ORDDU: My sisters and I decided to check up on the latest progress of the Magic Kingdom's on-going Fantasyland make-over. We've been watching all the fine-tuning that has been taking place and today, 9/2/12, when we swooped in over The Little Mermaid's attraction we were shocked to see that horrible, black tarpolian that is now covering the hole that was created in the side of the middle tower. The hole is situated where there was once a set of 3 arched windows. ORWEN: We also noticed that there is another set of arched windows being cut into the side of the tower walls. The are located to the left from where the other set of windows once were. ORDDU: We asked several cast members what was going on with Prince Eric's castle and none of them knew. However, we were somewhat able to figure out for ourselves what's going on. We never really liked the former positioning of the original set of windows, anyway. They just weren't properly centered. ORWEN: The Imagineers must have agreed so that must be why the windows are being moved to a better section of the tower. As soon as the new castle walls that separate the old Fantasyland from the New Fantasyland are open, you'll be able to walk toward Prince Eric's castle with those 3 arched windows facing you as you approach it. ORDDU: It will certainly look nicer that way. When the windows were so far to the right you couldn't see them while approaching the castle from the front. So it really does make sense that they would be re-positioned. But we can't help wondering why this wasn't figured out right at the beginning. We hope that horrible hole disappears asap because it's quite an eye sore in the meantime. ORGOCH: Well, what I wanna' know is why they got palm tress goin' in around Prince Alergic's castle? Ain't The Little Metermaid a Danish story? They don't got palm trees in Denmark!! Why they got 'em in the new Fantastic Land next ta the Little Metermaid's ride?

So I had to shorten it. There was only enough room for 'Prince Eric has a Hole in his New'. So I made a judgement call that should've been okay for everybody! You're just too much of a fuss budget!!!
