Full Details Of What Is Inside Fantasy Faire Opening This Spring

Some details have emerged surrounding the new land set to open this spring in Fantasyland, Fantasy Faire.

Royal Hall

We have known that Fantasy Faire will contain the new princess meet and greet location for the park but we now know the location is called Royal Hall. This meet & greet is going to be very similar to what will be opening in Florida later this year, Princess Fairytale Hall.

The castle-like entrance will feature walls of stone and stained glass windows leading to a large, high-ceilinged room where portraits of the princesses adorn the walls. When summoned, Magic Kingdom guests will proceed to elegantly furnished chambers to meet the princesses.

Maurice’s Treats

We have also leaned the name of the food venue for the area, Maurice’s Treats. We don’t know any details at the moment, but we assume it will be similar in someway to Gaston’s Tavern at the Magic Kingdom. All I can say is I hope we get pork shanks in Disneyland.

 

Two New Stage Shows

Mickey And The Magical Map isn’t the only new stage show coming to Disneyland Park this year.

 Guests can enjoy one of two stage shows in a new theater fit for royalty.


We know very little about these two shows at the moment although there was a casting call sent out recently looking for performers for these two shows.

 These performers will play multiple roles as they present classic Disney tales in a fast-paced and fun-filled show! Crisp comedic timing is a must. Actors need to move well and be able to perform in a vaudeville style.

We do also know that one of these shows will be very similar to the storytelling experience that opened in Florida, Enchanted Tales With Belle. 

The Fantasy Faire Stage will be a new entertainment venue where the stories of Disney’s fairy tale heroes and heroines will be brought to life, letting guests become part of the story as well.

 

 

Also when Fantasy Faire was announced, it was made clear that the swing dancing and evening bands would be returning to the stage once it reopens.

Fairytale Treasures

The final bit of info we have received is that the merchandise location in Fantasy Faire is called Fairytale Treasures. All we know as of right now is that it is called Fairytale Treasures and nothing beyond that. Of course with New Fantasyland in Florida, we can assume is will be something like the newly opened Bonjour Village Gifts.

 

As we edge closer and closer to the opening, stay tuned to Disneyland News Today as more details arise.

Carnation Gardens To Close On April 30th To Begin Transformation Into Fantasy Faire

From Erin Glover on the Disney Parks Blog:

As Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs and Disneyland Resort President George Kalogridis announced at the D23 Expo in August of last year, Carnation Plaza Gardens at Disneyland park is being reimagined into the new Fantasy Faire – an enchanting village square that will immerse guests in the stories of their favorite princesses. Carnation Plaza Gardens Stage will become the Fantasy Faire Stage, where the tales of Disney’s fairy tale heroes and heroines will be brought to life each day.

“Carnation
This transformation will begin with the closing of Carnation Plaza Gardens at the end of the Disneyland park operating day on April 30. There are three more chances for Disneyland park guests to enjoy the Jump, Jive, Boogie Swing Party at Carnation Plaza Gardens before it closes:

  • April 14 – featuring Doc Anello & the Swing Machine
  • April 21 – featuring Stompy Jones
  • April 28 – featuring Swingtown

And starting May 5, Disneyland Resort guests can keep on dancing each Saturday night when the Jump, Jive, Boogie Swing Party continues at the Westside Stage in the Downtown Disney District.
