Thinking of heading to EPCOT? Do you love the Disney Princesses but you’re not sure where to meet them?
Belle Meeting Guests at EPCOT
Here are the best tips and tricks when meeting princesses at EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
Over the past few years, EPCOT has really become a more family-friendly park. Characters are available to meet at almost every pavilion in the World Showcase!
But when you enter the main entrance of EPCOT, you’re probably wondering, where do I go?
Map of EPCOT
Make sure to grab a park map or use your Disney app to help guide you in the right direction! Park maps are available right near the entrance.
Using the park map, make your way around Spaceship Earth and head straight back to the World Showcase!

Ready to find some characters? Let’s unpack some of them now…
Norway Pavilion
Let’s start near the beginning of the World Showcase at the Norway Pavilion.
Over at the Royal Sommerhus, Anna and Elsa meet guests all day long! You will be transported into the world of Arendelle where you can meet these Frozen princesses.
Royal Sommerhus at Norway Pavilion
Anna and Elsa meet in the same room but greet guests separately.
There usually is a longer wait for these two sisters, so make sure to plan accordingly.

Also, over in the Norway Pavilion, is Akershus Royal Banquet Hall.
This is a Disney princess dining experience. Princesses you can meet here include Tiana, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, and Snow White!

Disney princesses come around to your table as you eat so you can take pictures with them, grab a hug, and even snag an autograph!
Princess Tiana at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
Akershus usually requires advanced reservations and reservations tend to go pretty quickly. The character meals are generally the most popular spots to eat.
Akershus has breakfast, lunch, and dinner options where you can meet your favorite princess – enjoy a spread of Norwegian and American food in a family-style setting while also saying hello to your favorite princesses!

China Pavilion
Mulan can be found meeting guests in the gardens of this pavilion. Sometimes, when it rains, she moves inside the pavilion so have no fear if you don’t see her right away.

A fun thing to discuss with Mulan is all her travels around China! Ask her about Mushu, Shang, and all the other warrior members.
Make sure to check for times on the Walt Disney World app so that you don’t miss this princess!

Germany Pavilion
Snow White is found near her wishing well and meeting guests throughout the day!
A really fun photo opportunity with Snow white would be looking inside her wishing well – ask Snow White for fun posing that you can experience.

Just like Mulan, make sure to check for times on the Walt Disney World app so that you don’t miss this princess!
Morocco Pavilion
Princess Jasmine meets guests inside the Morocco Pavilion all day long. She’s kind of hard to find; make sure to go into the pavilion and go to the right! She’s usually inside a small building there!

France Pavilion
France has two princesses that can be found; can you guess who they are?
If you guessed Belle and Aurora, you are correct!
France Pavilion
First, Belle meets guests closer to the water as you are making your way from the Morocco Pavilion! She is usually in her blue village dress.
Not sure what to talk about with Belle? I recommend chatting about your favorite books with this princess!
Belle in France
Next, Aurora can usually be found meeting guests in the gazebo at the France Pavilion. This is closer to the Ratatouille portion of the pavilion.
Aurora in EPCOT
Oftentimes, Aurora is seen in her pink dress. It’s usually fun to chat about which of her dress colors is better: pink or blue!?
What Should You Expect During a Meet and Greet?
Character meet and greets, especially with the princesses, usually consists of taking pictures, signing autographs, sharing a story or two, a hug (if desired), and then you are off! The average meet and greet lasts a few minutes.
Anna and Elsa meeting guests in EPCOT
Each meet and greet is unique in its own way! You could be having a conversation with Anna and Elsa about losing Olaf’s nose and then catch yourself twirling and dancing with Snow White!
Most locations have either a character attendant or a Disney Photopass system to capture all your pictures with the princesses! Photopass cast members will be in a bright green outfit; they will take all your photos for you.

If you choose to have an autograph book, Disney princesses will sign their names so that you can take it with you when you leave. You’ll always be able to look back and remember meeting your favorite character!

Sometimes, young children can be a little intimidated by the characters; and have no fear. The princesses meet guests of all ages all day long.
