Great video, can't wait for part 2. Though I am disappointed that when I'm down there in September that these attractions won't be open. :(

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had that big WOW moment when they saw that mirror and the attention to detail in the cottage. I think my coworkers thought I was bonkers. Cannot wait to see it in person!!!

What the heck? You somehow come up with "" from that and you're asking if the GUESTS are crude?

Most guests are not going to understand that "ans" means "years old" in French.

They are going to not get it, and think of other words that are similar to "ans" in English. They will make a lot of jokes about this.

The Cottage, and Magic Mirror are spectaculiar...but the Wardrobe is fantastic looking, and moves very fluently. There are two Libraries which will host Bell , and Lumier to keep guest flow going thru the attraction. As for the Lumier Audio- Animatronic , it is not a traditional animatronic - but a minature Buzz Lightyear - animatronic body - projection face. But the flames look so real in movent on the candle hands, and head. Imagineering did a great Job with the details when it came to the characters personality. Bravo !!

I am so excited to see the magic mirror effect. It looks like the mirror comes down and becomes a doorway. And then you get to go and meet Wardrobe and hear some stories from Belle.

I am excited to take my niece and nephew there! My family is going to LOVE THIS!

I told you! I am glad everyone is finally getting to see what I was talking about. This is going to be the best part.

And just imagine what it would have been like if the other princess homes were built. It was going to be on this scale as well.

That mirror effect was amazing! Just makes me wonder what Imagineering could do if TDO allowed them carte blanche to fix/update the existing rides/attractions @ WDW.

You're very confident in your clairvoyance.

It's obvious what the hash marks are. I doubt anyone will waste their time pondering deeply about "ans" when the numbers and lines give it away.

So, is the Wardrobe going to be in the hallway just after you enter the Beast's Castle through the magic mirror? Or will she be in the Library with Belle and Lumiere?

It's been pretty clear since the official announcement at D23 way back when that this would pretty much be a new home for the Enchanted Tales with Belle, where audience members take on roles from the story in an interactive time with Belle and an AA Lumiere. (There was even concept art showing the room in the castle that you go to, with Belle, Lumiere on the mantle and a boy playing the part of the Beast.

I'd presume at the end of the interactive part that Belle will pose for photos and autographs.

And as there are two show rooms, they probably take one room full of Guests every 8-10 minutes, with a 15-20 minute show with Belle.

After you walk thru the Magic Mirror , you are transported into the Castle Hall where the Wardrobe will entertain you till it is time to enter the Library.

The mirror effect is the type of thing I absolutely love because it's going to drive me crazy as to how they do it. False walls, and projections built into the door/window/wall makes some sense but the video makes everything look seamless (pun intended). I'm looking forward to seeing this in person and I wonder if it will open before some of the other things.

Check out this cool painting of Belle and her mother from the cottage. In can see it at 1:46 in the video reflected in the mirror.

Belle's mom?! Who has never been portrayed in any medium before?! That is CRAZY!! And kind of exciting!

I love how she's so beautiful, like an aged Belle. It mimics the story of BatB cause Maurice isn't exactly a looker. I love this added depth.

I also like the inclusion of the roses in the picutre, nice touch.

Of course, people could also ask. And I would imagine the CMs in there would have received a little background information and training. Just a little. :)
