This is the “old” version (filmed 2003) of the ride at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Enjoy!

April 2012 video. Honestly I thought the Fantasyland Expansion was supposed to open Spring 2012 – well it does appear that they are close but not there yet.

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s latest “attraction” just went into guest play testing. In Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, you are challenged by the Great Merlin to train and become a great Sorcerer and help to defeat Disney Villains who are threatening to take over the Magic Kingdom. This video features your favorite characters from The Princess And The Frog.

Interesting photo tour and commentary of construction going on at WDW including the Grand Floridian Expansion (Disney Vacation Club) as well as shots of Big Thunder Mountain, Fantasyland, and some other going-ons around the Magic Kingdom.

Video of all of the areas currently under construction. Notice the construction wall has been moved to cover all the way to where the old Dumbo ride was located. Storybook Circus is expected to open sometime in March.

More info about the FantasyLand Expansion:

The land is currently undergoing a large expansion and renovation. “The New Fantasyland will be constructed in phases with most new experiences open by 2013.”

Recent conceptual artwork for the expansion shows several new additions and changes. Included is a new dark ride themed to Disney’s 1989 film The Little Mermaid (also opening at Disney California Adventure) and an area themed to Disney’s 1991 film Beauty and the Beast featuring The Beast’s Castle with a new dining experience, Gaston’s tavern, and Belle’s cottage.

Snow White’s Scary Adventures will be removed and an area themed to Disney’s 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will be built. It will feature Snow White’s cottage and The Seven Dwarfs mine train roller coaster ride. Princess Fairytale Hall, a new Disney Princess meet and greet will be established where Snow White’s Scary Adventures currently exists.

Mickey’s Toontown Fair closed permanently in February 2011 in order to make way for the expansion. Some elements of Mickey’s Toontown Fair will be demolished and others will be re-themed to a new Storybook Circus area. An expanded Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride will be built with an interactive queue. The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm will be re-themed to The Great Goofini.”

This is from 1/29/2012! Excellent shots of the expansion if Fantasyland at WDW. Enjoy.

1/7/2012 Update: Hear the sights and sounds of Disney World while peaking on progress of the Fantasyland Expansion.

I commented “Boo, bring back the skyway”. You see, I think this is an awful upgrade, to prepare for an interactive queue for Peter Pan!?! OK, I don’t mind interactive queues, the wait for Peter Pan can be quite extensive, but really, is this the best we can hope for? I would rather the skyway return! And how does this make way for an interactive queue for Peter Pan, its on the opposite side of the path!

Here we go again! A new video on the Fantasyland Expansion at Disney World, Orlando:
