Tinker Bell introduces her fairy friends to Magic Kingdom guests

Meet Tinker Bell and her new fairy friends — Fawn, an animal fairy; Iridessa, a light fairy; Rosetta, a garden fairy; and Silvermist, a water fairy — who will be greeting guests in their new Pixie Hollow home from October 24, 2008.

Pixie Hollow will be located in Toon Town – and in order to visit Tink and her fairy friends guests will have to walk along a corridor which will shrink them down to fairy size. The fairies will be available throughout the day to sign autographs and pose for pictures with young and old alike — I think this may be one meet and greet that will appeal to Dad as much as his little princess!

Here are some fun Tinker Bell facts courtesy of Walt Disney World:

Tinker Bell debuted at Walt Disney World Resort in 1971, as the classic attraction Peter Pan’s Flight opened in Fantasyland. The beloved attraction immerses guests in the “Peter Pan” story as passengers board flying pirate ships bound for Never Land.

Tinker Bell began “flying” from high atop Cinderella Castle in 1985. Since then, she has taken her flight thousands of times to light the sky with magical fireworks.

Tinker Bell made her Walt Disney World parade debut in 2007. She made that premiere appearance atop a float in “Disney’s Enchanted Adventures Parade,” an entertainment extravaganza during Disney’s Pirate and Princess Party.

Tinker Bell merchandise continually ranks among the top sellers of character-based merchandise at Walt Disney World Resort.

P.S. Do you want to know the secret to being able to get the most out of your Disney World vacation? It's the one thing that the majority of guests don't know about, but that can allow you to see more in one morning than everyone else can experience in their entire trip. Click here to find out more
