on the wall to the left of the entry door.

the attraction's premise is explained: You're supposed to re-enact the story of
Beauty
and the Beast
for Belle on her birthday, and guests are chosen to act out key parts in
the play.
After the parts are cast, everyone walks into the castle's library and takes a seat.
Cast members explain how the play will take place and introduce Belle, who gives a
short speech about how thrilled she is for everyone to be there. The play is acted out
within a few minutes, and the actors get a photo op with Belle and receive a small
bookmark as a memento.
Enchanted Tales with Belle
is surely the prettiest and most elaborate meet and
greet in Walt Disney World. For the relative few who get to act in the play, it's also a
chance to interact with Belle in a way that isn't possible in other character encounters.
