Why hello again Deena, it's great to welcome you back to planDisney!
Take it from an official Disney Prince (so to speak), meeting our Princess pals is definitely something that folks and families look forward to whenever they go to a Disney Destination and the gorgeous surroundings of Disneyland Paris offer so many opportunities for fans to meet them at popular locations like the
Princess Pavilion! Taking a look at the
official posted Park Hours and calendar, you'll be happy to hear that the Princess Pavilion is only currently scheduled to be closed until November 22, 2024 and is expected reopen by November 23, 2024. (While opening and closing periods for offerings may be subject to change without prior notice, checking the calendar and filtering by what is "Under Refurbishment" on the
Disneyland Paris app is always a good way to stay updated.)
If you do happen to be visiting over the next few days, here are some other spots where you might be able to meet these inspiringly fierce females and encounter royalty:
- While the Princesses may appear to surprise and delight everyone roaming throughout the park, guests have recently spotted Jasmine and Mulan in Adventureland beyond Colonel Hathi’s Outpost Restaurant while Merida and Asha have been seen in Fantasyland near The Old Mill.
- Princess Aurora's Magical Wishes takes place in the courtyard just behind Sleeping Beauty castle, and while you won't be able to come up to take a photo with her she does spend time alongside Prince Phillip greeting guests from the area around the Sword in the Stone.
- In Central Plaza, the Disney Princess Holiday Season Celebration features Cinderella, Belle, Snow White, Tiana, Ariel, Mulan, Jasmine and Rapunzel and it's always interesting to see them in warm, furry versions of their signature outfits when the air is chillier outside!
- Choosing a Character Dining experience like Auberge de Cendrillon or La Table de Lumière is a great way to be able to meet several all at once, but these spots can often be challenging to snag as they're incredibly popular!
- If you're staying at the Disneyland Hotel, you'll likely have many chances to meet the Princesses like booking A Disney Royal Encounter or during breakfast in the Castle Club lounge if you're eligible for access to it. On my last visit, La Troupe Royale Disney also had performances that culminated with a surprise visit from one of the Princesses, but they are currently on a "scheduled break" until January 6, 2025. Be sure to ask fellow planDisney pal Amy C about her experiences meeting royalty here during her first stay!
I hope this helps, Deena; you're always welcome to come back to us here at planDisney again for any other tips, answers or advice ahead of your upcoming Disneyland Paris adventure!
Be sure to say hi to my Princess pals for me!
