9/8/12 As construction continues on the new pool area at the Grand Floridian Resort, more details have become available. The new pool area will be a water playground themed to the Mad Tea Party. The main play structure in the splash pool will feature two short slides, a teapot & teacup cascade, and a large dump bucket shaped like the Mad Hatter’s Hat. See Christine's picture below.
3/21/12 Disney has filed paper work to add an additional pool area to the Grand Floridian Resort. The new pool area will be built in the area between the Main Building, the Beach Pool, and the Summerhouse pavilion. The paper work indicates that the new pool is planned to be approximately 1/6th the size of the existing Beach Pool. A time table for the addition has not been reported.

Enchanting Previews

Cast have only been able to advise that Guests hoping to be selected should spend their time on Fantasyland attractions.

We were given a sneak peak of Maurice's Cottage in the New Fantasyland on 9/11 at the MNSSHP. The scenery in the new section is beautiful but as far as the attraction not so good. The only interesting part is the "Magic Mirror" in the Workshop preshow. I can tell this will be a long wait time attraction just because of how long it took to get in that night and it is not worth the time. They have 2 preshow areas, Workshop and Wardrope will holds you for about 7 minutes each before entering the Libraryto see the show.

We met Periwinkle this past week while we were down. During the MNSCHP. As noted above, she was taking pictures and signing autographs with Tink.
Also, we got to be one of the families that did the Enchanted Tales with Belle! My oldest DD was selected to be the Beast while my littlest was Chip. Very cool experience, especially since my oldest DD got to have a special dance with Belle as part of the story. Very magical experience for us this trip!
