I drove by the construction site and this building is already close to 7-8 stories tall; 2 cranes; can't get nearer than the clubhouse which is on the other side of a bunch of pine trees, so i could only see partially through the trees.

This will rank towards the top among the nice golf resorts CFLA already has with large host hotels: Omni Championsgate, Hyatt Grand Cypress, Rosen Shingle Creek, Grande Lakes(Ritz/JW), Waldorf-Hilton, Marriott World Center, etc... Bay Hill has a hotel too, although not huge.

Virgin Megastore: They are redoing it at present- into a bowling-themed entertainment center. (not sure if already posted).

Animal Kingdom Lodge- Wow, the addition they did for the Vacation Club has got a pretty big footprint; and it looks nice; you can see it from the AK Lodge

Pop Century Resort- that new resort next to it (I keep forgetting the name) is already open.

Rainforest Cafe- they are redoing the outside of it, it seems. I can't make out the volcano anymore.

Hot air balloon- out of commission temporarily the past few weeks. should start back up by mid-August.

Full Ride & Queue: Journey of the Little Mermaid in New Fantasyland at Walt Disney World



On October 12, 2012, nearly two months before its grand opening, most of the New Fantasyland expansion of the Magic Kingdom was previewed in an unannounced dress rehearsal, including Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid, the dark ride based on The Little Mermaid. This video takes you past Prince Eric's castle, through the elaborate queue featuring interactive animated crabs, and onto the ride featuring binaural audio. Wear headphones during the ride portion for the best experience!

Be Our Guest restaurant entrance, bridge, waterfall in New Fantasyland




When Walt Disney World began dress rehearsals of New Fantasyland on October 12, 2012, the Be Our Guest restaurant wasn't quite ready for guests to enter, but its surrounding area was accessible, including some of the most impressive scenery and detail in the Magic Kingdom expansion.

Bonjour Village Gifts tour in New Fantasyland at Walt Disney World







New Fantasyland's only store is Bonjour Village Gifts, home of a variety of merchandise based on Beauty and the Beast. The store is themed like Belle's favorite book shop but features plates, glasses, apparel, artwork, and other collectibles.
