Disneyland’s Fantasy Faire was built upon an area known as the Carnation Plaza Gardens. For years it featured evening swing dancing, but not a great deal more. It was demolished to bring this grand, new meet and greet area for Disney Princesses. It maintains the same gothic styling as Fantasyland behind the castle, but has a more open village feeling. It will be located to the left of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
There are two main areas of Fantasy Faire: Royal Hall and Royal Theater. Royal Hall will be the primary meet and greet location for Disney Princesses which features a couple of nice interactive elements in “Clopin’s Music Box” and Gepetto’s cat Figaro napping upon a window sill. “Clopin’s Music Box” is a mechanical wonder that displays the Feast of Fools scene from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”
The Royal Theater is the primary location of Princess storytelling. There will be two different shows presented featuring Belle and Rapunzel. They story will be presented by Mr. Jones and Mr. Smythe who are Renaissance style storytellers who desire to bring these stories to life. They will be joined by Belle and Rapunzel who will meet and greet at the conclusion of the story.
Disney is continuing its plans to recreate all the dresses that the Princesses wear in the theme parks. The trend began with Cinderella receiving a new look for her meet and greets. On or about February 3, 2013 Belle will receive a new gold ball gown, hairstyle and accouterments. She typically only wears the gold dress at Enchanted Tales with Belle, so it would be my guess that this would be the only location to see her in this new outfit.
It appears that Belle is leaving Town Square Theater tomorrow and Aurora is moving back into the the Theater with Cinderella and Rapunzel. Snow White will move from the street in Town Square to the Courtyard area next to City Hall.
Pete’s Silly Sideshow’s state hours are park open to one hour before close.
I’ve heard that Gaston is currently meeting from 10:00am to 6:00pm. I’ll need to check on Ariel’s meet and greet. The schedules should start to become more regular soon (I hope).
With Belle working toward relocating to New Fantasyland, she will no longer meet soon at Cinderella’s Royal Table for any meals. Jasmine is now taking her place on a regular basis.
Belle will soon be leaving Town Square Theater and Aurora will fill her spot leaving three blondes in TST, Rapunzel, Aurora, Cinderella. I’ve heard this could occur as early as later this week. When this occurs, one will only be able to meet Belle at Epcot for standard meet and greets with autograph opportunities.
