Little Red Riding Hood recently reopened after a very long refurbishment. In fact, it was more of a total rebuild! The new building is now up to modern safety standards, and looks refreshed and wonderful!

Next year we will see the addition of a new fairy tale to Efteling’s fairy tale forest… Pinocchio! The Efteling Theatre’s newest production also happens to be Pinocchio, showing later this year. The new fairy tale will be placed between the Red Shoes and Little Red Riding Hood, where an old food counter stands which hasn’t been used for some time (In de Noordpool).
We look forward to it!

I still get a lot of folks asking me what Efteling is. Well here are some photos of the Fairy Tale Forest (Sprookjesbos). This is where it all began, although naturally a lot of things have come and a couple have things have gone since the opening in 1952. Take a moment to enjoy some fairy tale goodness in the form of our Sprookjesbos photos. Click the image below to have a look:
Sprookjes bestaan!

Saturdays during the Summer in Efteling are very busy. It turns out that Sundays are also quite busy, because of course it is still the weekend. The one part of the park that most people seem to head to first is the fairy tale forest, and last Sunday it was very busy in there. Amongst the biblical amount of mothers with strollers, toddlers running around trying to get a good look at their favourite fairy tales, and older folks trying to get some good photos, there was a man tentatively shuffling through the masses with a tray full to the edges with cups of hot coffee (with no lids on). Where he had come from, who knows, because he wasn’t walking in, but rather out.
We kind of wondered if he made it to the other end without scalding anyone 🙂

A while ago, we were asked if we wanted to write an article for MiceChat.com about Efteling. So of course we couldn’t pass up the opportunity! We asked you all to send us your thoughts on Efteling, and a few of you did, which we included in the article. Today, it was published on the site, and we’re happy to share it with you now 🙂
With thanks to Keith Gluck and Dusty Sage.

Two lovely photos were left on our Facebook wall by Mark van der Horst yesterday.
He also left a little message:
‘After 18:00 hours, everything except the restaurants and Aquanura closes or shuts down. But that’s exactly when we love to walk through the Fairy tale Forest. Of course we also love it throughout the normal opening hours, but after that it’s so tranquil and peaceful.
The weather was amazingly nice yesterday, especially at the end of the day when we traveled through the Fairytale Forest, and took some pictures with nothing more than our iPhones.’
We especially love the second photo. Langnek taking a break after a long day as the sun goes down 🙂

You may or may not know that the newest fairy tale to be constructed in the Fairy Tale Forest is the Emperor’s New Clothes. The construction has been ongoing for many months now, but things are starting to take shape. We can see the palace façade here:

It seems that this fairy tale will be similar to the Flying Fakir, in the sense that the majority of it will take place outside, rather than inside the building. It is believed that the figures, such as the Emperor and his footmen, will ‘walk’ along in front of the palace; and possibly the tailor of the Emperor’s clothes will be visible in silhouette in a smaller building, off to one side.
These figures also turned up at Efteling recently (click the image for a closer look):

They appear to be completely made from some sort of resin or plastic, which is perfect for the weather that Efteling sometimes experiences! However, some Efteling fans have noted that this ‘look’ is rather different from the other stories in the forest, and that these figures look a bit too plastic! While we understand these concerns, we have faith that Efteling are creating something wonderful.
If you are visiting Efteling soon, look for the construction between Cinderella and the Little Match Girl.
