It may be a tale as old as time, but the story of a girl and her adventures to rid her small, provincial village of not one, but two, savage beasts is beloved by many. In 1991, when Disney first introduced Belle to an audience primed for such a story (encouraging little girls everywhere to have the courage to see people from the inside, not the outside), the public fell in love with her and a cohort of villagers, animated furniture, and adorable animals \u2013 oh! And who could forget that yellow ballgown? Beauty and the Beast was an instant hit.<\/p>\n
When Disney announced that they were making a live-action version of this popular animated feature, someone in my family screamed that this was \u2018absolutely the best and a wish come true.\u2019 If you have a Beauty and the Beast<\/em> mad family member and you are heading to Walt Disney World<\/strong> soon, you might want to catch up with a few of our favorite French friends. Below is a list of Beauty and the Beast<\/em> related attractions, meet and greets, and merchandise locations at Walt Disney World. Some of these activities are for a limited time as a special celebration of the new movie.\u00a0 I have noted opening and closing dates when I am aware of them.<\/p>\n [What’s that? You and your family are hitting the west coast parks? Don’t worry, we have the Disneyland Resort covered in an article just for those visiting the west coast parks coming soon!]<\/p>\n Visiting:<\/em><\/p>\n Enchanted Tales with Belle<\/a> \u2013 New Fantasyland<\/p>\n This storytelling experience takes guests into Belle\u2019s story. This is not just for children. Those who participate get a photo with Belle at the end of the experience (she is in her yellow ballgown). No spoilers, but my then 16-year-old had this down as her \u2018to be done\u2019 for her birthday trip.<\/p>\n Meeting Gaston \u2013 New Fantasyland<\/p>\n Now that you have traveled into Belle\u2019s world, it is time to meet Gaston.\u00a0 He can be found outside of his tavern. Be prepared to be entertained while you wait in line and teased and played with when you finally make it to him.<\/p>\n Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom \u2013 Magic Kingdom Park<\/p>\n Several of the cards in this park interactive game are Beauty and the Beast<\/em> themed.<\/p>\n Eating:<\/em><\/p>\n Be Our Guest <\/a>\u2013 New Fantasyland<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If there is a Beauty and a Beast fan going with you to Magic Kingdom, make sure to get reservations for dinner at Be Our Guest. This amazing dining experience in Adam\u2019s Castle is not to be missed. During dinner only, Beast meets with guests for photo opportunities. You can also dine here for breakfast and lunch which is a good way to come along if you missed Dinner reservations. Beast won\u2019t be there but you can still get your taste of the grey stuff.<\/p>\n Gaston\u2019s Tavern<\/a> \u2013 New Fantasyland<\/p>\n This eatery serves mainly snack-type items but make sure the stop by and get your photo in Gaston\u2019s antler chair.<\/p>\n Cinderella\u2019s Royal Table<\/a> \u2013 Fantasyland<\/p>\n Belle is one of the princesses often seen at Cinderella\u2019s Royal Table. Here you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner with the princesses while you dine in the castle. For those collecting her costumes, Belle is usually seen in her blue, village dress but can sometimes be seen in her yellow ballgown.<\/p>\n Parade:<\/em><\/p>\n Festival of Fantasy Parade<\/a> \u2013 Parade Route<\/p>\n Belle is one of the princesses often seen in this parade. She usually is seen on her float with her Beast as her companion.<\/p>\n Visiting:<\/em><\/p>\n Meet Belle \u2013 France (World Showcase)<\/p>\n Belle meets her adoring fans in France.\u00a0 She is normally dressed in her blue, village dress.<\/p>\n Eating:<\/em><\/p>\n Princess Storybook Dining \u2013 Akershus Royal Banquet Hall<\/a><\/p>\n This princess dining experience is something special and is often overlooked by the princess mad crew. It\u2019s smaller and often quieter than Cinderella\u2019s.\u00a0 Belle will greet you before you sit down. For most the year, she\u2019s in her ballgown, but during Christmas she dons her gorgeous red velvet Christmas dress.<\/p>\nMagic Kingdom<\/strong><\/h3>\n
