On Wednesday, Sept 4th, the entire Mickeys Philharmonic audience was invited to venture behind the Fantasyland expansion construction wall. Most folks including my wife and took advantage of this offer. We had no idea as to what we were going to preview. Once we were on the other side of the wall we learned we would be visiting "Enchanted tales with Belle". The basic premise for this attraction is for us to help Belle fall in love by participating in a skit with heavy audience participation. Of the 40-50 people in the room, I'd estimate that nearly 20 people were "volunteered" to play a role in the play. I was tapped to play a knight and my wife had the role of a picture frame.
The CMs are still trying to work the kinks out of this new attractions. Don't know if the finished product will be the same as what we experienced, but if so, plan on spending nearly 40 minutes at this attraction. The small building that houses this attraction is nicely themed. The 1st room is kind of a waiting area. The 2nd room contains a pre show where they will pick actors, and the 3rd room has the set where the play is conducted along with lots of photos at the end by the photopass photographer.
It was an interesting experience, getting a sneak peak at a new attraction, but as a 50ish couple, this is probably something we will skip when it opens.
