When will the New Fantastyland be open?

So when will the new Fantasyland be open?

Can anyone lead me in the direction of a few blog articles or board threads?

Thanks!

starting later this year. There was video posted of the new Dumbo ride being tested. There are rumors that ADRs for the new Beauty and the Beast restaurant will be taken soon. No confirmation though.

Here is a link to a long thread with thoughts updates and links to articles.

I am hoping this link it true that the first Phase may open in February 2012. We have a trip planned for March 2012 and I hope there is Dumbo to ride...it is a tradition of ours.

Thanks all. I've been waiting for some up-to-date info and this is looking pretty good!

The February opening date for the new Dumbo area has been pushed back to March 13. I don't think the Beauty/Beast Castley area is supposed to open until closer to summer.

and keep a keen eye out. One of Deming's keys for a successful service company is to set and exceed expectations. Service companies can't control interactions so it is important for them to influence expectations. Maybe they will be having a soft opening or maybe they will open early.

No promises - just hope.

I am planning an early August trip and am hoping at least part of the new Fantasyland area is open. I don't think I will be changing any of ADRs for this trip but would love to see some.

So what's meant to be up and running by late June 2012?

I understand the park maps have the Circus area on them with an end of February opening date. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a soft opening during out March trip for this area.

I heard March 12th for Dumbo. I'm hoping maybe a couple of days earlier since I'm leaving on the 10th
