Re: WDW Fantasyland Expansion

My wife and I observed a group of (what appeared to be) 9 imagineers and management were walking Fantasyland on Monday 11/16 with blueprints in hand. Looked as if they were pacing things off. Obviously work on the expansion will commence very soon. Perhaps we'll see the construction walls going up as early as mid-January 2010 when crowds start to thin.

Just my opinion. TIFWIW

They've stated 2012 will be end of expansion, but does anyone know when the little mermaid ride will open as such, coz there in 2011 december.

From what I've read, The Little Mermaid will be open in 2012 with the rest of the phase one expansion. They probably would prefer to have the DCA version exclusive for a while to draw people in to DCA before stealing its thunder in WDW.

They need to implode Fantasyland now and start from scratch.

Just like Space Mountain's budget, its been cut drastically, a Mermaid Doll will not be added to Its a Small World. Thats the big change for now.

WDI and contractors have been walking all over Fantasyland lately. Today alone I saw some walking in ToonTown, and some examining Dumbo. What they were talking about, I'll keep that a surprise.
