You enter and get shunted off to one side or the other, where you shuffle along meeting the three Princesses in their dedicated meeting rooms. Then you exit out towards a small gift shop, with a themed ODV wagon nearby. Add in the stage show under the tent, and a queuing space on the other side of the courtyard, and you've got the new Fantasy Faire. It's a basic concept, but at least they are really going in big with the architecture and theme for this one. It looks nice, and will be a nice environment for the girls for decades to come.

The meeting halls are indoor, obviously, but the outdoor tent and courtyard space where the food cart and gift shop are expand the "theme" quite a bit over the WDW version.

We'd all rather wait in line for rides. <He's only five, but I'm always catching him gawking at the ladies. I think my son had a 'thing' for Ariel last year, when he was 4. Must be the shell bikini top.

I was freaked out at first by my son's love for women at such an early age. I mean when he chose to put a picture of Spider WOMAN with her big boobs and curves in his superhero collage over SpiderMAN and then he got all red in the face and told me not to mention another word about it, I thought I had a littler perv on my hands. I've since found out that apparently all little boys are pervs, so it's normal. lol
