BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I haven't been following the walkway project too closely but just came across this article that suggests that there's a lot more going on there. Still quite a bit of speculation, but the photos seem to suggest a lot more than a walkway and some bathrooms going on here.From Da Mouse. Follow the link for more photos... Fantasyland Tangled Walkway and Bathroom Construction Shows Lots of ProgressPosted by Raphael De Varona on August 10, 2012 in Magic Kingdom, Theme Parks | 5 commentsThough the Fantasyland Tangled themed Walkway and Bathrooms project has yet to be officially announced more and more signs are pointing towards that inevitability. Images recently leaked to the internet showing off some of the plans to create restrooms with the Tangled theme. Specifically it seems the area just outside the restrooms would include the floor-tile-sun that you might recall from the animated film. Our own photos show a building that is progressing rapidly and looks to be one of the restroom locations. Also of note is the addition of steel framework for the creation of rock work. There have been rumblings of a waterfall and small walkway bridge included on the site and perhaps that is what the rock work will be for. There is a ton more to show you just after the break in what is the most exciting update to this project since it all began.Whatever is finally built should provide a nice visual end-cap to this area. The project has expanded considerably in about a months time. A keen eye might notice that fresh sod has been placed atop the retaining wall. Could this be the location for a small water feature and a bridge to cross over into Liberty Square? Not sure what this base is for, could it be for Rapunzel’s tower instead of where we hypothesized before? If anyone knows more, be sure to let us know. The building on the right will probably house restrooms as well. As you can see the construction is visible from various angles within the Magic Kingdom making it aesthetically important. This gives a good sense of scale for the project and you can see how high the rock work steel framing rises. This is a high traffic area that no doubt will be well served by an extra pathway.http://damouse.com/2012/08/10/fantasyland-tangled-walkway-and-bathroom-construction-shows-lots-of-progress/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe (or at least hope) that the whole Pixie things is temporary on Disney's radar and dies off. I like Tink as the fairie that starts parades, fireworks, and when I was a kid The Wonderful World of Disney. But as a star in her own right...I just don't think she or the other fairies they've come up with are that likeable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Disney has announced that they are conducting play-testing of Enchanted Tales with Belle, part of the new Fantasyland expansion that is officially opening on December 6th, with previews beginning November 19.The testing is going on now through mid-September. Guests may be invited into the attraction periodically, and delays and closures without notice are possible. There is no guarantee that the attraction will remain open throughout the day. Once play-testing is complete, the attraction will be further refined in preparation for the official opening.Enchanted Tales with Belle is a storytelling experience that brings gusts into the world of Beauty and the Beast. Beginning in Maurice's workshop, guests step through an enchanted mirror to find they've been transported to Beast's library where Belle and Lumiere invite guests to participate in a re-telling of the Beauty and the Beast story.The experience can take up to 45 minutes and photography will be allowed (no external lighting or flash permitted).
