Archives: Snow White’s Scary Adventures – Fantasyland – Magic Kingdom

UPDATE MAY 24, 2012: Snow White’s Scary Adventures is scheduled to close May 31, 2012 to make way for a new meet and greet area called Princess Fairytale Hall. Located in the Castle Courtyard in the center of Fantasyland, Princess Fairytale Hall will be the new home for visiting royalty in the Magic Kingdom. The castle-like entrance will feature walls of stone and stained glass windows. The entrance will open into a large gallery — an airy space with a high ceiling and portraits of Disney Princesses. When it’s time for their audience with a princess, guests will proceed to an elegantly finished room to meet her. Princess Fairytale Hall is set to debut in late 2013.

ATTRACTION

 

SNOW WHITE’S SCARY ADVENTURES — Board the wooden diamond mine cars and follow Snow White as she wanders through the Enchanted Forest, meets the Seven Dwarfs, and encounters the Wicked Witch.

Yes, the ride is themed to Snow White, but the Wicked Witch is featured and appears throughout the 2.5 minute ride. See notes below in the Kids’ Section!

The ending is a happy one as Snow White and the Prince live happily ever after.
