If you have a little prince or princess in the making, you’ll want to know all the spots and opportunities available to meet their favourite Disney Princess Characters at Disneyland® Paris. We’ve done the research so you don’t have to!

Where to see Disney Princesses at Disneyland® Paris

Meeting the famous Disney Princesses at Disneyland® Paris is a dream come true for little ones who want to catch a glimpse of their royal heroes, as well as adults who grew up with these beloved characters!

There’s no moment more magical than seeing your child’s eyes light up as they recognise the iconic dresses and approach their favourite Princess – the encounter is guaranteed to be an enchanting moment to remember.

We’ve done some digging and discovered where the Princesses like to hang out so you can make the most of your experience and know where to look.

Meet & Greets

Generally, the best spot to hang out if you want a guaranteed meet with Disney Princesses is Fantasyland in the Disneyland® Park. Here you’ll find Princess Pavilion – an indoor attraction that is beautifully decorated with tokens of each Princess. As you enter the Princess room, who you get to meet will be a complete surprise! But the usual guests include:

Cinderella, Aurora, Rapunzel, Snow White, Ariel, Belle, Tiana, Jasmine

This experience is incredibly popular, and we recommend either joining the queue first thing (make use of that Extra Magic Hour!) or waiting until later in the day.

Shows

Another way to see Princesses is one of the many schedules shows (these are a must-do experience anyway!) Frozen: A Musical Invitation is one of the best ways to see Elsa and Anna, especially as they do not have meet and greets in the park. You’ll be taken through a few different rooms on a journey with the characters from Frozen and enjoy the instantly recognisable music.

Disney Stars on Parade is another great way to see them from afar and catch a wave or a smile. The daily parade features a host of characters including many of the Princesses and a usually a dedicated Frozen float with Elsa and Anna on board.

Mickey and the Magician is one of the most popular shows at Disneyland® Paris, so if you’re lucky enough to get a spot then you’ll have the added benefit of seeing Cinderella, Belle, and Elsa as Mickey discovers magical objects which introduce them!

Character Dining

A magical experience to consider during your visit if you want a guaranteed Princess encounter is a meal at Auberge de Cendrillon. You’ll enjoy delicious French dishes while the Princesses make appearances and meet and greet guests. There are usually around 4 different Princesses at a time so you’ll definitely share a moment with a few of them. This experience involves the same characters as Princess Pavilion, with some other rare sightings to keep an eye out for such as Mulan, Minnie Mouse in her Princess dress, and Merida. Again we’d encourage little ones to dress in Princess and Prince costumes for an even more magical encounter!

Top tip – There is a secret spot right outside of Auberge de Cendrillon (the gate next to the Cinderella Carriage) where you may be lucky enough to see some Princesses arriving or leaving the restaurant! They can’t stop for long, but you may be able to say hi, wave or chat to them as they walk.

Character Dining requires booking in advance. Check out our guide on When and How to Book Character Dining.

*Booking is now open for Princess Breakfast at Auberge de Cendrillon in the Disneyland® Park!

Disneyland® Hotel

If you’re lucky enough to be a guest at the newly refurbished Disneyland® Hotel, and you’re staying in a Castle Club room or Suite, then you benefit from an exclusive breakfast with the Princesses at Castle Club Lounge!

Amazing stay at Disney Hotel Cheyenne for my daughter’s 7th birthday. Staying at an on-site hotel was wonderful! Walking into the park and back each day…no having to pay for taxis or even queuing for shuttles! Hotel Cheyenne was a great Wild West theme – my daughter dressed as Jessie, met her in the reception then had a real horse ride!
