What is Enchanted Tales with Belle Magic Kingdom?

Relive the magic of Disney's Beauty and the Beast during an unforgettable reenactment starring Belle, Lumiere... and you! Explore Maurice's cottage and workshop—home to mementos and gadgets—before being magically transported to the Beast's library.



"Enchanted Tales with Belle" is a highly interactive, multi-room storytelling attraction located in the New Fantasyland section of Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Unlike a traditional "meet and greet," this experience places guests inside the story of Beauty and the Beast. It begins in Maurice’s cottage, where a "Magic Mirror" transforms into a portal to the Beast’s castle. Once inside the library, guests (mostly children, but adults can participate too) are assigned various roles to play—such as the Wardrobe, the Beast, or even "suit of armor"—using props and puppets. The characters then perform the story alongside an animatronic Lumière and a live Belle. The attraction is lauded for its impressive "Pepper’s Ghost" special effects and its immersive nature. While it is geared toward younger children, the high-quality tech and the opportunity for a brief photo with Belle at the end make it a popular family stop. It typically lasts about 20 minutes and does not have a height requirement, making it accessible for all ages.
