Where Can I Meet Cinderella?

Written by Dustin Baier in Disney World

Let’s be honest, everyone wants to see Cinderella. She is one of the most iconic Disney Princess because she has been around forever and gets victory over the evil stepmother. She has multiple cartoon movies as well as the live aaction movie so chances are most of the kiddos want to meet her. That’s why Disney opened a long time ago an attraction just for her. However, not everyone knows where she is. So, here’s the answer to the famous question: Where Can I Meet Cinderella?

Cinderella is signing autographs and taking pictures with Disney guests at Fantasyland’s Princess Fairytale Hall in the Magic Kingdom Park from 8 AM to 8:30 PM, but she is there from 7 AM to 8 AM for those who prefer to use their Extra Magic Hours. However, it is always recommended to look at Disney World’s Time Guide for more specific timing information.

Keep in mind that Cinderella’s meet-and-greet is one of the most demanded attractions in the whole park, so it is important to be early enough or use a FastPass+. Otherwise, we need to manage the kid’s expectations and tell them you will see Cinderella, rather than meeting her. That way we can avoid the inevitable meltdowns later in the day.

Where else can you meet Cinderella?

If Cinderella’s meet-and-greet attraction has too much line and you don’t want to make the line or you simply are looking for a different place where you can meet her, here are a couple of places where you can find the princess.

Cinderella’s Royal Table at the Magic Kingdom Park

If you think meeting Cinderella is amazing, you have to try having a meal at Cinderella’s Royal Table in her castle. You will taste the magical flavors worthy of a princess and experience firsthand how royalty dines.

But that’s not all! You’ll also have a private meet-and-greet with Cinderella and other 3 or 4 princesses who go from table to table, taking a little time with each, to enhance the entire experience. Of course, she won’t spend as much time with you as the regular attraction but you can ask her for an autograph and even to take a picture with you all.

Now, keep in mind that it is important to make reservations in advance and they get sold out pretty fast. Try to schedule 5 or 6 months in advance to make sure you’ll get a sit and live this incredible experience. Also, this event requires pre-payment at the booking time unless you booked a reservation package that includes this item and can get a little pricey

Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

Even though this experience doesn’t provide the same hype as dining in Cinderella’s Castle, this incredible dinner offers a similar methodology in which you’ll get outstanding food while meeting some of the most famous Disneyverse characters, like Cinderella -of course-, Prince Charming, Drizella, Lady Tremaine and others.

All of them go from one table to the other to meet guests, sign autographs and pose for pictures. However, the main difference lies in the fact that you will be in the dining room of the Grand Floridian.

Even though it is not the same experience as Cinderella’s Castle, it is still pretty popular. So, it is important to make reservations in advance to avoid losing the opportunity. The good thing is that it won’t take 6 months in advance, though.

You will also have the opportunity to see Cinderella in the lobby’s marble floor of the resort. It is not the same as meeting the princess but it is nice to see the attention to detail that this place has.

Princess Storybook Dining at Epcot

If you made reservations at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall and you are lucky enough, you might go on a day where Cinderella is present. It is important to stress that she is not one of the regular princesses you will meet in this location, but she occasionally appears to take pictures, sign autographs and meet guests.

To prevent distress tears in your children’s face, the best you can do is warn them that Cinderella may not be there. Also, try to make reservations in advance because all the dining places in Disney World are pretty full all the time.

Where can you see Cinderella?

In case of emergency, looking for spots where you can catch a glimpse of Cinderella’maybe good enough. If you are interested, here are a few places where you can show her to your kids.

Festival of Fantasy Parade’s Princess Garden Float at the Magic Kingdom

Formerly known as Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade or Disney’s Dreams Come True Parade, this renovated version features Cinderella, Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother in the 12-minute parade’s fifth unit, which is called Happily Ever After.

If you are interested in taking a peek, it is presented every day around 2 PM at Magic Kingdom Park. However, always check the Time Guide because the timing may change according to several factors.

Main Street Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom

The 20-minute event features 4 units based on Cinderella’s story. She will be in the first one with her Fairy Godmother. You may not be able to ask her for an autograph, but the whole thing is so beautiful that it is worth it. This parade takes place almost every evening but makes sure it is scheduled in the Time Guide whenever you go.

Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Cinderella also has a short part in the Fantasmic! show in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You can see her in the bubble montage when different Princesses appear. The 30-minute show is presented every day usually at 8 PM, but it may change depending on weather factors or other important circumstances.

Where can you see Cinderella’s art?

There are lots of Cinderalla themed art around Disney World. If you love art or just all things Cinderella then here are the specific locations you have to go:

Cinderella’s Fountain at the Magic Kingdom

Located in Fantasyland, this incredible fountain has a depicting of the Princess surrounded by mice before she was even a princess. It is very cute and your little Cinderella fans will appreciate it.

Emporium at the Magic Kingdom

If you want to see windows displaying Prince Charming and Cinderella dancing at the legendary ball while the clock is striking midnight, you should head to this place on Main Street USA. It will leave you speechless.

World of Disney Store at Disney Springs

This store is not only full of her theme merchandise but you’ll also get to see her incredible picture in one of the doors. Also, you can see that the entire store has banners of princesses everywhere, including Cinderella.

Castle Couture Shop at the Magic Kingdom

This store located in Fantasyland stores the Princess’ wedding dress and the original pink gown that birds and mice did for her to go to the ball. Certainly, it is not a picture of Cinderella, but your kids will love the costume. Besides, you’ll get a small portion of pixie dust!

What are some other Disney attractions inspired by Cinderella?

If you didn’t get to meet or see her, another incredible option can be making her feel like Cinderella. There are different and magical attractions based on her story and character that your children will love.

Dress up a Cinderella at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Here is the place where children enter as kids and go out as Princesses or Princes. If you didn’t get it from the name, the idea is based on a complete magical makeover that Fairy Godmothers in Training do to whoever enters the Boutique.

It is important to keep in mind that this place is incredibly demanded, almost as much as a table in Cinderella’s Royal Table. So you can either book in advance or be there as soon as you can to enter your name on the waiting list.

You can visit the Bibbidi Bobbidu Boutique at Magic Kingdom or Disney Springs if the Magic Kingdom one is too busy.

Tri-Circle D-Ranch at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground

This is one of the longest-standing Disney resorts and, honestly, one of the most affordable options near the Magic Kingdom. As it is pretty rustic with space for RVs, tents, and cabins, this is the place where Cinderella keeps her little white ponies. Also, they are on display for free and no admission is required.

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort

This is one of the few hotels that deliver royal guest rooms and treatment. If you want to make your little ones feel like a Princess, this is the ultimate place to do so. Their themed rooms have touches of crystal and gold everywhere, just like in the movie. Besides, you’ll get to see lots of places where Cinderella is displayed.

Cinderella’s Carriage

What would make anyone feel more like Cinderella than the carriage the Fairy Godmother magically did for her to go to the ball in the film? Nothing! Well, it turns out that the vehicle is parked on Streets of America and it is just waiting for you to take unique photos.

As you can see Cinderella is one of the most prominent Disney Princesses and there are many options to meet and see her available all throughout the entire Disney World experience.
