An Invitation to join us in celebrating the biggest story in Magic Kingdom history …the Grand Opening of New Fantasyland

Disney delivered magical invitations to select media to invite them to join in the celebration! The Grand Opening is an invitation only event and if you received one of these magical packages then you were invited! Inside the package was a book titled,  “The Story of New Fantasyland,” and a subtitle “The biggest, most enchanting expansion in Magic Kingdom history.”

The grand opening, Dec. 5–7, is for the select few that Disney is giving the pre show too, but do not worry if you did not receive one of these because Disney is letting anyone who wants to see the next phase of the New Fantasyland tour it on December 6th. The following new attractions will be showcased:

  • Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
  • Ariel’s Grotto
  • Be Our Guest Restaurant

Storybook Circus is Big Fun Under the Big Top for Fantasyland Guests

Storybook Circus is Big Fun Under the Big Top for Fantasyland Guests

Magic Kingdom guests blink back in amazement at the scene: not one, but two colorful Dumbos spinning through the sky above Storybook Circus.

To the delight of fans of the beloved Dumbo, the Flying Elephant attraction, a second Dumbo has taken its place alongside a Dumbo that opened in March. Storybook Circus is just one part of the multiyear, largest expansion of Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom history. More exciting new attractions in New Fantasyland come on stream soon.

Not only are two Dumbos, side by side, unprecedented for a Disney park anywhere in the world, they even fly in opposite directions: one clockwise, the other counterclockwise. A real circus act, if you will.

“Fly” is just the sensation guests get aboard the Dumbo-shaped vehicles of Dumbo, the Flying Elephant. Young and old alike delight in controlling the up-and-down movement of their vehicles with the simple maneuver of a lever.

Both Dumbos feature shiny new red and gold colors (inspired by ’50s- and ’60s-era tin toys), beautiful newly-created signature illustrations from Disney animators and a new water feature circling the base of both attractions – a first for Dumbo.

The two Dumbos are connected to a new “big top” area allowing guests to immerse themselves in circus lore in a series of fun, interactive experiences before a spin with their favorite circus elephant.

Guests receive a circus ticket pager that virtually holds their place and notifies them when it’s their turn to board either Dumbo. In the meantime, fun-filled games and experiences are theirs to enjoy – in air-conditioned comfort. Guests electing the FASTPASS option bypass the tent en route to their flight with Dumbo.
