		<description><![CDATA[You might have heard Walt Disney World announced a new Fantasyland back in September.
Back then they released this painting:

The Fantasyland Forest expansion will be complete in 2013 and feature mostly new Princess themed attractions, restaurants and character meet-and-greet areas.
Lost will be most of Mickey&#8217;s Toontown Fair (including Mickey&#8217;s house &#8230; odd) and the 20,000 Leagues [...]]]></description>

<p>Back then they released this painting:</p>
<p><a href="http://joshedwards.com/2010/02/24/new-fantastyland-at-wdw/20100224_fantasyland_01/" rel="attachment wp-att-129"><img src="http://joshedwards.com/wp-content/uploads/20100224_fantasyland_01-400x173.jpg" alt="Fantasyland visual development" title="20100224_fantasyland_01" width="400" height="173" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-129" /></a></p>
<p>The <strong>Fantasyland Forest</strong> expansion will be complete in 2013 and feature mostly new Princess themed attractions, restaurants and character meet-and-greet areas.</p>
<p>Lost will be most of <strong>Mickey&#8217;s Toontown Fair</strong> (including Mickey&#8217;s house &#8230; odd) and the <strong>20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage</strong> attraction that&#8217;s been closed for over 15 years, anyway.</p>
<p>The most anticipated new attraction is <strong>Under the Sea: Journey of The Little Mermaid</strong> that will take you literally under the sea in an Omnimover system (like the Haunted Mansion) and be identical to the one being built right now out at Disney&#8217;s California Adventure in Anaheim.</p>
<p>Recently I came across this model which is easier to decipher than the painting.  Someone else (sadly, I don&#8217;t remember who) has labelled the attractions and buildings:</p>
<p><a href="http://joshedwards.com/2010/02/24/new-fantastyland-at-wdw/20100224_fantasyland_02/" rel="attachment wp-att-130"><img src="http://joshedwards.com/wp-content/uploads/20100224_fantasyland_02-400x138.jpg" alt="New Fantasyland model" title="20100224_fantasyland_02" width="400" height="138" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-130" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://joshedwards.com/2010/02/24/new-fantastyland-at-wdw/20100224_fantasyland_03/" rel="attachment wp-att-131"><img src="http://joshedwards.com/wp-content/uploads/20100224_fantasyland_03-400x138.jpg" alt="New Fantasyland model with labels" title="20100224_fantasyland_03" width="400" height="138" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-131" /></a></p>
<p>To give you a better idea of the current layout, here&#8217;s a map of the land as it stand now:</p>
<p><a href="http://joshedwards.com/2010/02/24/new-fantastyland-at-wdw/20100224_map/" rel="attachment wp-att-132"><img src="http://joshedwards.com/wp-content/uploads/20100224_map-400x208.jpg" alt="Fantastyland map" title="20100224_map" width="400" height="208" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-132" /></a></p>
<p>And here&#8217;s a Google map photo:</p>
<p><a href="http://joshedwards.com/2010/02/24/new-fantastyland-at-wdw/20100224_fantasyland_04/" rel="attachment wp-att-133"><img src="http://joshedwards.com/wp-content/uploads/20100224_fantasyland_04-400x248.jpg" alt="Fantastyland photo" title="20100224_fantasyland_04" width="400" height="248" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-133" /></a></p>
<p>Overall I&#8217;m not terribly excited, but it can&#8217;t be any worse than closing Mr Toad for the Winnie the Pooh ride.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Oddly Jim Hill has a story about this expansion today!
