Fantasyland is so yawn inducing though. Sure it will look pretty, but this "whole land" is only one new ride, one existing ride cloned and moved, and lots of shops and restaurants....
....why is that any better than what WWOHP?
I don't see it as being "better", but it has the potential to be WWoHP's equal. All WWoHP really added to the park was one new ride, two rethemed rides and lots of shops and restaurants. Same difference.
I will say that WWoHP probably has a better unifying theme. Fantasyland is geared around princesses, but I'm not sure if its collection of cottages and castles will come together in the same cohesive manner. Time will tell.
A better comparison will be Carsland at DCA. From what I have seen, designers did an excellent job of leveraging the subject matter there. All of the key locations from the film will be leveraged and make for a truly immersive experience.
