Since Toontown closed, our poor Fairy friends have been shuffled around a bit. But it seems that has come to an end as "Tinker Bell's Magical Nook" opened in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom. The decor and experience is nearly identical to what guests might remember from Tink's Toontown hangout, except that the area only accommodates two fairies at a time, rather than three. Most recently, Tink has been hanging out with Vidia, but I believe we'll see all our Fairy friends in the Nook from time to time.
The entrance to this somewhat hidden character meet-n-greet is between the Adventureland bridge and Aloha Isle (home of the ever-popular Dole Whip). While I'm still lamenting the loss of what would have been an elaborate Pixie Hollow section of the new Fantasyland expansion, I must admit that the Magical Nook is a decent alternative. I love seeing Disney spread their characters out a bit more--eventually having Princesses in Fantasyland and Fairies in Adventureland will help with crowding and wait times. And maybe Adventureland is where Tink belongs, considering her true origins (and, no, I don't mean her origins in the Fairy movies...I'm talking Peter Pan).
