Outside the castle and Belle's house is Gaston's tavern. It is themed to look like the tavern where Gaston sings his title song in the original film. The tavern has a portrait of Gaston over a large fireplace, with antlers and buck-skins hung on the wall.
Most of the glassware are mugs and barrells line the wall. Just outside the tavern is a water fountain of Gaston, posing, with his foot on LeFou's head

The Beast's Castle
History
In September 2009, it was announced at the D23 Expo that Fantasyland would be expanded to incorporate Disney Princess and Disney Fairies characters, along with a larger 3 ring circus-themed Dumbo area.
This attraction and other meet-and-greets will be added.
Meet and Greet
It was announced that the Beast's Castle would be included as a meet-and-greet with Belle.
Guests get to meet Belle outside of her father's cottage (where Ariel's Grotto used to be) and they explore the house. Belle reveals her magic mirror, which transports them to the Beast's Castle. Belle leads the way to the library and reads the guests the classic story. The castle is also an interactive walkthrough exhibit.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
History
In September 2009 at the first D23 expo, The Walt Disney Company announced the major expansion plan for Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom.[3] On January 18, 2011, it was announced that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train new roller coaster would be a part of the Fantasyland expansion plan.[4][5][6] It is expected to open in 2012.[2]
[edit] Ride
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will be a steel roller coaster which is mostly indoors, with some outdoor segments. Unlike other Disney Roller Coasters like California Screamin and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, this attraction will be less intense and be a more family oriented Roller Coaster. It will feature a new roller coaster ride system that will simulate swaying and tipping one would expect to experience in a mine cart

The Great Goofini
History
A petting zoo named Grandma Duck's Petting Farm previously occupied the site.[1] This petting zoo was home to Minnie Moo, a holstein cow that was famous for having a Hidden Mickey on its side.[2] She was moved to Fort Wilderness after the Barnstormer was built. Minnie Moo died in 2001 from natural causes.[3] The barn which housed the petting zoo was integrated into this ride.
In 1996, The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm was constructed and on October 1,[citation needed] it officially opened to the public.[4] The attraction was one of three at American Disney parks (including Grizzly River Run at Disney's California Adventure and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios) which took its name from former attractions at the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee.
Mickey's Toontown Fair closed permanently in February of 2011 in order to make way for the expansion of Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland.[5] Some elements of Mickey's Toontown Fair will be demolished and others will be re-themed to a new Storybook Circus area. The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm is being re-themed to The Great Goofini.[6] "The New Fantasyland will be constructed in phases with most new experiences open by 2013."[7]
[edit] Story
The Barnstormer in Mickey's Toontown Fair was found at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm.[4] It appeared to be an airplane school taught by Goofy. The story behind this ride included guests flying in Goofy's homemade airplane as it swooped, twisted and turned.[8] It then went full speed into a barn. Inside the barn were Audio-Animatronic chickens[8] from Epcot's former World of Motion attraction. The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm was similar to Gadget's Go Coaster at Mickey's Toontown in Disneyland and Toontown in Tokyo Disneyland.
In the attraction's queue, near the "popcorn plants", guests could see a mess of wires which formed a Hidden Mickey.[9]
[edit] Ride
Guests board one of two trains which each site 16 riders. The train is taken up a chain lift hill to a height of 9.1 metres (30 ft). 207 metres (679 ft) of twists, turns, and elevation changes follow, before the ride comes to a halt in the brake run. Riders will reach a top speed of 40.2 kilometres per hour (25.0 mph) on the one-minute ride.[10]

The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Under Sea Adventure
HistoryA dark ride featuring The Little Mermaid was supposed to open at Disneyland Paris and Magic Kingdom parks in the early to mid 90's. Early plans for Hong Kong Disneyland also included this ride. The ride was scrapped, but a visual idea was included on the Platinum Edition DVD of The Little Mermaid in 2006.[5]
A different version is scheduled to open June 3, 2011 at Disney California Adventure.[1] The ride will take the place in the area of the theater that played host to the Golden Dreams movie hosted by Whoopi Goldberg. The theater itself has been torn down. The restrooms by Golden Dreams have been relocated across the way in the San Francisco buildings. The previous area they occupied has been torn down and is taken up by part of the show building. [1] In September 2009, Disney officials announced that Mickey's Toontown Fair at the Magic Kingdom would be demolished,[6] leaving Goofy's Barnstormer to be rethemed to The Great Goofini.[7] This will give more room to Fantasyland, which will be filled with this ride and meet-and-greets with the Disney Princesses and a larger Dumbo area.[6]
[edit] Summary[edit] Queue areaThe attraction will be set underwater. At Disney California Adventure, the building is modeled after a 20th-century aquarium. The Palace of Fine Arts replica from Golden Dreams will remain but redecorated with an Ariel statue on top.[8] A garden and water play area is planned to accompany the ride; it will be located next to the show building. In the Magic Kingdom, the building will be featured in a recreation of Prince Eric's castle. Guests will walk across a bridge over a pond that resembles a beach with the castle on it. A statue of Ariel doing the famous pose in Part of Your World (reprise) will be featured on the left of the bridge.
To the left of the attraction is an entrance labeled "Ariel's Grotto", suggesting that the meet-and-greet with Ariel will be moved closer to the attraction.
[edit] RideThe attraction will be a dark ride, similar to Peter Pan's Flight and Snow White's Scary Adventures, but it will have an Omnimover ride system like the one currently in use at the Haunted Mansion. The ride will transport guests under the sea and will focus on many of the major scenes and musical numbers from the movie. Guests will ride in cars themed to resemble large seashells; one car designed for use by wheelchair guests will be themed to resemble Triton's chariot.
Characters will include Ariel, Prince Eric, King Triton, Sebastian, Flounder, and Ursula.[9] Scuttle will narrate the story of Ariel's Undersea Adventure. The music will be composed by the original film's composer, Alan Menken. Jodi Benson confirmed in an interview in June 2010 that she will be lending her voice for the attraction.
