Maybe some meet & greets may be retained outside of the one to be built into SWSA. Maybe Ariel's will be somewhere near the TLM ride? Maybe Belle's will be near the Beauty & Beast restaurants? I haven't seen a final blueprint of the revised area, so who knows what is planned to go where?

If I am not mistaken, Ariel will have a M&G connected to the TLM ride building. If you look close, there are cave entrances/exits in the rock work in the concept art. And I believe Belle's M&G/interactive (I think) story telling will be in her cottage between Village Haus and the BaTB restaurant.

That does make sense and goes along with what I was thinking. I believe the SWSA will be for the fairies and other princesses.

Thanks, MadEye. I did remember correctly those from the original blueprints, but as I haven't seen the revised blueprint layout (with the new mine car coaster) I had no idea if those M&G areas had been retained or not. I was presuming they had been, but I have no way to know definitively.

Oh, I had gotten the impression that all of the princesses were now going to where SWSA is currently. I guess that makes more sense.[/quote]

Only the princesses that don't already have new solo spots being built (Cinderella, Aurora/Sleeping Beauty, etc.).

Unless I've misunderstood, I don't think the fairies are going in SWSA...

True, I have not heard about the fate of Pixie Hollow in the revised FLE plans. Another reason it would be nice to see the updated blueprint/layout of the FLE plans to know what's been kept and what's been axed.

No need for blueprints.

Pixie Hollow: Dead
Sleeping Beauty/Cinderella Meet and Greets: no going to happen.

Everything else announced from the beginning (BaTB restaurant/village area, TLM, double Dumbo, etc.) is still going to happen.

So I guess TDO will try to reuse as many of the "AAs" from SWSA for the new roller coaster? I mean...if you are going to be moving fast you won't have to have a ton of detail...so they could reuse some of the dwarfs and possibly the Queen/Witch if that is part of the storyline.

That makes sense that they would try to reuse as much of the old attractions stuff in the new attraction ~ unless it doesn't fit the story line...

That is a reasonable guess, and probably a factor in their decision to get ride of SWSA.

Whoops Rapunzel and Tiana are princesses not fairies

I wouldn't be surprised if they make use of all the space to incorporate the fairies there. Where else will Disney be able to place them in MK?

Rapunzel and Tiana already have their own spots (Rapunzel is near the Tea Cups and Tiana is behind the christmas shop in Liberty Square.

Right now the fairies are currently in Epcot (no word on if it is just for F&G or permanent) and Tinkerbell is in the animation building at MGM.

Something tells me they'll be new(er). If you look close to the right side of the new Dwarfs Mine Train ride, the track goes under the scene of the Dwarfs going over the log. That is not a scene in SWSA.

According to the parks blog it is Aurora, Cinderella, Tiana, Rapunzel and other princesses will greet you in the new Princess Fairytale Hall where SWSA is today. The fairies are in EPCOT and the way it is starting to sound, that might be a more long term thing than just the F&G.

I truely hope not...

After riding Winnie the Pooh 2 days ago, I must say, the new queue is nice and the kids will love it. The honey walls already have scuff marks in some places and after touching them, WASH YOUR HANDS!!!

Ok, I know this is an old post, but I have to share what F1gment was saying today about Pooh's honey wall. She told me that this next trip she is going to play with the honey wall, since she did not get to see it close up this past trip. I replied with what basically amounted to "Ick ~ too many germs" and she said that she would only touch up high. Then she mused that it probably didn't matter since the honey probably recirculated anyhow....I looked at her and she was being quite serious. So I asked her, Mom, you do know the honey wall is a screen right? And she laughed and said of course, but the screen scrolls down all the time right? I couldn't help but laugh!
