| Info on Fantasyland expanion - confirmed! Since the other thread was about the rumors and speculation of a possible fantasyland refurb, I thought we'd start a new thread with the confirmed details. These are all the links posted on the other thread: New Fantasyland: Walt Disney World announces plans to overhaul Magic Kingdom -- OrlandoSentinel.com Disney to expand Fantasyland at Walt Disney World - Yahoo! News The Little Mermaid Fantasyland Expands Attractions magazine has a video of the announcement here: D23 Expo: Video of the full Fantasyland expansion announcement - Orlando Attractions Magazine Blog with more concept art here: D23 Expo: 20 pieces of concept art for the major Fantasyland expansion now confirmed for Walt Disney World - Orlando Attractions Magazine Blog Please feel free to add links to more info on the confirmed expansion  and I'll add them to this first post.

| I just read an article in this week's Mouseplanet. I personally don't like the idea at all of them touching Fantasyland. As much as Abby loves the Princesses, I think enough is enough - there's enough meals, enough merchandise. I prefer Fantasyland, not Princess land.

| I saw this on the morning news today, and I'm so excited to see the final product! As much as I'm a fan of leaving Fantasyland the way it is, and maybe expanding by adding a whole new land, I still can't wait for something new

| Should be interesting - more princesses. What about the little guys? - the ones who will probably be heading en masse to Harry Potter Land at IOA

| Well, i am not sure how i completly feel about it! I am excited to see changes to the Dumbo area ~ they sound fun. I have to admit though, that as the mother to a boy...i too wish they were adding some "Prince" training, or something specific to boys. i am also sad to here they are taking away Mickey and Minnie's houses! I certainly hope they are able to save Goofy's Barnstormer, it is one of our favorites! i guess we will just have to wait and see.

| This doesn't really bother me I think its kinda exciting. I like the idea of the circus tent but I never realized Dumbo was the most popular attraction. In all of our visits we only rode this once and it was on our first visit. It was a "when in Rome" type of thing. We haven't had the urge to do it again but I guess if its brand new we will. I guess I will miss Toontown with my DS coming to the age that he would have enjoyed it. My DD is "way" to old for Toontown  I just wish I had spent more time there this August as it will be closed when we go in October 2010

| In reality I can see Ariel place put in in the area of the 2000 LUS and Dumbo in toon town, but unless they go over the train track they have very little space to work in for the rest of the project it would be squish if they did it.

| I can't wait to see it. I also hope they find a new place to put Mickey and Minnie's houses.

| This is great! My son will be born in March 2010, and by the time he is old enough to really enjoy it fantasy land will be completed. I'm sure it won't be his first trip though, my daughter couldn't wait that long & neither could we.
