Bonjour! Good day! How is your family, Talaysa?
I'm so glad you decided to be our guest at our little (not-so-quiet) village of planDisney. We've all got a dreamy far-off look thinking about our next Disney Parks vacation and ensuring we give the most thoughtfully researched answers to each of our guests.
As a fan of this classic Disney film, you'll want to head straight to the
Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along in EPCOT when you arrive in a few weeks. Tucked near the back of the France Pavilion, guests can enjoy this 15-minute film featuring a few of the movie's beloved songs. I have a feeling you already know all the lyrics, but you'll find them captioned on the screen as you're invited to sing along.
Belle doesn't typically make a live appearance here, but you might just find her available for a meet and greet along the promenade between Chefs de France and Spice Road Table. Meeting times are viewable right in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App. Simply navigate to the map icon along the bottom of the screen (second from left) and select "Characters" from the drop-down menu at the top. You can view an alphabetical list to find Belle and many other favorite friends' greeting times and locations throughout the parks.
Now, I don't believe Belle will be able to sing with you during her meet and greet as she will likely have a line of guests waiting to admire her beauty up close. As you know she has many books, adventures, and enchanting experiences to keep her busy for days on end, but I'm sure she'd be thrilled to sign your autograph book, pose for some photos, and maybe even listen to a few bars if you'd like to quickly serenade her. I've seen her in her blue provincial dress at this location but you might also want to visit her when she makes her way to
Enchanted Tales with Belle at Magic Kingdom Park. I remember attending this interactive experience with my kids a few years ago and loved seeing her beautiful yellow gown. I won't spoil any surprises but you'll want to watch and maybe even participate in this show if given the chance.
After you've sung your heart out and perfected your acting, you'll probably have worked up an appetite. Head to
Gaston's Tavern for a Warm Cinnamon Roll that's roughly the size of a barge, and wash it down with a refreshing LeFou's Brew. These are perfect for sharing seated inside the antler-decorated space, or at an outdoor table. If you have a taste for fine dining try to secure a reservation at
Be Our Guest Restaurant before your arrival. This prix-fixe 3-course meal is a must for any
Beauty and the Beast fan. You might even have the chance to explore the forbidden West Wing to see the enchanted rose during your visit.
Reservations for this Table Service meal can be made 60 days in advance, and availability can go quickly. But don't fret if you haven't been able to secure a table. Keep checking for reservations up until your arrival and inquire about same-day availability in person. Guest plans change all the time so you might be pleasantly surprised to find something there that wasn't there before. You can even request to join the Walk-Up List from your My Disney Experience App when you're within close proximity.
Talaysa, come back and see us with more questions. "Certain as the sun rising in the east," you can always put our service to the test!
Magic and memories,
Amy
