There's something new in Fantasyland... A small new "Maisonnette" has popped up in the empty spot to the left of Sir Mickey's, as spotted by La Rouquine and seen in this photo by Clement love Belle on Disney Central Plaza:

What could it be? Current guesses seem to be either a new food location or a character location. It reminds me a lot of Belle's Christmas Village - could DLRP have realised that the lack of year-round Beauty & the Beast stuff in Fantasyland needs to change? Remembering what DLRP are like at the moment, it's probably a character location, don't you think?
Hey, a new character location is always great ;) Really seems like something that have to do with Belle... I hope so!!! :)
yea maybe Pinocchio and snow white would also be there to fit in with the land
Probably photo location.
Nice for the kids or those who like to take their picture with a man/woman in a suit, but I'm not interested in these. :)

What! :shock:
Well, well, those comments aren't really needed over here. :wink: Most people here experience the Disney magic as it's intented.
We saw that being built during last week, but without the tiled rooftop etc. Not a clue what it is... I didn't even notice it myself lol

Sorry, I was in my nasty-mood. Won't happen again. :P
looks like another wait and find out things

But until then, we can have some wild speculation about what it might be!
The long-lost B&tB animatronic show, anyone? :lol: :P
Sorry to disapoint you all but it will be a popcorn stand sponsored by minute maid. Info from dlrp.fr
Sorry
Fanti :(
Really?? A popcorn stand?! How poor is that? :( I thought they'd have planned more character photo locations for next year, and this could have been a first one... but only popcorn? That's not nice...
Yes next year ;-) The 15th Anniversary won't start officially before April 2007!
disapointed sigh disapointed

Buisnesses arent meant to be nice! Although us fans can get angry when buisnesses arent nice
:twisted:
Sorry

Well, for a popcorn stand it looks like a damn nice one! Imagine what kind of thing it could have been. Although I would have liked to see Belle's Christmas Village to come back, I am glad they re-use the structures in a good way. They've got a second life now.

I think it's brand new, isn't it? Belle's Christmas Village is still due to return this Christmas, just without the Musical Medley show.
This new stand does indeed look like a scaled-up version of the market stalls though, and you're absolutely right: we can be sad that it's just a popcorn stand (why do they need so many of those anyway, did I miss something that everyone buys popcorn at theme parks?), but on the other hand: it's VERY nicely themed! Fills in that blank gap in Fantasyland, too. It'll be interesting to see if they've related it to a particular film, or if it's just a generic fantasy theme.
It's quite simple actually: pleasing the sponsors.
At both parks more and more sponsor logo's are popping up (remember the Hertz sticker on the cab in front of Backlot Express not so long ago?)
Fantasyland doesn't need to be "cool" with its new food location, it seems.
According to several sources, the hut is called "L'Arbre Enchanté", and DJinspace posted this photo on DCP:

The "enchanted tree" will be planted in the small fenced circle on the right. Quite nice, eh? :D
Either way I think its fantastic that so much effort has been put into a simple popcorn stand. I was begining to worry the days of theming were numbered...

Maybe it's an enchanted, invisible tree? :wink:

Ooo perhaps! Maybe only the most magical of people can see it?
DLRP should build a whole third park based on that concept... :lol:

Maybe that's why we like WDS. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Didn't you know? They opened that third park last year. Don't tell me you can't see it!!! :P
The Enchanted Tree has been planted!!!

o.o What's with all the different coloured fruit?
that's why it's enchanted :wink:
It's great to see them putting so much effort in a simple food stand. This is pure Disney... even the smallest things in the parks do have details, story and a reason for even being there. Great! :)

:shock: Ooooooooh... :lol:
:) Aww, it really is lovely...
It turned out great in the end. Let's hope the leaves of the magical tree don't get pulled off. :)
Don't you think, from the angle below, it looks a lot like a meet 'n' greet location?

They obviously set it up as a nice photo opportunity, at least... :)

Maybe they're attempting to recreate the Faraway Tree from the Enchanted Wood in Enid Blyton's childrens series. The Faraway Tree regularly grew different fruits all at the same time.
It looks great though. I can't wait to see it and the rest of the park for myself in March :D
Here's probably the inspiration, The Enchanted Grove at Walt Disney World.

That could be a really good photo location. I could imagine Snow White and the dwarves, or even Cinderella, in rags of course.
I'd love to get my hands on some of the materials they use to build these things, imagine having something like that in the garden instead of the boring old wooden shed!! - My daughter would absolutely love it! :D
Any resident imagineers/artists have any tips? :wink:
