Not that I wasn't looking forward to making birthday cards for Aurora or anything -- LOL!

There were still mounds of dirt all about here and there. But to finally see actual buildings being constructed was very encouraging.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Though, I just thought of something... Seeing I'm **hearing** it won't have a traditional show building, the scenes could be all out side ala BTMR. I dunno. For it to be SW, doesn't most of the action take place inside?

Originally Posted By yoyoflip93 Cinderella's meet and greet is being cut? I won't lie, Cinderella's Chateau was the only meet and greet that I was looking forward to see in Fantasyland. It was a great oppurtunity to fit in a walk-through experience of Cinderella at the park and allowed permanent meet and greets for Cindy, Lady Tremaine and the Step Sisters, and possibly the mice from the movie. It would have tied in well with Cinderella Castle being the icon of Magic Kingdom, as well. So yeah, I'm sad that this won't come to reality.
