In February we wrote about a contest held by Disney Fairies Pixie Hollow that invited artists everywhere to create their own Fairy house design in which the director of the upcoming movie “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue ” would choose a winner who would then receive a vacation for four to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida as well as have their creation featured at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.

That winner has been selected and it is none other than 15-year-old Zoe P., from Frazier Park, California. She and her family were honored on April 3 in a special ceremony at Hollow Garden in Walt Disney World.

Zoe P, winner of the pixiehollow.com “Design a Fairy House” contest closely examines her
Fairy House at Epcot. Her design was chosen from thousands of entries and built by the
horticulture team at Walt Disney World Resort.

Here is the official press release from the Walt Disney Company.

Tinker Bell Gets Her Own Meet-and-Greet Area at Disneyland

David Wallace — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:18:36 +0000

Move over princess Ariel and make room for Tinker Bell. A new “meet-and-greet” area called Pixie Hollow has taken the place of Ariel’s Grotto which is located near the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Here you’ll be able to meet Tinker Bell in person which of course will offer excellent photo opportunities. The soft opening occurs today with the official opening will occur sometime next week.

Visitors walking past an “enchanted” pond will feel as though they are shrinking to the size of a fairy through a series of visual and audio cues. Bronze statues of the five Disney fairies — Fawn, Iradessa, Rosetta, Silvermist and, of course, Tinker Bell line the pathway. Along the way, whispers and echoes emanate from the fantasy fairy world. Tinker Bell, played by a 5-foot-tall face character, poses for photos in front of her home, an upside-down tea pot.

It would be expected that Tinker Bell would be a hot commodity right now with the release of the Tinker Bell movie on DVD. In the movie, Tinker Bell believes her fairy talent as a “tinker” isn’t as special or important as the other fairies’ talents. However when she tries to change who she is, nothing but disaster ensues. With encouragement from her friends Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn and Iridessa, Tink learns the key to solving her problems lies in her unique tinker abilities and discovers that when shes true to herself, magical things can happen.

And what will become of Ariel? Is she out of a home? Not quite. Shedding her tailfin and donning a dress, the Little Mermaid can be found in the Princess Fantasy Faire at the Fantasyland Theater.
