Disneyland - Fantasy Faire






https://disneyland.disney.go.com/entertainment/disneyland/fantasy-faire/

The Fantasy Faire is an expansion of Fantasyland focusing on princesses. This is a place where there are times scheduled for meeting various princesses. There is some live entertainment as well, but the real focus is the princesses.

This combines two trends. One has been having specific places and times for characters, with less random wandering of the park. There is a spot for Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore in Critter Country, and a space on the way to It's A Small World that I have seen host Disney villains around Halloween and couples around Valentine's Day.

Those are open spaces that get used, but there has also been some creation of new spaces, like a room to the side of Village Haus that has hosted Rapunzel before and Anna and Elsa now.

Sometimes, those spaces get designed specifically to create a certain experience. So before you meet Thor, you can view the Treasures of Asgard. In ToonTown, can see the houses of Donald, Goofy, Minnie, and Chip and Dale, and you wind through Mickey's house before meeting him.

Fantasy Faire is more like the ToonTown experience. You see the castle where the princesses live, and they have their own nooks. Your time there can be integrated with princess makeovers at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, where the children can be part of a procession.

I am not the market for this, but there are people who would eat it up.
