New Fantasyland August 2012 Construction Update
New Fantasyland is just a couple of months away from its Cast Member and Passholder Previews with soft openings and the grand opening to follow. So naturally we are moving quickly to a state of completion that brings with it some amazing visuals as more and more areas begin to resemble New Fantasyland’s concept artwork. Whether it is the castle wall spires making their glorious appearance, or freshly planted grass now overtaking the rocky coves of Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid, it is the numerous details that will really make New Fantasyland special in the minds of those that have the opportunity to visit.
It has been a fantastic journey following the New Fantasyland project from concept to reality here on Da Mouse. We are blessed to be able to share the experience, the joy, the anticipation and the myriad of other emotions that run through a Disney and Da Mouse fan as a dream like this becomes evermore concrete. So when we show a changing fantastic world at the Magic Kingdom, moving from steel and concrete to visions of Disney lore come to life, it is more than just a snapshot of time, it is a shared endeavor that we all in our own way add to. Whether you’ve left a comment on a New Fantasyland post, or posted a lamp pole within New Fantasyland there is no denying your involvement in something greater than the sum of its parts. And it is with all this in mind that we bring you our latest round of New Fantasyland imagery and we hope you enjoy.
I hope they do a soft opening in late oct when I’m there! It looks amazing. Thanks for the update
You are very welcome Bonnie.
It has been a blast following with Da Mouse the planning and construction of New Fantasyland. When all is completed, Fantasyland at Walt Disney World will truely be amazing. As I was ordering my tall latte extra shot extra hot this morning, I was wondering where in the Magic Kingdom Disney may place the planned Starbucks coffee shop. One possibility might be in those nifty little shops seen on the New Fantasyland model located on the backside of the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train opposite Ariel’s Grotto. After all, Starbucks’ logo is a two-tailed mermaid. Has anybody heard?
Glad to hear you have enjoyed the updates!
As far as the Starbucks location, one would think Main Street USA. The building directly behind the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is for Disney Vacation Club.
With Seven Dwarfs not opening for awhile, won’t that nice big steel structure be an eye sore once Be Our Guest/Little Mermaid opens? Or…maybe it will become better adorned over the next few months!
It is, though considering the Seven Dwarfs Mine Coaster is replacing what would have been two more elaborate meet and greets very few will be bothered by the construction. Not to mention that Seven Dwarfs Mine Coaster is an impressive sight that no doubt builds anticipation for what is to come in 2014.
I absolutely love this site. I go on it all the time to see the updates. We were just there in June for the first time and had a blast, now am planning a trip back with just the hubby in Early December 2014 when the whole New Fantasyland will be open, I’m so excited! Thank you for the wonderful images!
Thanks for all the love!
