The Disney Parks Blog just announced the news we’ve all been waiting for, the date for the next phase of the New Fantasyland expansion to open to guests!
With Storybook Circus quickly becoming a favorite part of the new Fantasyland, the Parks Blog today shared details of the next area of Storybook Circus to open, Pete’s Silly Sideshow. There guests can meet their favorite characters in their Storybook Circus-themed finest: Minnie Magnifique (Minnie Mouse as a circus star), Madame Daisy Fortuna (Daisy Duck as a fortuneteller), The Great Goofini (Goofy as a daredevil stunt pilot), and The Astounding Donaldo (Donald Duck as a snake charmer).
Locals and far-off visitors alike have been cheering the attention to detail we’ve seen in Storybook Circus, and have been anxiously awaiting the walls to come down so we may see more of that Imagineering magic in the Enchanted Forest.
We now know that opening on December 6 will be the highly anticipated Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid attraction, Ariel’s Grotto meet and greet location, the Be Our Guest Restaurant, Gaston’s Tavern and Enchanted Tales with Belle character interaction experience as well as Bonjour! Village Gifts.
Previews of these attractions will begin November 19.
I know I am not alone in being ridiculously excited for these new attractions and experiences. I was lucky enough to step “behind the wall” a few of months back and it looks like it will live up to expectations and be a magical place to stroll through and explore.
The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train coaster and Princess Fairytale Hall Meet and Greet location will be opening at later dates, so watch for future announcements. What are you most looking forward to when Enchanted Forest officially opens?
Pretty much everything!!! Got a chance to ride Under the Sea: The Adventures of the Little Mermaid in California Adventure last September when we traveled to Disneyland for our 30th Anniversay. Very excited that it has come to Fantasyland 8:) We will be checking out Storybook Circus this September when we come up for our 31st but I am most excited about trying out the Be Our Guest Restaurant! I am on a daily watch to see when they will begin to take reservations. My DH and I will be there again on Dec 10th – 13th and plan to try both dinner and lunch 8:) ~ Goofy4Pooh
This is really wow!!! I just can’t wait to be there. The castle looks awesome, will be all the more mesmerizing in real!
