Entertainment Changes in Fantasyland® at Disneyland® Park

Effective this morning, the meet and greet locations for Princesses inside Disneyland® Park has changed.

Guests will now find the Disney Princesses located along the path to the “it’s a small world®” attraction. This will serve as a temporary home for the Princesses while their new meet and greet location, Fantasy Faire, is under construction. The all-new Fantasy Faire will be located to the left of Sleeping Beauty Castle and is scheduled to open Spring 2013.

Crews will begin construction on the former meet and greet location today in preparation for a new show that will debut in the Fantasyland® Theatre in Summer 2013. While specific details of the new show have not been released, Disneyland® Park’s Creative Team has said it will be an original production. During this construction, the Troubadour Tavern will also be closed.

Walt Disney Imagineering has released these photos and artist renderings of the model for Fantasy Faire. We will bring you more as details become available about both Fantasy Faire and the new show at the Fantasyland® Theatre.

Images are Artistic renderings and models. Actual construction may differ.

Splitsville: Bowling Re-imagined

Hopefully your Saturday evening plans involve bowling in celebration of National Bowling Day!

Splitsville, America’s Bowling Alley, is currently under construction at Downtown Disney® West Side in the Walt Disney World® Resort and is scheduled to open this fall. The 50,000 square feet location with 30 lanes is not your traditional bowling alley – boasting an upscale menu and retro décor, two-story layout, flat-screen TVs and a family-friendly atmosphere.

Their menu contains no gutter balls: hand-tossed pizza, fresh-rolled sushi, grilled mahi-mahi with “Voodoo” shrimp and hand-cut filets alongside some alley-classics such as cheeseburgers and crinkle-cut fries can be ordered and enjoyed right at the lane.

Unlike the other four Splitsville locations in the US, the Downtown Disney® location will have a balcony with outdoor seating along with billiard tables and live entertainment. With a size and lane capacity of almost double its sister-locations, it will be a perfect place for families to have fun and make memories outside of the theme parks.

Enjoy these artist renderings of the upcoming location and a video of Guy Revelle, the Co-Founder of Splitsville, telling us what we can expect!

‘Lion King’ Family Suites Open at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort

This morning, the third phase of Disney’s Art of Animation Resort opened to the public.

Celebrating the journey of Simba through the Pride Lands of Africa, the courtyards contain landscaping and theming reflecting many favorite scenes from the Academy Award-winning animated film The Lion King. And inside the 320 themed family suites, guests can hang out with the wild residents of the Pride Lands while Timon and Pumbaa make a real splash in one of the suite’s two bathrooms. The second you walk through the door, it is hard to not adopt the duo’s “hakuna matata” philosophy!

With the opening of The Lion King wing, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort now has 1,120 family suites with two bathrooms, a kitchenette, and three separate sleeping areas that can sleep up to six guests. Other family suite theming options include Cars and Finding Nemo. The last phase of the Resort, the Little Mermaid wing, will offer standard rooms sleeping up to 4 guest. That wing will open Sep. 15.
