Nothing says “Disney” quite like a princess! While Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom is sort of the Disney princess headquarters, there are actually a LOT of other places you can meet Disney royalty! But, for the sake of efficiency (and maximum excitement), what if you want to meet ALL the princesses at once?
Currently, if you want to see multiple princesses in one convenient location, you can do so in a couple different ways. As you’ll quickly find out, though, there’s one option that has a major advantage, because it’s FREE (besides the cost of a park ticket, of course)! We love free!
Before we get to the big reveal, let’s discuss a few other places you can meet the princesses in the Magic Kingdom.
Princess Fairytale Hall
First, there’s Princess Fairytale Hall. This character meet and greet is located in Fantasyland, and it’s great for personal, one-on-one interactions.
The downside? You can only meet two princesses at a time in Princess Fairytale Hall, and you don’t always know which princesses will be visiting for the day! Another disadvantage? You’ll have to wait in a standby line first! Typically, the wait time is relatively low, but you never know when the line could fill up!

A Royal Princess Processional (AKA the Princess Cavalcade)
This option has a few pros and cons. While this is one of the few ways that you can see all the princesses at once, they’re sort of far away!
Not only that, but it can be hard to have a personal interaction with the princesses when they’re riding by on a parade float. If you have a princess-lover in your family who wants to say hello to the princesses, this isn’t the best option.
That said, it is still pretty fun seeing them all ride by — sometimes there’s even a princess riding a horse! You can check the showtimes on the My Disney Experience app; just search “A royal princess processional” and it will come up!
The Festival of Fantasy Parade is returning soon, too!
Cinderella’s Royal Table
At Cinderella’s Royal Table (which is located INSIDE Cinderella Castle), you can meet a variety of princesses while you eat! Currently, the dining experience is a little different, so you might not be able to see as many princesses as you could before the pandemic.
By the way, this option is EXPENSIVE! You’re paying to eat inside the castle, and that entrance fee is STEEP! So, you may ask, “What’s the alternative?”
Now, on to the spot we promised!!
Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station
We’ve got a hot tip for you: don’t go to Fantasyland, don’t wait around the Castle hub for a parade, go to the train station at the front of the park! A LARGE variety of Disney characters hang out up by the train station to wave hello to guests, including the princesses!
Now, after you stand in front of the train station for a polite “hello,” walk over to the right-hand side of the train station by the stairs. When the princesses are done with their royal greetings, they will exit to the right, providing the perfect opportunity for a more personal interaction!
Typically, Cast Members will set up a temporary rope that leads the princesses behind Main Street, so look for that little white rope and stand behind it! As you can see, you’ll be able to get pretty close to the princesses…almost ALL the princesses!

Do you know if they ever post a schedule or times they do this? Is it usually after the calvacades?
CC says
Are the princesses still walking down the train station stairs? I hadn’t heard about this happening lately, so wanted to check if this was up to date. Thanks!
DFB Gigi says

Is there a set time they do this each day?

Hi Megan,
Thanks so much for reaching out! Usually you can see the Princesses come down the train station stairs in the morning.
