A visit to Walt Disney World would not be complete without a character meet and greet or two. Or twenty. And, compliments of there being so many to choose from, especially in Magic Kingdom, narrowing down the logistics and locations can be rough. To help with planning your next visit, here’s a complete list of where to find Magic Kingdom characters and Princesses.
When I started visiting Magic Kingdom with my family, I’ll admit, the amount of attractions, rides, and Disney characters was overwhelming. Add in the fact that the park is massive (we average 5-7 miles per day when visiting) made any extra footwork hunting down what we wanted to do next not ideal. Just in case you need to get your bearings, here’s the link to the full Magic Kingdom map.
These days, I’m all about efficiency. I love hitting rope drop at Magic Kingdom compliments of lower crowd levels. Ask the Disney experts and they’ll tell you the first two hours at any WDW theme park is the sweet spot – and that includes Disney character and princess meet and greets. This complete list of Magic Kingdom character meet and greets is narrowed down by land and location and in alphabetical order. As for Disney Princesses, I’ve listed them in alphabetical order for easy reference.
Let’s start with Disney characters and Princesses that have the FastPass+ option available:
Magic Kingdom Characters with Fastpasses
- Aurora – Fairy Tale Hall (Behind Cinderella Castle)
- Cinderella – Fairy Tale Hall in Fantasyland (Behind Cinderella Castle)
- Mickey Mouse – Town Square in Town Square Theater
- Rapunzel – Fairy Tale Hall (Behind Cinderella Castle)
- Tiana – Fairy Tale Hall (Behind Cinderella Castle)
- Tinkerbell – Town Square in Town Square Theater
Disney Princesses are located all over the park. If you’re adamant on meeting a particular Princess, and Fastpasses are available, take advantage of the feature.
