==Fantasyland Expansion==
In 2009, it was announced that Mickey's Toontown Fair would be closing and Fantasyland would be expanding into the previous Toontown location. The expansion is expected to double the previous the size of Fantasyland. Part of the expansion will be called Storybook Circus which will begin open opening in early 2012. This section of Fantasyland will be themed like a circus and will include new attractions such as Casey Jr. and the Great Goofini Coaster. Casey Jr. is expected to be a water play area for kids featuring Case Jr. from the 1941 Disney movie Dumbo. The Great Goofini Coaster, is a re-temed version of Goofy's Barnstormer which was previously located in Mickey's Toontown Fair. Storybook Circus is also expected to house two Dumbo the Elephant rides (with the old ride moving from its current location) and the Fantasyland Train Station. In 2013 it is expected that Storybook Circus will be completed with the addition of Pete's Silly Sideshow.
The other part of the “new” Fantasyland is set to house a variety of attractions based on Disney movies. The first addition should be Under the Sea- The Voyage of the Little Mermaid which is set to open in late 2012. This new attraction is based on the Disney Movie the The Little Mermaid and will be a dark ride type attraction. Ariel's Grotto is also expected to re-open in the Fantasyland expansion at some point.
Also expected to open in late 2012 is Beauty and the Beast Village (featuring the new Beast's Castle) a Belle meet-and-greet and the Be Our Guest restaurant. This entire part of the expansion will be based on the popular Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. The final part of the expansion is expected to open in late 2013 with The Seven Dwarfs Mine Coaster. This roller coaster will be based on the Disney Movie Snow White. In conjunction with the Fantasyland expansion and the creation of the Mine Coaster, Snow White's Scary Adventure is expected to close in 2012.
