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

[amandaw]

From the looks of the video one the Disney blog, it looks closer to completion than I expected it to be! Hoping for late August!

I agree....there's more done that I was expecting! We were supposed to be going in December but moved our trip up to the end of Sept./beginning of October. I'm really, really hoping that this restaurant will be open!

It's being reported on Twitter that the walls are down at the Fantastland train station so you can see right into Storybook Circus! Still waiting for pictures.

Will anything fill the space where the old dumbo was?

I believe I read the castle wall will extend through that spot.

I believe I read the castle wall will extend through that spot.

Yep, the area where Dumbo was will become the main entrance to the Fantasyland Forest.

Been seeing more rumors that the Storybook Circus area will open on Monday with soft opening of Goffini and Dumbo. Official opening is still March 31st.

If there were to be a soft opening this week, my family would be ecstatic DS actually cried two nights ago when I read that Dumbo would not be open for our trip. Fingers crossed for us to ride Dumbo during this trip!!!

TouringPlans.com tweeted that Dumbo is open today, March 12, 2012:

I'm so excited! Glad that people that are there this week get to ride. I wonder if Goofy and the train will open too.

 

[BebopBaloo]

I'm seeing reports on Twitter that Goofini is having a soft opening, as well!

I am so excited for photos/video of the area to come out - I can't wait to see how everything looks!

Edit - the train station is also opened! And they've added Storybook Circus to the maps:
