December 11th, 2012
Walt Disney World has been making the dreams of little princesses come true for decades, and every year it only seems to get better.
Since Fantasyland, was announced in 2009 as the biggest expansion of the Magic Kingdom, many have been awaiting the date when it will finally be open to the public – and that date has finally arrived. December 6th, 2012 was the official opening date of the new enchanted land, and it will continue to open in stages until 2014 unveiling many new attractions along the way.
Visitors to the new Fantasyland can enjoy an array of new and wonderful and exciting adventures, including being part of their very own fairytale during Enchanted Tales with Belle; an improved and interactive meet and greet with Belle and Lumiere as they are transported through a magic mirror and participate in the re-telling of a classic Disney tale.
Afterwards, visitors can meet Ariel and her friends as part of the Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid and embark on a truly magical adventure filled with music and all the favourite Little Mermaid characters.
If your little princess has ever wanted to dine with her favourite princess characters, then a trip to the Cinderella Castle and be a personal guest at Cinderella’s Royal Table - this is a must-do during your trip to Disney World’s Fantasyland. Visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner and watch her little face glow with excitement as she is surrounded by the familiar scenes from the Disney Classic and let her enjoy a personalised visit to the table by he very own Disney Royalty; an absolute unforgettable day will be had for all at Cinderella’s Royal Table.

The newly opened restaurant just adds to the magic of the new Fantasyland as it re-creates the set of the movie Beauty and the Beast with three themed dining rooms; The West Wing, The Rose Gallery and The Ballroom.
