[Question] When does MK Fantasyland begin it's transformation?

[LuckyJack65]

I'm writing from northeast Indiana...any news on when Fantasyland goes under the knife??? Our family is making plans for a May 2010 vacation, and we'd like to see Toontown Fair before it's dismantled!
The family is excited about the "new Fantasyland", but the adults are concerned that the kids will be in high school before it's completed and miss out on the childhood magic.
Anyone have timelines??

Construction might have already started!

Nothing major though, just setting up trucks

I'd look for walls in January.

There were many walls up already when I was there last weekend. Mainly on the buildings they will probably be keeping.

"The dream begins late 2010"

Where is the quote from? That makes it sound like they won't even start contruction until late 2010 for a 2012 opening. I still doubt they are going to do the new fantasyland. I won't be convinced until I see contruction walls. Until them, it could easily go the way of so many other Disney attractions that have been announced and then fast passed to Yesturland.

Not sure if it's related, but there was a crane behind Pooh's Thotful Spot this weekend.

Walls are already beginning to come up around Fantasyland.

Yeah, but thats nothing unusual. There are tons of them around the food stands in Frontierland all day long. They're just hungry.

I noticed the crane on Nov 30th also, and was wondering if they had begun some work already. It wasn't very noticible but I caught a quick glimpse of it through the trees.

You know, when I started at the company and I had the options of Backlot Tour, Frontierland, Safari or Fantasyland, I took Fantasyland wincingly. But, I'm glad I have stuck around. I'll get to be part of all of the new land.

No they are not. those walls are only around existing building that are getting a fresh coat of paint as routine maintaince. This has nothing to do with anything new being built.

Re: When does MK Fantasyland begin it's transformation?

Thanks for all the great info friends! My family is very excited about the transformation. Personally, I'm looking forward to the Big Top going up for Dumbo! That was the first ride I went on in 1975 on Thanksgiving Day! My wife is looking forward to Pixie Hollow!
Again, thanks for everyone's help!

Merry Christmas to all:ghug::ghug::ghug:

ORWEN: When us Cauldron girls went to the Magic Kingdom a little over a week ago, we asked a couple of different cast members when the construction would begin and they told us it already had--back behind the Winnie the Pooh Meet and Greet area. Also, they pointed out that there is more construction going on behind Pete's Garage in Toon Town.
