We had our picture done with Belle in her yellow gown back in December last year. She was in the lobby of the castle for CRT. We got VERY lucky and had two wonderful CMs assist us with some problems we were having. We we said our DD4 wanted to say goodbye to Belle and Cinderella, they found out that Belle was in the castle and we went straight there to meet her. It was so exciting. My DD still talks about it. The CM said that Belle rarely does meet and greets in the gold gown because it is hard to get up close with the children in that outfit. You could always check in city hall to see if she might be doing a rare appearance when you are there.
