If you HAVE to see Belle you should....

[bhoffman]

What do I do? Leaving without seeing Belle is just not an option for us! One of my daughters is in LOVE with Belle. We have a PS for the PSB so hopefully she will be there. I know she does the storybook thing at MK (is it hard to get into?) and last time we saw her in France at Epcot (not going other than for b-fast the one day) so if anyone knows of a way to GUARANTEED ( or at least most likely) way to see her I would LOVE to hear it! Thanks!

Go to Belle's Storytime at MK! It's in a little garden by the castle and Belle comes out to read her story and she even picks kid's out of the audience to play different parts!!! Get there about 15 minutes early so you DD can get a front row seat. Definite GUARANTEE since Belle is always at Belle's storytime!

Also, it's not a meet and greet, but the Beauty and the Beast show at MGM is WONDERFUL for Belle fans!

Ask a suit when you arrive at Epcot if Belle is appearing anywhere that day. Tney call someone-I am guessing casting.-and can tell you exactly where and when someone will appear. This happened to us pre the princess breakfast when dd HAD to see sleeping beauty. We were able to catch her thanks to the info given to us by the suit. I also think she is one the schedule on the epcot map for appearances.

So do they usually show up exactly the time they are supposed to ? Also the storybook time with Belle sounds PERFECT but want to make sure to get in, is 15 minutes before hand really early enough? I don't want to create a wait for us if we don't need one (2 yr. old brother HATES waiting ) but we will do if we must! THANKS!!!

We did see the show at MGM last time and she LOVED it!!

My daughter also loves Belle, she appears around noon at the little library beside the perfume shop in France (WS Epcot). I don't think many people know about this cos my daughter had time to spend with her all by herself

hope this helps
cheers D

we were in France too, and I just popped my head to the little garden behind the perfume shop and Belle was there all by herself. We had her all to ourselves for at least 10 minutes. DH is a big BATB fan and he's got a hat and lanyard full of BATB pins, so she was talking with DH about the pins.

Ask a suit when you arrive at Epcot if Belle is appearing anywhere that day.

Just so you know ... it doesn't have to be a "suit." Guest Relations can tell you too -- they have a full listing of who is where on any given day. The person the "suit" called was likely Guest Relations. Casting doesn't have that info.

France in Epcot is good, she's usually with Beast there. Storytime with Belle @ MK is good as well (show & meet/greet). Belle also tends to make appearances at Crossroads in MGM by herself.

Definitely go to MK's Storytime - she is wonderful! This is my daughter's very favorite. I would think 15 minutes early should be ok, although it is small with limited seating. It can get warm, so bring a drink. Often there is a meet and greet after, but when we went during Spring Break they suspended the meet and greets for two weeks due to crowds.

Epcot's France is usually a good bet - check Steve Soares' entertainment schedule before you go for the times. There are a couple of different places in France that Belle uses - the indoor one by the perfume shop mentioned above, the courtyard, and also out by the kiosk.

We have also seen Belle at PSB and CRT as mentioned above.

Good luck!

Yes your chidren must see theStorytime with Belle. Also one year at Mgm i met her backstage and got a picture with us together. Dont know if Mgm still
has that anymore. Lol i showed my niece the picture and she said, ''Thats not
Belle!" I said well its Belle to me!

Thank you all so much! She would be SOOO disappointed not to see Belle. She is really the only thing she has REALLY gotten into so I would like to make it a reality on this trip there as well. I wish I had known about this board before our last trip there! I feel better that there are the other options you all have pointed out. - Thank you!!!
