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

[PoohsFan1]

We will be there from 8/28-9/9 and I am so excited to see that more things will be opening up before we get there. I am going to keep watching this thread since my trip is coming up, and I don't want to miss a single detail....I am so excited . The new Casey's water area looks so cute BTW .

Some fantastic new photos:

Fantasyland Expansion: A Gloomy Day (PART 1)

They were posted today (4/24), but parts of Storybook are old, so I'm not sure when they were actually taken.

Wonderful pictures, thanks!

Can't wait to see the changes in a few weeks time!
Soon, very soon, and I will see it with my own eyes!

What is this "rumored Tangled area"??? I haven't seen anything related to that elsewhere.

Any thing you hear is just a guest from the fan sites so plan accordingly.

This would be awesome if the second dumbo were up by May 15th!! Also the splash area and Merida. That is not asking too much, is it???

If they build Rapunzel an actual tower, they will have to make her one really long wig! Because of course, to keep up appearances, her hair will have to reach the ground. That'd be pretty neat. Guess they'll need a fence around the bottom so no one tries to climb up her hair.

There have been murmurs throughout other on-line forums... but I have not seen any "legitimate" source post any solid info (nor has there been much CM discussion on the topic). The expectation at the moment is that Rapunzel will end up in the Fairytale Hall.

The most reliable dates I've heard are late Oct/early Nov. You should be good... unless it's delayed.

Can't believe I might be the first one to notice this but there is a great video/artcle at **************.net about a media tour TODAY! in New Fantasyland.

I am sorry I do not know how to post the link but I'm sure someone will.

There are some great new details there!

Second Dumbo (and I assume the queue) and Casey Jr: July 2012
BatB and LM: open by the "holiday season"
Mine Ride: 2014

Oh, if only they could be a little more clear about what before "holiday season" means... before Halloween? Before Thanksgiving? Before Labor Day?

::sigh::

I was so excited when I saw that tweet and then I was so deflated..... Disney...."holiday season" isn't a DATE!!!!!

How frustrated! I tweeted them back.

It is really frustrating. It's mean to say that you're giving a date and then not telling us anything more than what we were already guessing.

July for the second dumbo? boo

 

[twinklebug]

LM and B&B sections for 'Holiday season' meaning Thanksgiving? Would be nice - but am afraid to imagine the crowds.
