Last week I attended the Grand Opening of the New Fantasyland at Walt Disney World. I hadn’t been to Walt Disney World in probably 20 years or so. My daughters had never been. I still remember walking through Cinderella Castle the very first time – I was 6 years old – and seeing Fantasyland spread out on either side of me. It’s so vast and unbelievable that first time.
This trip was no less magical, and maybe even more so watching my daughters experience it for the first time.
There are a couple of words that get repeated over and over again when you are at Disney World – wishes, imagination and dreams. At the core of Fantasyland are those ideas that form the foundation of fairy tales. New Fantasyland expands on these themes in dramatic and incredibly engaging ways. The expansion of Dumbo into an entire Circus experience is whimsical and wonderful.
Belle’s Cottage, the Beast’s Castle and the little French village built around the Beauty and the Beast area is truly enchanting. And Ariel’s Under the Sea Ride brings you into that undersea world completely. It feels new in every way – from the technology to the artistic details.
For us, this trip was truly a holiday wish come true, an amazing vacation filled with take our breath away moments – especially the end of the evening castle projection show on Cinderella Castle.
Disney hosted me and my family for this trip, but all starry-eyed opinions are my own.
