Disney World's New Fantasyland is Literally a Wish Come True

A gargoyle guardian of Beast's castle.

A little over two years ago, I wrote THIS BLOG ENTRY about wishing that there was a walk-through enchanted castle from Disney's animated "Beauty and the Beast".

Guess what I got to walk through last weekend?

The new Fantasyland isn't technically open to the public yet, but we live a whopping half hour from the Magic Kingdom and we're just nerdy enough to have annual passes.

When a friend texted to tell us that the new Fantasyland was in a Dress Rehearsal (meaning that you could go in, ride rides and see sights with the expectation that there might be technical difficulties here and there) we hot footed it over there.

And the pictures we got that night were pretty exciting. Click on READ MORE below to see all of our photos.

One of many details straight from the movie.
