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

[arbolita]

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

The railroad station is open - it is located in Storybook Circus.

Things could change at any time... But it's looking good for the rest of New Fantasyland to soft open this morning. Long line already!


Seems like this includes the Little Mermaid area.

Expected to be open are Mermaid Ride, Ariel's Grotto, Gaston's Tavern... Possibly more.

Odd Question, is Storybook Circus officially part of Fantasyland?

I'll try to post photos from Twitter as I see them.

Will this be opened for a while or just today? My wife and I make it in to the Magic Kingdom by way of WV tomorrow morning!

Twitter: @Exprcoofto - They’ve made some fantastic changes. Among my favorite: Ursula’s death is more prominent. King Triton’s hair is a fabric material.

So it looks like LM will not be an exact duplicate of DCA's afterall.

Difficult to say. I would think that the soft open would continue over the next few days, but once Cast Member/D23/AP/DVC previews start, it will probably be closed to the public until they are completed.

Love all the pictures that are coming in from FL.

I just wished we could have seen in last weekend

Yay! It looks like Disney really did take up the challenge from Universal!

LaFou's Brew made me laugh. I think the cups will look great next to our Butterbeer mugs.

Hi, if this new area is "soft opened" on a given day, will it be from rope drop? Also, how do you find out if it is going to open that day? We are going next Thurs for 2 weeks.
