New’ Fantasyland set to open

Walt Disney World will unveil its new Fantasyland in Florida on Dec. 6, following the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom history. Slated to make their debuts are: !!! Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid, a major attraction where guests will travel with Ariel and her friends through their exciting adventures above and below the waves – all against a musical backdrop of songs from the film. The new attraction combines the enduring appeal of a classic Disney “dark ride”with technological innovations to offer guests a personal journey into the scenes of the film. !!! The castle of the Beast stands majestically upon a hill across an old stone bridge from Ariel’s new home. The Be Our Guest Restaurant will feature a lavish dining experience in the elegant ballroom, gallery and mysterious “West Wing”of the castle. With seating for 550, this facility will offer “great food fast”service by day and full-service table dining in the evening. Nearby in Belle’s Village, guests will find the rousing Gaston’s Tavern and Bonjour! Village Gifts. !!! Just outside the village is Maurice’s cottage and Enchanted Tales with Belle. The adventure begins in Maurice’s workshop, where an enchanted mirror is the doorway to a captivating new kind of storytelling experience: guests will be transported to the Beast’s library to meet Belle and Lumiere, and share in a lively, interactive re-telling of the “tale as old as time.”(http://www.disneytravelagents.ca)
