Pinch me, did it REALLY happen????? - All wrapped up, and yes, it DID happen!

[Leshaface]

I thought the same thing as you! Usually Disney goes above and beyond trying to hide a new attraction, so we thought it was really cool that they wanted you to check out the progress

 

[PrincessInOz]

Did you take a peek???


Looks great.

I love the pictures, everything is just so Disney... you know what I mean, all the details and thought that goes into everything.

Great update! I didn't realize they had peek holes. I hope you took a little look.


We went into Gaston's and shared a pork shank, bad Jews, and the drink they serve in the souvenir mug because I'm the biggest sucker on the planet. I have more plastic Disney crap in my cupboards than proper Tupperware. They still use the Zero bowl we got 4+ year ago so at least it's not a total waste.

Another great set of pics. So what was behind curtain #2?

Very nice pictures from the New Fantasyland that morning. The 7 Dwarfs Mine Train ride is coming along nicely.

Yeah, it was pretty much a pile of dirt. Nothing to write home about, I think they knew that and just letting us see that was their objective.

As I said a bunch of dirt, nothing really to see.

Disney is great for their details!

I did! I wasn't anything more than a big dig....

I'm hoping that they will have soft openings when we are back in October.

After leaving the area with Ariel, Belle and Be Our Guest, we moved on towards the Storybook Circus.

And then we ran into Laura! We chatted for a bit, talked about our plans for the rest of the day, took the obligatory DISmeet photo, and then we each went on our way.

 

[franandaj]

The CM had told Laura that people started queuing up for Be Our Guest around 10:30AM and the restaurant opened at 11:00. This worked out pretty well with our plans, but it wasn’t even 10AM yet so we settled on another attraction. Our destination was not in Fantasyland, but it wasn’t far. A few shots as we traveled along.

I see that Rapunzel will soon have a place to hang out.

At Last! Our destination!

I’m pretty sure that this is in honor of Marc Davis, Animator and Imagineer.

I’ve played with this wall a couple time, but I guess I never noticed the detail of the pictures. Fran did though

Cute picture of you and Laura,

Did the wall play music for you?

I love the stretching room!

There aren’t really any more photo opportunities here, but as we were exiting, Fran found one of the lights that she has purchased on eBay. We have a pair of these and she wanted ideas on how to make the flame look realistic so she had me take this picture. Her camera just wouldn’t capture the image. Our HM room is going to look so cool with these!

I just love the sense of humor that the imagineers have. The pet cemetery is hilarious and the fact that Mr. Toad is in it is even funnier!

Thanks!

Not so much "music" as it made more "church organ" type sounds as you brushed your hand across. Little quick bursts of sound.

Love all of the HM detail. I always have to take a double take because WDW's HM exterior is so different from Disneyland's. It always takes me a minute to recognize WDW's. Mr. Toad in the cemetery is hilarious. I have two pics in my report from MNSSHP of the Leota headstone, one with her eyes open and one shut. Michael captured them. I'd didn't realize they opened and closed until I saw the photos.

The storybook part of FL was all we really saw and I couldn't figure out why everyone was so impressed until Jenna told me there was this whole other area.

Love all the photos from HM

Wow, you are going to have your own HM room ........ How cool is that !!!

On our trip in 2011, I sat at the Leota headstone and waited to get a picture with her eyes open once I realized that they did that. I didn't want to wait that long this time since I had done it once before.

The storybook land was OK, we mainly went so we could say, "been there, done that". Otherwise it wasn't all that impressive, but I guess if you have kids that want to ride Dumbo, it's cool.

We even have the HM wallpaper! We have candleabras (yes plural), one of the actual stretching room pictures, and all those new recreations of the stretching room pics, probably more that I don't even know about.

Very nice pictures of the queue from the HM and pictures of Storybook Circus from the New Fantasyland. Glad that you were able to do a DISer meet that day.

Very nice update.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Fantastic pictures of HM. Looks like you had a great time in the graveyard.

Nice DisMeet picture.
