ORDDU: There will be restrooms going in the area where the clock tower is. Rapunzel will be meeting and greeting with Snow White, Aurora and Tiana in the new same area that is replacing Snow White.

I'm more excited for the restaurant than any of the attractions they are putting into this expansion.

Some of the walls are down around the barnstomer and train station... you can now see the props and stuff in the barnstormer queue

That mural looks pretty magnificent. Can't wait to see it IRL.

I'm rather suprised no one has mention this yet since its all over Twitter and Facebook for the last few hours. But Disney soft opened today part of its Storybook Circus. Attractions open include the Barnstormer, one of the Dumbo's and the Fantasyland Train Station.

I was wondering the same thing, Malin. I've seen lots of pictures and video posted of the soft opening, and looked at several discussion boards to see what people were saying, and...nothing. I'm kind of surprised.

From what I've seen, I have to say, I'm not a fan of Dumbo's color scheme. I think there is too much gold, which makes it look a little tacky. The water feature is great, and it's about time. Still, I much prefer the Disneyland and Disneyland Paris versions of Dumbo. They have a more elegant look to them.

Barnstormer looks ok, but in the same way that Goofy's Sky School at DCA does...it's just minor cosmetic additions. Still, it's cute.

The train station and nearby bathrooms look fantastic! I also love the details in the pavement like peanut shells. So far, it looks great, even with the garish circus color scheme on Dumbo.

lol silly because these nice things don't get posted on the wdw board . only how restaurants are ruined, and how x-pass is going to destroy the world lol.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but ImagiNerding has pics of the New train station. Apparently the park in front is called "Carolwood Park" IMO this station is Much Much better than the old: https: Wall Photos | Facebook

I will be honest I just wish they waited for the whole land to be ready before they opened it.

I will be honest I just wish they waited for the whole land to be ready before they opened it.

It'd be nice to see everything revealed together when it's done, but I'm hoping this will help relieve some of the traffic in Fantasyland. It's been a total nightmare getting through at busier times lately, and the Spring Break crowds can only make it worse.

WDWMAGIC has an update with more than 80 pictures from Storybook Circus this morning! It looks amazing. Huge improvement over what was there before.

ORWEN: I still prefer Mickey and Minnie's houses over the Dumbo Circus area. One Dumbo was fine with me.

They kept the circus feel, but made it much much more tolerable and more "elegant"
