Enchanted tale with Belle - wait time

[tchan03]

I actually attempted to make Fastpass+ selection with this one, but the time available is all in the afternoon, not good.

If i go right to this attraction first thing in the morning, how long should i expect to wait?
Thanks
TC

On our last trip, we went straight to ETWB right at RD. We walked through the castle at the 2nd RD at Fantasy land. As soon as they let us through we speed walked and were able to get in the first group. If you can do that you should be fine with no wait at all. Good luck!

When is your trip?

This was actually the longest we waited for anything during our Feb 2013 trip. We got in line about 10:00 and waited over 90 min.

If it's a priority, go there FIRST at RD for sure.

We managed to be in the second group last March, but we stationed ourselves well up close to the rope to the left of the MK welcome show area -- so that we couldn't really see the opening welcome show.

And then we seriously speedwalked it.

Folks further back in the Rope Drop crowd and/or folks walking a normal pace probably faced a 30-minute wait by the time they got to Belle's cottage.

I'd say that this is the toughest attraction at any of the parks to arrive in time for a short wait at Rope Drop. Much more difficult than Toy Story Mania or Soarin.

Are you sure that the only available FP+ times are in the afternoon? It might not be showing you morning times if they conflict with your other FP+ or ADR. Did you select one of Option A, B, C, D, and then try to go in and change the FP+ time? You're not stuck with just the original A-D options if you don't like the times for them.

For those of you that have seen this, is it worth it? My DD is 11, and wouldn't be enamored with a "story time" show anymore. Is it more than just Belle telling a story?

It was worth it for our 5 year old DS. My first thought is that based on your description, it may not be worth it for her. It's mostly Belle telling a story, but there are interactive parts with CMs prior to that, and just seeing inside is an experience in itself.
