The new Fantasyland expansion doesn't open to the public until Dec. 6, but special previews have been held to offer a taste of what's to come.
The new Fantasyland nearly doubles the size of this portion of the park from 11 to 21 acres, marking the largest expansion in the Magic Kingdom's 41-year history.
