Another impressive look inside the New Fantasyland expansion

  Today the Disney Parks Blog is offering a glimpse inside Maurice’s Cottage.     We are so excited about this area and the release of these sneak peek pictures helps to fuel the fire.   We have been able to see the Beasts castle from Fantasyland for awhile now and can’t wait to try the food from the Be Our Guest Restaurant.   Maurice’s Cottage will invite you in as you wait to see Belle in the Enchanted Tales with Belle (meet and greet).

 

 

Dates on the opening of the Fantasyland attractions:

  • July 2012 – second Dumbo along with the big top queue and Casey Jr water area
  • Holiday 2012 – Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid, Belle Meet and Greet, Be Our Guest Restaurant, Gaston’s Tavern, and Ariel’s Grotto

New Dumbo Waiting Area

We just returned from a week and a half at the world with lots to share, so stay tuned.   For now enjoy this video on the new Dumbo area to open soon, no long will you have to wait in line.   The kids can play and you will be paged when it’s your time to enter the line and fly with Dumbo!
