Akershus Question...

[jas0202]

...so I know that Belle is typically the "greeter" and then a sampling of varying princess circulate inside. I have seen pics in trip reports with autographs and photos and conversations and such INSIDE with princesses. My question is about Belle though...will she pose for personal photos, interact with my girls, and give autographs while in her capacity as the "greeter?" Will she circulate inside also? Or is she like Donald at Tusker House who you see for a total of 10 seconds for a quick say cheese and you are rushed away? One of my kiddos is MAJOR into Belle and we would like to chat with her and get her autograph! Just trying to figure out a plan of attack.

Thanks for your help!

Whenever we've gone for supper and had photo taken with Belle, she did not circulate again. She can be also found around the French pavilion if your kids want more time with her. I've seen Sleeping Beauty as the photo princess at lunch before. Can anyone confirm if Sleeping Beauty is usually the photo princess at lunch or whether than was just a 1-time thing?

You can take a few pics with your personal camera, photopass is there, too, but they aren't going to let you stay with her for very long. She did sign our autograph book and she does not circulate in the dining room.

Belle can also be found in the France pavilion for meet and greet, as pp said. She's in her blue dress, and sometimes Beast is with her. If your kids really like her you should also check out Belle's storytime at MK.

We have been 3 times and never seen any princess other than Belle as greeter. Aurora can also be found in the France pavilion, usually in the garden.

As the PP said, she will sign your autograph books and you can take photos with your personal camera at Akershus, but for truly personal interaction I'd also recommend the Storytime at MK.

After that show (which includes audience participation - she picks kids out of the first couple of rows to act out parts in the story), she comes back out for a meet-and-greet, and so if you hang out after the show you'll meet her with less time constraint than at Akershus. She'll be in her blue dress, just like when she does the open meets at France in Epcot.

Same that we experienced. Although we didn't have an autograph book (my son didn't want one). The cast member in charge of her asked if we did before we got up there, though. But she came out and got our son's hand and talked to him for a minute before the picture. I guess that would be the autograph time. Then the pictures (we had 2 since we were a party of 5).

She did not circulate. Now for dinner at the Royal Table she did in her blue dress.

My experience was in line with your 10 second comment. They were really crowded the morning we were there and while I did get to take pictures with my personal camera I felt rushed. We certainly were "hurried" along during our few minutes with Belle.
