Royal greetings, Rocio from the ice castle of planDisney. As a fellow grandmother to a granddaughter, I'm tickled pink and thrilled to answer this fun question! We both know that some people really are worth melting for, and those words are never truer than when we talk about our practically perfect grandchildren! So hear ye, hear ye, let's help your future 5-year-old have a birthday as magical as Coronation Day!
At this time, there are no character dining experiences with Anna and Elsa, but that doesn't mean we don't have a flurry of ways for your granddaughter to hang out with her favorite Arendelle royalty.
Our first stop is EPCOT. Tucked away in the Norway Pavilion, you'll find
Elsa and Anna's cozy country cabin, where your granddaughter can pose for pictures and meet her favorite princesses, even getting their autographs. Your granddaughter will LOVE this! Now, we don't want to venture
into the unknown! We need to stay in Norway, where you can also find
Frozen Ever After. This ride will magically transport your granddaughter to Elsa's ice castle and immerse her in the enchanting story of these remarkable sisters. If dining with princesses is still a goal, I highly recommend the
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. This regal experience feels like it's straight out of a storybook, and you'll often dine with characters like Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Belle, Tiana, and Jasmine, among others. While the guest list may change, you're sure to encounter plenty of princesses here.
Our next stop is Hollywood Studios! Rocio, I am so excited to tell you about
"For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration." In this show, the Royal Historians of Arendelle narrate the story of Anna and Elsa, and you and your granddaughter can join in the fun by singing along. I don't want to spoil the ending, but get ready for a little Frozen magic in an experience you both will never forget. Also, be sure to see "Fantasmic!" while at Hollywood Studios—Elsa makes a grand appearance there as well!
Finally, let's head over to Magic Kingdom Park, where you won't want to miss the
Festival of Fantasy Parade or
Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire stage show in front of Cinderella Castle. You'll see characters like Elsa, Anna, and even Olaf! Additionally, be sure to check out the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park. Here, the Fairy Godmother's Apprentices can magically transform your granddaughter into a princess with just a wave of a magic wand. It's truly a magical moment that your granddaughter will remember forever.
Oh my goodness! I'm so happy you get to be your granddaughter's "Fairy Grandmother," making her birthday wishes come true. I hope this information helps you as you plan your trip during Olaf's favorite season—summer! Please feel free to reach out to us here at planDisney anytime you have questions while planning your magical vacation. I'm so happy to have answered your question as one grandmother to another. If only we could keep our girls "Frozen" in time, but they keep growing up, so enjoy every magical moment!
Happy planning,
Shonette
