| Merch under the Big Top |
When I was in Walt Disney World I the chance to see
Storybook Circus and experience the new Dueling Dumbos. Also I got a tour of
the new merchandise “tent” Big Top Souvenirs with friend and employee @deblady
Dana. They do it all under the Big Top, snacks, hats, clothing you name it.
Directly across from the shop is Dumbo’s new location.
In the Big Top everything is themed to a traveling circus, I’m
just glad that clowns aren’t in here cause then I would be creeped out. The carpet
around the middle of the room looks like it is a weaved together canvas ring. Around
the center are the registers and a snack station where dipped apples and
popcorn are available. There is a hat station to have your favorite ears embroidered
in the back of the store as well. All the merchandise that you would normally
find all around the park you can find here.

Goofy’s Barnstormer is back and re-themed to fit the new area.
But to me and probably all the kids the dueling Dumbos are the main attraction.
The new design carries over the circus theme and if you can remember the movie
the waiting area has elements of the movie. Floating around the ceiling is
Dumbo and Timothy Mouse. Inside the waiting area you come up to a cast member
who finds out how many are in your party then gives you a pager. The kids have
a big play area while the adults can either chase the little ones or have a
seat on the bleachers. Everything is wonderfully done and I have to say we
waited about 20 minutes to ride Dumbo but it felt like five. I think it will be
harder to get the kids to want to leave the waiting/play area to ride Dumbo. I can
say that my niece Tink is going to love it. What I can also say is that it was
my first time in memory that I have ridden Dumbo. Yeah that’s right I can’t
remember ever riding it before. What of it?
Well there is still more to come from Storybook Circus. Pete's Silly Side Show will be open soon and when it ties into the Enchanted Forest it will be a story to tell.
Enjoy a few pictures of the area and know that the theming
of the area is excellent.

ReplyDeleteWe saw this the 2nd week in October and I thought it was awesome. We rode Dumbo and I loved the new store and all the yummy treats looked so good.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the new fantasyland in December. Thanks for all the pics.
