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

[ghtx]

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

Disagree. Enchanted Tales, yes, depending on FP availability and speed. But Dumbo is no longer a RD necessity since they added the second loop and FP. Likewise, the Little Mermaid ride is very fast loading; there is never a long wait for it at DL.

RD (for little tykes) should be Belle (probably), then PP, WtP, Tomorrowland Speedway.

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

Glad I got my dinner ADR so I don't have to worry about that one. It will be very interesting to see how all of this pans out come 11/19.

We dont do pan....and dont seem to wait for pooh.

Likewise...nobody likes the speedway.

For that matter, is there anything that's stopping them from having more than one Belle? That would speed things up. I'm pretty sure this is how some mall Santas do it.

I was wondering the same thing - but the only potential issue is if the same guests goes twice and sees two different Belles - does that lessen the experience?

Well, that was always possible with the arrangement for meet & greets in Town Square Theater. I don't think they feel obligated to plan for a guest who happens to do something twice.

Even with only one room you could go again later in the day or the next day and the same thing could happen.

Same for any M&G with a face character.

thanks!

here's hoping they have tons of rooms and tons of Belles as I think this will be very popular and not a quick thru attraction

 

[chartle]

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.

But the theming is incredible.

Party Pooper, there is a Disney reference near the end though.

STILL not going to watch it.

I've been "Astley"ed too many times in the past....

THAT is awesome.

Many of us speculated it would begin to run early, given the "finished" nature of the area and the landscaping.

Is this really a soft opening though? To me a soft opening is where anyone walks up to the attraction and can go in if its open.

I don't think "a limited number of invited guests were taken through the attraction" is really a soft opening. Something more like a cast member preview with their kids so we can shoot some promo video.

I'm thinking CMs went up to families with the right mix of children and asked them if they wanted to go on the attraction. They may not have even been told where they were going.

I'm just waiting for all the "We are going to be there next week, how can we see it?" or "If its soft opening now it HAS to be open for our trip in October" posts.

Hopeful, though not expecting, that at least Belle will be open when we visit November 9-11.

Like maybe me, tomorrow. And then all your tempting will be moot.

I also have a snowball's chance in...well, you know.

seeing that the attraction is pretty much done in the video makes me more confident we will get to see it on our Nov 8-17th trip. woo hoo!
