Your BEST WDW theme park secret! Part II

[ejud]

At the start of this thread the OP asked everyone not to post on the thread requesting a copy of the list, but to email her (click on her username in the left hand column).
"If you would like to request a copy of the Word document of this thread, please E-MAIL me. Do not post a request on this thread, as I cannot keep up with all the requests that are posted on the boards AND they bog down our thread with unnecessary posts."

LOL! Thank you! I was just about to inquire if something like that could be done!

(From Disney Shawn's blog)...new details and "secrets" added since the renovation was complete.
**********

Look at the inlaid star pattern in the floor at the threshold of the shop...Castle Couture is the Royal Dressmaker for the Kingdom of Fantasyland, and the story shows that it's clearly run by the three good fairies from Sleeping Beauty. The stars represent them: Red for Flora, Green for Fauna, Blue for Merryweather.

The second half of the shop, once home to Tinker Bell's Fairy Treasures, has been converted into an expansion of Castle Couture.

The original section of Castle Couture is now the Dressmaker's showroom, ornately appointed and including facilities for young princesses to try on their new gowns. This new section represents the Dressmaker's Workshop. Here, the fixtures are made of wood and covered with fabric, thread and the tools of the dressmaker trade.

The walls of the workshop include nods to some of the Dressmaker's more famous clientele. Look for silhouettes of Belle, Ariel, Aurora and the fairest of them all, Snow White. You'll also discover art on the wall representing dress designs (in fact, these are reproductions of concept art for some of the Disney animated features).

The back corner of the workshop is dressed as a fitting room and portrait studio. Here, the gown being made at the moment is for none other than the queen of this kingdom, Cinderella. On an overhead shelf, you'll see her silhouette and a collection of blue fabric (her signature color).

Glance at the other side of the room, and you may notice a few other things among the notions on these shelves. There are pin cushions in the shape of pumpkins, and peeking out over the top ledge are Gus and Jaq, overseeing the work on the dress (and probably keeping an eye out for Lucifer).

I must say, I still have so many post to read, but all the info in this and the original thread is overwhelming. I got the list e-mailed earlier, I can't wait to quiz my DGF, she's a real pro, and showed me a lot of things last October when we went. This Oct we are going back and taking my DS for his first trip, He'll be 7 when we go so I know he's going to be so excited. and to add some of these neat little things along the way will just make it better.

Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful tips for someone new to this side of Disney.

OKay, here is a question that is bugging me, sorry if it has repeated from this post, I haven't had time yet to read it all through....


In Tomorrowland, at the TTA, there is a "Robotic Newspaper Boy", something that looks like it would hold Newspapers etc....any idea what the purpose of this is/was? It always bugs me, I can't figure it out

Hey,

Not sure if there is a particular reason. Let me ask the Disney twitter crew, and if I find anything out, I'll come back and post.

Isabelle,

I am sending out tons of requests every day. If you have tried e-mailing and posting messages to me, I am not receiving them. I will send the document(s) out to you with my next group.

Thanks,

Deb

This will be our second trip in September. the lines were non-existant last time (also in September) to where we never had to use a fastpass. Will post if results are similar!

Also requested the list (like many others). too bad you can't embed it to a message.

In Space Mountain, the moving meteors projected above are actually blown up pictures of a chocolate chip cookie! My Mom-in-law told me..and sure enough.

Actually, with the most recent refurb, they took our beloved cookies out....so sad....
