Do you have you very own princess at home? You know the type. She walks around the house in plastic high heeled princess shoes while holding up the edge of her over priced yet adorable princess gown. She may even have a matching tiara and glittery wand. If so, this is the perfect time to visit Disney. Disney has done a great job on creating several princess oriented events. Three of the most popular events are Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Pirates and Princesses Party, and the Princess Character meals.
Bibbidi BobbidiBoutique
This is the most unique among the many princess experiences offered. Depending on the package you choose, your little princess will have her hair, makeup, and nails done by their very own fairy godmother. Some packages include a princess gown and photo. There are two locations. The Downtown Disney location is popular because you do not have to pay park admission. The newest location is in Disney's Magic Kingdom.
Pirates and Princesses Party
What could be more fun than being in Disney's Magic Kingdom after normal park hours? This event requires a separate ticket and allows you admission to the party. Many of the kids come dressed as pirates and princesses. There is a special parade and plenty of princess characters throughout the park. The best part of this party is the smaller crowds, shorter ride lines, and the late park hours.
Princess Character Meals
A princess character meal can be great fun. The food is good and the photo opportunities are perfect. Princesses come to your table where your princess can get an autograph and have her picture made. The most popular location is in Cinderella's Castle at the Royal Table in Magic Kingdom. Epcot also has a great princess character meal. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is located in Epcot's Norway. Another option is to try Disney's Grand Floridian's 1900 Park Fare. It is a great princess character meal that does not require park admission.
All of these events require advanced planning. Be sure to plan on making reservations for any of these options. The most difficult reservation to get is at Cinderalla's Royal Table. Reservations are available 180 days in advance. If you want to eat at the Royal Table make sure to call 407-WDW-DINE at 7 am on the 180 day mark. It sounds crazy, but I have actually called just before 8 am on the 180 day mark and found that the entire day had already been booked. If you have little princesses in your party, this is truly the reservation to make sure you get.
