'Enchanted Tales with Belle' reopens at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

Feb 19, 2023 in "Enchanted Tales with Belle"

Posted: Sunday February 19, 2023 9:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Enchanted Tales with Belle reopens today at Magic Kingdom following a nearly 3 year-long closure.

The Fantasyland meet and greet experience did not reopen with the rest of the park following the COVID-19 closure in 2020, and is the last of the major character locations to reopen at Magic Kingdom.

Operating hours for Enchanted Tales with Belle are 10am to 10pm today.

At Enchanted Tales with Belle, you get to step into Belle and Maurice’s quaint country cottage before heading in to Maurice’s workshop, where you’ll see his inventive gadgets—and a special enchanted mirror the Beast gave to Belle. Next you see the story of how Belle and the Beast met, and the walls disappear before your eyes as you are magically transported to the Beast’s castle where you meet the Enchanted Wardrobe, who will help selected participants prepare for their role in the retelling of the story. Inside the Beast’s library, Lumière the talking candlestick directs the action before Belle makes her appearance.

Donald and Daisy, along with Chip 'n' Dale, have reportedly begun meeting guests around Echo Lake at Disney's Hollywood Studios (via DFB). Here's what My Disney Experience shows today. 771453

Dug and Russell have returned to the Wilderness Explorers Clubhouse near the Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom, A park that is struggling the most with long term entertainment and this is another step in the right direction

For the record, last I was there (Monday) Goofy and Pocahontas aren't on land anymore. Maybe I just got a particularly good day, but Goofy seemed to have a perpetual line when I went (a couple weeks before) for my pictures (not a Pocahantas person, didn't track her down at the time) and I even spotted him signing while walking away to apparently go on the boat later (I was impressed). It was sad, because at the same time I saw kids that were clearly excited and wanted to meet him but he had to stick to the limited hours. Hoping that was a test and they come back. The place felt so much more lively with him there.

They are the Pandora drummers.

Would be so nice if they said goodbye to the flotillas altogether and replaced them with standard meets. (And give the drummers a real show, they're fantastic!)

If you look at the Cape May Cafe vs Trattoria Al Forno breakfast availability, you’ll see that CMC is a much more challenging ADR to grab. It’s the characters, gotta think Bon Voyage will return.

Bon Voyage still deader than dead?

Hello! I read somewhere that Pocahontas, Meeko, and Goofy are back at Animal Kingdom. Pocahontas and Meeko by Oasis. Goofy at DinoLand. Hope we get more characters soon!

It appears Buzz is no longer appearing at MK, he hasn’t been there in a few weeks and Chip and Dale are now in that location instead.

I believe the Disney Visa Cardholder-Exclusive meet and greet with Darth Vader reopened within the last couple of weeks, but don't see it posted here. Disney Rewards sent out this e-mail today.
