Ultimate Guide to Meeting Princesses at Disney World 2024

Other than Mickey Mouse the most popular characters at Walt Disney World are princesses. I have met every Disney princess there is at Disney World and have done all of their attractions too! Here is my Ultimate Guide to Meeting Princesses at Disney World. 

How to Meet all the Princesses at Walt Disney World

To meet all of the princesses you need to visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and Epcot.

Some of the princesses can be met at Cinderella’s Royal Table or Akershus and it is the best way to see several princesses at once without all the lines. Akershus is the more budget-friendly choice and it is easier to get a reservation for. 

Except for the Disney Princesses at Princess Fairytale Hall and Ariel at her Grotto, the princesses stop meeting with guests around 5 o’clock so if princesses are on your must-do list make sure to schedule them earlier in the day rather than later. 

Where to Meet Snow White at Disney World

Snow White, the fairest of them all, is the gentle and kind-hearted princess from Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Despite the jealousy and cruelty of her wicked stepmother, the Evil Queen, Snow White maintains her innocence and optimism. Her genuine kindness and ability to befriend everyone she meets, including the seven dwarfs, highlight her pure heart.

• Magic Kingdom. Snow White meets guests next to City Hall most of the time. If Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny are out she is then found across the street in the Theater Gardens area. 
• Epcot. You will find Snow White in Germany at her Wishing Well. She starts meeting around noon and is there intermittently until 5 o’clock. Without a dining experience, this is my favorite spot to meet her because of the background with her Wishing Well.  There is not a Genie+ option for her meet and greet but there is a Photopass Photographer. 

• Cinderella’s Royal Table. Snow White is usually at Cinderella’s Royal Table for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 
• Akershus. Snow White can sometimes be seen at Akershus. 
• Storybook Dining at Artist Point. Snow White is the star of Storybook Dining at Artist Point. Along with Snow White, you can see the Evil Queen, Dopey, and Grumpy. 

Where to Meet Aurora at Disney World

Princess Aurora, also known as Sleeping Beauty, is known for her elegance, beauty, and gentle nature. In Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty,” Aurora is cursed by the evil Maleficent to fall into a deep sleep on her sixteenth birthday, only to be awakened by true love’s kiss. Aurora’s story is one of romance and the triumph of good over evil, emphasizing the power of love and the enchantment of fairy tales.

• Epcot. Aurora is found in the France Pavilion. There is not a Lightning Lane option for her meet and greet but there is a Photopass Photographer. 
• Cinderella’s Royal Table. Princess Aurora is usually found at breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table. 
• Akershus. Princess Aurora is usually at Akershus. 

How to Meet Cinderella

Cinderella is the epitome of grace and kindness, despite the hardships she faces under the rule of her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. Her story in Disney’s classic film “Cinderella” showcases her unwavering hope and belief in dreams coming true.

• Magic Kingdom. Cinderella can be found at Princess Fairytale Hall. Without a dining reservation, this is the only way to meet her.
• Cinderella’s Royal Table. Cinderella is at her restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

How to Meet Jasmine

Princess Jasmine from Disney’s “Aladdin” is known for her independence, strong will, and desire for freedom. Unwilling to be confined by her royal duties, she seeks adventure and dreams of experiencing life beyond the palace walls. Jasmine’s tale is one of empowerment and breaking free from societal constraints, all while finding true love with the charming Aladdin.

• Epcot. You can find Princess Jasmine in the Morroco Pavilion. The meet and greet area is really neat and is in the air conditioning. 
• Magic Kingdom. Jasmine and Aladdin can be found to the right of the Magic Carpet ride. A lightning lane is not available but there is a Photopass Photographer. The meet and greet is located outside. They sign autographs. 

How to Meet Pocahontas

Pocahontas, the wise and free-spirited heroine of Disney’s “Pocahontas,” embodies a deep respect for nature and harmony. Her story, inspired by the historical figure, explores themes of peace, understanding, and the clash of cultures as she forms a bond with Captain John Smith. Pocahontas’s tale is a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy and the beauty of the natural world.

• Animal Kingdom. Pocahontas can be found on Discovery Island right before the entrance to Dinoland USA. A lightning land is not available and her line averages about 45 minutes, longer during peak season. She meets outside so be prepared for a hot wait to see her. 

How to Meet Belle 

Belle, the intelligent and adventurous heroine of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” is renowned for her love of books and her desire for more than the provincial life. She bravely sacrifices her freedom to save her father, ultimately teaching the Beast about compassion and love. Belle’s story is a beautiful narrative about looking beyond appearances and finding beauty within.

• Magic Kingdom. Though not an official meet and greet location, you can get a picture with Belle in her ball gown at the Enchanted Tales with Belle attraction. After the show, Belle invites those who have participated to line up for a picture with her.

Even if you are not in the show you can line up to take a picture with her, this includes adults. There are no autographs and it is just a quick picture, not a whole interaction. A Photopass Photographer will take the picture and you will receive a Photopass card on your way out that will have all the pictures for everyone that took one during your show. 

• Epcot. Belle can be found around the France Pavilion in her village dress. Most times there is a Photopass Photographer available, but if they are shorthanded this is one of the locations where they make cuts. There is always a character attendant available to take the picture with your camera. 

• Akershus. Belle is the first princess you meet at Akershus and her meet and greet takes place before the meal with a Photopass Photographer. She meets in her ball gown. 

How to Meet Mulan

Mulan is the courageous and determined heroine from Disney’s “Mulan,” who disguises herself as a man to take her ailing father’s place in the Chinese army. Her story is one of bravery, self-discovery, and honor as she challenges societal norms and proves her worth through her intelligence and combat skills. Mulan’s journey emphasizes the importance of family, loyalty, and the courage to be true to oneself.

• Magic Kingdom. You can find Ariel under the sea at her Grotto. A Photopass Photographer is available, and she does sign autographs. Most of the time the wait is not over 30-40 minutes so you might just want to keep an eye on wait times for a short wait time to see her. 
• Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. The Little Mermaid can sometimes be found in her princess dress at Akershus. Like Mulan, she is not guaranteed. 

How to Meet Rapunzel

Rapunzel, the spirited and adventurous princess from Disney’s “Tangled,” is known for her long, magical hair and her desire to experience the world beyond her tower. With the help of the charming thief Flynn Rider, she escapes her confinement and embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

How to Meet Princess Anna and Queen Elsa

• Epcot. Princess Anna and Queen Elsa can be found in the Norway Pavilion in their Summer Haus. I have rarely seen their wait time go over 45 minutes, even during peak times. Most of the wait is inside. Lightning Lane access is not offered. They do sign autographs and there is a PhotoPass Photographer available. 

How to Meet Moana

Moana is a spirited and determined explorer from Disney’s “Moana,” who sets out on a daring voyage to save her island and people. With the guidance of the demigod Maui, she discovers her true identity and the strength within herself. Moana’s story celebrates bravery, self-discovery, and the deep connection between people and nature, showcasing her as a modern and empowering heroine.

• Animal Kingdom. Moana can be found at Discovery Island, Character Landing. Her meet and greet is popular so check the app for times she is available and try to arrive 10-15 minutes earlier.
• Epcot. Moana meets around her attraction, Journey of Water.

Disney Princess Character Interaction Tips

1. Immerse Yourself in their Fairytale. All Disney characters live in their fairytale world so ask them questions about their movie. Some ideas are to ask Rapunzel how she takes care of her hair or where Pascal is hiding out, ask Cinderella if she has lost any shoes lately, or ask Tiana about her recipes. Sometimes the characters will lead the conversation with shy guests, but I always have a neat question in the back of my mind if they don’t. 
2. Disneybound or Dress Up. If you are under the age of 14, the princesses love when you dress you like them. Children can get a whole dress-up experience at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. If you are over the age of 14, you can Disneybound and all the Disney characters usually “get” your bound and play along with you. 
3. Get Autographs. All of the princesses have unique ways that they sign their names. For instance, Ariel makes bubbles with hers while Elsa makes snowflakes.
