Just read where it's a invitation only grand opening for the new fantasyland on December 5-7. Which really ticks me off since after hearing that it would en on December 6 i made reservation for December 1-8 well leaving on the 8th. So hoping that there wuIll be soft openings that week so my little girl can ride the little mermaid since that is all she talks about. Anyone have any inside info if there maybe soft openings that week.

Expect a mostly-open status from November 19 on.

Huh? What do you mean by an invitation only grand opening the 5th-7th? Can you give a link to where you saw this?

It was on face book from the Walt Disney World Resort. The actual article is on www.talkdisney.com

It was on Facebook from the Walt Disney World Resort. The article can be found on www.talkdisney.com. They said they relied the in ire in the mail. It was a golden colored story book. It has a picture of it on the site.

I'm going to have to see that from another source before I get concerned. Seems like a tiny detail to have left out since already making a big announcement about the grand opening happening on the 6th. I'm guessing that there will be certain special events that are invitation only but that the New Fantasyland will be accessible to all guests once the grand opening ceremony has taken place on the 6th.

I thought the same thing until I found this article from the Orlando news. Saying the exact same thing.

Just found a picture of the actual invitation. It's for a preview of fantasyland on the 5th and dinner party. Then the grand opening on the sixth and 7th. But it looks like its just event on the 5th that will not be open to the public.

I believe that invitation/event is the media preview event.

So, is all of the Forest ( Belle's side) completely open to walk through now? Of course, the attractions aren't open, but I have heard the walls are down and you can walk through.

Is this correct?

Bump, BUmp, BUMP!! I'm curious about this too!!

From a picture I saw earlier today they have those rolling hedge planter boxes lined up where the wall was blocking your entrance to the forest.

Does anyone know whether the Fantasyland railroad station is currently open, or does it just stop at Frontierland and Main Street for now?
