News about Fantasyland 2.0!
The Fantasyland Expansion's planes have been revised, and here you are some new insider's informations about the new plans (A HUGE THANKS TO LEE, OF WDWMAGIC!!):
Remember that while these are almost confirmed plans, they my change at any time:
__________________________
From WDWMagic (some parts have been changed for a better understanding):
Fantasyland East (near the tea cups) will be almost entirely "Dumbo's Circus" themed.
It will feature Double Dumbo (with the next generation queue), rethemed Barnstormer (likely clowns), rethemed train station, Casey Jr food stand (NOT a ride), and a fairly major merch location.
Tents will go due to their current condition being not all that good, but will likely be replaced by more tents.
Pixie Hollow (in all it's early concept forms) is dead.
Fantasyland West will have the biggest change from the original plan:
The Little Mermaid dark ride and meet-and-greet, Gaston's tavern, Beauty and the Beast's restaurant and Belle's village areas are proceeding as planned.
Cinderella's and Aurora's meet-and-greets are dead.
The large space where they were going will in fact be the Snow White/Dwarf coaster/mine car ride.
Snow White's Scary Adventure will close, providing a home for the wayward princesses. This looks to possibly be a temporary move, perhaps using the recycled name of Fantasyland Character Festival.
This will allow them to have somewhere to do M&Gs while a new area is built, perhaps over in the old Skyway station spot. The SWSA show building would then be changed into a new attraction.
Tink and the Pixies....not sure.
EDIT: Chance the princesses may move in with Mick and Min on Main St for a bit while their new home is being prepared. Depends on the timeframe of how long they keep TTF open.

Wow! these are great changes to the plans! And there's also a new article on Jim Hill's Media about other new possible works near Fantasyland!!! This is getting better and better every day!
What do you think about these changes? Won't the new Mine ride be a great addition?
I think so! Let's wait for more news!
UPDATE: Here's what the expansion's changes MAY look like:

I love the changes but I don't like the fact the there will be a dead spot across from the soon to be beautiful Dumbos. They have to do something to make it nice otherwise it will ruin the effect of the area.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree... they will do something for sure, but maybe not as soon as they had originally planned...
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a Beauty and the Beast or a Cinderella dark ride where snow white is leaving. I would also like to see a Alice in Wonderland dark ride somewhere around the Mad Tea Party. That would be AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a Beauty and the Beast dark ride too! It appeals to both males and females, but there are some issues about this:
ReplyDelete1) They're already building a huge Beauty and the Beast area, that will include THREE restaurants, a meet-and-greet, a show, a village, a tavern and more!)
2) Snow White may not leave... for now it's just a rumor, nothing has been confirmed yet...
But one can dream! :-)
Wll if they are building an area they may as well top it off with a ride.
ReplyDeleteI am having a hard time envisioning where the coaster would go. But I am pleased they are giving us more than a bunch of princess meet and greets. Honestly, unless you are a 6 yr old girl, nobody wants to make a birthday card for Princess Aurora. That was a truly lame concept.
