Princess Fairy Tale Hall Adds A Marquee

01-princess-hall-new-fantasyland

Yesterday we looked in on the progress of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, the last piece of New Fantasyland and scheduled to open sometime in 2014. But before that day arrives, there’s one other element of the New Fantasyland changes that is set to open. Disney’s Imagineers have been working on changing the interior of the Princess Fairy Tale Hall from it’s incarnation of Snow White’s Scary Adventures into a space worthy of a queen, or princess in this case.

The hall, which is set to open this fall, will be the home to two Disney Princesses, Cinderella or Rapunzel, to start. Each accessible via a separate entrance. Each princess will also have a special guest, usually another Disney princess.

This week Disney’s Imagineers started installing some of the exterior elements of the meet and greet. More photos below the jump:

In fact it’s beginning to look like the Fantasyland equivalent of a highway rest area.

Come below the jump as we look over the wall at a much needed improvement to the guest flow and restroom availability in this corner of the Magic Kingdom.

We had a great time this past Friday tweeting about Tangled. Lots of laughs and re-tweets happened over the course of the 100 minute movie. It was tough to make a decision, but this month’s Master Tweeter is… I feel like she should brush her… Read More »Our February Master Tweeter is…

Videopolis: Nick Pitera covers “I see the Light” from Disney’s Tangled
