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

[pilferk]

Similar to the new Mickey meet and greet?

Possibly.

It's just so hard to tell from the glimpses they give you of the second door (set of doors).

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

I'm avoiding updates now that details are emerging. I hope to go in November and want it to be fresh.

 

[pilferk]

OK..Zapruder film like analysis now and then I'd like opinions:

At 1:28, you see a set of double doors (the set that's off to the right of the wardrobe). At the top of each door is a black "retractor".

At 1:23, you see Chris Kelly doing an interview segment. I'm 99% sure that those are the set of doors to the left of the wardrobe, behind her. You can tell by the trim orientation. You can CLEARLY see another of those black "retractors" on the door over her left shoulder (top center of the screen), attaching to the right side of the doorframe.

At 1:21..when you can somewhat clearly see the doorway to the left of the wardrobe. One of the doors is open, but you can clearly (ok, somewhat clearly) see another "retractor" attached to the open door AND THE LEFT SIDE of the door frame.

That, to me, indicates there is a set of double doors there...which, to me, would indicate another version of the library is behind it. Because there's no other reason to put in those "auto-open" theater type double doors that I can think of.

What do you all think (besides the fact I'm a crazy person who's way over-analyzing the film)?

OK I don't see the big aha. They can kind of do two shows at a time.

But it must be tough for Belle she doesn't get a break having to run between two rooms.

I dare you or do you want to be surprised on the theming of the new restrooms.

New Fantasyland restroom area construction

For that one, I dared.

Exterior construction photos are one thing. Videos of interior spaces or of the attraction experiences themselves are another for me.

And of course, there's usually not much to see once inside a restroom. Seen one, pretty much seen them all.

Aw...construction photos don't count

I have the spine of a jellyfish. I will continue to open and view all available video footage!

The big aha isn't "can they". They've done similar things before.

The big aha is "are they".

If they are (because they haven't and probably won't say either way) it massively effects how crowded the attraction will be, how long you can expect to wait, and how much throughput there is on the attraction. This would be the first indication they're doing two shows, likely somewhat concurrently. I'd qualify that as "news".

 

[pilferk]

Now if we can just get pilferk to stop going into Zapruder-like detail....

I actually AM trying to be somewhat vague about the overall content...and still get the point across.

Enchanted Tales with Belle looks amazing!!! Is it safe to say you will need to head there at RD to avoid a long wait?

Actually, I'm thinking Be Our Guest for lunch will be the new rope drop target.

Be sure to tell me what I'm missing

Many a truth said in jest...

I plan to hit belle first thing...I a, actually splitting old fantasyland and new fantasyland in two days so I can be done with both before 11am when the onslaught of strollers arrives! We shall see if my plan is smart of foolish! Perhaps the area will feel so open it may not make sense to split in that way...we'll see... Glad there are 10 days of soft openings prior to my arrival

 

[mom2rtk]

Nope. I'm keeping it all to myself!

Yeah, I was really only half kidding. I have read post after post from people wanting to go in the "off" hours of lunch. I have a hunch there won't BE any "off" hours. I hope Disney responds by opening as early as possible. We already know dinner seatings start at 4, so they'll need time to clear through th final diners. So maybe close at what..... 3? But if there's a long line, they'll have to probably close the line even soone than that to allow them to clear through.

I wonder who all of the kids were that got to see the new Belle area. Cast members kids?

There are reports that there will be FP available...but how quickly they go is anyone's guess. Given the run on FP's with Toy Story Mania..I'm guessing quick.

At least for now...that would be my target for RD. Followed by Dumbo..then Little Mermaid.
