Disney World annual passholders attending screenings of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure last weekend were among the first to hear about plans for a larger fairy presence at Disney. Highlights include:

•In about a month, Magic Kingdom guests can meet Terence — the character who distributes pixie dust — in the Pixie Hollow area of Toon Town. He will pose for photos and sign autographs with the other fairies.

•The Pixie Hollow area at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival will almost double in size in 2010. Blueprints indicate a garden maze leading to a new Terence topiary, and a Vidia topiary will be added.

•When Lost Treasure is released Oct. 27, the DVD will include a bonus feature that shows the making of this year’s Pixie Hollow garden.
