A Birds-Eye View of New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park

Up for another look at New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park? 

Walt Disney Imagineering just shared this time-lapse video that shows the amazing progress that’s been made so far on the expansion. More importantly, this clip gives you an idea at exactly how large the expansion will be. I know I’ve said it before, but it’s the biggest expansion in Magic Kingdom Park history!

Just for your reference, the left side of the construction represents the future area of Be Our Guest Restaurant, Maurice’s Cottage, and Gaston’s Tavern. The large building on the right side will house The Little Mermaid. (Storybook Circus, which is not included in the frame, will begin at the far right of this attraction).

The attractions and other guest offerings in New Fantasyland will open in phases beginning in late 2012.

I personally love time-lapse videos, because they really show how things change so fast... Of course, they didn't build all these things in just less than a minute (that's the actual duration of the video), but it is still impressive to see all the progress that has been made since 2009, when the area was just a forest. So, aren't you excited to see this great, new Fantasyland area? We surely are, and we can't wait to see it!
