Now here's another little update for ya!!!!!!!!
Today Tom and I decided to finally hit the parks, park of choice ...... MK ........ and we really were lucky!!!!!!!!!
First off, we arrived 5 minutes after rope drop and the park is practically empty!!! Yippie, we had been to EMH two days before and left an hour into it as it was insane.
On the way to BTMR we run into Aladin and Jasmine, who ride the Flying Carpets with some guests (have photos to prove!)
Then we rode BTMR 5 times in a row in the VERY last row.
When walking to Tomorrowland we crossed through Fantasyland and stopped to wonder what all the steel construction is supposed to be for. While we still discussed a CM aproached us and offered to explain. Well, be my guest.
He was really knowledgeable and must have been a "higher" one, as he was one of those "walkie talkie guys". When he was done explaining he asked if we were around in the afternoon. Sure we will be around. Turns out they are doing previews of the new Beauty and the Beast Fantasyland Expansion experience and we might get lucky seeing it. So at the given time we criss cross the area and low and behold they are inviting people in. So after a while we mustered up some courage and asked if we were allowed to come in too!
And ........
WE WERE ALLOWED AND ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE NEW FANTASYLAND EXPANSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To put it in a nutshell ..... it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Here are some pics for you!
Outside queueing area
Inside Belle's father's cottage
the mirror turns into a door!!!!!! and you enter the Beast's castle that way!!!
The wardrobe does role call in the castle .........
And finally we all surprise Belle and recreate how she and the beast fell in love!
It is really spectacular and I cannot believe we were so lucky.
There are already carriage "marks" and hoof prints outside the cottage.
AND ........
another news.
I AM FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
On the way back to the car we walked past some really nice people who then turned around and said something. We stopped, thinking it was Tom's new hat attracting attention, but it turns out these are DISboarders who read my thread and recognized us!
CaroleRWO (hope I got that right
) thank you for stopping and saying hello! It was awesome meeting you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are still having loads of fun, even though our trip is coming to a close.
Out to dinner at Via Napoli now!
If you saw some people waving with white gloves, that was us!!!!!!!!
