Official Fantasyland Expansion Q & A (Mickey gets evicted) PART II

[Berlioz70]

Has anyone heard if they will have fastpass for Ariel's meet & greet?

I expect FP for Belle, Ariel, Pete's Silly Sideshow, and Fairytale Hall - in addition to new Character FPs opening up at the other parks as well!

As PP said, it may not happen immediately, but will likely be sooner rather than later.

With Ariel appearing as she is right now, it would need to be at the end of the movie. She has legs, is with Eric and she can talk. I overanalyze too.

You're right - Character portrayals are mid movie.

Villains are still alive
Beast in beast form, enchanted objects remain enchanted
Ariel in fin
Rapunzel with long hair
Aladdin as Street Rat
Jafar in Human Form
Bert/Poppins in Jolly Holiday
Hubert/Hamish/Harris in Bear Form
Mulan in Match Maker


Tiana is a rare appearance of the end story

Those are just the ones I can think of at the top of my head.

So far, no one really knows the FP character situation, but here's my best guess.

Mickey Mouse: Town Square Theater - FASTPASS Available
Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Daisy: Pete's Silly Sideshow - FASTPASS Unknown (I think it'll be available; installed after it opens)
Cinderella, Auora, Snow White, Tiana (maybe): Princess Fairytale Hall - FASTPASS Unknown (99% sure it will offer it when it opens)
Rapunzel: Former Skyway Station - FASTPASS Unknown (I don't expect this to offer it)
Belle, Beast: Near Belle's Cottage - FASTPASS Unknown (doubt this will offer it)
Ariel, Prince Eric: Near Journey of the Little Mermaid - FASTPASS Unknown (doubt this will offer it)

These are all associated with New Fantasyland. I don't believe any except the Fairytale Hall will offer FP when it opens but I think Pete's may, too, offer FASTPASS. For more information, visit the following links.

As you can see, the concept art for PSS does not show a FP queue. Regarding Mickey at the Town Square Theater, I think those CMs were incorrect, as Disney has constantly referred to this as "Mickey's permanent home."

By the way (unrelated), I've heard Disney plans on installing FP on the Epcot Character Spot in early 2013.

Funny though how it ususally ends up in the part of the movie where she has on her prettiest dress.

And how fortunate for a certain very talented gown designer and crazed disney fan that we all know and admire

What about the current M&G on main street for Mickie and Minnie and the Princesses. They have had FP ever since they moved from Toon Town.

Reportedly, Fairytale Hall (the new Princess meet and greet, formerly the Snow White Ride) will have fast pass, too.

I think, as part of the heavily rumored next incarnation of Fastpass...we'll be seeing a lot more Meet and Greets (the ones they do inside, at least) with Fastpasses.

I agree. Adding more FP capacity of some sort (including meet & greets, parades, fireworks and attractions that previously had no FP) is the only way they can get enough capacity to make that system successful.

The PP's report of FPs going away for the few M&Gs that currently have it is almost certainly a short-term change at worst.

I suspect that's part of the shuffling around AND prepping the new system.

I bet most of the new INTERIOR ones have FP machines...they just might not be "turned on" until some later date.

Not sure if this has been posted as yet, amazing.......

^^^ I just saw this. It's FANTASTIC!

And as a bonus, it answers my question about where we'd find Belle in her yellow gown if she leaves TST.

I'm more excited than ever!

I loved it!!!!!
& was surprised to see her in her ballgown, I was expecting the blue dress, but I love it!!!!

Another awesome video of that attraction!

My kids are going to flip out....

 

[jade1]

Impressive, these types of attractions look very low volume so indeed FP would be necessary IMO.

If they get XPASS, I can see many folks reserving this as one of the choices before most or all others-esp with small kids.

It looks similar in size to the exterior one they used to do (that then was morphed into a Rapunzel M&G and, I think, has changed again). Maybe slightly bigger.

The question is: Are there multiple incarnations of "the library". I think, from watching the video, there might be two. There seems to be identical doors to the left and right of the wardrobe.

That would seriously increase throughput.

Similar to the new Mickey meet and greet?

For that matter, is there anything that's stopping them from having more than one Belle? That would speed things up. I'm pretty sure this is how some mall Santas do it.

 

[dawnmichele]

The new Belle story time looks fantastic! I love of the details and can't wait to be there and soak it all in.

I wonder how it will be during low crowd times if there are only a few people in the audience? That probably won't happen for years though - and certainly won't be the case during our trip there this December (6-13)!

 

[hollygolitely93]

I'm torn...do I want to see the link or wait and be surprised early December...what to do...what to do...

I would guess if there are two doors and two libraries..there's probably 2 Belles.
It's hard to tell if I'm seeing it right. The double doors on the right, they show a couple of times.

The door(s?) to the left of the wardrobe...they don't focus on as much. Could just be the CM entrance into the "greeting" area..or it could be another double door entrance to another version of the library. There aren't any clear shots to be sure. I actually think it's the door BEHIND Chris Kelly when she's doing her part of the interviews. The best glimpse of the actual door is at the 1:21 mark of the video posted...focus is on the wardrobe, but you can see a door on the left of the screen...it looks to be open.
