Disney princesses

[britchic4]

Since my DD is only 2 I'm rather new to the whole Disney Princess scene, but she is into it with a vengeance! We are off to DLRP next week, and weren't going to go to Auberge de Cendrillon since DH decided he didn't want any of the main courses on the set menu (he hates mushrooms with a passion!). However, DD is now asking about every 5 minutes when she is going to meet the princesses so I'm having to rethink.

Is there anywhere else to meet the princesses, preferably without too much of a scrum?

Does anyone know if restaurants are amenable to preparing dishes slightly different to the set menu (ie without mushrooms)?

DS is 6 and decidedly NOT into Disney Princess. Is he likely to hate Auberge de Cendrillon?!

Lastly DD's favourite is Aurora. Does she ever hang about outside Sleeping Beauty's castle?

You can meet the princesses by the castle, on the stage. Cant remember the name of the stage but when i went we saw snow white & Belle and the line to meet them was civilised
Hope that helps

Thankyou, that helps a lot! I'm sure she would love to see Belle and Snow White. Do you know if there is a timetable or they just turn up any time?

we met Ariel, Cinderella and Belle on the stage thing....was about 10ish ..this was in January, then at 11ish they were in the castle...got photos of that too...

The queueing system at the stage was so much better than in the castle. And on the stage you get a professional photo taken (extra cost) or of course you can still take your own photos plus at the stage you don't have people behind the photo so it looks abit better. We met Cinderella upstairs in the Castle and that was a good queue aswell and the glass windows behind her made a nice photo but downstairs was a free for all!!

Excellent! Sounds like we could definitely see some of them - although Aurora might be scarce!

During the parade the Prince/Princesses come down from their float and dance and do go over to talk/greet children, you have to stand in specific areas to catch it.
Given the attention span of a 2 year old I'm sure she'd be quite happy with this (my 5 year old niece was absolutely transfixed by it) together with the meet n' greets.

My DS at 6 would've hated the Auberge meal, in fact having 2 boys meant I missed the whole princess thing, it was all cowboys and pirates for us, now however, I have my niece to do girly things with. If we were going as a treat for her then they'd put up with it, probably spend the whole time playing with their DS's though and as the menu is at the moment, it would be a complete waste of money for us.

no no no sorry I forgot to mention her we got her photo too....she was wearing her blue dress...and on the float she was wearing her pink one...

THELITTLEMERMAID83, yeah Cinderella walked straight past everyone and walked up the stairs my avatar is the photo we got (plus another load cause I'm sad)!!

When I was there in June 2007, the Princesses could be found daily on the satge next to the Castle. They rotated about every 30 minutes - first there were two princesses, then they were replaced by two other princesses, and then the original two came back, and so on. They were usually accompanied by their prince (Belle was not with the Beast). We asked at the City Hall, and they were able to tell us who would be in the rotation that day. The queue was orderly, but could get quite long during the morning. I think we waited over an hour.

We did see Aurora, in her blue dress.

All excellent news, although I might have to prepare Freya for Aurora being in a blue dress not a pink one She thinks in no uncertain terms that blue is Cinderella FULL STOP!

It's funny that because of all the marketing of Aurora in a pink dress, I didn't remember until I watched the movie again, that her dress was blue most of the time (since the two fairies couldn't agree on what color to make it and kept changing it).

As mentioned, she was in pink for the parade:

You are right of course, and at one point it was both blue and pink!
Even at 2 though (well, nearly 3), my daughter is a pink girl through and through. This morning she informed me she couldn't wear a particular dress because it had red on it and 'I don't like red mummy I only like pink'.
