According to Jim Hill and several informed posters over at WDWMagic, the Pixie Hallow portion of the Fantasyland expansion may have been scrapped.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. In fact, when I first heard it announced, I had little to no faith it would actually get built. Disney Princesses will live on forever but the Disney Fairies will come and go rather quickly. By the time they reach that phase, they'll be all but forgotten.

We spoke with Jim Hill about this on our podcast. He pointedly said that Tom Staggs has many of the concerns that us fans have but for different reasons. To Staggs basically the question has become, "is this really the best way to spend our money". They seem to be considering other options for Fantasyland and the Magic Kingdom as a whole. Pixie Hollow is definitely out.

So what you're saying is that the plans for Pixie Hollow were hollow all along.

Looks like there is more changes in store than just the Pixie Hallow area...

Disney says Fantasyland expansion plans are changing

Quote:

Disney is redrawing the sweeping Fantasyland expansion plans it laid out last year, even as bulldozers clear land for the project inside the Magic Kingdom. With the revisions, begun under new Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs, designers are attempting to rebalance the plans, which initially tilted heavily towards young girls by emphasizing attractions and experiences built around Disney’s stable of animated-movie princesses. “We took a hard look at it amongst a number of us and said, ‘Can we make the appeal broader? Can we make it even better?’ “ Staggs said during an interview this week with the Orlando Sentinel. .... Staggs declined to discuss specific changes to the Fantasyland plans, saying Disney would unveil them “in due course.” .... Staggs said much of what was included in the original plans will be incorporated into the final product and that the changes are “improving it on the margin.” He characterized the revisions as part of any creative project’s natural evolution.
