Fun fact: Tangled is my favorite Disney film!
This post will have quite a few pictures in it so continue reading after the break!
While I was on my program last year the only way I could see New Fantasyland was from afar. Towards the end of my program we had access to the Barnstormer and half of Dumbo but that was it. I could see Beast's castle peek over the construction walls and bits and pieces of Eric's castle being put together.

Yesterday, however, I got to see it put together! I didn't see and do everything (but of course I plan to, duh!) but I did go on the new Little Mermaid ride and sit through Enchanted Tales with Belle. Both really great new attractions, take a look!
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
The grand finale!
Madam Wardrobe was AWESOME! Her movements are so fluid and lifelike
And Lumiere is even better! I can't believe he's an animatronic, one of, if not the best animatronics Disney has ever done. And Belle's new dress is gorgeous in person!
Belle's cottage is beautiful and I love the little bits of detail thrown into it. I also loved the enchanted door that took you in to Enchanted Tales with Belle, wasn't expecting it! In the coming days I do hope to do some more NF exploring, especially checking out (and perhaps tasting a cupcake) Be Our Guest. I did ride some more rides like It's a Small World and The Haunted Mansion and got some delicious treats with my roommate:
White Chocolate Chip Cookie from Main Street Confectionery
And we checked out the new Tangled restroom area! A bit out of place in Liberty Square in my opinion but still adorable!

That night I also watched The Main Street Electrical Parade, Celebrate the Magic and Wishes! I watched these every chance I could get last year (except for CTM, during my program it was The Magic, The Memories, and You) and it felt so great to be along MS watching them again. I prefer TMTM&Y to CTM but it is still a really neat show!
The song always makes me so happy :)
Wishes, dream a dream. Wishes, set it free.
Once I left MK however, things got a bit frustrating. My phone died the second I walked out. I went to the Poly to catch the B bus back and 2 buses never came and we were all just sitting there. Finally, I walked through the door at 12:45 but I still had my Mickey apple so that made it a bit better!
Today, I went to Epcot, my future home! We had torrential downpours this morning, so bad that I actually stirred awake from them. They eventually passed and I went along to finally finish my grocery shopping. I always hate those initial grocery shops where the cupboards are bare and you have no spices or anything and next thing you know you're dropping like $100 on groceries. Bleh. But after that it was off to Epcot where I enjoyed a nice stroll around World's Showcase and ended with Illuminations. I even got to eat my favorite candy, Crunchies, in the UK pavilion, day made!
The finale
It has been a long and magical 2 days and it only continues tomorrow. I have my Epcot Orientation called Discovery Day tomorrow at 8 AM so that should be a whole new world of experiences since I obviously have never done it! Check back tomorrow to read all about it!
