Since plans for a completely updated Fantasyland expansion at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, some have been unhappy with the new attractions and meet and greets in this expansion. Ever since the $300 million dollar expansion plan was revealed at the D23 Expo last September, people have been arguing that ‘there is too much princess’ and ‘not enough for boys’. Luckily for some, Tom Staggs has heard you. And he has agreed.
Most of the expansion is covered by a new forest.
Gaston’s Tavern is a rumored Beauty and the Beast quick service restaurant.
A leaked blueprint of such updated plans shows that the rumored meet and greets with Aurora and Cinderlla are completely scratched, as are plans for Pixie Hollow.
But the plans also feature exciting, new plans. Such as the Snow White Mine Coaster Ride. Rumors for such an attraction have been floating around with the new Fantasyland for quite some time, and it looks like this rumor could turn into a reality.
Also, Dumbo has a very large new area in the expansion, overtaking most of the current Mickey’s Toontown Fair area. This new area includes Dumbo’s Big Top, which has a second Dumbo attraction, and a new tent with interactive games and more while guests wait to ride. A new Casey Jr. themed Food Stand and Shop is also pictured.
While all of this could be fake, we do know that the plans have been altered some how, but we will just have to wait and see what the final version looks like in a matter of years.

Pixie Hollow was a massive multiplayer online role-playing game addition to the Disney Fairies franchise that ran from 2008 to 2013. It was produced by DisneyToon Studios and developed by Schell Games. The game was released to coincide with the 2008 film, Tinker Bell and revolved around Tinker Bell, a fairy character created by J. M. Barrie in his play Peter Pan and incorporating her fairy friends from the Disney Fairies animated works by the Walt Disney Company.
Critical reception[edit]
GameZone gave the game 6/10.[3] The game received the Parents' Choice Award, Silver Honor.[4] The game also received the Parents' Choice Approved award.[5]
Pixie Hollow Online
A 2008 article from the magazine Variety about the site voiced concerns from parents that introducing children to online games at a young age may could 'one day make them a “World of Warcraft” addict.'[6] A New York Times article from 2007 voiced much of the same in its discussion about young children on the Internet,[7] and gave a short description of Pixie Hollow: 'The site will ultimately allow users to play games (“help create the seasons”) and interact with other “fairies.” When avatars move across the screen, they leave a sparkling trail of pixie dust, a carefully designed part of the experience.'
Closing[edit]
New Pixie Hollow Website
Pixie Hollow closed on September 19, 2013.[8] Its closure was poorly received by users, especially bloggers in the community, many of whom created petitions to 'save Pixie Hollow'.[9] Such efforts seem to have been in vain; the game closed as planned and has not reopened.

See full list on disneyfairies.fandom.com. Pixie Hollow is a character meet and greet attraction at Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland offering guests the opportunity to greet with Tinker Bell from the Disney Fairies franchise. The attraction is designed to create the illusion of gradually shrinking to Pixie size as the scenic elements in the queue increase in scale as guests approach Tinker Bell's teapot house. 21 images (& sounds) of the Pixie Hollow Games cast of characters.

The entrance is located at the top of the highest waterfall running down Never Land.
Rewrite and Revival[edit]
Fans remained active on blog sites such as WordPress, and have been able to form communities dedicated to memorializing the game. One such fan community, FairyABC, has created a 'rewrite' of the game, as of 2013. It started as a smaller game called 'My Fairy Maker' that was later shut down and reworked into FairyABC. Users there can join a virtual world similar to Pixie Hollow, but without many features of the original games. A second fan community, WeThePixies, was founded in 2017. After restructuring, We The Pixies has been working on another 'rewrite' of the game since 2018. Users can create a fairy and explore the demo; and join the We The Pixies discord for further updates on game release.
