Where to Meet Belle in Her Red Christmas Dress at Walt Disney World
Belle from Beauty and the Beast is once again meeting in her holiday dress at Walt Disney World. I think most will agree that her special Christmas ball gown is stunning. This article provides a few photos of Belle in her Christmas dress with details on where to find her this holiday season.
For the 2025 holiday season, Belle is greeting guests in two locations. She is one of the characters at this year’s Mickey Very Merry Christmas Party. She meets in front of Enchanted Tales with Belle during the party, which we’ll discuss more below. Belle also begins meeting at Epcot in her red Christmas dress the day after Thanksgiving. This coincides with the start of the Epcot Festival of the Holidays. She usually meets at this location through the end of the Festival. (She’ll return to her blue village dress after the festival concludes.)
The pictures in this article are from previous years, but the information has been updated for 2025.
During the Christmas Party, Belle meets outside of Maurice’s cottage in New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom. You’ll walk down the pathway to Enchanted Tales with Belle, where the queue for her meet-and-greet forms.
Belle met guests at intervals between 7:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. at the Christmas Party. She was more than happy to show off her holiday dress. (Her exact times are listed in the My Disney Experience app.)
If you plan to meet Belle, she tends to hold a long line. So I waited until late to meet her. She took a break at 11:00 p.m., and I was the first person to start the line for her next meet a few minutes later. Belle returned at precisely 11:20 p.m., and we had a lovely chat.
She pointed out the tiny details of her dress and mentioned her favorite part was the rosebuds. Once again, I was reminded of how endearing character interactions are. Usually, when I meet the character, I tell them I would love to take a couple of photos for my website. Naturally, they always oblige. But they will often take a few moments to talk to me, like Belle did this evening. I think it’s important to point out that not only do they work hard, but many of them go above and beyond the call of their jobs.
At this point, it was exceptionally late in the evening, and I was visibly weary. But I left this character meet-and-greet surprised once again after all this time. If you can attend the Christmas Party, I hope you’ll take the time to meet Belle in her holiday dress.
