What do you think of the new . . . .

I may be going to WDW this summer, and was wondering how you like the new stuff there. When I went, most of fantasyland was still under construction, so how do you like it? I wanna know!
How was the new:
Test Track?
Beast restaurant?
Ariel ride?
Any more of the new fantasyland that I didn't mention?

I went last December, so I got info!

Test Track: Test Track was quite fun. It has a more futuristic look I guess you could say, and it's really fun.

Be Our Guest Restaurant: I ate lunch there, so I can't tell you how dinner is, but the food is really good, and the restaurant is just beautiful. We ate in the ballroom, but you can also eat in the west wing and whatever the third room is called(it had a lot of pictures on the wall of scenes from the movie and stuff).

Ariels ride(forgot the name): This was pretty fun too. If you've been to Disneyland recently, it's exactly like the one there. The Audio Animatronics are neat, there's an interactive queue, and the area looks amazing.

Snow White's area is still under construction

The Storybook Circus area is pretty neat. Great Goofini was just as fun as Barnstormer. Saw the Dumbo play area, it looked fun. Both sides of Dumbo were there, but the elephant my bro and I were on would not go up and down, so we were at the same height pretty much the whole time, so I can't say it was fun.

Think that's about it.

Test track was pretty much my favorite ride at Disney World.

I love going fast like that.

I saw some of the storybook circus, and I got kinda sad they changed it, I liked how dumbo was in the middle and you could see everything. Other than that and the train, great goofini and stuff like that, everything was being built.

New FL is beautiful. Enchanted Tales With Belle is delightful and very fun. Going back there really feels like you're going back into a French cottage, plus the mirror effect was super cool. I wish we had a chance to eat at BoG, but I hear that it's also top notch disney quality. Under the Sea was very cute, a tiny step up from a typical dark ride. It felt longer than a usual dark ride and more high quality. Storybrook Circus was adorable and has Bigtop Souvenirs which had the most amazing and delicious treats as well as a nice variety of ear hats/disney merch. Didn't go on Dumbo or Goofini, but I suppose the rides are still basically the same as they were before, but the theming for them is super cute. I still would have kept toontown over it, but oh well. I liked new TT waaay more than I thought I would, but I still prefer the old one. It definitely feels smoother now, though. I like the new stuff, especially the expanded part of Fantasyland with the Belle and Ariel sections. I really wish we could have spent more time back there, because I could have easily spent half a day just walking around and looking at everything new. Although I am a really detail focused person when it comes to disney.

The new Ariel ride is quite fun. The line to get in is really interactive, so that's always a good time. Beast's Castle restaurant is also quite nice. I didn't get to eat there, but I saw inside it and it looked really cool. I went in November, and the new Test Track wasn't open yet. That was a huge disappointment as it's one of my favorite rides but I'm sure it's better than it used to be, and considering how good it used to be, I'm sure it's definitely worth the time to ride.

I ate for lunch in the Be our guest restaurant. Since its quick service for lunch, we had to wait about 45 minutes before we ordered. Once we ordered the food came fast. The restaurant is beautiful. If you want to do quick service get there as soon as it opens, we came back later and the line was an hour and a half.

So when I was there in August 2012, only a couple of things in the NFland were done: Goofy's Great Goofini, the Dumbo's (both of them) and the splash area for the little kids. It looked really neat from what was there, and now pretty much all parts of the New Fantasyland are there now (because I've watched the new 2013 DIsney Video.) You can order it on the Disney World web. Enjoy this SUmmer! DIsney is pretty much the life!

Hey Thor!
Test Track?: I was pleasantly surprised. It is a lot cooler than YouTube makes it look. I miss Bill and Cherry, but I think the changes was for the good. I really like the designing the car. You get points on how well you do in four categories. A good rule to to try to make them balanced.I beat my dads score by a lot of points Just a warning, Fastpass and Single Rider you do not get to design a car. I feel although just doing the design once in the trip is fine.
Beast restaurant? I did not get to eat here. The line was super long, even in off-season. It looked super pretty on the outside. I went in Belle's village. It was very charming and the shop was cute. It bored me a little, but mostly because I am not a huge Belle fan.
Ariel ride?: This was well done. The ending was very rushed. We got a fastpass my Mickey's Phillarmagic for this one. I did not get to go through the cool interactive line but the fastpass line was pretty. The cool thing was it broke down but we waited a few minutes and we got to go in. My dad and I were the second in line! I liked walking through a line with very few people are we are not rope drop guests. My favorite part is the bubbles part. I won't spoil it, but it's great
Any more of the new Fantasyland that I didn't mention? The problem with the forest section (Belle and Ariel) Is the Snow White ride is on the whole right side of the walkway. I will be excited when it is done to see the whole land super pretty. What is there right now is great. I also like on the Snow White Mine ride there is peek holes you can look into! The storybook Circus is suburb. It looks lovely. I miss Minnie and Mickey's house and wish they put it in Hollywood Studios.

Yeah, they should have put the houses in hollywood studios. That sounds sooooo cool! I'm going on the last week of my summer vacay, and I'm so excited to see the changes!!!!

Anything else...? YES!
Maurice's cottage is so amazing! and the magic portal... I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.
Storybook circus is really cute, and the new dumbo's play area is the best! I wish I could play on it
I hope I helped!

The new test track is pretty impressive. Although the new Tron look is a bit too much for me. All the neon lights and no test drive areas is a bit disappointing in my eyes. I miss the video too, but making your own car is pretty cool!

Be Our Guest is AMAZING! Seriously, I could live in there! The west wing was by far my favorite room... The rose and mirror were gorgeous, the detail put into the room was astonishing! I ate in the grand ballroom. The ceiling was beautiful, with the little angels looks exactly like the movie! It's even snowing outside the windows! He food is delicious, yet expensive. The deserts are delicious... I had the lemon cupcake and it was sublime! I also had the grey stuff, which is only given out for special celebrations ( birthdays, etc. my special celebration was my getting into national honor society!) All the waiters are amazingly nice and all service is clean and quick!

The Ariel ride is also astonishing! The technology is amazing! The way Ariel's hair moves like she's actually swimming underwater is amazing! And there are so many small details that make the ride amazing! Ursula's final scene and the wedding scene were a bit disappointing, seeing as Ursula is just a cut out flailing around, and random sea animals are attending Ariel's wedding instead of her sisters. But the idea of the ride is amazing and the area outside is gorgeous!

Enchanted Tales with Belle is basically Storytime with belle again, but she's in her gorgeous yellow dress. LeFou's brew is pretty good, but very sweet. Gaston can be found wandering around the village seeking admiration from the general public!

The new Tangled Bathrooms are amazing too! The lanterns are strung up and the flags of corona are everywhere! The tower is amazing, and if it's not turned into a meet and greet area I'll cry. There are small details to look out for, such as the satchel!

I hope you have fun this summer! :D
