Image: The Be Our Guest Restaurant will seat 550 guestsA range of new attractions will be unveiled at the Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney Park in Florida, US, on 6 December following the expansion of the New Fantasyland.
The expansion programme is one of the largest undertaken at the park, with new additions to include attractions inspired by
The Little Mermaid and
Beauty and the Beast.
Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid will take guests with Ariel and other
Little Mermaid characters above and below the waves against a musical backdrop from the film.
Ariel's Grotto will see visitors meet the mermaid herself, while
Beauty and the Beast-branded experiences include the 550-capacity Be Our Guest Restaurant.
Belle's Village will also include Gaston's Tavern and Bonjour! Village Gifts, with Enchanted Tales with Belle located outside village and providing an interactive re-telling of the story.
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts operations, US and France, president Meg Crofton said: "Fantasyland is a place where a very special kind of memory is made.
"We are excited about sharing our treasured stories in new ways and giving guests the opportunity to interact with their favourite characters like never before."
Other new additions scheduled to open as part of the expansion in future years include the Princess Fairytale Hall (2013) and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (2014).
