    Hi, we are taking our 8 year old daughter to Walt Disney World (Orlando) and are looking for Disney Princess events (meet & greet, breakfast, lunch options). Please help, I'm overwhelmed :)

    Hi there, Douglas. Welcome to planDisney. 

    I'm not sure whether to call you Douglas or Mr. Incredible because I have a feeling that, with this question, you're about to become a superhero for your daughter. I don't want you to feel overwhelmed, so think of me as your planDisney Edna Mode. You need a "super suit" (without capes, of course) filled with ideas and plans to help your daughter. So let's jump right into action!

    I'm excited to share a very helpful link from the Walt Disney World website that I believe will be exactly what you need. This magical princess page provides information on how to meet your daughter's favorite characters, where to dine with royalty, what stage shows to see, and so much more. Whether dining at Cinderella's Royal Table, helping your daughter magically enter the world of Beauty and the Beast at Enchanted Tales with Belle, or waving to Ariel at the Festival of Fantasy Parade, you'll find almost everything you need on this helpful page.

    Douglas, reservations for dining experiences open 60 days before your arrival. It appears from your arrival date that you can now make your reservations. If you plan to dine with Disney royalty, it's best to make those reservations as soon as possible, as they can fill up quickly.

    To be the super dad, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the My Disney Experience app. This app holds a lot of superpowers, and one of those powers helps you locate your daughter's favorite characters around the parks and see their appearance times.

    Douglas, I'm so happy that you found us here at planDisney! I guess we are like a super team now, so feel free to reach out with any questions you have as you explore all your enchanting options. There's nothing I enjoy more than helping fellow Guests make their dreams come true, so please stop by again. Whether you want suggestions on character dining locations, how to find information on the app, or where to find the Cinderella Wishing Well to snap the perfect picture of your little princess with Cinderella Castle in the background, we are here to help. 

    I'm wishing you the most incredible vacation with your family. It's been my pleasure!

Meet the Panelist: Shonette, Ohio

Hi! I'm Shonette from Ohio, and I wear the ears of wife, mom, and proud Gigi to two preschool granddaughters. I love making magical memories with my family while snacking on a DOLE Whip or watching Tinker Bell fly during Happily Ever After. I'm more excited than Ariel, with a treasure chest of thingamabobs, to be a planDisney panelist. I can't wait to help you and your family discover your unique, magical moments!  Learn More About Shonette
