Magic Kingdom - Fantasyland Forest
Enchanted Forest
Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid – Ariel and her friends take guests along on all their adventures – both under the sea and above!
The Beast's castle stands up on a hill above the village. Inside, the Be Our Guest Restaurant is counter service during the day, and table service at night. French-inspired fare is served, keeping with the "Beauty and the Beast" theme. The restaurant's three dining rooms serve 550 guests in three dining rooms - the elegant ballroom setting of the mysterious West Wing of the Beast's castle, the Rose Gallery featuring a life-size music box of Belle and Beast (only open at lunch), and a beautiful ballroom with chandeliers and the views of snow falling outside the windows.
Belle’s Village

Guests can visit Gaston’s Tavern, created to look like the tavern from “Beauty and the Beast” for snacks and drinks. Items on the menu include a Roasted Pork Shank, Warm Cinnamon Roll, Chocolate Croissant, Mixed Fruit Cup, Sliced Apples with Caramel Sauce, Mixed Vegetable Cup with Dip and Hummus and Chips. Various soft drinks, juice, milk and water are available. The restaurant's signature drink is LeFou's Brew, a blend of frozen apple juice with a hint of toasted marshmallow, topped with all-natural passion fruit-mango foam in a souvenir goblet.
Bonjour! Village Gifts sells items inspired by Beauty and the Beast, such as gargoyle goblets, dinnerware from "Be Our Guest" restaurant, Belle shirts for women and girls, home decor, and costume accessories.

Step outside of the village and you will see Belle’s cottage. Enchanted Tales with Belle is an interactive character meet-and-greet location. Guests will start in Maurice’s workshop, then they step through a magical mirror straight into the Beast’s library, where they will meet Belle and Lumiere and experience an interactive fairytale.
The Royal Majesty Makers are a new entertainment group in Fantasyland. The members of the group are "royal consultants", teaching children the skills to become princes and princesses. Retired knight Sir Sterling, royal etiquette teacher Lady Llewellyn, squire Tobias and lady-in-waiting Bridget will conduct Knight School, deliver invites to the ball, lead dances and play games.
Still to come:
Princess Fairytale Hall will open in late 2013 in the Castle Courtyard and will be the place to meet several of the Disney princesses- Aurora, Cinderella, Tiana and Rapunzel. Guests will feel like they've stepped into the entrance of an elegant castle; the light airy space will have high ceilings and be decorated with portraits of the princesses hanging on the walls.
Coming in 2014, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train attraction is the updated story of Snow White, told using animated figures and music from the film. The new roller coaster's cars will rock back and forth just like real mine cars.
