Where to meet Princesses in Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is a Princess fan’s dream and it’s possible to find almost all of the Disney Princesses in the park. Here’s where to meet the Princesses in Magic Kingdom:

1 | Cinderella’s Royal Table

Meet with: Cinderella, Jasmine, Aurora, Snow White/Merida, and Ariel
Location: Fantasyland
Additional cost/Reservation Required:
Yes, the Princess meets are part of the Cinderella Royal Table dining experience

Cinderella’s Royal Table is set in the majestic Cinderella Castle and is the ultimate Princess meet and greet in Magic Kingdom!

Upon entry to the Castle’s Grand Hall, you will meet Cinderella as she welcomes guests to her castle. After proceeding upstairs to the banquet hall, you will be seated for dining and, typically, 4 other princesses will stop by your table during the course of your meal – we met Jasmine, Aurora, Snow White and Ariel during a recent visit. This is the typical princess line up for Cinderella’s Royal Table although recently we’ve seen Merida stepping in for Snow White on multiple occassions.

Where to meet Princesses in Disney World tip: breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in Cinderella’s Royal table. Reservations are payable at time of booking and include gratuity. Cinderella only meets guests in the Grand Hall and does not visit guests at their tables during meals – a Photopass photographer is available to capture the moment.

Reserving Cinderella’s Royal Table

Cinderella’s Royal Table is one of the hottest reservations in Disney World so we’d definitely recommend reserving well in advance. Dining reservations typically open 60 days in advance at approximately 6am EST (plus resort guests can reserve in advance for the duration of their stay, up to 10 days maximum, 60 days out from the start of their reservation).

If you miss out on the initial drop then sign up for Mouse Dining and set text alerts for your preferred days and times if you don’t get your favored appointment times.

Try Mouse Dining now!

Princesses at Disney World tip: dining alerts are a Walt Disney World essential and we recommend signing up to  Mouse Dining. You sign up, set alerts to your desired reservations (e.g. 8am Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table) and, as soon as a cancellation is made, the dining alert service will alert you via email and/or text so you can reserve it immediately. We rely heavily on dining alerts in the run up to all our Walt Disney World and Disneyland California trips and we’ve always been able to secure a reservation. We’ve tried a few services and always return to  Mouse Dining. as their alerts are super speedy and reliable – there is a free service (email only, 6 alerts) but we use the monthly subscription ($9, email and text alerts, includes international texts) in the months leading up to our Walt Disney World visit. If you want one of the highly sought-after reservations like Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique or Cinderella’s Royal Table then we’d recommend the paid monthly subscription as you can set up alerts for all your planned Magic Kingdom Days and we always notice the text alerts instantly. Make sure to practice with an easy-to-secure reservation so you know the exact process – this is essential as Bibbidi Bobbidi and Cinderella’s Royal Table reservations are snapped up almost instantly! – check out Mouse Dining here!

Enchanted Tales with Belle

Where to meet Princesses in Disney World tip: Belle takes photos with the show participants and young guests in the audience. On some days we’ve been there the photo invite was thrown out to anyone in the audience but, if not, it probably doesn’t hurt to ask if you can get in line for a photo.

Magician Mickey meets guests in the Mickey Mouse Theatre in Town Square and there is an easy-to-miss Princess meet and greet right at the exit to the theatre. Typically, Snow White hosts the meet and greet – however, on our most recent visits, she has been switching out with Mulan. Make sure to visit early in the day as we’ve found that this meet and greet wraps up before lunch.

7 | Jasmine at the Agrabah Bazaar

Princess Jasmine and Aladdin are often found at the Agrabah Bazaar close to the Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride.

Other Princess Experiences at Magic Kingdom

From seeing the Princesses from a distance to Princess themed attractions, here are our other Princess favorites at Magic Kingdom

  • Parades: the Princesses feature prominently in the Magic Kindom parades. Festival of Fantasy features Belle and Beast, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Anna and Elsa, Tiana and Prince Naveen, Tinkerbell, Snow White, Rapunzel, Merida and Ariel. The Adventure Friends Cavalcade has Jasmine, Merida, Mulan, Pocahontas, Moana, and Mirabel making appearances on the floats.

  • Princess Walkabouts: in recent months the Princesses have been seen on evening walks through Magic Kingdom with Princess Aurora, Snow White and Ariel even riding the carousel during one outing! Guests are not invited to meet the princesses during their walkabout but they often interact with younger guests, sometimes taking them by the hand to join them on their walk.
  • Mickey’s PhilharMagic: Ariel, Tinkerbell, Aladdin and Jasmine appear in the 3D show.
  • Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire: Anna, Elsa, Rapunzel, and Tiana appear in this daily stage show in front of Cinderella’s Castle.

Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire
  • Cinderella’s Castle and Carriage: at the heart of Disney World, Cinderella’s Castle sits at the entrance to Fantasyland at the end of Main Street. The castle is the backdrop to millions of Disney World photos – you can usually catch a Photopass Photographer in front of the castle if you want to capture some group/family photos. To enter the castle you will need to be dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table or having a princess makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
  • Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique: guests aged 3 to 12 are transformed into Princesses and Knights during a Royal Makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. There are a number of packages available with the starter package including makeup, face gems and hair ($99.95+tax) and increase in price depending on extras – children can choose a princess gown ($199.95 + tax) or upgrade to a deluxe princess gown ($229.95 + tax). There is also an Encato-themed package which includes a Mirabel or Isabela gown ($179.95 + tax). Knight packages with hair styling and a sword and shield start at $19.95 + tax – check out our full guide to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Magic Kingdom!

Where to meet the Princesses at Disney World tip: reservations typically open 60 days in advance at approximately 6am EST (plus resort guests can reserve in advance for the duration of their stay, up to 10 days maximum, 60 days out from the start of their reservation) – guests outside the US will need to use a VPN to make a reservation. We find Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique one of the hardest reservations to secure after the initial opening window – on our most recent visit I was only able to get an appointment the evening before despite trying for around 6 weeks in the lead up to our departure!

  • Sir Mickey’s: this princess-themed boutique has a royal photo studio with the perfect backdrop for capturing princess photos. A Photopass photographer is in attendance and there are props including a poisoned apple for Snow White fans or a leather-bound book for Belle fans. Sir Mickey’s is a must-do after makeovers at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
  • Be Our Guest: located in the Beast’s enchanted Castle in Magic Kingdom, this is a Beauty and the Beast-themed dining experience. There are no character meet and greets but the Beast usually walks through the dining hall during dining.
  • Royal Attractions: Princess fans will enjoy the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid, the Magic Carpets of Aladdin and the Prince Charming Regal Carousel
