DIS Dads, I haven't posted in quite awhile been busy preparing and then enjoying our newborn DD (1 month yesterday). Anywhooo... I was visiting some of my WDW sites and came accross this piece of info (that was supposively leaked), I have no idea of the reliability of this info I am just passing it on to see if anyone else has heard this. It's in regards to WDW re-doing tomorrowland and eliminating toontown, it even came with a picture of the blueprints and a description of the plans. If it's a hoax, someone went to alot of trouble to create it. I will paste the blueprint link and also paste the description below. You be the judge.

Starting in Tomorrowland
The tea cups and speedway are still there and still in the same place. Walking from there and into where Toontown would be, Barnstormer is still there but probably will be rethemed to the Dwarf Mine Cart Coaster, possibly in a 2nd phase of the refurb. Next to the Barnstormer zone in the train station, renamed Fantasyland Train Station. That area is zoned and labeled Dumbo. Leads me to believe the train station will have a Dumbo theme to it.
To the west of the train station is Pixie Hollow. The Pixie Hollow zone has the fairies meet and greet as well as a Pixie Hollow Play area.
North of Pixie Hollow is a second named Dumbo zone. Here is where the two Dumbo rides (Dumbo A and Dumbo B) are located, right next to each other. There appears to be an indoor queue leading to both rides. The queue is labeled Interactive Queue. This area would be the northern most part of Toontown and pushing the boundry with the train tracks for WDW Railroad.
Ok, let's circle back to the Indy Speedway and the teacups. Walk west into Fantasyland. Right off the teacup area is a zone labeled Aurora. Inside this zone is an area labeled Aurora Attraction. This area is inside were Toontown was, and right behind Pooh's Playful Spot, which is staying.
Walk past Pooh's Playful Spot, heading west. You will come to a new zone called Cinderella. And inside this Cinderella zone is something called Cinderella Attraction. Attached to the Cinderella attraction is a building labeled MIRROR. I am assuming this attraction in a walkthrough, and the MIRROR is a magic mirror with technology similar to Turtle Talk. Pooh and Snow White's rides appear unaffected cause they are still on the plans.
Directly in front of Cinderella zone, and behind the Carousell, is Castle Wall. And inside the wall is a lable Entrance Castle Wall. This castle wall zone appears to border Pinocchio Village Haus. This wall seems to travel up the side of the building, thus creating the Castle Courtyard. The one thing about the wall, though, is I am not sure how high it is, as you cannot tell by these plans, and if this wall really does separate Fantasyland into two areas, as it appears to do in the plans.
Next to the Cinderella zone, located within the courtyard, is a zone titled Belle. In this zone is a Belle attraction, a new restaurant called Be Our Guest Restaurant, and what appears to be a counter service called Gaston's Tavern.
Behind Cinderella Zone and next to Be Our Guest Restaurant is Mermaid.The ride takes up the remaining 20K space and a little of toontown it appears. Also, Ariel's meet and greet is now located there. Yes it appears that the current Mermaid Lagoon is either relocated or gone, unless I am missing something. The way it looks to me is Belle and Be Our Guest is taking over that area.
The Cinderella Carsousel looks like it is staying in the same area, but in front of the wall. Dumbo is relocated to the area I mentioned. The princesses appear to be inside the courtyard and inside enchanted forest.
Peter Pan, Small World, Philharmagic and Pinocchio Village Haus will be INSIDE the Castle Courtyard while the 4 areas dedicated to Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, and Ariel are inside the Enchanted Forest. This also includes Pooh and Snow White.
now i got to call this morning to see if i can get the date changed. knowing my luck, id get picked to be on a jury and wouldnt be able to go.
