News From Around the World – Princesses, Bags and Trains

September 22, 2013 by Julie @RunWalkRepeat


Some of my favorites from this week out of Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort:

Princess Fairytale Hall Opened!

Photo from Disney Parks Blog

On Wednesday the 18th, the NEW Princess Fairytale Hall opened in Fantasyland – where Snow White’s scary adventures used to be.  New Fantasyland is one step closer to completion!

From Disney Park’s Blog:

“According to the hall’s storyline, Princess Fairytale Hall is a gift from the King to Cinderella, and acts as a place where she and other princesses can greet subjects. Here, guests can choose to meet either Cinderella and a visiting princess, or Rapunzel and a visiting princess. (The easiest way to tell which princesses will appear at the hall on the day of your vacation is to check the My Disney Experience app or pick up a Times Guide on the way into the park.)  If you’re looking for a FASTPASS for Princess Fairytale Hall, head to the distribution center near Peter Pan’s Flight. FastPass+ is also now an option for this location.”

For more photos, check out Disney Parks Blog. 

Disney Parks Vera Bradley Collection NOW AVAILABLE AT PARKS!  

Remember when I told you about the Vera Bradley Disney Park collection back in April? Let me refresh your memory?  Its Here.

The collection is NOW available in Pink “Just Mousing Around” or Black “Midnight with Mickey”

 
There are 8 styles to choose from too!

The bags will only be available in the Parks until some time in October when they will also be available at Disney Store Online.  Sales of the bags will be limited as they roll out the merchandise, you can read about it here.   I really want one of these…ok, maybe 2!


Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Car Placed on Track for Testing

Photo Disney Parks Blog

Set to open sometime in 2014, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is the FINAL attraction in Magic Kingdom’s New Fantasyland yet to be complete. This week a car was put on the track for push/pull testing.   To learn more about the Imagineering behind this attraction, check out a replay of Disney Park Blogs’s live chat with Imagineer Dave Minichiello that took place earlier this week.  I really hope this is running in time for the runDisney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend in February so I can give it a spin!

THAT’S IT for this edition.  Anyone of these have you excited?

    So so excited to see Princess Fairytale Hall with E in October, and I’m fully intending to get the Mousing Around Hipster when I am there too. Might be persuaded into another one at W&D too. So many exciting things going on.

    Vera Bradley has me excited! I am hoping to buy a large duffel bag when we visit WDW in two weeks. Also excited about seeing the new Fantasyland for the first time. 🙂

      I want a Hipster and maybe a wristlet….. I would LOVE the Large Duffel too….but don’t see that happening. You will LOVE the New Fantasyland….try to get to Enchanted Tales with Belle once, the mirror in there should be seen by all. They really did a fab job!
