Each with a visiting princess at Princess Fairytale Hall (If anyone is interested).

My girls love the princesses. Who are the rumored visiting princesses?
 
Rumor is either back to snow and aurora or one of them + Tiana since logistically she can't stay at the gazebo but take that with a GoS as it could just be randomly random
 

I'd love to know this as well. Not sure which we want to get a FP for. Knowing their likely friend may help my daughter decide. If it is Snow and Aurora who meets with whom?
 
Snow and Aurora make the most sense - now that they're off the stage show, opportunities to see them are limited.
 
It's been 2 years since we were there, but is Aurora no longer in Epcot?

I don't think she's there any longer. I think she was cut early this year. She was still there in October. It makes me sad to think she's no longer there... She was the first princess my daughter met on our February 2014 trip when my LO was only 2.5. She tripped and fell and Aurora was so sweet to her making sure she was ok, got down on eye level with her. I think about that every time we walk by that section of France.

Oh man, she'd better be somewhere or my oldest will throw a stinking fit. They've gotten rid of Marie already. Those are her two favorites!

Why do you say Tiana can't continue meeting at the gazebo? I know she has met in PFH (both alone and with Naveen) before, but the area can't really be used for anything other than a M&G at this point, so it would end up just being empty space if they left.
 
I personally think the princesses are going to be Snow White and Aurora since I think*(not sure) they are the only princesses without permanent meeting spots (I'm not sure if they still meet at Epcot, it's been awhile since I've had a WDW vacation:P) If not then it could be Belle too in her gold dress since I think since only meets in her blue smock in WDW. Either way, yay for more princesses princess::tink:

I hate to be like this but more than likely it won't be Belle because she's already meeting across the street at Enchanted Tales in her gold dress

Oh right I forgot about that :Palthough, I thought she didn't take pictures or did they change that (again sorry I've been Disney cruising lately and not totally up to date on meet and greets). Then it's probably going to be Snow and Aurora, which is nice cause they are really underrated princesses sometimes.

You have to participate in the show, they usually do ask once all the parts are taken up if you want to be an extra spoon or plate. This was back in 2014 though (the very last time I was there :(). Lucky you with the cruises!

Logistically if Tiana were to stay at the gazebo her meet times would drastically be cut cause you can't see her in Liberty Square only to walk over by the castle and seeing her onstage in the new show

They managed it with Snow, Aurora, and Peter Pan meeting outside, I don't see why they can't manage it with Tiana.

Looking at her current meeting times:
930-1015
1030-1115
140-215
230-3
330-415

515-545
6-645
7-745
8-845
9-935

If the schedule is similar to DAWM with performances (10:35-10:55, 11:40-12, 1:10-1:30, 2:05-2:25, and 4:20-4:40)

It only interferes with 1 set. They obviously have no problem with her meeting right to the start of the next event (the set that goes right to 3, when FoF begins just down the road)

Based on past experience, her line is always pretty short in the early morning. Having 1 set missing wouldn't have a major impact on meet times for the rest of the day.

The only times I can truly see it causing problems is on the days that they have late showings. It seemed to be seasonally that shows were after dark, but those would interfere with the meets that Naveen is in as well. Considering how popular the meets with Naveen are, it seems strange that they would cut his meets at all.


It is possible that they would move Tiana inside. As I said, she has met in there before (not sure if that was before Anna and Elsa moved in though or if she was maybe just a surprise) and Naveen has met with her in there. It's also possible they will cut Naveen entirely and give him a Charming role where he appears in parades and special events only.

But if they move Tiana, then that leaves 1 open space in PFTH. Do they move Snow (who currently meets in a not-so-great location at the theater exit on main street) or Aurora (who doesn't have a meeting spot of her own anymore, and hops between Fantasyland and Main Street depending on the season). Or do they move all 3, and create a Disneyland style PFH where it's always a surprise who will be there? But then you have the issue where Aurora currently only meets in MK, and what happens on days when Snow and Tiana are the guest princesses? WDW guests aren't as forgiving when it comes to princesses not being available as DLR guests are. The biggest problem with our PFTH is that it's only designed to have 2 meeting spaces, where DLR allows for more. They can't easily add an extra princess unless you want several of them meeting for the same photo.

And then we have the issue of Elena of Avalor joining in August. Where does a Disney Jr princess inspired by South American cultures fit in MK? She is bound to be popular in the beginning if only for her newness. Do they move her into Merida's spot (which consistently has a 40+ minute wait throughout the day) and have Merida join the PFH lineup (which would then have 6 princesses in 4 slots), or do they leave Merida, and put Elena on Main Street where Aurora used to meet (an area that would definitely need some new theming for her). Add in the fact that Elena is going to have some sort of show (based on disneyauditions.com) for at least the first few months which would impact her schedule as well.


All this to say, I don't think the logistics of having Tiana continue to meet in her glen are all that challenging, especially compared to the logistics of moving princesses to new spots while also adding a new one in the coming months.
 
So, management did not listen to my well reasoned argument as to why Tiana and Naveen should stay in her glen. Tiana will begin meeting in Fairytale Hall and Naveen will indeed be relegated to a Charming status where he appears in the parade and stage show only

Is this confirmed? And where is the source for this? Only asking out of curiosity
