Meeting Belle at MK

[floogen6]

My wife and I got a wild hair and have decided to try and shoot down in Dec. for our youngest's 4th Bday. Being that she is a Belle freak we are trying to figure ou thte best way to meet Belle as it would make the weekend trip for her. ANy suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

In MK, there is Storytime with Belle, where Belle tells the story of Beauty and the Beast with volunteers from the audience. I believe it is on the right side of the castle...I personally have never been to the storytelling, but I heard it is very entertaining! As for other places in the MK to see Belle...maybe the toontown judges tent? I am not 100% sure of this. (BTW...in Epcot...Belle and the Beast are nomally found in France!)

I second the Storytime with Belle recommendation. It's about a 15-minute "show" and then Belle does a meet & greet afterwards. If it matters, she's in her white and blue peasant dress.

It's probably your best bet to meet her. Lines to meet the princesses in Toontown can be quite long. The crowds at Storytime aren't that large, because it's kind of an overlooked attraction.

Both times in EPCOT, Belle was the princess that you took your picture with in Akeraus (Norway restaurant).

I took my nieces to see Belle, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty at Toontown last week. The princesses were SO nice to them! They each took the time to talk to the girls, and then took really nice pictures. The wait was not long at all, and the meeting area was inside and air-conditioned!!!

When I went to Epcot in France, Belle was in her blue and white dress, I guess it is different some days!

I just heard from another disney site that Storytime With Belle will have its last show September 12th to make way for a new attraction involving characters from the new "Tangled" movie.

I would get to Toontown as soon as it opens and head right to the Judge's Tent to see Belle. I believe Toontown is usually listed as opening at 10 am or so but generally they drop the rope a little earlier than that. If you are among the first to get to the tent you will not have to wait on the long lines and your DD will have plenty of time with Belle. And if I am not mistaken, she is dressed in her yellow gown in the Tent whereas at Storytime with Belle and in EPCOT she is in her blue dress.

Belle (in her blue dress) is often at France in the World Showcase at Epcot. I would think that would be a better bet than MK.
