Disney announces major park updates

Included are nearly doubling the size of Fantasyland (score!), updating Star Tours to include 3-D and stuff from the crappy newer films, and adding a bunch more stuff to California Adventure.

Only Fantasyland in Orlando will double though.

He also discussed Cars Land, a 12-acre addition to the park scheduled to open in 2012, where guests enter the fictional town of Radiator Springs that was the setting for the Pixar Animation film "Cars."

Rasulo offered a 3-D presentation of how Disney plans to reinterpret the Star Tours attraction, adding a pod-racing sequence from "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace."

A major new ride, tentatively called Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid, takes guests on a musical jaunt through the film, where they encounter characters such as Ursula the Sea Witch, singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls," and join Ariel and Prince Eric in the grotto. The attraction opens at California Adventure in Anaheim in 2011.

Ugh. Cars, Phantom Menace, and the Little Mermaid? Not for me. :P

Dammit, I should have read it more thoroughly. I loooooove Fantasyland.

Yeah, I thought the Cars thing was lame (did anyone actually see that movie?), but I do love the Little Mermaid.
