UPDATE: My Sensory child RODE it! (age 11). We made sure he knew in each stage of the ride what to expect (type of movement, when the main ride would start, when the drop happens..etc) and he LOVED it! What a great sensory success!

This is definitely more of an attraction than a ride! Enchanted Tales with Belle is just as the name would suggest,…
Triggers: Wait can be long before entering large amphitheater type room Pro: Super funny jokes, animations! Exit: Due to length of show, I would suggest if your child wants to opt out last minute, that your entire party (or at least one adult), wait with them through the exit doors.
