We love New Fantasyland. We love Beast's Castle, Little Mermaid, the circus complete with Casey, Jr. and you can even see footprints of various Disney horses. One of the neatest experiences we have come to love is Enchanted Tales with Belle

This is such a fun experience. First tip - get a Fastpass for it. We've done it twice and it's much easier to get a fastpass, otherwise it's an hour wait. You are taken through Maurice and Belle's cottage to a magical picture that opens up and takes you into Beast's castle. They tell you they're going that Belle is coming and they want to surprise her with a retelling of how she and the Beast met and fell in love. Then they pass out parts. There are all kinds of parts! For as many kids want to be involved is how many can be apart. They have ways to stretching the characters. As far as getting picked for the role you want - be loud and be up front. Make noise, get noticed. Since there is no way of getting separated from your child so we've let Cupcake be in the front and we hang back. Cupcake has scored two pretty big roles - the very first time we went in February 2013 she was the Beast. She loved it and you actually get to spend a bit more time with Belle. The second time she was Maurice. She enjoyed getting to act in both roles. You can see pictures below. This has always been a great experience and we highly recommend it. Even dads get in on the act - they get chosen as the Knights in Armor. Superman got picked the time when Cupcake was Beast. Whatever you do, make sure you hit this at least once in your Disney life.
Waiting to go in and get started - Knight and Beast
That's where he had to stand the whole time
Getting ready to make her big entrance
And what an entrance she made
They got to pose with Belle
It all ends with Belle dancing with the Beast
Cupcake as Maurice
