Looks like a lot has gotten into top gear after FLE soft opened. Awesome. Bathroom look cool... just except they spent how much on themed restrooms and not rides?

I still laugh at anyone who thinks SDMT will be a D-Ticket. E-Ticket right here.

Maybe with the original plans, but with Disney scaling it back, who knows.

Hmmm I have mixed feelings. But I need to get out there and experience this new area so I can decide whether I like it or not. So Far from Pictures it looks interesting.

Aesthetically the expansion looks great and and as far as BOG, LM and Belles go, the demographic that area is aimed will eat it it all up.

Commemorative Grand Reveal Merchandise for New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park on December 6​

I’m looking forward to the grand reveal of New Fantasyland on December 6. We have created a small assortment of commemorative items to celebrate the largest expansion in the history of Magic Kingdom Park. We will also be holding a New Fantasyland pin release party at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort on December 6 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This free activity will see the release of the limited edition pins and sets that I first discussed in September. I will be sharing details of that event soon on the Disney Parks Blog. While no pins will be at Magic Kingdom Park on December 6, here is a look at the other items we will be releasing that day.

The grand reveal day has been captured in three new shirts that will be offered all day at Magic Kingdom Park on December 6. For men, shirts will be offered in sizes ranging from small to 3-extra large, while ladies’ shirts will have sizes ranging from extra-small to 2-extra large. For youth, the shirts will be offered in extra small to extra large.

We will introduce a new “Cover Your Ears” featuring a beautiful aerial view of New Fantasyland. We first introduced this new kind of cover for a standard Disney ear hat during the 30th anniversary of Epcot. The “Cover Your Ears” for New Fantasyland has an edition size of 1,000.

Speaking of covers, we will be offering six new D-Tech On Demand cases for both the iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5. The three New Fantasyland cases use the amazing signature images released in August 2012, and will have an edition size of 300 each. The Disney Princess cases featuring Belle, Ariel and Snow White will be limited release.

Finally, we will release two deluxe prints, again featuring those signature images of Maurice’s Cottage and Prince Eric’s Castle. Each print has an edition size of 500.

On December 6, you can find commemorative merchandise in the following Magic Kingdom Park locations:

• Emporium – Main Street, U.S.A. – Will have tees, Cover Your Ears and D-Tech On Demand cases.
• Main Street Cinema – Main Street, U.S.A. – Will have deluxe prints only.
• Big Top Souvenirs – Fantasyland – Will have tees only.
• Mickey’s Star Traders – Tomorrowland – Will have tees only.
• Pirates Bazaar – Adventureland – Will have tees only.

The event tees and the D-Tech On Demand cases with Disney Princesses for iPhone 4/4s and iPhone 5 will also be sold via the Disney Parks online store from December 6-9, 2012 (please allow 8 to 10 weeks for delivery). To find these items online starting December 6, visit http://www.DisneyStore.com/NewFantasyland.

I hope to see you at New Fantasyland for what will be an exciting day!

I find those princess iPhone cases creepy :blank:

Some things just cannot be unseen.

I find those princess iPhone cases creepy :blank:

Especially the snow white one. She looks up to no good

 

[Andy]

Briman if your reading this, I'm sticking to my initial gut reaction :thumbs:

 

[Jakemeister]

We've sold the creepy cases for a few weeks now.

 

[ReelJustice]

They really should have gone for a name other than New Fantasyland, but I suppose they figured their audience isn't capable of understanding something less simple. Fantasy Forest was/is a better option IMO.

 

[Felipe]

I agree. The Princess art on the cases look really off... Snow White's looks borderline knock-off. Belle and Ariel look high and all gaunt. REALLY WEIRD...

Focusing on the positives: The overall theming in the new Fantasyland looks really nice. I just went to WDW a couple of months ago during Food & Wine, so I won't go again for a while. Whenever I do go back, I hope I can dine in the BoG restaurant. I'll probably make it out there once the Dwarf Mine coaster opens.
