We took to the skies today to bring you some theme park construction updates. In this update we’re taking a look at the Fantasyland expansion at the Magic Kingdom. The photo above gives you an overview of the huge area under construction. Scroll down for more photos and video. Click on any of the photos to view them larger.

The first area of the Fantasyland expansion will open later this month. It’s part of the Storybook Circus area. Here you can see some of the red construction walls already in place to guide guests to the open areas. The accessible areas will be one half of the new duel Dumbo rides, Barnstormer coaster staring The Great Goofini, and the Storybook Train Station.

Here’s a close-up of the new Dumbo ride. The spinner on the left is the brand new one. The one on the right is the old one they’re refurbishing and moving from its old location. It’s unknown if guests will be able to enter the tent for games when the area first opens. Notice the sign for The Barnstormer to the left of Dumbo.

The Barnstormer is the same roller coaster that was in Toontown, with a new theme. You can see a cannon on the left side that Goofy has supposedly shot out of and through a target. It also looks like the path leading to the side of Space Mountain in Tomorrowland may open when the area does.

The train station looks good, but it looks like the water play area featuring Casey Jr. won’t be open right away. The circus tents for Pete’s Silly Sideshow and Big Top Souvenirs won’t be open at first either.

Construction has started for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride. But this ride will be the last to open, in 2014.

This is the Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid ride entrance and show building. Prince Eric’s castle is looking good.

This is the Beauty an the Beast area of Fantasyland. Notice the bridge being installed in the bottom left and what looks like a walkway into Beast’s Castle where the Be Our Guest restaurant will be. At the bottom is the village area with Gaston’s Tavern and at the top is Belle’s Cottage and Maurice’s Workshop.

Here’s a video of our flyover:

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!!!

First Look: Walt Disney Imagineers Offer a Taste of the Be Our Guest Restaurant

posted on March 8th, 2012 by Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Social Media Manager

“Be our guest! Be our guest! Put our service to the test!” Or so the song goes. Who doesn’t love this playful scene from “Beauty and The Beast,” in which the enchanted staff welcomes Belle to the castle in grand style?

And speaking of “style,” Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) has been busy recreating the castle’s very detailed beauty in the form of the Be Our Guest Restaurant in New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park.

In this video, provided by WDI, Senior Concept Designer Ted Robledo presents our very first sneak peek inside this highly anticipated restaurant. Imagineers recently put the finishing touches on one of its major elements: a massive mural that will serve as the restaurant’s backdrop. Here, Ted shows how WDI combined digital technology with traditional artistry to create a sweeping landscape that gives guests the feeling that they really are walking into a part of the film.

The restaurant looks amazing! Very cool with the mural, and how they will have snow outside the windows. Can't wait to see the menus, both the sit down dinner menu and the CS lunch one. From what I can see, the restaurant hasn't been added to the Disney Dining site yet for ADR's. I imagine that will happen fairly soon.

Lots of updates, but the biggie is that they did a soft opening of Storybook Circus today!!

Part 1 from WDW Magic...

PHOTOS (updated 3pm EDT) - Storybook Circus soft opening, including new Dumbo, Barnstormer, and Fantasyland Train Station

Mar 12, 2012

Storybook Circus soft opened to guests at 10:45am this morning and we have a complete photo walkthrough of the new land. During this soft open, one side of Dumbo is working (excluding the new interactive indoor queue), along with the Barnstormer, the Fantasyland Train Station, and the new Fantasyland restrooms. And yes, very pleased to report that Dumbo does now fly over water and fountains!

Just as with the old Toontown, it did not take long for the new land to become very busy. After just an hour, Dumbo and the Barnstormer both had 45 minute waits.

The new land has some great details, far above that of the old Toontown Fair, including references to Carolwood at the train station. We will save our detailed look and thoughts for when the land is completed, but these photos should give you an idea of how good this new land will be when complete.

Talk with other fans about the opening of this new land on our discussion forums.

As always, click on the thumbnails to view the large versions.

PHOTOS - Construction walls down at the Fantasyland station giving a glimpse of Storybook Circus

Mar 09, 2012

The construction walls around the brand new Fantasyland Train Station are now down, giving guests a glimpse into Storybook Circus and the Barnstormer area. This area is expected to open later this month, so is very near to completion.

Another change in the construction wall positioning has taken place near the entrance of Storybook Circus by the Teacups attraction. The walls here are now lower, exposing the inner construction walls that we first saw in a previous aerial photo.

Head to the photos for a look at both these areas, and as always, click the thumbnails to view the large versions.

WDWNT Reporter Adam Roth brings us the first on-ride video of The Barnstormer starring the Great Goofini. The track is still the same, but there are two new props for guests to “crash” though and a very different atmosphere with the Storybook Circus all around:

An In-Depth Look at New Fantasyland’s Storybook Circus

Mar 12, 2012 by wdwntadmin

While we wait for more pictures and video, I decided to post WDWNT Reporter Adam Roth’s twitter pictures of today’s Storybook Circus opening. Let’s take a closer look at the first piece of the New Fantasyland puzzle:

536562514-L.jpg

Dumbo looks great in the new pastel colors!

The back of the Barnstormer sign has a reference to Wiseacre Farm from Toontown Fair

A look inside Storybook Circus as first part of New Fantasyland opens – Photos – Video

Mar 122012 Filed under: Disney, Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World Posted by: Anthony Armenia

photo-550x412.jpg

This morning Walt Disney World opened the first phase of the New Fantasyland expansion in a soft opening of part of Storybook Circus at the Magic Kingdom park. The attractions that opened this morning for the first time include Barnstormer featuring The Great Goofini, one spinner of the dueling Dumbos and the Fantasyland Train Station.

First, let’s take a video stroll through the whole area:

Dumbo is now featured on the front cover of the Magic Kingdom Guide Map.

It is very colorful and has water features surrounding its base.

Barnstormer has now opened with a new circus themed featuring The Great Goofini and other themed elements.

Storybook Circus – Dumbo The Flying Elephant, More Details

Posted on March 15, 2012 by John Frost

dumbo-night-tilt-500x375.jpg

A little tilt-shift fun. It’s really beautiful at night.

I’ve already posted my general overview of the soft-opened Storybook Circus area of New Fantasyland, but Disney is in the details and Storybook Circus has a lot of them. To capture more of that magic, I want to loop back and go into more depth with each attraction starting with Dumbo The Flying Elephant. So here’s another photo update of the newly re-imagineered classic.

dumbo-night-wide-500x339.jpg

The area isn’t even finished, but it already looks beautiful at night.

I also took a couple of videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qwrHZyN-Ys

01-storybookcircus-dumbo-entrance-1-500x377.jpg

Only one side of the area is open, so everything looks a bit unbalanced yet.

01-storybookcircus-dumbo-sign-3-500x375.jpg

A closer look at the sign reveals this will eventually be the fastpass side.

01-storybookcircus-dumbo-entrance-2.jpg

A ride divided.

01-storybookcircus-dumbo-entrance-3-500x360.jpg

Lots of rope-queue for now. In theory every one will wait inside in an interactive queue in the future.

01-storybookcircus-dumbo-entrance-4-500x382.jpg

Gone are the fun elephant stacks on top of the light poles.

01-storybookcircus-dumbo-area-1.jpg

But there are lots of great touches like this everywhere.

01-storybookcircus-dumbo-area-2-500x352.jpg

Plenty of fans to keep the crowds cool.

The first area of the new Fantasyland expansion at the Magic Kingdom, Storybook Circus, is now scheduled to officially open at noon on Wednesday, March 21.

There is work planned on the pavement which must be done during daylight hours on this date.

The WDW Railroad Fantasyland Station will not yet be open. The train will operate as scheduled, but guests will not be able to disembark at this station.

Storybook Circus is currently in soft opening phase, which means attractions may go up/down at any time while Disney continues to test/refine things.

From MousePlanet...

The first part of the New Fantasyland expansion is now open to the public, as a portion of Storybook Circus began a soft-opening (dress rehearsal) phase just before 11 a.m. last Monday, March 12. This is not surprising, as the official Walt Disney World website has listed the Dumbo the Flying Elephant attraction as being closed through March 11 since mid-January. The entirety of Storybook Circus is not yet open, however, as the wet play area themed to Casey Jr. and the merchandise, snack, and character meeting locations are still under wraps.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant has one of its two spinners open. The new (clockwise) spinner looks wonderful, with a water feature inside and below the elephants, and the top of the spinner's hub decorated with storks and images of Mrs. Jumbo's face. The colors are vibrant, and the attraction now has a soundtrack with a circus feel to it. The interactive queue is not yet open. The original Dumbo spinner from behind Cinderella Castle is now back in the shop for refurbishment to the new design and color scheme, and will join its sister spinner later this year.

The Barnstormer featuring Goofy as The Great Goofini (an even longer name than The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wise Acre Farm) is a complete retheming of the small roller coaster. Goofy is now the circus' daredevil, serving as human (dog?) cannonball, "bear wrassler," and stunt water skier. His cannon and targets are placed throughout the area. In fact, several of the targets are placed horizontally to provide shade over the queue. The planes' route still flies through several obstacles, in theme with Goofy's questionable piloting skills. The coaster is easily visible from Dumbo.

The Walt Disney World Railroad's new Fantasyland Station is also open, with a beautiful new design reminiscent of Walt Disney's Carolwood Pacific barn that now resides at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. The station area also includes a wonderful restroom facility.

The area's official opening is reportedly scheduled for this Wednesday, March 21. The area will be opening late that day to allow the opening ceremony to take place after park opening. We'll have more in-depth coverage in next week's Update.
