Entertainment is slowly returning to Disney World, and we are SO HAPPY about it.
We’re not going to lie — we cried when fireworks came back to the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. And we were there the FIRST DAY that A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King reopened. And although so many shows remain shuttered at Disney World, we got to see another one reopen today. YAY!
That’s right, a tale as old as time has returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Beauty and the Beast — Live On Stage had its first performance today at the Theater of the Stars in over a year! And we were there!
You could feel the anticipation in the crowd — we’re so happy to be back!
We. Can’t. Wait! It feels so good to be back! pic.twitter.com/NpI0kO3DAF

Here comes Belle “with a dreamy far-off look and her nose stuck in a book!” And of course, GASTON. He’s SO dreamy!
We were so excited to see these characters back on stage. Look, it’s Lumiere! “Be Our Guest” to sing along…
FINALE! Beauty and the Beast is BACK in Hollywood Studios! pic.twitter.com/xOp8qPwouw

Check it out — Belle AND the Beast! ❤️❤️❤️
There’s Gaston again, up to no good.
But as we know, Gaston does not win in the end, the Beast transforms back into a Prince, and he and Belle live happily ever after. HAPPY SIGH. By the end of the show, the audience was on its feet for a standing ovation. And we’re looking forward to many more performances in the future. So head on over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and catch the show for yourself!
And we’ll let you know about other entertainment returning to Disney World, too (and that includes all the NEW entertainment we’ll be getting for the 50th anniversary celebration!).
