Royal greetings to you, Jasmine! The trumpets are blaring a majestic tune as I, Prince Scott, officially welcome you to our vacation planning kingdom, planDisney. Walt Disney World is the perfect place to
meet and dine with princesses, or even receive a princess makeover! There are so many opportunities to make beloved fairy tales come to life, especially for young guests. Here are some suggestions that will transform storybook magic into cherished core memories for you and your family.
First, let's talk character dining. This is likely the easiest way to meet multiple princesses at one time, and you get to enjoy a meal while doing it! For many aspiring princesses, there is nothing more magical than stepping into Cinderella Castle and enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner at
Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom. Pose with Cinderella herself before your meal, then meet her princess pals upstairs as you dine. Character appearances are subject to change, but Ariel, Aurora, and Jasmine are often present. Another option is
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall over in the Norway Pavilion at EPCOT. This restaurant also offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you may meet Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White, and others. I was just walking by last week and saw Tiana through the window, so you never know who might appear!
Want your child to look her princess best for one of these meals? Book a royal transformation at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Magic Kingdom. Fairy Godmother's Apprentices work to ensure guests ages 3-12 are ready for the ball or any other royal engagements on their schedule. This makeover experience and the character dining I mentioned before are all extremely popular, so make sure to
book your reservations 60 days in advance of your visit.
There's also a ton of live entertainment featuring princesses, including
For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration,
Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage,
Enchanted Tales with Belle, and
The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure. If you only have time to do a few of these, I highly recommend the Frozen Sing-Along and Enchanted Tales with Belle. I was absolutely in stitches when the Arendelle Royal Historians were recounting Anna and Elsa's story, and I was recruited to play a knight in Belle's cottage as she told us how she came to love the Beast.
There are so many other meet and greets, experiences, and entertainment for young guests who love princesses! If you need more suggestions to make your visit to Disney World perfect for your princess, please
let me know. For cruise questions, please ask one of our amazing
Disney Cruise Line panelists. I hope you have an incredible trip!
Stay magical,
Scott
