Beast's Castle appears in Fantasyland at Disney's Magic Kingdom - Construction Update

[Frickis]

it gonna be the 5th castle in america exept from cinderellla caste in magic kingdom, the castle in disnyeland., the castle on the vegas strip,. the castle on universal studios

[StellaC17]

CANT WAIT!!!! lol im going in a few weeks!!!!

[1mebeawesome]

belle's castle is actually very short they just made alot of features on it small to make it look tall

[Doomy23]

Is this at Disney Land or Disney World ?

[DisneyLoveQ]

@Doomy23 Disney World 

[theikoolshow123]

@Doomy23 it going to be at disney world

[SlaveToTheTheater]

Toon Town was dumb anyways.

[jsauce22]

i think this might lead to a new tangled show at hollywood studios where the beauty and the beast show once was... and move the beauty and the beast show to magic kingdom.. makes sense

[TgIiDgUiS]

yeah i heard this was opening in 2012.. i'm booking my flight now! =]=]=]

[SPONKTAGE]

i was just at disnet today,, i just got home and we asked about that im so excited the lady said that they were expanding on fantasyland and the rest she wasn't alowed to share with us :/



[disneyjoe101]

OMG. I know it is just a decoration, but wouldn't it be cool if they turned it into a ride? :D

[themikester06]

is this going to be the same height as the Cinderella castle?

[ConcietedMuchXD]

O M F G I CANNOT BREATHE

[MrArmadillo85]

Beauty and the Beast was my favorite disney movieeee

[Ackar10ben]

will you do another one of these for Prince Eric's castle please??

[connormistblade]

@Ackar10ben they are and there putting a little mermaid ride in it.

[iMusely]

You can go inside the Castle watch the Fantasyland expansion video..because it says that you can go into belle's library and hear her tell her story in her perspective..and there is also going to be the "be our guest" restraunt, so stop saying you can't go in the castle because you can.

[nirvanalover16]

i just really dont see the point in adding another "dumbo like" ride. they have enough kid rides already. i think they should add some more adult rides.

[shroomzwestside]

so it is true :'( goodbye toontown...we will miss your wackyness...

[Enivekdax17]

not gonna lie...i think that looks kinda dull...there isnt mush detail put into it...hope they fix tht

[macndoodle]

I understand why you can't go inside the castles but I really wish you could! It would be amazing! At first when I saw it I thought there would be a ride for it, but then I thought about it, and Cinderella doesn't have a ride so... yeah. And also I was JUST there in Disneyworld and I saw the sign for it, they are also building a Storybook Circus!

[mhguy77]

Sure doesn't look very big, even as a forced prospective. Its too small to convince me that its real.

[KerriCP]

@mhguy77 cant have it bigger than cinderella's castle, and that is short as well

[CaptainJSparrow1010]

one word WOW

[nirvanalover16]

its awesome that they keep adding new stuff to the parks..i wish they would add more to HS

[TheClass377]

@nirvanalover16 They are star tours 2 3D!

[originalprettybird]

I've been waiting since I was 12 to see this castle in person. Can't wait!!!

[imsocoolnot1010]

I can't wait! Just one more thing to look foward to in what is truly the best place on earth!

[xashleykamix]

I think it is meant to be 'forced perspective' but they've still got ALOT to do obviously, i don't think it's supposed to be like Hogwarts at IOA due to fact Cinderella's Castle isn't too far away - you don't want to confuse visitors. The 'Be Our Guest' restaurant is going to be inside the hill area underneath Beast's Castle NOT inside it.

[tonitayelliot]

Great, now lets get some torches and pitch forks and get the Beast!!!! :-)

[vigo894]

@tonitayelliot= Forget that. I'll get my trebuchet and a bus full of Visigoth warriors. Ha ha.

[ElizaShakiraMassani]

... the seven dwarfs mine carts ride(which they haven't started building yet) and then ariels new home and ride which is already being built and is not looking as good as beasts and belles castle but still looks pretty darn good!!! I am so excited !!!

[sentrakidsr20]

That seems like some drastic forced perspective ...I'm sure it will look amazing in the end but it just looks so tiny lol

[robertj668]

What was the music that was used in the video. It's funny we were just there last week. Cant wait to see the progress next month in late May.

[friendofvic]

@robertj668 It is licensed production music. An untitled background melody.

[MrMizunoYoshiki]

it looks kinda cheap compare to the one at the storybook canal boat in disneyland paris...

[LizaLou842]

beast Beast Castle!!!!

[Duncan35]

wow that was quick



[Animators2Dream]

The new castles and villages are behind Cinerellas Castle and are smaller than hers. I thought they would take away from her castle too but with the way they are building them it doesnt seem like they will compare to cinderellas size.

[CutesyBubblez]

wow - that seemed quick

[NatashaDumbeldore]

damn they're moving fast.

[Ackar10ben]

Best picture is 0:17 - 0:19

[ipodcrazy1996]

at the rate that they are going they are going they could be done by this holiday season because i was their at the end of feb. and all they had was the bottom start of the steel frame of beasts castle and they hadent even stared demo of the other things.

so anotherwords they are moveing FAST!!!!

[thebradchannel]

that looks awesome

[angeloflifelight]

They got rid of toon town and the Roger rabbit ride? Don't they already have Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty's castle of something?

[clevm002]

@angeloflifelight .. this is also gunna have something in it... its not just sitting there

[granvillimus]

@angeloflifelight Toon Town is just rethemed to a circus theme (the only thing removed are some houses from characters), with Dumbo moving over there with added capacity and Barnstormer getting a different theme (still there and the same ride). There was never a Roger Rabbit ride in Disney World Florida, that's at Disneyland California. This new Beast's Castle is also on the opposite end of Fantasyland and had nothing to do with Toon Town, it is in fact a NEW structure on totally unused space.

[dragonbrad98]

im gunna cry THEY TOOK AWAY TOON TOWN I LOVED TOON TOWN WAHH!!

[TheDeathMonkeyShow]

is it decoration or will there will something inside it?

[spiderpig846da2nd]

@TheDeathMonkeyShow i think theres a restaurant inside

[BusterMissy1]

@TheDeathMonkeyShow There will be a restaurant inside, it will be called "Be Our Guest Restaurant".

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

@BusterMissy1 Actually it won't be inside the castle. It will really be UNDER the castle. Just more secrets form Disney. :)

[princessmadiro]

Do you know if we will be able to go INSIDE the castle your showing on the mountain? or is it just for show? cause you said the restaurant is somewhere else?

[zach2992]

@princessmadiro It's going to have a meet and great as well as the "Be Our Guest" restaurant. Outside will be the Gaston quick service. Wikipedia now has a full explanation of what will be inside if you search "The Beast's Castle".

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

@princessmadiro The castle its self is just a decoration. All the rooms for the restaurant and other thing will really be in the hill under the castle (the castle will be on a hill).

[zach2992]

Sure it's cool and all, but does anyone else think it will take away from having Cinderella's castle? What is the size difference?

[afifanatic14]

@zach2992 That's exactly what my sister and I were thinking! Cinderella's castle is SUCH a staple of MK and it's cool that they're doing this for all of the princesses but it's gonna get confusing because cinderella's castle is pretty much the best place to meet at MK if you get separated from your group.

[cdgunzz97]

@zach2992 Trust me, the Cinderella Castle is way taller than the Beast's Castle. Beast's Castle is more of a decoration while the Cinderella Castle is the icon of the entire park!

[zach2992]

@cdgunzz97 Great. I feel like it's like Everest over-shadowing the tree of life.

[Quintinlicious]

Thats so awesome!

[PaganVanityRivers]

Is this Disney World or Disneyland?

[FigmentJedi]

@PaganVanityRivers Magic Kingdom at World. It's part of their Fantasyland Expansion

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

I don't know why everyone is saying that it is small because that is only the top. You can see that there is still lots of walls and frames that are going the be covered. Just look to the walls on the sides of the castle and the metal under it. All of that still needs to be covered. It won't be AS big as you might have thought it would be, but it will still be great.

[kycruisecrazy]

Looks very interesting. Can't wait to see how it all fits in!!!

[ShamuGuy42]

I thought this was gong to be much higher and more life sized than this -_- . But its still really pretty

[ShamuGuy42]

I thought this was gong to be much higher ans life sized than this -_- . But its still really pretty

[cdgunzz97]

Beautiful!

[Shimey013]

Can't wait, as sadded as i was to see toontown destroyed, i am HIGHLY excited for the fantasy land expansion... Beast Castle.. I CANT WAIT!!!

[TheBobbyLee0]

This is amazing

[swarlock]

Wow! Mom and I were just there two days ago.

[RorySeizeTheDay]

AWSOME!

[Hieagandaus]

at the rate they're going, they could have all of it done by early 2012!

[FigmentJedi]

@Hieagandaus I believe the opening for both Beast's Castle and Mermaid would be Fall 2012. They're making tracks on exterior, but there's still interior work to be done.

[LpJunior537]

@Hieagandaus i hope most of the expansion is open when i go next september. they work fast though

[SNLfanX21]

@Hieagandaus i think thats the plan

[shannyflips88]

Damn! that was pretty fast! I was there only 2 weeks ago and there was nothing<3 ahahahah awesome job Disney<3

[theory24]

Hooray!!!!!!! Cant wait to see it all completed!!

[kenpotensin]

Hot diggity dog! That's so cool! Can't wait to see the final product!

[McCracken257]

holy crap!! I saw a pic of it the other night but couldnt believe it was it. Im so excited! I cant believe people havent been talking about this.

[LionKingRulezAgain1]

by the time I go to Disney World again, this construction will be done

[fantasticmrmatthew]

OMG i cant wait until this is all over.

[TheLexalooloo]
