Hi Alexis!

all Guests visiting the Magic Kingdom beginning November 19th, 2012. If you are visiting between November 19th and December 5th, you'll have access to visit the area and its attractions indeed! You'll find mention of this news officially posted at the bottom of this latest post on the
Disney Parks Blog.
The area features the Beauty and the Beast themed Maurice's Cottage and Beast's Castle along with Enchanted Tales with Belle and the Be Our Guest Restaurant. Nearby you'll also find Prince Eric's Castle and the new, Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid attraction.
The official, Grand Opening and associated Media events for the New Fantasyland take place on December 6th, 2012.

In addition to the new areas opening in later November,
