The magic mirror turning into a door to the castle is one of the most amazing effects I have ever seen. I know how it was done, but I am still in awe of its power. It truly showed what magic can still be created by Disney.
The Wardrobe and Lumiere come to life in convincing fashion, and the library is breathtaking, especially for someone who loves books. Belle’s arrival is greeted with ooos and aaahs. The story time itself is far too short. It was awesome to see the children be able to interact with Belle – yes, I got choked up a couple of times, and I don’t even have kids. It left me wanting more and feeling a little dissatisfied. Maybe I should have played a part in the story.
Things are subject to change before the official opening date of Dec. 6, 2012 at the new Fantasyland.
