Two pics from Fantasyland this morning. The first is on the bridge leading to the new restaurant (not yet open but you can peak inside) and the second is from the Arielle clamshell ride.

The next batch of attractions is scheduled to open by the end of the year. They are the princess laden "Enchanted Forest", which will include the "Under the Sea, Voyage of the Little Mermaid" ride

And that's the way it should stay!!!

WDWMagic has posted a schedule of soft opening/previews of the Enchanted Forest section of the new Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom...

Let's try this again. My last attempt went away... I'll be saving this as I go to make sure I don't loose it again.

My friend Joyce and I spent last weekend in a cabin at The Fort. We made it a point to visit Fantasyland since a new section was open for "dress rehersal".

The part that has been open the longest is near Tomorrowland Speedway.

The double Dumbo was open but I didn't get a good picture because of the angle of the sun.

Entry to Be Our Guest restaurant

Off the main lobby to the right is a room lined with armor. We were not allowed in; but, the CM told us it leads to the area where lunch orders are placed. Supper is seated.

Under The Sea Journey of the Little Mermaid

The entry reminds me of the Nemo Clamshell rise at Epcot.

This is the loading area

Soon after your clamshell begins moving, it turns around backwards (similar to Haunted Mansion) and you go under water

Look up...

Beautiful colors

Great pics! I took some of the same ones Sunday afternoon and evening. Also, just an FYI, a cast member told me (I know, I know. I should stop there based on my recent track record) that the dining room we saw in Be Our Guest was one of three that size. That's a LOT of tables and noise from the marble floors.
