Dress Rehearsals New Fantasyland preview 10.12.12

On Friday, 10.12 Disney opened  more of the new Fantasyland area of the Magic Kingdom for dress rehearsals. The area is set to officially open Dec 6th. Enchanted Tales with Belle has been randomly opening the past few weeks... now, more of the new area is open for park guests. 

• The area is not guaranteed to be open daily and will not have the same operating hours as the park. Yesterday, the area was only open from 10am to about 6pm. Enchanted Tales with Belle, Gaston's Village, Journey of The Little Mermaid as well as a meet and greet with Gaston and Ariel was operating.

• Meet and Greet with Gaston was just to the left of the fountain statue of himself. Behind the statue was Gaston's Tavern where you can enjoy Lefou's Brew, Roasted Pork Shank, Pastries, Snacks, and Beverages. Restrooms, a small gift shop and popcorn stand also nearby.
