Remarkably untouched since its opening in 1992,
Fantasyland at Disneyland Paris is suddenly welcoming a brand new addition to its fairytale landscape with day after day of marching progress. By Saturday, all the tiles on the delayed
Princess Pavilion photo location’s new tower were already in place, just days after
the tower itself rose from the ground. Not counting the miniature turrets of
Storybook Land, opened 1994, this marks the first new tower in Fantasyland’s kingdom since opening!
Meanwhile, the latest photo by @InsideDLParis just three hours ago shows the wooden struts now in place on the main roof of the façade, ready for tiling to continue. Despite being located in the “rural” countryside section of the land, with the
Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups and
Old Mill, the new façade uses a more stately chateau style. Perhaps this is a new garden pavilion of
Sleeping Beauty Castle?
With an opening now apparently due in as little as a month, we also have to wonder where this addition will fit into the resort’s marketing. Since the April launch of the
Disney Magical Moments Festival, the
originally advertised Disney Princesses: A Royal Invitation has lead guests to a cheap temporary tent situated just opposite this construction site. Will the finally-realised Princess Pavilion just open as a late “Magical Moments” addition, or could it be held over by marketing until 2012, to serve as a
second new permanent Fantasyland meet ‘n’ greet location for the 20th Anniversary?
