Hi Krystal!
Welcome back to planDisney! I'm so glad you stopped by as you plan the best day ever for your daughter's birthday! While Rapunzel has been known to make appearances at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in EPCOT, I think your best bet is to head to
Magic Kingdom Park if this princess is your top priority.
Krystal, you'll find several opportunities to interact with Rapunzel and the Tangled story at Magic Kingdom Park. As you mentioned, Rapunzel typically joins Tiana at
Princess Fairytale Hall behind Cinderella Castle. Character appearances are subject to change, but you can always confirm with a Cast Member before joining the queue. I like asking the characters about some of their friends when we visit, so this meet and greet is the perfect chance to ask her how Flynn Rider and Pascal are doing as well! You can also look for Rapunzel in the
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade. Not only will you usually find her and Flynn, but you can also find some of her friends from The Snuggly Duckling.
As the sun begins to set, I suggest heading over towards Peter Pan's Flight and "it's a small world" where Rapunzel's tower is sitting high above Fantasyland. There are some great photo opportunities in this Tangled-inspired area of Magic Kingdom Park. Did you know that many nights you can find a
Disney PhotoPass photographer here taking lantern photos? When you're in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App, click the location icon from the bottom menu and then change the dropdown at the top to "PhotoPass" for a look at available PhotoPass locations. Lastly, don't miss
Happily Ever After which includes the song "I See the Light" and beautiful lantern projections on Cinderella Castle. For the perfect view (and a sweet ending to her birthday), you may also want to reserve one of the
Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties.
Krystal, I hope this information helps you plan a special birthday celebration for your daughter! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!
Cheers,
Kristi
