Will bog and lm be open for week of thanksgiving

Nobody knows for certain. It was announced they would be open "holidays 2012" which sounds like Thanksgiving. But I think that was purposely vague in case of delays. Stay tuned.

I am still hoping it means Halloween! Ok, I might be living in my onw fantasyland now!

LOL! Maybe you'll hit a soft opening. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

They were testing the second Dumbo when I was there last week (May 21.) I was so happy to catch it! You can see one of the Dumbo's needed a nose job, lol

It sounds like it might be. Since other venues exist already for princesses I suppose there's no huge hurry.

I noticed the article said that Snow could be met at Town Square Theatre, which is not the case at present most of the time. I wonder if this is an error or a planned change, maybe timed to happen when Belle gets her own spot late this year and presumably moves out of TST.

We met Snow White at TST last October...

I am still hoping it means Halloween! Ok, I might be living in my onw fantasyland now!

If you're in your own Fantasyland with hopes that Halloween means "holidays 2012" - then where am I, hoping that Labor Day means "holidays 2012"

I try to always leave wiggle room, hence my "most of the time". I have heard similar reports to yours, but they are very few and far between.

By the way, was this during a MNSSHP? She does appear there with her prince for the parties, but almost never during regular park hours.

Regular park hours, the photopass photographer told us that Snow White had just swapped out with Cinderella. Just looked back at the pictures, Belle and Aurora were in their regular spots.

That looks promising We will be there at the end of June, and I was hoping maybe the whole Dumbo area would open a little sooner than their early July projection

So what exactly are they doing to IASW? and when will they be done?

So what exactly are they doing to IASW? and when will they be done?

I wondered that too because the fascade is just a plain tan 'tarp.' Hopefully that means they're doing something minor/fast and that's why they didn't put much effort into having a nice one that looks like the attraction?

Where did you read anything about Small World?

Its not part of the expansion and I hadn't heard anything about any refurbs.

Or are you referring to Snow Whites Scary Adventures? They are turning it into the Princess M&G that was originally part of the expansion. think its slated to be done beginning of next year.

Just fixing the facade. Don't know when it will be done.

Also, I think I read this morning that they've pushed the Princess M&G back to the END of 2013

Awesome update! I see they referred to that area by the Skyway as a Tangled meet area. Does that mean we have confirmation of that now? Any word on a timeline and whether we can assume they wouldn't go to all that trouble and NOT include Flynn????

I'm not sure that means anything. That massive ugle tarp on the Main Street Bakery started as just a plain tan tarp too. And it's been there since January.

Regular park hours, the photopass photographer told us that Snow White had just swapped out with Cinderella. Just looked back at the pictures, Belle and Aurora were in their regular spots.

I agree that is highly unusual. Not just that Snow White was in that location, but that Cinderella was not. She must have needed to make dinner for her stepsisters, but I bet she was back fairly soon.

Doh! Thanks for the info! I'm really hoping that ugly bakery one is gone by the end of June. I know.....progress....blah blah! It's still ugly!

Agree!!!!!!!!!!!
So..... it's STILL THERE!!???!! OMG!
It was there when I was there in February and SO UGLY!! and it blocked half the castle view!! I can't imagine trying to view the July 4th fireworks from Main Street with that ugly thing blocking most people's views!!!

This is what bothers me about it. We've been there before with the fascades all over the place, and it never really bothered us, but this is different because it's blocking the view! I'm a little reassured to know it's been up since Jan, so maybe it'll be down by the time we go!
