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

[Berlioz70]

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????

No confirmation yet. And outside of a couple loose internet references, I haven't heard anything concrete that it will actually be Tangled themed area. Until I hear more reliable sources report the same rumor, I'm assuming it's not real.

You know....

Looking at the new Dumbo, I just finally realized something that seems to be missing that i think I'm finding is bugging me more than anything else about this project (surprisingly).

Timothy Q. Mouse!

Ever since the Park opened, Timothy has always had a place in the Dumbo Attraction.... Even if it did change slightly between the original spinner and the "new and improved" spinner installed a while back. Now he doesn't appear to have a place on either spinner.

i'm actually kinda hoping that he has a place inside the tent/queue area once it opens so he isn't completely forgotten.

 

[Berlioz70]

I had the same thought... my hope is that they removed from the spinner because they couldn't have 2 Timothys, but they must have plans for him elsewhere.

God forbid they have 2 Timothy's to go with their 32 Dumbos!

I honestly don't mind the new spinner tops and designs. They look good. I just hope Timothy isn't forgotten completely and still giving a prime spot in the attraction. I actually think the tent might be a better spot for him anyways since he'll still be able to be in the center of the action.

For what its worth, I had heard/read somewhere that the queue will provide the Timothy aspect you're looking for. Evidently the restaurant style pager they give you to wait for your turn in the queue will be using Timothy's voice to let you know it's your turn.

Isn't it Timmy's voice on the PA telling people the safety rules as the ride starts and stops?

I have heard from some pretty reliable sources on another board that the area will be Tangled themed. Someone did this nicely colorized version of the plans for the area that have been floating around for a while. The little circular area behind the men's room where the water starts is believed to be Runpuzel's tower.

I have no idea how valid this plan is, but I have to say--me likey.

Me too

If they do have this area, it would be nice if you had to go through a little opening in the rocks to get there, but I can't see disney building in a bottleneck...

This might work if they used the rock opening as the entry to the line, kind of like what they had in the old Toon Town tent, maybe?

Oh wow - I hadn't seen that. I have to admit, that's more concrete than anything else I had read on-line. But I've also heard plans for Rapunzel that are related to the Fairytale Hall, so now I don't know what to believe.

LOL!

Oh well, knowing Disney, it'll change 10 times before anything opens anyway. Has anyone heard any estimates on when the new restrooms are supposed to open?

 

[bjakmom]

Ooooh!! LOVE it!! The tower would look so awesome there!
I did see some bridge frames in one of the construction photos, so that would fit with the little bridge depicted and water running under it from (supposed) tower to CHH.

Sometime later this year, maybe around the time Phase 3 opens.

We should know pretty soon if the plans are accurate, we should start seeing the foundations go in soon.

It's possible that Tangled may be represented in both locations. As you can see from the plan there is no dedicated meet and greet area, although they may be able to do something informal in the area in front of the restrooms.

For those worried about Timothy Mouse's departure from the spinner top, worry no more......

Awwww, I love it! So excited to see Timothy!

 

[Berlioz70]

Hooray!

I hate to burst everyones balloon, but I think that is a photoshopped pic, Damouse just posted a new update and timothy is not there, infact that whole sign is not there.

Shame shame who posted that picture, if it was a joke, mind you I have read a few posts both there and WDWMagic forums, and let me just say, they lack the Disney Spirit that we have here at the disboards, quite a few very negative posters on those boards compared to here!!!!!!!

Here is the link for Damouse
