Enchanted Tales with Belle- New video!

So, the last video I saw about Enchanted Tales with Belle Disney showed Maurice's cottage and after you walked through you went through a Magic Mirror and the video ended.  Here is what happens after you walk through the magic mirror!!  So cool!!

Oh, please Disney give me a chance to see all of this!!  I will take lots of pictures to help spread the word!!

New Nighttime Show for Magic Kingdom

November is going to be a very busy month for the Magic Kingdom!  Not only is the Fantasyland Expansion Preview starting and the Christmas Party in full swing, now they are adding a new night time show called Celebrate the Magic!  It looks really cool!  Kind of like they are bringing World of Color from Disneyland over to the Magic Kingdom! 

Now, my question is are they still going to have the castle lit up for Christmas too?  I would really miss it if they didn't because it is one of the things that I love about going in November.  It is so magical to see the lights glittering on the castle!

True to Disney form, no starting date has been announced, just November, so we'll have to keep you updated.  Knowing my luck lately, it will start the day after we are suppose to leave!

New Update!

So sorry I haven't finished out itinerary yet!  School started and it's been crazy getting everything done.  But, it is WONDERFUL having 4 kids in school now!! 
Well, guess what?  I took the plunge and added another day onto our already long vacation!  I just couldn't sleep knowing that we were going to miss the Fantasyland expansion by one day.  It was just too much.  2 weeks I could have handled or even 1 week, but one single day was too depressing. 
So, now I'm going to be busy figuring out how to stretch dining credits to the max because we had to book a room only deal for the last day because free dining was not available for our resort anymore. 
I'll keep you updated...

Fantasyland Expansion Shock and more about trip

So, I'm finally getting over the shock of not being there for the Fantasyland Expansion opening and the previews-by 1 Day!!!!  I debated and debated adding the one additional day, but with school conferences starting that day I just couldn't do it.  It's really depressing though.  I'm hoping and praying that a little pixie dust will come my way and they will have a soft-opening on one of the days that we are at the Magic Kingdom.  If not, I will just have to get myself over that wall :-) 

Ok, so now where was I on my itinerary?  Day 3.  This is our first day at Epcot and one that I thought was going to be free of the Food & Wine Festival, but as always Disney surprised me and added one more day to the Festival and of course it was my day at Epcot.  Oh well, I already have our Princess Meal scheduled for lunch so I really don't want to change it.  My plan is to totally avoid the World Showcase altogether except for our lunch in Norway.  I know a lot of people really like this food bonanza, but it is way to crowded for us.  So, anyway, we will start the day by getting to the bus stop an hour earlier than opening and then wait for the gates to open.  We will then head straight to Soarin and some of us will ride while the other waits with the baby.  We'll probably get a baby wait pass, but I'm not sure.  Next, we'll head over to Mission Space and see if pixie dust was spread and Test Track is open.  Then, we go to the Seas with Nemo and Friends and Journey into the Imagination (my kids love this ride and the activities after it)!  By that time it should be close to lunch and we'll head over to Norway to visit with the Princesses!! 

Here is where I side track to my princess dress hunt.  You would not believe what I have been through to find the perfect Belle dress for my youngest daughter.  I didn't want a normal store bought one, so I searched and even used my birthday money to buy the best dress!!!  It looks wonderful and should get here tomorrow!!  I'll post a picture soon!

Fantasyland Expansion Opening December 6!!

Well, we are going to miss the opening of the Fantasyland Expansion.  Disney has now given us a date- December 6.  The new Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid, the Be Our Guest Restaurant, Gaston's Tavern, Enchanted Tales with Belle, and the stores in that village will open then with previews set for November 19.  This is all very exciting, but I'm really upset that we are going to miss it!  Oh well, I guess I can look forward to seeing it next year.  It stinks to be so close to it though and have to miss it!

Also, there is news out that there is a new Disney app coming out, so stay tuned for details about that! 

My November trip

Ok, so nothing new today  (yet!).  So, here is my itinerary for our trip.  We are going in November and staying at Port Orleans Riverside.  On our arrival day, our flight lands at around 9:30 am.  We are going to head right to the resort to get our Keys to the World and then we are on to Animal Kingdom.  We are planning to do all of the exhibits on this day and save most of the rides and shows for day 2.  We are going to eat a counter service for lunch and then the Rainforest Cafe for dinner.  I figure we will probably be tired, so we'll go to bed early.  The next day we will get to the bus stop by 7:00 am bound for Hollywood Studios.  We have an 8:00 breakfast reservation at Hollywood N' Vine and we'll hopefully get out of their quick to get to rope drop for the CRAZY Toy Story Mania madness.  We'll stay at Hollywood Studios until around 4:00 and then we are going to do something new and ride the boat the the Beach Club Resort to eat dinner at Cape May Cafe.  We've never been there and we hope to see the Boardwalk area after dinner.  We'll then take a bus or boat back to Hollywood Studios and see the Osbourne Christmas lights before going back to our resort. 

More to come, stay tuned...

Disney Expands Free Dining Dates

Ok, so now I'm seriously wondering why I didn't stick with my Christmas at Disney plan as Disney expands the free dining dates to December 20.  Now, remember if you check in by December 20, then you will get free dining for your entire stay.  You could eat at Disney on Christmas for free!!  How cool is that!  Granted, it will be crowded, very crowded, but who wouldn't want to spend Christmas at Walt Disney World? 

I would love it!!!  I already get to see the castle lit up with these beautiful lights, but they would look even better on Christmas!    Has anyone ever been on Christmas?  Can you comment what it was like?

Back to planet Earth though, my trip is already planned and flights are booked.  Do I really want to change everything now?  Realistically no, but I'm so wishing I could! 

If anyone else wants to try it email me and I'll help you plan!  kerri@fairytaledreamtravels.com  I can help you avoid some of the crowds!

So, I got sidetracked from what I was going to post today, so I'll post about my agenda early next week. 

Fantasyland Expansion- More Sneak Peeks

Well,  Disney is still leaving us all wondering what "holidays 2012" means and now they are creating even more excitement by giving us another sneak peak at the Fantasyland Expansion.  Behold Maruice's Cottage!!

It looks really great!!  Just like the movie!  Oh, how I want to see all of the new things when we go!  Hopefully pixie dust will be coming my way!

On to other things, the current free dining deal (late September - December) has rooms filling up quickly.  If you want to go, book soon!
