Cannot wait to see the progress in two weeks. From what I've seen, Beast's castle is coming along quite well... I'm so excited to be there for the big unveiling next fall. :D

Beast's castle is done. It is the rock work around the castle that is now coming along nicely.

I can't wait to see this new section when it is finally done. It seems like this will become very popular very fast.

Update: Castle walls near Pinocchio's Village Haus are going verticle, the last big planter near Dumbo is gone and much more.

Here's a site with lots of pictures:

Nice photos ~ a lot of detail is going into those castles ~ They should look nice when they are all finished!

I have to admit I'm impressed with the progress. It seems the more they get done, the faster they're getting it done...

Not really part of the Fantasyland Exp, but why is Tigger's bouncing place still not open? Has it ever been open? Was there an accident that closed it back down??

I kind of wondered that myself. I wonder if they didn't get all the kinks worked out yet? Was it supposed to make Tigger boing-ing sounds when they jumped on the pads?

Tigger's area in the new queue never opened because of safety issues (nothing happened as no kids have experienced it).

Do the pads actually move up and down, or do they just make noise when you step on them? Do you know what the safety issues are?

I have no clue but I'd venture to guess that the spots bounce. Think of it like a trampoline with hard pavement surrounding you when you fall and other guests (hyper kids) doing the same thing and crashing into each other.
