Fantasyland Expansion

[MadEye]

Thanks for the information. Seems like things are progressing ver nicely then...

Everything except the Snow White mine train ride. No construction for it at all, yet.

True, but as it was a last minute change, It's further behind on the development track than the rest of Fantasyland Expansion. I thought it was announced it would open later than the rest of the expansion?

Oh, it'll open later than the rest of FLE all right. Meh, I won't worry too much unless they haven't started construction within the next year.

Update: Rockwork is coming along nicely for both TLM facade and the BatB area. And the castle wall has started just behind the construction wall near Pinocchio's Village Haus.

Yes, we saw Beauty & the Beast's castle coming up while riding the carousel the other day, we just looked up and there it was. SO excited for when this will all be completed!

I hope there will be a significant amount of progress with the expansion (or well some of the portions be close to finishing) by the time I may go in January.

Just wait till the rock work is done below the castle!

It's a very small chance but Dumbo's circus area could be open by then. Don't quote me on that, though. I could be way off.

Really? I honestly thought the earliest was going to be around spring 2012. When is dumbo finally going to go down for it's movement?

Like I said, I could be way off the mark. But from the construction I've seen for the "Dueling Dumbos" circus queue show building, is making very good progress. And there is still no word on if the current Dumbo will be one of the two that will be part of the Storybook Circus area.

If this is the case, I wonder when they will stop operating Dumbo. The tents do look good from the outside, but who knows. I am not expecting to see anything until fall of 2012, but something before that would be awesome!

So if I go in Fall of 2013, I should be able to see almost all of the expansion except for the Mine Ride?

Theoretically, but it all largely depends upon the progress of construction...

Indeed. Hurricane season has started and Florida hasn't had a bad hurricane hit since 05 and that really worries me with this construction going on.

I honestly think hurricane season has everybody always on a few pins and needles. The concept art for the dueling dumbos has always showed both spinners to have different number of elephants. It is assumed that the one with fewer replicas on the left was to be the old and the new one would be the larger one on the right.

We shall see but keep in mind that Aladdin's Magic Carpets is also thought to be the other spinner too (my personal choice). Heck, we may never know.

We'll know...we'll just have to be patient

[mindflipper]

...or they could even introduce two new spinners for Dumbo in FE, keep the spinner for the carpet ride, and put the current dumbo into storage so that it could used somewhere else someday (such as the Shanghai Disneyland maybe? or become a different spinner altogether)...

...there's so many ways to speculate what Disney could be doing, just no way now to know what they are going to do for certain...
