Thanks to Twitter for giving me the heads up about the Fantasyland soft opening of the Storybook Circus area. Since I couldn’t make it over today, extra special thanks to friend and theme park news hound Banks Lee for letting us share the Storybook Circus opening photos here!
As of right now, the interactive queue created for the dueling Dumbo attractions is not yet opened. We’ll keep you posted with any updates.
I am personally SO excited to see Humphrey the Bear in the parks. While he may belong in a National Park according to his backstory, he has always been a favorite character of mine and the possibility of getting Humphrey merchandise makes me giddy!

Friend and professional photographer David Manning just shared the following panoramic photos with me (click to enlarge):
Don’t forget to get your pilot’s license!
More to come when I get to the Magic Kingdom myself!
Thanks for the update Suzannah. I’ve been helping firends plan a trip (first timers) for April 18. Their kids are 2 and 5 and I was really hoping that they wouldn’t miss Dumbo. I think I’m more excited for them than for my own annual excursion to the world!!
Happy to share, Cathy! It’s always rewarding to help others plan for a great visit to the World! 😉 I hope your friends enjoy! The first time to Walt Disney World is always extra magical!
AWESOME! New it would be coming “any day now”…only wish that any day could have been while I was there two weeks ago *sigh* I’ll have to get back SOON!! XO
Yes! Always a reason to come back!! 😉
Great article. The new Dumbo looks great. But I REALLY hope they didnt use real peanut shells. My son is highly allergic. You wouldnt think they would be real but they sure look it.
I actually just confirmed with someone at Imagineering after getting your comment, that they are not real peanut shells, he’s pretty sure they are concrete. 🙂 Enjoy!
Oh thats great ! Thats a huge relief. I figured real ones would wear down and it was likely fake , but to us even the sight of a peanut makes us shudder. I really appreciate you asking ! Thanks 🙂
Thanks Suzannah,
Great pics!! Cant wait to see it in person,,,,,,,
Awesome update! Thanks for sharing!
