Best Time to Ride Enchanted Tales with Belle
This innovative Fantasyland walk-through experience combines advanced audio-animatronics with audience participation as guests help retell the story of Beauty and the Beast inside Beast's Castle. A magical mirror 'transports' visitors to Beast's library where a remarkably lifelike Lumiere figure helps assign roles. Selected guests then perform alongside Belle herself. The storytelling and technology make this much more than a typical character meet — it's a genuinely magical experience, especially for young fans.
