[hogwartsprincess]

Can you still access Disney's philarmagic and all the rides in that far right hand section of fantasyland or is the whole of fantasyland closed ?

[AttractionsMagazine]

@hogwartsprincess You can still access all of the current Fantasyland. The only section that has closed so far is Toontown.

[GrumpyBearChemo]

will any of it be open in september 2012?

[TOMASlecuona]

@GrumpyBearChemo  the fantasyland expansion will open by phases but it is supossed to be completely finished by late Autumn of 2012

[SGarv04]

love these videos! you should do fly overs of all the parks

[TonyMProductions]

Is the Little Mermaid ride gonna be the same as in CA?

[AttractionsMagazine]

@TonyMProductions Yes, it should be exactly the same on the inside.

[AHurricaneProduction]

@AttractionsMagazine Little Mermaid is going to be a little different than the one in DCA.

[sentrakidsr20]

@ManEatingSharks Where on property do you work ? I use to do attractions at MK but now i'm at Disneyquest and Jellyrolls

[medievalman86]

I wish i knew how a diesel mechanic/mechanic could find career lvl work at disney world (Excluding the busses :P)

[McCracken257]

wow this video is amazing! Thanks !!

[sentrakidsr20]

@ManEatingSharks I know, I was just talking about other comments ive seen and comments in general

[theory24]

I CANT WAIT!! XD!!

[CTCoasterDan]

How big is Beast's Castle in comparison to Cinderella's Castle?

[AttractionsMagazine]

@CTCoasterDan The castle itself is tiny. You can see both in the video.

[CutesyBubblez]

@CTCoasterDan They're right, it's really tiny. I'd guess 30 ft tall. But through the forced perspective technique it appears like it's way in the distance, even though it's not, which makes it look like a towering castle.

[p3dro180mcr]

MAN I CANT WAIT! IM SOO EXCITED!

[sentrakidsr20]

I love reading the theories of the people that have never been backstage or even seen the utilidoors....Being a Castmemeber FTW !!

[swarlock]

They're making great progress.

[watermelon13slushie]

I'm going in December

PUMPEDDDDDDD

:)

[magnifyit1]

@watermelon13slushie no it opens next year and some other parts in 2013

[LizaLou842]

@watermelon13slushie if you are going around christmas, you should goto Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It costs extra to get in but it is so magical! And they give out free cookies and hot cocoa... YUM(:

[Ackar10ben]

Great!! Will you be doing a walkthrough of the new Fantasyland?

[dylan147147]

recon music? haha!

[lissettebaybee]

im going to disney in august! im crossing my fingers itll be done by then!

[magnifyit1]

@lissettebaybee no it opens next year and some other parts in 2013

[Hieagandaus]

Dont you mean 2011? not 20111.

The mine train has a small area,maybe it will be mostly underground.

[NatashaDumbeldore]

@Hieagandaus it won't be underground because underneath the park there is a series of tunnels called "utillidoors" (which aren't underground. They were built and then the park was built on top of them.) so the imagineers wouldn't be able to make the ride go under the park without altering the utilidoors.

[Hieagandaus]

@NatashaDumbeldore maybe the land they're building on is already raised by 14 ft. so ''underground'' meaning sea level.I'm not even sure if there's utilidoors in that area because there hasn't been anything there in the past,besides 20,000 leagues

[NatashaDumbeldore]

@Hieagandaus I know that the are where the 20,000 leagues under the sea ride doesn't have utilidoors but that ride was more toward where the storybook circus will be.They could raise the area for the mine train but they'll probably just make that building taller so they could have plenty of space for the ride and that way it could also look more impressive. Kinda like the splash mountain only with Snow White and without the drops.

[lycraboy76]

@NatashaDumbeldore actually, not on that side of the park, since it was undeveloped land before. There arent any tunnels there which allowed them to do more work with water and natural plantlife

[NatashaDumbeldore]

@lycraboy76 I'm not sure what you mean exactly. I know that there are tunnels...well at least a tunnel under fantasyland but there are areas in fantasyland that don't have tunnels but what is it that you're saying exactly.

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

@lycraboy76 Well they could always build more tunnels. They bought all that land that WDW sits on so they would have a lot of room to expand all the parks so they must have plans to build all the stuff they need.

[DGDXanimation]

I wish this opens in August
