Rumor: Fantasyland Theatre coming back with a new show

[TsWade2]

Hey everybody,

I know I was suppose to put this at the Fantasyland Theatre Discussion thread, but I thought it would be better to put in the new thread. So anyway, I've been reading a few of Al Lutz previous articles and since the Fantasy Faire is moving to the Plaza Gardens, itis possible that Fantasyland Theatre is coming back with a new show starring the Fab Five formely known as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto. Or Daisy Duck. Here's some of the proof:

If Disneyland’s Entertainment Department gets the green light this autumn, they’ll shut down the Princess Fantasy Faire to turn the facility back into a 1,200 seat theater and produce a big stage show there again. If the Fantasyland Theater project gets its final approvals, the Princess Fantasy Faire concept would be condensed and moved to the Plaza Gardens area during the day, although the new Princess sets would be designed to be moveable so that the Plaza Gardens dance floor could be retained for the popular orchestra-led swing dancing that takes place there every weekend.

The Fantasy Faire project is tied in with the current plans to upgrade and improve the existing Fantasyland Theater so that the Walt Disney Creative Entertainment team can then produce a brand new stage show for that 2,000 seat theater. It’s thought that the arrival of both the new Fantasy Faire princess village and the debut of a big stage show in the upgraded Fantasyland Theater could and should be lumped together for 2013, if only to give a shot of adrenalin to the Destination DLR marketing push for the latter half of the campaign in ’13. We’ll fill you in on the details just as soon as the timing of both projects gels a bit more.


In late summer the Fantasyland “WonderBra” Theater will also be closed as WDI moves in to remake that space into a more formal set-up with upgraded stage facilities that also mesh better with its Fantasyland surroundings.


Later this year the Cars Land exhibit will be removed entirely and replaced with displays on the new Fantasy Faire meet n’ greet pavilion and the plans for an upgraded Fantasyland Theater hosting a full-scale stage show starring Disney’s Fab Five characters in 2013.

With both the Castle Fantasy Faire, and the remodeled and upgraded Fantasyland Theater hosting a new Fab Five Character stage show, the first appearance of NextGen queue infrastructure will arrive in Anaheim.




I know it's a rumor right now, but since Disney officially announce that Fantasy Faire is moving to the Plaza Gardens, it might be possible that Fantasyland Theatre is coming back. WHEEEEEEE!

That certainly would seem to be the case....

I sure hope a new show is put in there. It's a shame they haven't had one there in years.
