Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station is an attraction located in [[Fantasyland]]
==Attraction Description and History==
Although eventually a part of the Storybook Circus section of the 2012 Fantasyland Expansion, when the plans for the expansion were initially made public, a Casey Jr. attraction was not present. Instead, the area that the Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak would eventually be constructed on was to be used for Pixie Hollow (a Tinkerbell and friends meet and greet location) <ref name= "screen"> http://fromscreentotheme.com/CloserLookCaseyJrSplashNSoakStation.aspx </ref>. As plans for the Fantasyland Expansion continued to develop however, Pixie Hollow was removed and Storybook Circus was doubled in area. These new plans called for the construction of a water play area based on Casey Jr. from the Disney film "Dumbo " <ref name= "screen"/>. On June 15, 2012 the Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station opened to guests (although its official opening date was not until December 6, 2012) <ref> http://touringplans.com/magic-kingdom/attractions/opening-dates </ref>. The attraction is a water play area that features Casey Jr. and a group of animals including monkeys, elephants and camels, which spray guests with water.
