Thanks

Usually you don't need anything (unless it's for a specific group of people, like AP holders or CMs).

Hi everyone this is my first post so I apologise if the subject has been brought up before as I'm sure it has, I was just wondering if anyone has an idea when fantasyland will be complete and what it will consist of?

I've merged this thread into our existing thread on the Fantasyland opening which has a lot of the answers you're looking for.

we will be there in march 2013 and Jan 2014 but I dont think the mine train will be up and going in jan 2014 would love if it were but I highly doubt it will be

Me my girlfriend and our friends are looking to go back in October 2015 I'm hoping the new fantasyland will all be done by then, 3 years is just so long to wait

we only got back from Florida on Saturday after an amazing 3 weeks there, holiday blues doesn't even cover it more like depression, cannot wait to go back.

I'm super excited will be there Thursday, I just can't wait. I'm afraid the trip will go to fast. I never went as a kid so think I'm reliving my youth...lol just love Disney!! The pictures/videos of the new Fantasyland look amazing..

My guess is mid/summer 2014 for the ride (unfortunately I don't think it will open in Jan).

I was just there Saturday. They only have the main starting point of the ride. Here's a picture of what I could get with my phone:

I was there over the weekend for the soft opening. The Little Mermaid ride was pretty good, but a little disappointing. It is more like Peter Pan and Pooh. The queue was very cool though. Lots of detail leading to the ride. Gaston's Tavern was neat. Got to tour the Be Our Guest Restaurant. Very, very nice. Very cool ordering system. Didn't get a chance to eat lunch and dinner reservations are booked for about 6 months out. I'm really looking forward to them finishing the Seven Dwarfs Mining roller coaster.

I LOVE the new Fantasyland, it's all soooo Beautiful. Belle's fairytales is surprising and beautiful, love the little Mermaid ride, specially the way you go 'under the see' is cool.
And we had lunch yesterday at 'Be our guest' (yeeeeyyy) it is A-MA-ZING!!! Don't forget to look (or eat) in the west wing (Beast part). It is soooo beautiful and so many great details. And the food is yummie too, unbelieveble It costs just 1 QS meal there
