As you walk through the village , look for details around every corner , like the peaceful courtyard of the Beast ’ s castle and the good eats at La Taverne de Gaston ( try a delicious French Toast Sandwich with chicken ) and LeFou ’ s ( I recommend an Apple Caramel Churro ).
There ’ s a lot to soak in .
As a fan of Beauty and the Beast , I had to take a moment to collect myself as I wanted to revel in every intricate detail .
It ’ s easy to lose yourself and explore and appreciate all the hard work .
But at this point , you ’ re only halfway through what there is to experience in this quiet village . It ’ s time to check out the actual ride .
ENCHANTED TALE OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST There ’ s no way to miss the massive castle in the distance . Beast ’ s castle towers over you with an ominous yet elegant presence . It ’ s here where you ’ ll experience one of the best attractions at Tokyo Disney Resort — in fact , one of the best attractions at any Disney Park .
Beast ’ s castle is grander than you ’ d imagine , so much so that you might think it should be the park ’ s centerpiece ( no offense to Cinderella Castle ). The castle contains so much detail that you ’ ll want a moment to take it all in . It ’ s that gorgeous .
