FP+ for Tales with Belle?

[kly]

Can somebody please describe the Tales with Belle attraction? The Disney website description is very limiting. I'm trying to determine if I want to use a FP+ on it.
Thanks!

Pre-show -- Walking up to Maurice's cottage certainly sets the stage, so to speak, for what is to come. The paths are lined with pieces and parts that are easy to imagine came from Belle's father's workshop filled with his many inventions. In the distance, the top of Beast's majestic castle presides over the French town and its people.

Guests enter the main room of Maurice's cottage and immediately will recognize the occupants of the dwelling from the stacks of books and portraits, including one of a young Belle with her mother. From there, they are admitted to Maurice's workshop in smaller groups of about 45 people.

This area has even more detailed theming, giving guests plenty to study while they wait in front of the magic mirror. Maurice's drawing board and sketches are evident, his tools are scattered throughout the space, and his creations are perched on shelves and hanging from the ceiling.

A gift from Beast to Maurice so he could visit his daughter whenever he desired, the magic mirror is transformed before visitors' eyes into a portal leading to Beast's castle.

Enchanted Tales with Belle -- Guests enter a room where Madame Wardrobe interacts with the group, with the help of a cast member. They explain that guests will surprise Belle with a re-enactment of "Beauty and The Beast." Volunteers are assigned parts and handed props, and then everyone is admitted to the library in Beast's Castle.

Be prepared to be amazed by the talkative Lumiere, who helps direct the group to their places in the library. The small candelabra atop the fireplace is big on personality during the show.

BelleLights are dimmed to surprise Belle when she enters the room, and then the production begins as cast members help the guest actors deliver their simple lines. The experience is interactive for the audience, as well, when guests are invited to howl with the wind, shiver in the dungeon and gallop with a horse. One great thing about this experience is that there are enough parts for every child -- and many adults -- in the room, so no one will be left out.

Enchanted Tales With Belle concludes with participants having their photos taken with Belle before the princess leads the actors around the room to the peppy song, "Be Our Guest." Each participant also receives a special bookmark "in appreciation to mark the occasion."

It's a pretty great attraction and I'd recommend FP+ for it.

its an interactive attraction that uses disney guests and props to act out the story of how belle and beast met. its really cute. you can use it as a fast pass if you want but depending on when your there the line might not be to bad.

Check You Tube. Lots of videos of it there too.

It's important to note that this is the only place in MK (aside from a character breakfast) where your child can see Belle. However, she will not sign autographs (you get a pre-signed printed bookmark.) And she does pose for pics (quickly) at the end of the show. You will get the best pics for your child if they participate in the show (which all children are invited to do) and if your child doesn't participate, make sure they take part in the line Belle forms around the room so they can get a quick picture with her at the end. You cannot use any flash photography in the room, but there is a photopass photographer present and each guest is given a photopass card to access photos upon exiting.

This is an attraction that has a long line all day, and can be tricky to get a same day FP for. If it's one you want to see, I would recommend FP+ for it.

I searched for a youtube video about it b/c I knew we wouldn't have time (older kids, just one MK day) - it's amazing! You should find one of those videos
