Hi Hayley! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question!
One of my favorite things about the Walt Disney World Resort is the additional experiences that are offered throughout the parks and resorts. You can spend a morning horseback riding near
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort or take a specialty cruise from Crescent Lake to the World Showcase Lagoon to catch Harmonious. There is always something new to add on to make each trip a new experience.
I have two young daughters and we have been eagerly awaiting the return of
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Although Disney has not announced a return date just yet, I do have high hopes that we will hear some news soon. With the
Grand Floridian Spa re-opening about a month ago, it's encouraging that services similar to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique are making a comeback. Since you are still over two months from your royal visit, circumstances still have time to change. I would suggest following the
Disney Parks Blog for all up-to-date announcements!
Dining inside of
Cinderella Castle is a dream come true for many adult Guests and their children.
Cinderella's Royal Table allows you to experience a delectable meal while being surrounded by majestic architecture and décor. The icing on the cake was being able to meet Cinderella and various Princesses while dining. Although none of the other Princesses have returned to this location and Walt Disney World has not marketed this as a character meal since its return, Cinderella has been making appearances during this meal. She typically comes out to the banquet room and waves from afar. You'll be able to snap some photos, but you will not be able to meet her here at this time. Again, all of this may change before your visit in May, but you'll have to look out for any announcements regarding this.
You can meet Cinderella,
Princess Tiana, and various Princesses at the Princess Fairytale Hall located near Cinderella Castle. You'll get a chance to speak with her and take pictures from a distance. My daughters really enjoyed this experience on our most recent trip since this type of interaction has been missing for quite some time.
Hayley, I hope you have a magical time on your upcoming stay! Best of luck getting all of your Advanced Dining Reservations you desire!
See ya real soon!
