It does sound like a conspiracy.
Lucky that you were able to get a picture of Katie and Belle together. Did she have participate in the Enchanted tales with Belle in order for you to get the picture? Julia thinks Katie looks prettier then Belle. Did she go to BBB to get her hair done? I know you were upset that Belle would not be out in her Christmas dress, did you have any luck at all finding her in it?
Well, anyone who saw me posting on those Belle threads probably thought I had gone off my rocker, but things like this are what I love about Disney. Scrapbooking and photography are my hobbies and I love to plan these photo ops. I was so excited to think we could break out that Belle gown again, only to then think we might not even get a photo with Belle.
I left off the part about losing Belle in her red from
MVMCP from my list. I actually emailed Disney when that leaked out. They called but were so full of crap......... I mean nonsense.......... They said they were listening to people about Belle and were going to try and have her out in Epcot in her red earlier in December. Maybe even add Beast back there or add Beast to the party. I should keep my eyes out for them. Yeah. Yadda yadda yadda. I didln't believe any of it at the time, and it indeed was not true. Any of it. So no, we never saw Belle in her red. (Well never met her. She is in the MVMCP parade in her red). I read since then that she wore red at Akershus during Christmas week, which is exactly what they have done every other year.
Katie wasn't real excited when I told her at first she needed to participate to get a photo, but then when we watched the video online, she saw it wasn't like participating in the old Belle's Storytime, and even adults were participating, so she didn't mind. She was a set of silverware one time, a feather duster the other.
Tell Julie thank you for the kind words. I'll pass them along to Katie.
Yes, we did go to BBB that morning. I wasn't fond of the hairstyle with the Cindy gown she wore at the time, but loved it with the Belle.
That is QUITE the experience with booking the ADRs! I wish I had planned my Feb trip more in advance so we could have gotten Be Our Guest, but we've got some other fun places and will just do lunch to satisfy us!
I'm excited to hear all about it!
It was all part of the adventure of this trip! So many people came away disappointed though. What a horrible day for them. I have a friend who I knew was going to Disney at the same time. She had seen the announcement about the 8/20 date, but never saw the revised start time. So when she logged on at noon, everything was gone. I kept watching for a cancellation for them, but every time one came up, it never seemed to show back up in the system.
I forgot you had gotten the Beast. He is so cute
He sure is a cutie, isn't he?
So excited to read the new trip report! I don't think I ever commented on the other one but I read it! Katie and her dresses are gorgeous!
Also, we just got back from Disney and it seems the only place to get the beast stuffed animal anymore is the store in Belle's village. Our
Disney store used to carry it but when I finally went to get it at Christmastime, they didn't have any and said they would no longer carry it.
I went to all the stores at DTD, and found every stuffed animal except beast! No where in MK either except that one store in Belle's village. But now $40 later, I am a proud beast owner.
Well, if it helps any, I don't think he was a lot less when I bought him at the Disney store. I don't remember, but he was at least $30. I should have bought him a few weeks earlier when they were all on sale. I thought about it. But then I figured he would just make me mad if I didn't get ADRs and had to look at him every day!
That kind of taunting I could do without!
He really is nice though. I'm glad I got him. Glad you did too! And I'm glad you're reading along!
