Remember, as part of the WDW Fantasyland Expansion, the Princesses will move into the space occupied by Snow White's Scarey Adventure once the Seven Dwarf's Mine Train Coaster opens...

I wonder if we are "expanding" or just shuffling ours around? I can't imagine the tangled area will last forever unless they make it a film series.

They are continuing with the Tangled series by producing a short film called Tangled Ever After (I think, don't quote me on that) so that will help keep the series alive for a bit longer.

But no feature length or straight to store products? Sounds like they are filling the gap between that movie and the next princess character.

Well, Brave is the next princess character from what I recall. I don't know if she IS exactly a princess since she looks like the female Robin Hood.

Close enough, all she needs to do is submit to a royal man if she isn't already royal and it counts since many of them are commoners. :D

It might have been posted before but apparently ElecTRONica has been extended again till sping of next year, this time they are serious that it's the end. Apparently the next incarnation will be themed like like a mad tea party.

Merida is indeed a princess...I wasn't sure about Brave because I didn't know much about it. I still don't know much about it, but now that I've seen more of the movie...it looks to be amazing! I don't think Pixar wanted to give away too much about the plot, but it seems to be a typical princess-must-find-suitor-to-marry type storyline...but I have a feeling there is going to be a huge twist in it...

...and that's all I have to say about that... ;)

See, now I'm even more excited for it after your description.

Also, I was hoping it would be the end of ElecTRONica as much as I love it. With the renovation of Hollywoodland there, it would be immensely out of place.

We had those same thoughts regarding ElecTRONica. It's pretty cool (especially Laserman!), but with all the construction, we figured it would end after Labor Day since the makeover would be continuing. Besides, it's going to be tough getting to HPB for a while... We found ourselves taking the Grizzly Pass whenever possible, though.

I'm guessing it's one of those things where it's doing more good than harm and must not be impacting construction that much.

Yeah, the last couple of times I went through A Bug's Land to get to it. Now I think I'm going to hold off wanting to go to DCA until the Buena Vista Street ends but I may go to ElecTRONica one last time.

I am guessing it's safe to go back for lunch meetings again.

I love that they have R2-D2, Boba Fett and Cpt Rex roaming around Tomorrowland. I hope they have this at DHS in WDW.

I would probably stand in (a relatively short) line to get my photo taken with R2D2...he's cute :D
