Time to head out to the Magic Kingdom:
...wait for the rope drop...
We started our visit with ETWB because it's newness and the length of the "show" cause lines of an hour or more later in the day.
Enchanted Tales with Belle
ETB was a sweet and fun experience with lots of cool new effects, by constantly moving, the 20+ minute experience doesn't feel so long. Amazingly the cast manages to get the most out of their little helpers and then all the participants and kids who weren't invited to participate, are invited to parade around the room and stop to have a photo with Belle at the hearth. You can take your own photo too, so long as you don't use flash. A little book mark gift is given to everyone in the show and in the parade, and Belle runs off for dinner with her prince!
Next we hustle straight to UTS; this is a continuous loader so it moves quick and there is always FP if you arrive later and it's a long line.
Under the Sea : Journey of the Little Mermaid
This ride is very gentle, similar to Pooh or Peter Pan. DD thought the pacing was so quick that you didn't get see the whole "scene" and dialogue at each section. Most folks know the story, but you sort of miss the jokes.
After this we went to Tomorrowland to visit a few old favorites (Space Mountain, Buzz Light Year, Wedway people mover and Laugh Factory) and then return to NFL at 11:30 AM just to look around and take photos.

We didn't spend much time there, the rides and attractions are really for younger children, but the theming was really neat and it was worth a walk through by our family! It's a big improvement over Toon Town. There are many walls and ramparts set up to flow traffic around the NFL, soon when the Snow White Mine train is done, there will be good flow through NFL, but for now it's a bit of a bottle neck after 10:30...so we got in and out!
