As of July 2012, some of the Storybook Circus has opened up to the public. If you have been to Disney World before, you probably have seen the Dumbo ride and also waited on the ridiculously long line with the sun beating right down on you. Thank goodness Disney has changed this and made this line move quicker and also be more of a pleasurable experience. I will have more info to come about this upgrade to Dumbo in a later post.
If you remember Mickey's Toontown Fair, then you probably remember Goofy's Barnstormer. Well this Rollercoaster is back and literally exactly the same as it was before. We asked the Cast Member at the entrance if it changed at all and he told us literally all they did was switch the exit and the entrance and add different scenery. Now it is Circus themed to go with the Storybook Circus.
Toontown also used to have a railroad stop that came from Frontierland and went to Main Street, U.S.A. Well luckily, that railroad stop is now the Fantasyland railroad stop and is open to the public. This is a great way to get around the park quickly without having to walk.
Also now available is the Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station where guests can cool down with sprinklers in the play area. If you remember Donald's Boat, you will find this attraction familiar because it is exactly the same, but with different decor.
There are many other things that are coming up in the future, even the near future. If you have been to Disney this year, you have probably noticed the circus tents. One of these will become a shop similar to the one that was in toontown. Another Tent will become home to Pete's Silly Slideshows where you can meet your favorite Disney Characters as Circus acts! Minnie and Daisy will be one line and Goofy and Donald will be a different line.
The other section of the New Fantasyland will be the Enchanted Forest. Many of these attractions are expected to open December 6th, 2012.
Prince Eric's Castle will house the Under the Sea~Journey of the Little Mermaid Attraction in which you can hop in a shell and journey through the story of Ariel and all of her friends. Ariel's Grotto should be reopening near this attraction at the same time where guests can meet Ariel.
One of the most awaited places to open has been the Be Our Guest Restaurant which will open in December. This will be housed in the Beast's Castle and will be quick service for lunch and table service for dinner. Gaston's Tavern will also open and will be quick service all day long. Belle will also have story time with Lumiere near the castle. Maurice's Cottage will also open around this time as well as a souvenir shop named Bonjour! Village Gifts.
Sometime in 2013, Princess Fairytale Hall will open which will feature everybody's favorite Disney Princesses.
Snow White's Scary Adventures has been closed, but in 2014 a new Snow White Attraction will become available. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will be in the center of this New Fantasyland and is sure to be a favorite of guests of all ages.
Disney Tip: If you want to see the entire model of the New Fantasyland in person, head to the One Man's Dream in Hollywood Studios.
