Plan for 1st New Fantasyland Visit

Even if you don't want a meal, the soups are great.

Hehe. That's EXACTLY what we plan to do. Brave the line for like an hour and then just order soup and take a bazillion pictures.

I'm really most excited to walk around with a giant pork shank from Gaston's.

Most commenters (a some checks of the usual wait times) have me pretty convinced I'm going to hit Belle, Undersea, Dumbo, and Be Our Guest in one fell swoop in the morning, maybe only taking a break to grab Peter Pan fastpasses. There will be enough time in the afternoon to see just about everything else I'd "need" to see if we use Fastpass wisely.

Definitely don't go out of your way or change plans based on new fantasyland. There's really not that much there. From my experience the mermaid ride doesn't seem to have much of a line and the belle thing which I've never done seems to be 30-45min each time. Don't know if its worth the wait. As far as BOG goes I had a dinner ADR but the CMs there seemed to be really accommodating to walk-ups. Best atmosphere I've ever been in for dinner.

As already said, there is not that much new. You should be able to see the new Fantasyland and do everything in the MK as you usually do. We did it with no problem.

Our plan is to try the new stuff first, just in case we can't make the old stuff, but we are also going around the 4th of July weekend, so I know it will be hot and crowded. My plan is to go to Fantasyland first thing one day, and maybe try and do the mountains another morning (or maybe during Extra Magic Hours). Enjoy!

DEFINITELY would recommend hitting Enchanted Tales with Belle FIRST thing in the morning, if it's on your list at all. The lines stack up fast and don't let up. It doesn't have very high capacity. After that, it doesn't matter as much. But get to Belle early!

I'd go to New Fantasyland first. Knock out Belle and then do Mermaid ... you should be out of there pretty quickly.
