New Fantasyland Overhead Maps

[glitzybabes]

We found the fastest way was to the right and cut around the lake through Seuss Landing, skirting the lake as close as you can, and then it is pretty much a straight shot from there.

Thanks.

will there be another entrance to the right? maybe over by the racetrack or Tea Cups?
It would be nice if there was a way to get from the train station to the rest of the park.... like Tomorrowland.... without having to walk all the way around Fantasyland and through the castle.

There's always been a nice path there. Do we have reason to believe it won't re-open?

The Tomorrowland path is open.

The Tomorrowland path is open.

Yep.

Great little walkway that not many people either use or know about.

Unfortunately Robo's image was outdated the moment it was posted. Much progress on FLE has been made since that image was taken. Based on the 411 I've read, that appears to be from earlier this year...perhaps Januaryish. Google images are weeks if not months behind. Both paths (Teacups/Raceway and Tomorrowland) are open, as has been documented in several photo journals on WDWNT, ITM, etc. sites.

Yes, but it's probably among the best available. I'm thinking Robo won't use this map as the be-all-end-all map of FLE for long, and will update it as newer images show up. Just guessing here.

Yup.

It was not my intention to post the latest image.
The purpose of the map is to show the layout (where things are) in the
new Fantasyland.
Unfortunately, that Satellite image is the newest available.

I generally use satellite images as a map-base, as they are far more accurate in showing relative size and the actual position of attraction locations.

I do have in place the basic Photoshop layout to build a "finished product" map
(and interim maps) as soon as those images come on-line.

BTW, I didn't take the DISHoppy comment as being critical of the map, itself...
just a statement of fact about the relative age of the base image.
(About which I agree.)

Robo needs a personal satellite for map images. Perhaps in a geosynch orbit above WDW.

I'm applying for a government grant, even as we speak.

 

[mlittig]

And if you do get that grant, Robo, at least it will be the first time my tax money will be used wisely

Maybe you can include a couple of extra dollars in a special slush fund to fix the Yeti. Might make for a good news story.

I'm sorry to report, THAT would likely take another full-scale government BAILOUT.

Hey, that brings to mind something I haven't read lately....has the Yeti been fixed yet? :runs:

I've heard there is going to be an update about the Yeti in the Orlando Sentinel on Sunday.

We can only dream..... LOL

These maps are a super-duper update to the Fantasyland project. Thanks, Robo. You are really paying attention. This represented a great amount of research on your part. We really appreciate these maps.

 

[mnmrmustard]

Thank you very much for all of the research and the details Robo - you rock!

I took the liberty of joining your research to the newer hi-res artist rendering of the expansion. I hope you don't mind. If I have anything marked incorrectly please let me know and I'll update the image.

I won't post the actual image due to size, but here is a link:
