Disney Legend Paige O’Hara Brings “Belle-Inspired” Magic to EPCOT Festival of the Arts

If you’ve ever wanted to meet a real-life Disney Princess, now is your chance. Paige O’Hara, the legendary voice behind Belle in the 1991 classic Beauty and the Beast, has officially arrived at the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.

While many know her for her iconic singing and acting, O’Hara is also an accomplished Disney Fine Artist. She is spending the holiday weekend meeting fans and showcasing her “Belles by Belle” collection—a series of paintings that capture her unique connection to the character she brought to life over 30 years ago.

Planning Your Visit: The Virtual Queue

Meeting a Disney Legend is a high-priority task for many festival-goers. To manage the crowds, EPCOT may implement a Virtual Queue specifically for this signing event. This is usually a “low-tech” virtual queue managed on-site by Cast Members, rather than through the My Disney Experience app. Arrive early at the World Showcase Bridge Kiosk and speak with the team there to secure your spot.

Exclusive Art for Sale

Fans looking to take home a piece of history can purchase both original paintings and limited-edition prints at the kiosk. Having your artwork signed by the “voice of the character” adds a layer of magic that is unique to the Festival of the Arts.

Whether you’re a lifelong Beauty and the Beast fan or an art collector, this is a rare opportunity to chat with a Disney Legend who helped define an era of animation.
