Disney News: A Sneak Peek at the new Fantasyland

There’s a new castle in the Magic Kingdom, along with a restaurant and character experiences, all part of the new Fantasyland that will be opening on December 6th. Here’s are some photo previews of what you’ll see:

Ariel’s Grotto

You’ll now have a chance at a character meet and greet with the little mermaid if you step  past Prince Eric’s Castle, and look for  Ariel’s Grotto nestled into the rocks.

Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid

Aside from the grotto, Prince Eric’s Castle is also where you’ll find the new attraction, Ariel and her friends in Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid. Full of rendered scenes and songs from the beloved animated feature film, it is yet another way guests can enter Ariel’s sea world.

Gaston’s Tavern

Fill up your belly at Gaston’s Tavern in Belle’s Village with warm cinnamon rolls, fresh croissants, or the house specialty, Le Fou’s Brew. The frozen apple juice drink comes in a souvenir goblet, with toasted marshmallow flavors and a fruit foam topping.
