Twitter is a buzz right now with the soft opening of Fantasyland! Many different Disney World Bloggers are there now checking out the Fantasyland Expansion Rides and Attractions!

According to our friends at Touring Plans, Cast Members are saying that they expect New Fantasyland to be open every day after today barring any issues.

Great news if you are in the Orlando area and want to get a first hand look at all the new attractions in the Magic Kingdom. If you are there and want to send us some pictures just email them to me at chip@chipandco.com. Let me know how you would like me to credit you. I don’t mind giving a shout out to your blog or website.

They closed at 6 pm on the 12th. The line then was less than half an hour for stand by. They walked the line and closed the area around that time. The ride is almost just like DCA. The line is indoors or covered with rather smooth paths. It is relative wheeled friendly. I like that the restaurants are off to the side instead of paths. They put a little guard shack to the left of the entrance to Be Our Guest Restaurant. It provides shelter for greeters. I love love love the new Fantasyland.
