Hello Chris, and welcome to planDisney! Do I hear wedding bells ringing, or is that just Tinker Bell chatting with us?! While a meet-and-greet experience is not currently being offered at Walt Disney World Resort, I am happy to help you plan out ways to see her. Let's have some faith, trust, and pixie dust, and think a happy thought!
One of the most magical ways to see Tink is by watching her flight from Cinderella Castle during
Happily Ever After. There's something so special and awe-inspiring about the swell of the music and the lyrics reminding us all to have the courage to follow our dreams that gets me misty-eyed every time. I definitely feel that Disney magic when Tinker Bell appears in the tallest tower and soars overhead, flicking her wand. I recommend checking the
Hours and Events Calendar to make sure Happily Ever After will be showing on your desired date.
Another way to see Tinker Bell is to line up for a parade at Magic Kingdom Park. Tinker Bell is featured in the
Festival of Fantasy Parade and also appears in the
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away Parade. Just remember that characters in these parades are subject to change, and weather may affect some performances and character appearances.
Some other options include asking a
Disney PhotoPass photographer if any Tinker Bell Magic Shots are available, checking out the Tinker Bell merchandise at
World of Disney, or going through the interactive queue of
Peter Pan's Flight. You might even choose to
meet Peter Pan and ask if he knows what Tink has been up to lately! These will allow you to still get a Tinker Bell memento or interaction, even if it's not at a meet-and-greet level. I even have some Tinker Bell pins and a magnetic shoulder buddy that I wear!
Ok, Chris. I know this is probably not the news you wanted, but I hope some of these suggestions will work for the bachelorette group. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog so you'll be the first to know if a Tinker Bell meet-and-greet returns to Disney World. Meet me back here at planDisney with any other questions!
Stay magical,
Scott
