there will be games, etc in the Dumbo area so probably wouldn't repeat that. Meet and greets? Store? Food? Wonder if they still haven't finalized this area.

The planschanged there are now just the two original TTF tents and they will be stores.

Sounds like some of the same type of "interactive queue" they added with the Pooh refurb.

On the whole, I'm glad to see the rumors confirmed, so we no longer have to speculate. Of course, all such pronouncements are still subject to change, but once main construction begins, there's little room to back out.

Well they started construction on Storybook Circus and axed the third tent.

that doesnt exactly sound more thrilling than BTM like someone claimed it would be!

Sounds more like a cross between peter pan and cat in the hat (like i expected it to be!)

Not are what you are talking about I never it would be mir thrilling than BTM??? I said on between Barnstormer and BTM. More thrills than Barnstormer less than BTM.

I also said it would be slower like a dark ride in certain areas.

So I'm not sure what you are saying?

true... but you also described it as "medium thrills".

Medium as in between the two Meh it will be a nice little Dticket.

Exactly just how "rousing" can Gaston's Tavern be when it will be DRY??

"Hey Grannie!! Can I get you another sassparilla??"

Exactly it's ridiculos to have a Tavern that only serves coke. Walt didn't want booze in DL. MK is not DL start searving booze. They would honestly make a lot more money if they did.

When was it confirmed by TDO or anyone trustworthy from Disney (not a bus driver) that it would be dry???

Did I miss it?

I don't think you "missed" it. But that would be like trying to prove a negative. Since the MK has always had a no alcohol policy, it would be odd indeed for any source to publish, or "confirm" that which already exists as policy. You would only see a press release or announcement if there was going to be a change to existing policy. Companies don't make announcements that confrirm the continuation of existing policy. So the absence of an announcement of a new policy is reason to believe that the old policy will remain in place. Until someone states otherwise, it is fair to conclude that Gaston's Tavern will serve exactly the same amount of ale as the Liberty Tree Tavern and the (former) Mile Long Bar.

MK has always had "taverns", none of which served alcohol

And it's never made sense to me, either. Especially Liberty Tree Tavern. How could a colonial-style tavern not have ale? Beer helped foment our revolution, after all...

 

[Monorail Fan:)]

It would be neat if Gaston's Tavern had its own signature drink similar to how Butterbeer is at the Three Broomsticks at Uni.

I like the changes and additions...except for the barnstormer...that's budget...

But i don't like the reality of what this project will end up being in the end:

and that is it will be all that is done as far as capital reinvestment for 5 years at the largest disney property with 4 theme parks that serves the largest group of consumers by a landslide.

That's what it will be...the entire 2009-2013 capital investment budget in the parks.
And that isn't good enough...not with the realities of what studios and animal kingdom are.

the consumer should demand more.

You may be surprised. In DCA they are retheming thier off the shelf wild mouse coaster into.....Goofy's Sky School. The story of GSS is that Goofy decided to train pilots on his chicken farm. While many people hoped that whole coaster would go with the parks big retheming, as elements of it's redesign appeared, people found they are real happy with it's new look.

Tortuga Tavern and LTT don't swerve alcohol why would this.

I know and I find this ridiculous. It would be one thing if the other three parks didn't serve booze but they do.
