The Original Disney Fairies Website

If you love the original Disney Fairies books and Pixie Hollow, what I’m about to share with  you is going to BLOW YOUR MIND!  😀

Introduction to the Original Disney Fairies Website

One of my favorite authors is the amazingly talented Gail Carson Levine. She wrote Ella Enchanted, The Two Princesses of Bamarre, The Fairy’s Return and Other Princess Tales, and many more wonderfully written books that I couldn’t put down  🙂 

What you may not have known is that she also wrote Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg – the very first book to explain the world of fairies (a.k.a. Pixie Hollow)!!! Gail said on her website, “This is the volume that launched a thousand books in the Disney Fairies series.” Pretty awesome!  😉 

Gail’s favorite book as a child was Peter Pan by James M. Barrie. “As I read it, I fell in love with Peter. I decided Wendy was an idiot for leaving him, and I wished I could jump inside the book to make things right. So I was delighted to get the chance to go to Never Land on my own. I didn’t travel there to marry Peter. My job was to invent the island’s fairies (other than Tinker Bell), to expand Tink’s character, and to figure out where and how the fairies lived. Most of all, I hoped to come upon the source of the magic that prevents everyone on Never Land from growing old. I discovered that fairies can’t fly with wet wings and that their wings never hurt, no matter what befalls them.”

Here’s a little timeline for you to follow as I reveal the BIG NEWS:

– Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg was published and released on September 21, 2005.

– Just a couple of weeks later on October 4, 2005, the Disney Fairies website was launched to promote the book and give readers the ability to create a fairy, meet the famous fairies from the book, visit Pixie Hollow, and some other fun features:

– Almost a year later, the Pixie Hollow online virtual world was released in September 2006, and the website was completed redone (to how we remember it):

Awesome, right? Well here’s the even better news: The original Disney Fairies website and all of its contents were “internet archived” once the new site took its place, but a few forum fairies found some links in the archive that STILL WORK – so you can view and interact in the original site!!!  😮

Sadly, you can’t create a fairy, but you can do a bunch of other cool things!  🙂

Now, you should know that this tour (along with the website) has some glitches and “pages not found” when you click on certain things, because the website was completely redesigned so there were a lot of loose ends that never got tied up, but it’s still pretty awesome  🙂
