Thanks~Chris

Belle meets & greets after her storytime (which is excellent, btw) in MK. She is in her blue dress. She's also available at a couple character meals (CRT in MK & Princess Storybook Breakfast in Epcot) and can sometimes be seen in France and in the mornings at MK on Main St.

It is VERY rare to ever see her in her yellow dress, but does usually wear that at the Halloween party to meet & greet. Oops..apparently, it's not as rare as it used to be to find her in the yellow dress. Sorry.

The show at MGM is AWESOME. THAT yellow dress cost $10,000! (or something crazy like that!)

She's also in the afternoon parade at MK and possibly the MGM parade (I really can't remember).

She also is in Toontown in the judges tent. Sometimes she is in her blue dress and other times she is in her yellow dress.

I'm so hoping we find time to see her Storytime - we always say we want to see it and then always miss it :(


I was just going to add that when you look for Belle in France, she can be off the beaten path. Someone told me to look for her and Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) near the gardens in France - we found them both as we were on our way to the Boulangerie Patisserie (for some yummy croissants!) possibly near the gardens.

We did see her at MK for Story hour twice in the blue dress, but they closed it each time we approached the line..very bad timing on our part. We ate at the Storybook Princess breakfast at Norway (Akerhaus) on Friday June 9...She was there for portraits and autographs when we first arrived. Some day I will hopefully get my trip report in here :).....here is a photo from that morning:

Had you actually been at the storytime? That is disappointing that you weren't able to meet with her.

I know once we were chatting with friends and were the last in line, but since they had closed off the area at the start of the storytime, everyone who wanted to meet with her that was at the storytime was able to.

But, I also know that once someone I knew was disappointed because she didn't meet & greet with anyone after.

Alysha, no we had not been to the story time...just passing by the first time. We then went to eat at a place right across from it (the name escapes me)...but when we were done, we went back and the same thing happened. I believe it may have been just a line for meet and greet (maybe after her story)?? I'm not sure b/c this was our first visit and I am not sure of the times or routine.
We just assured to Jenna that we would be able to see Belle in the morning at breakfast. Little did we know that Belle would be available right when we walked in for the portraits/autographs. It worked out very well.

Yes, that's what it is. It's a line for meet & greet just for those that got into the storytime, and not everyone gets in always either. They do "shut it down" (put up a rope).

Glad she was still able to see her. But, sorry you missed the storytime, it is sooo adorable and they use kids and one dad for the parts.

We had breakfast with Belle and several other princesses in Norway at the Princess breakfast, she had a show where Erin was selected to be Lumiere onstage at the Magic Kingdom (in her garden) and then we ran into her again at Epcot- near France maybe??? She recognized Erin and said "seeeee I told you I'd be here" OMG she nearly jumped out of her skin! It was the BEST moment. I'll try to post again with pics, just give me a sec :)

Erin is wearing the yellow belle costume- that probably helped in being selected to be on stage LOL
