well ...
Do you mean word-for-word, as in a script of the films, or just the plot line? Disney reworked the stories to fit his own formula, as I bet you know ...

Re: well ...
The only way to get the Disney versions of the tales are from the books they have published. I am not aware of published scripts, but I haven't looked for them either. However, the movie tales are uniquely Disney and thus copyrighted and only published by them. There are picture book versions of the movies with stills and stories summarized, more like a traditional tale is told. Otherwise, the best way to get the best copy of the Disney fairy tale versions is through the movies themselves. To the best of my knowledge they have not been "anthologized" in the traditional sense and cannot be found in one book. The picture books--available at most book stores--are the best printed resource for the stories.

script
Then what you're after is the script, and I have no idea whether or not you'll find it. Aside from a basic web search -- which, if it turns up anything, probably won't be a legal, authoritative copy -- you'll have to check with the Disney company itself. Perhaps your local mall has a branch of the Disney Store? If so, I bet they could special-order it for you. Actually, any bookstore probably could ....

Re: script
Disney Store doesn't sell scripts of the movies and I haven't ever seen them in print or online for that matter. A well-informed bookseller or librarian may be able to find something like that but I don't think it is out there to be found. I am pretty sure a libretto for Beauty and the Beast in the Broadway version has been published, but not the screen version.
Disney is very careful about policing copyright infringement so any pirated scripts on the web will be of dubious nature, just as Laura said. The only way to really get word for word copies of the stories is through the movies. You will most likely have to transcribe any quotes for yourself.
Good luck,
Heidi
