Hello, Cathy and welcome to planDisney where we hope we can help you plan a trip that will have you exclaiming, as Rapunzel did,
"Best Day Ever!"
Cathy, no matter how old my kids get, we always make sure to squeeze in some time for character meet and greets, so I'm happy to chat with you about how to see "the Lost Princess."
While there are currently no character dining locations that Rapunzel frequents, I have found her hugging guests and signing autographs
inside Princess Fairytale Hall at Magic Kingdom Park. On your
My Disney Experience Mobile App, if you click on the icon at the bottom that looks like a pin dropped, you will pull up a park map. Then, at the top of the page, you'll see a drop-down menu where one of the choices includes
Characters. If you click on Characters, you can see the location of Fairytale Hall and you'll see Rapunzel's picture show up as a visiting Princess!
Now, Cathy, speaking of Princess Fairytale Hall, for guests wishing to skip the standby line and see their favorite Princesses with a shortened wait time, this is one option for a
Lightning Lane using Disney Genie+. Since you have a 5-year-old who is a hesitant rider, I would encourage you to look at the full list of attractions (
HERE) included with Disney Genie+ before deciding if the cost is worth it for your little Mouseketeer.
When using the (included) Disney Genie, you can get started before you even arrive! Once you have tickets and a
theme park reservation linked to your account, open up your My Disney Experience Mobile App and you'll see a Recommendation for Disney Genie with an option to "get started." If you click on that, you can select the date of your park visit and your traveling companions (based on who is linked to you with the same Disney Park Pass). You'll then see a list of attractions. You can select which attractions you'd most like to do so! Cathy, from there, on the day of your visit Disney Genie will update wait times and suggestions for your day.
I hope this helps as you're looking ahead to February. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to come on back to planDisney where we have even more dreams than the rowdy bunch at the Snuggly Duckling!
