Fantasyland Updates and Work On Main street USA

In case you didn’t realise, Magic Kingdom is seeing a major update to Fantasyland that should be open to the public in 2012 and already parts of the parks are being closed off to the public so people cannot see what the Disney imagineers are up too. However it would seem that a lot of the park is currently under renovation at the moment.

Main Street

Shops down Main Street are receiving updates at the moment and whilst they are all still open it just makes the place look a bit untidy. A couple of these have been like this since I was last in the park in late August of last year so I have no idea what the plans are for these shops. The fact that they are still open must mean that it is simply the exterior that is being changed rather than the type of shop on the inside but who knows when it comes to Disney.

Fantasyland

As any Disney fan will know, this is  big, in fact, bigger than big, its Disney’s biggest project since the Animal Kingdom was announced and a whole new overhaul of Fantasyland is currently in the works. At the moment it would seem that nothing has closed within the section of the park but I am wondering how long this will last. Expect Toontown to be closing as well completely later this year to make way for the new plans on the park. There are going to be new rides, new attractions and new ways to interact with your favourite Disney characters, I will be blogging on the individual things to be going into the park so keep your eyes peeled for more information on this as it comes.

As it stands at the moment, Pooh’s Playful Spot (despite being quite new), Ariel’s Grotto and Scuttle’s Landing have all closed.

Other than this all of the main attractions are said to remain open during this massive update on the land.
