You are going to want to avoid these 5 HUGE mistakes when planning a trip to Disney World. Discover how to make your trip fun and stress free!
Snow White The fairest of them all has a permanent meet and greet location at the wishing well in the Germany Pavilion in EPCOT. She typically meets 12pm-6pm. Sometimes she meets out in Main Street in Magic Kingdom. She will appear in the mornings. Her location is always changing on Main Street, so ask a Cast Member or keep an eye out. Cinderella Cinderella has a permanent meet and greet location in Princess Fairytale Hall in Fantasyland. This is right next to her castle and carousel. This can be an especially long wait. She meets from park opening to park close. Fast Passes are available to meet her here. Aurora Aurora Sometimes Aurora meets on Main Street in the morning. There is a picture of her castle by City Hall, and that's where her queue is. Ariel The most obvious place to meet Ariel is in the Little Mermaid section of Magic Kingdom. Next to her dark ride is Ariel's Grotto. This is her meet and greet area. Lines to meet her can be fairly long, around half an hour. She usually meets from park open to half an hour before park close. A Fast Pass can be obtained to meet her. The great thing about her queue is it is in shade and air conditioning, so this is a good place to escape the heat for a while. Belle Belle's main meet and greet location is in the France Pavilion in EPCOT. She typically meets on the side closets to Morocco. Her line is one of the longest for characters at EPCOT. At this location she usually wears her blue and white dress. She meets mid-morning to evening. Check schedules for more specific times. There is also Enchanted Tales with Belle. This isn't so much of a meet and greet, but children can get a quick pic with Belle here. She will not sign autographs here. She wears her gold ball gown at this location. Jasmine Aladdin and Princess Jasmine can be found next to the Magic Carpet ride in Adventureland. Their permanent meet and greet location is between Aloha Isle (Dole Whip stand) and the Agrabah Bazaar. This meet and greet is open from half an hour after park opening until 6 at night. When Jasmine isn't in Agrabah, she likes to fly on the magic carpet to Morocco. Her spot is tucked way in the back of the Morocco Pavilion of EPCOT. She meet periodically from 11:45 am to 5:30pm. Pocahontas Since Poca is a friend to all animals, she meets at Animal Kingdom. Her meet and greet area can be tricky to find if you don't keep your eyes open. It is on Discovery Island, next to the Dinoland bridge. Look for the sign and the Cast Member in a blue shirt. You will then head down a secluded path behind foliage and trees. This queue definitely sets up the atmosphere to meet the Powhatan Princess. Fun Fact: Pocahontas' meet and greet location is actually the queue to an abandoned attraction called Discovery River Boats. . Mulan The hero of China meets in China, of course! Because this is the only "Mulan" experience in all of Walt Disney World, she draws a big crowd at EPCOT. She used to meet wearing her pink matchmaker dress, but recently she got a new outfit just for the parks. She meets periodically between 11am and 5pm. Tiana As of summer 2016, Tiana will sometimes meet alongside Cinderella or Rapunzel in Princess Fairytale Hall. Check schedules for the exact days she appears! Rapunzel Rapunzel meets everyday in Princess Fairytale Hall from park opening to park close. Since she is a popular princess, her wait time can be rather long. Fast Passes are available to meet her here. Merida Fantasyland's Fairytale Garden has been decorated with tapestries and archery targets just for Merida! Fairytale Garden is located by the Fantasyland bridge and just across from Cosmic Ray's. She meets everyday from park opening to 7pm. Merida's line can become longest in the middle of the day. Her queue is fun to wait in for little ones, as there is a coloring table. Elsa and Anna These two sisters now have a permanent meet and greet location in the Norway Pavilion of EPCOT. They meet park open to park close. Moana Moana does not have a permanent meet and greet location, but she does currently meet in Hollywood Studios. She can be found inside Animation Courtyard. Check with a Cast Member for specific times. Here is a cheat sheet:
