Disneyland Is About To Get Hairy

CONCEPT ART OF THE TANGLED EXTERIOR LOCATION AT DISNEYLAND
(Yes - it's a preview thanks to Photoshop - not yet built)

Starting October 15 Disney's Rapunzel and Flynn Rider (from the coming-soon-feature-animation Tangled) will be greeting guests at Disneyland Park in Anaheim. According to this announcement HERE, it looks like they'll be meeting-and-greeting in Magic Kingdom in Orlando too. (See the link for details of what's getting bumped to make room for the 'Tangled Experience'.)

From Disney.com's First Look:
Rapunzel will be greeting guests in the location that currently houses Gepetto’s Sweet Shoppe.

[THIS IS CONCEPT ART FOR THE INTERIOR]

We’re sharing a first glimpse of concept art created for Rapunzel’s new meet-and-greet location in Fantasyland. As you can see in the image above, Rapunzel’s 70-feet of golden locks will drape luxuriously around the room. Flynn Rider, Rapunzel’s love interest, will also be on hand to meet and greet guests throughout the day.
What? No hair salon? ;)

  1. I'm sure that a hair salon (or at least hair products galore) is just around the corner.

    I'm curious how Disney will handle the live actresses who wander the parks and greet guests as Rapunzel. Will they have specially fabricated wigs that they carry or wear wrapped around their bodies? Since the romantic interest -- and not the latest princess herself -- will be on hand, I guess they are still working out the *cough* hairy *cough* details.

  2. There is, in fact, a hair salon just around the corner from the sweet shop at D-land: a boutique where little girls can get princess-fied. I imagine they're stocking up on extra-long wigs and faux-extensions as we speak.
