The actors that played Tiana and Naveen got to see PatF earlier inorder for meet and greets. It's only the actors that get to see the movie inorder to get their character right. They're not allowed to tape it because I think it might be in a room backstage or something, and the actual Disney company is really strict under their own roofs. When I saw PatF at the Walt Disney Studios last year, ALL the cameras and cellphones were taken away before entering the theater.
Plus, the Rapunzel and Flynn actors probably saw the rough version, so they didn't see the final film.
Oh come on and that solves it ( take the cellphones and camera's away?)
regular people are not allowed to tape it also and still it happens, there are a million ways to tape a movie in the cinema's!!!!
I also got to see TPATF alos before it came out in Europe, thanks to other people that taped it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People even can get through the airport without going passing the security but taping in the movies is impossible
hahahahahahaha
Right, you keep telling yourself that !!!!
Oh and now it's not the film anymore but the rough versions????
There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that rough versions come out of the studios in burbank that anybody else can see apart from the animators, directors or all the people who worked on the film .... And surely no people in theme parks!!!
But as I said you keep telling yourself that!
( I'm not even gonna discuss this anymore, it gets sillier by the minute

Okay. I've come to set the record straight. I'm not sure how or why you seem so incredibly sure of yourself,
stitchje1981, but I want to explain the way things work here at Walt Disney World.
I'm currently on the College Program working in Merchandise at Hollywood Studios, and an extremely good friend of mine happens to be "friends with" Rapunzel.
First, it doesn't seem as if you quite understand the importance Disney places on face characters. Her trainers told her that animation directors had a part in deciding who was going to be cast to play the characters. The face characters in the parks are, after all, an extension of the characters they spent years creating, and so of course they want the portrayal of those characters to be spot-on, and given the okay by the important people over in Burbank.
As for seeing the film, as someone already mentioned, last year for Tiana and Naveen, they did indeed get to see the entire finished movie before they went out into the parks, and before it was released to theaters.
This time around, since the film has only been finished now for a week or so, the people cast as Rapunzel and Flynn did NOT get to see the ENTIRE finished film, but instead got to see around 70-80% of the ROUGH CUT of the film. They saw all the song scenes with the exception of Mother Gothel's "Mother Knows Best", they saw the majority of the middle of the film, and they saw the key lantern scene. They did not get to see the ending, or anything else after "I See the Lights."
Now, my friend is far from an animation buff, and so she said she didn't really understand why some of what they saw were just black and white drawings, and for some of the movie the characters looked like "robots". Obviously she was shown storyboards and rough animation.
EDIT: I should add that they didn't watch this in any impressive theater or anything. They watched it in a small classroom setting with a small tv on one of those wheely cart things. It's just a small group... taping it would be risking their job.
So, to settle the score, face characters do indeed to get special treatment. While they didn't get to see the movie in it's entirety this time around, that is the standard. They try to show as much as they can. After all, while it would be easy enough to say things like "ohhh I like your hair" like you said before, they want to have the best possible portrayal of these characters as they possibly can. Now stop arguing about this, and especially stop acting as if you know how things work behind the scenes.
And now for the grand finale, and picture of my good friend Rapunzel. It was her first day in Epcot today!!!
(Sorry for the bad quality)
Well, actually, since many of the people who post here seem to like to pretend that they're Victorians, I'd like to ask exactly WHICH rating this site's conversations ought to conform to. As soon as I am informed about the rating of this site, though, the tables may turn, should I find "inappropriate" wording, etc. 
If anything is annoying it's how this "You should learn how to type in a informal forum" discussion keeps being brought up. In my opinion it's hypocritical to condemn a member for writing posts formally because we are informal. You should be able to write whatever way you like.
Forgive me, I'm still a bit new, hehe.
