Hello All,
We are taking our little Princess to Disney soon and boy is she an expert on all of the Princesses. Our main goal is for her to be able to meet as many as possible. Is there a place where just the princess will be, like in one building? We of coarse will head straight to the new Fantasyland once we get there. Thank you all in advance for your help. We have been before but with our boys, we have never had to do the princess thing before.:prince:
My daughter is 4 so we do the princesses a lot. Did you want to see all the characters at regular meet and greets or are you willing to do character meals?
The princesses are spread through the Magic Kingdom and Epcot.
At the Town Square Theater you can see meet Cinderella, Aurora and Rapunzel. This is of course always subject to change. Fast pass is available. You can get through pretty fast if you hit this first however, if there is another princess that is a must do you might want to get a fast pass, then do another princess (like Merida) then double back.
Merida meets in the Fairy Tale Garden starting at 9:15 or so. Whenever I have gone by there is always a line.
Ariel (with a tail) meets in Ariel's Grotto in New Fantasyland. When we were there, her line moved fairly fast.
Belle is only available at Enchanted Tales with Belle and you have to participate in the story if you want a picture.
Jasmine meets in Adventureland on the Terrace as you enter from the hub. Snow White meets outside in the Town Square. Tiana meets in Liberty Square in the gazebo (I think. It is near the Christmas store).
Epcot adds Mulan in China and Belle in her blue dress in France.
If you do the Akerhaus meal in Epcot, you get a photo with Belle plus 4 princesses come to the table. It is usually an assortment of Snow White, Aurora, Ariel (in a dress), Mulan, Jasmine or Cinderella.
Cindy's Royal Table includes a photo with Cinderella then 4 princesses at the table.
1900 Park Fare dinner includes Cinderella, her Prince and the step sisters. When we went last year, it also included Lady Tremaine but I have heard she no longer meets there.
Aurora is probably the easiest to find. She meets in MK and Epcot and tends to be both at Akerhus and CRT. Mulan is only at Epcot. Tiana and Merida are only at MK.
Thank you for all your great info. I was hoping to not have to do the Character dining but will look into it. We are booked to eat at the new Be our guest restaurant. I do you know all this? LOL is there a printout I can get when I get there to let me know who will be where? I do have the Disney app on my smartphone. Will that help? Thanks again for all your input. I took lots of notes while reading it.
Belle is NOT at the Be my Guest restaurant...it's a great restaurant, but don't go if your goal is meeting the characters...
Cindy, that's a great list!
When you enter the parks there are sheets which have the list of characters and show times for the park.Quote:

I would recommend going to the princess breakfast at Akershus in Norway at Epcot. They have pretty much every princess and it is great interaction and the table set up is great for never being missed. It's been a couple years so I do not know if they have added the recent movie princesses such as Rapunzel or The Princess and the Frog princess or from Brave. But they have all the others including Mulan.
As Lynn mentioned, they will have list on the meet & greet hours and locations at the front of the park. Town Square Theater meets continuously but the other M&G's do have specific hours, so you do have to prioritize. The Disney app is definitely helpful.Quote:
