We our taking our niece and her parents to Disney World for the first time December 19-23. What parts of the fantasyland expansion will be ready by then?

Hello Sandra! One of the most MAGICAL times to visit Walt Disney World is during the Christmas season! Your family is going to have an incredible time! As you probably know, the first phase of the Fantasyland Expansion is already open! This includes The Barnstormer, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and Fantasyland Train Station all located in the Storybook Circus area. In July 2012, the second phase of Storybook Circus will open, including the second half of Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Casey Jr. Splash ‘n’ Soak Station. Now, get ready for some incredible news! When you are there in December, Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Be Our Guest Restaurant, Gaston’s Tavern, and Ariel’s Grotto are all expected to be open! All I can say is WOO HOO! If you have other questions, please let me know! Have a MAGICAL day! Wes
