Updating Magic Kingdom
Wow! Disney is redesigning Fantasyland!! This will be the largest overhaul in the theme parks 36-year history!
Here are some highlights of what is to come:
- New ride based on ‘The Little Mermaid’- an enclosed ride that will carry guests through Ariel’s underwater realm.
- New meet-and-greet Pixie Hollow, home to Tinker Bell and fairies!! My daughter can’t wait for this one!
- Expansion of ‘Dumbo’ attraction- double the size with a circus atmosphere and interactive queue to entertain children waiting in line.
- Greater focus on princesses, such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty & Belle- dances with Cinderella and play a role with Belle in a performance!!
- Update with 3-D effects of Star Tours attraction (this is at Disney Hollywood Studios)
These all sound like awesome plans and will take some time to complete. The overhaul will be finished by 2013. The refurbished Star Tours will debut in 2011 at Disney Hollywood Studios.
I have a 6 year old daughter who has grown up going to Disney parks and I know any advances Disney makes to the parks will be as exciting to her
as any child going to Disney for the first time!! Disney also said they will incorporate some villains from some of the movies to appeal more to boys.
We will be anxiously awaiting these new upgrades to Magic Kingdom and we hope you and your family will come see the magic that is going on
right now at all of the theme parks around Orlando!
