On the evening of Wednesday December 5th I attended the Fantasyland press event party at the Magic Kingdom. I was not lucky enough to see any of this during the soft openings that have been going on so I was very excited. It was spectacular I was completely blown away by the details and themeing. Here are some photos from that night.
I arrived at Disney this morning for a few days of meetings before the Fantasyland grand re-opening on Thursday morning. I flew into Orlando International Airport via Jetblue and then made my way to the the Yacht Club Resort. I had a meeting from 3pm to 5pm and then there was a reception at the Yacht Club Resort on the Asbury Patio. It was a wonderful first day but I am beat so I am back in the room and getting ready for another big day tomorrow.
I received my invitation to the Fantasyland event in Dec! I can't wait to go!
