We just came back yesterday and our experience would be called "Less Than Enchanted Tales With Belle". We were there at rope drop having had breakfast at the Crystal Palace. Our wait was maybe about 15 minutes or so to enter the house. We were though, with the last few people to enter and therefore upon entering the library DD was not front and center but rather standing to the side. Needless to say, there were about three little girls who had no parts in the play, my daughter being one of them. The whole arrangement does not benefit a quiet child who will not yell or jump up and down to participate. She stood quietly waiting her turn which never came. After that, the whole thing is like being forced to attend some other child's school play-drawn out even more by having to sit through watching all the participants have a special photo with Belle and being given a book mark. My daughter, who had met Belle at breakfast earlier that week at Epcot, forgot about the whole thing after a while that morning although she jokingly calls the show, "Less Than Enchanted Tales ....". She never asked to go back. That was our experience; I understand others enjoyed it. I spoke with cast members afterwards, and was advised that any child who wants to participate will get some role to play,but they have to be vocal about it and once the wardrobe in the library is closed they will not reopen it to give out another part, so make your desires known and get the cast member's attention. That was where we made our mistake. I was also told that they must give three parts to adults; the two sentries and the wardrobe. No reason given other than management orders.
200 people per hour makes no sense.
To her, its not a Belle doll or picture it is a "LydiaRose Princess!"
Didn't love Ariel S well, but I would do that again if the line was short as I liked how they transitioned from land to under water.
