Opening Dates Announced for Disney’s Fantasyland Expansion!
Great News Disney has finally released dates and details on the Fantasyland Expansion Opening! While they are not opening all areas at once the area we have been waiting for is coming later this year.
Here are the details:
The next phase of Storybook Circus, which includes the second half of the Dumbo the Flying Elephant attraction and the Casey Jr. Splash ‘n’ Soak Station, will open in July 2012.
Disney will have plenty to celebrate the 2012 holiday season, including the openings of Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Be Our Guest Restaurant, Gaston’s Tavern, and Ariel’s Grotto. I would watch for a soft opening in November 2012.
Additionally, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will debut in 2014.
Now, who’s planning a visit?
