Many places list them as the same (e.g. Musque de Provence aka Fairytale). Johnny's describes MDP as "sometimes called Fairytale..." In any event, it (they?) is a moschata, not a pepo. I've seen it described as having "10 foot vines" but mine easily grow 20' on very average soil, so leave plenty of room. Fruit size for me is generally 12-15 lbs. but I've had them over 20 lbs. I just tossed one on the compost pile that I picked in August of 2010, so they're good keepers as well.
