That's only right.
Of course you were first to meet him - and that is perfectly fitting! Hot red heels as well - you must have been on a hunt for him first, LOL
That is the way it should be, Brenna, with all your help, insider knowledge and input over the many months.
Yay for you! And thank you so much for getting the pictures right up on FB, I love seeing a post from you there

I cannot wait to be there in 7 weeks!!
And Thanks Berlioz et al for all the pics and updates - keep them coming everyone!!! We are soooo excited!!


And fingers, toes and eyes all crossed that the new area will be open for
MVMCP!!
Thanks for the photos! They're awesome!
I'm glad to hear you got to be the very first person to meet Gaston! You deserve it for being so helpful to everyone here...and you are adorable!
+1
Berlioz... thanks for the pictures!!! Looks like you were enjoying yourself!
Thanks everyone!!! I was in such a rush this morning I didn't get to write a recap of what happened...
I got to the wall at 9:00 and I was probably about 15-20 people back, the line continued to grow and we heard through the grapevine that it would be opened at 10:00.
Once the area opened they escorted the line to the Ariel attraction and both sides were manned with Cast Members.
As we walked Gaston came out in the distance and people saw him, but continued to follow the line. To be honest, I was visiting for Characters, not the attraction, so I left the line and just went to Gaston.
The Merch CMs made a big deal about me being the first to meet him and I had the great photo op with the fountain (after me he moved to a different location as the fountain became a photopass spot).
I then cut through the line to head to the back area to find the Grotto - I was the ONLY one there. Another 2 people eventually came over, but everyone else was just piling straight onto the attraction.
I had to be out of there by 10:30 to have enough time to get home, post photos, and go to work so I was beyond excited to get both characters done in such a short period of time and had time to take some photos of the area.
Then I was out of there by 10:20 to go on my way.
VERY exciting morning!
the most surprising thing about all this new information to me is that Berlioz is a 'she'. Why did I always think you were a guy?
I am so glad I am not the only one who was surprised by that! I always thought she was a he also! Just goes to show you how much message board can anonymize people.
I did too, until I started following her on FB and saw her in all of the pictures. I think it is the screenname and picture, since Berlioz is a boy kitty in the movie.
Add me to the people who also thought that Berloiz was a man, and agreeing that you are an adorable woman. And you have on heels! In the Magic Kingdom! Impressive.
I thought Berlioz was an ugly man.



I can't even explain how loud I was laughing, DH got a huge kick out of these too!!!!
Aristocats was my favorite movie growing up and Berlioz was my favorite (I played the Piano). 70 is a reference to the year the movie came out.
I have to ask, Berlioz...a few weeks ago I was asking where to find Belle in her yellow gown and you very cryptically told me that she probably wouldn't be in TST for our trip (arriving tomorrow). How did you know that? Inquiring minds want to know! PM me if you don't want to reveal publicly, but I'm fascinated by this whole process.
It's not really a secret - I'm a Cast Member (of the well informed variety)
You can always assume I know more than I'm saying, but only announce things after Disney makes them public. At the same time, I hate to see people planning their vacations around things I know will change so I tend to drop cryptic hints without revealing real dates.
For others who may be interested - Belle's last day at TST was yesterday. She may appear randomly, but she has been replaced by Aurora.
