One of my favorite moments at the recent D23 Expo was walking through the Carousel of Projects, an area full of displays, models and renderings of new projects coming soon to Disney Parks around the world. Inside, there were Cars Land ride vehicles, a model of Buena Vista Street and Carthay Circle Theater at Disney California Adventure park, and much more. I have to say, it was a lot of fun to watch the reaction of expo attendees to all of the updated projects – especially to the model of New Fantasyland, which laid out just what this expanded area will look like when its complete.

The Carousel of Projects New Fantasyland display also featured a ton of previously unreleased renderings of the expansion, which Walt Disney Imagineering was happy to share with us. Check them out in the gallery below.

Which new attraction are you most looking forward to?


The Journey of The Little Mermaid will feature a statue of Ariel at the entrance.Inside the attraction, Ursula the sea witch bubbles up some trouble.Princess Fantasy Faire will be the place to meet and greet your favorite Disney royalty.Storybook Circus will be the new home to Dumbo the Flying Elephant, which will double in size and feature an interactive queue.

New Fantasyland will include an area dedicated to Beauty and The Beast, including Maurice’s Cottage (left) and Beast’s Castle (middle). Once inside Maurice’s Cottage, guests can engage in a playful storytime with Belle and Lumiere. Gaston’s Pub will be another highlight of this new area. The interior of pub will be themed the one featured in the film – a hunting lodge full of antlers. And of course, a portrait of Gaston will highlight the pub.

  1. I can’t wait to see all the new things going on in Fantasyland. I would love to have been a D23 and seen everything. I am ready. I will miss Toontown though.
