Character storytime?

[sharibrat]

I just got my packet from AAA and they are touting a "character storytime" in magic kingdom - making it sound like it is for AAA packages only. Has anybody done this? is it worth it?

My dad didnt look over our packet until we got to checkin. We tried to get into the storytime but it was booked. So make sure if you do want to do it to get ARs. From what we were told, a character reads a story to kids. Didnt seem like a big deal for us, especially since I dont think our kids would sit still long enough (the 4 yr old would want to do rides, the 1 yr doesnt sit still for anything).

if this was located at the grand floridian. it's typicaly Alice, and sometimes the hat hatter joins her.

Now, I don't know if they still do this, as I don't have kids and don't normally look for it, but, in the little area over by the castle in MK, just outside of Cosmic Rays, there's a little place where characters used to come out and read children stories to children. I dont know if this is it (I dont think so) but you may want to see if this still happens.

It says it is in Exposition Hall, Magic Kingdom. You do need to make reservations so it's not the same as the Belle storytime.

We did this in August, mainly just to see what it was like.

If you have a package through AAA you can go to the storytime. Make ressies up to 90 days ahead. The stories are offered late afternoon on Mondays and Thursdays and last for about 20 minutes. You check in at a podium, then go to the theater at the back of Exposition Hall. A character comes and reads a story, then you have time for photos and autographs. Our character was Aladdin.

It was a nice experience, though DS9 was a bit old for it.

good to see they are using the old theater in the back again for more than just company functions.

I think this is now referred to Storytime with Belle where they Belle tells her story. Our kids loved this.
