Character meet and greets are all fine and good, but scarcely qualify as a true attraction. Gosh, how long has it been since a major new ride has been added to Fantasyland (theaters don't really count for this purpose)? It would be great to see a state-of-the-art major attraction designed to appeal to the youngest Mouseketeers come along at some point. For some reason all the big $$ rides have to be rollercoasters (which I actually love). I want to see a no expense spared dark ride (or something that serves the same role as a dark ride) for Fantasyland in any expansion plans. Come on guys, MK Fantasyland is the last place you want to look like you're just trying to sell merchandise and have forgotten about the magic! Do something amazing there! All that said, I can't wait until February when we'll be visiting WDW for our first ever Disney Cruise (or any other type of cruise for that matter), wish us luck. ;) I haven’t studied the blueprint for Fantasyland very carefully, but it doesn’t sound terribly impressive for a major expansion to Disney’s crown jewel park, and Fantasyland is probably its most important spot.

I hope such a JTTCOTE ride would come with a few other Beastly attractions as well!
