For Walt Disney World in Florida, Rasulo outlined plans for the largest expansion in the history of the Magic Kingdom, vastly increasing the size of Fantasyland by 2013. Guests will soon be able to:
- Visit their favorite Disney Princess in her castle, cottage, or chateau to share a dance with Cinderella; celebrate Sleeping Beauty's birthday with the Good Fairies; or join Belle in an enchanting story performance in the Beast's castle library.
- Be Our Guest and dine in one of three enchanted rooms inside the Beast's castle.
Fly with Dumbo high above brand new circus grounds, twice the size of the existing attraction with a new interactive, three-ring circus tent. - Journey under the sea with Ariel, The Little Mermaid, in her very own attraction - also opening at Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim in 2011.
- Meet Tinker Bell and her friends in the magical world of Pixie Hollow.
One of the Magic Kingdom's most beloved attractions, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, is completely re-imagined when the circus comes to town. Guests are invited to step into the big top and join the circus before their magical flight over Fantasyland. The attraction will be part of the expanded Fantasyland that was announced at the D23 Expo on Saturday by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo. Disney © 2009
Rumors Confirmed
It appears that the rumors are now confirmed and this much needed expansion to the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland area will occur.
Several weeks ago blue prints circulated on the internet showing plans for a major expansion to the Fantasyland section of the Magic Kingdom. Today's announcement confirms that expansion.
The old 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction consumed a lot of real estate that has not been used since it was removed many years ago.
This expansion will give bring new rides and attractions to the Magic Kingdom and really expand the "Princess" centered attractions in the park.
Look for more details to come out in the near future.
