Not familiar with all the princesses!

[maslex]

I'm trying to help my brother plan his first trip to Disney with his family. He has 2 boys (ages 11 and 13) and one girl age 5. I only have boys, so I've never had to deal with the princesses. He would probably like to do one princess related dinner. Would you suggest Cinderellas Royal Table or the one in Norway at Epcot? (and would you suggest breakfast or dinner)

And where's the best places to find the different princesses at the parks. She also told my brother that she wants to see Elsa and Ana from Frozen? I haven't even seen the movie yet, so I don't know who they are. Are they at the parks? And her favorite is Ariel and Tianna.

Any suggestions?

Elsa and Anna are located in Epcot. We prefer the princess breakfast at Epcot over Royal Table. Both, however, will not disappoint the young ones.

I recommend watching the movies before you go, just so you know who they are when you go see them. I know that Jasmine and Mulan appear in Epcot, because I met them both there before; Jasmine in Morocco and Mulan in China.

Both Princess meals are great and sure to impress. Elsa and Anna meet in the Norway pavilion at EPCOT, and they are EXTREMELY popular right now (like, as soon as EPCOT opens at 9 people start lining up for the first greeting at 11 when World Showcase opens), and lines are sure to continue to be very long for months to come. So for that reason, I'd suggest getting a reservation at Akershus pre-park opening, and when one of you finishes, you can head out into the pavilion and stake out a spot in the line once the park opens and they start the lines. At least, I've read about people doing this in the past couple of months that the sisters have been there. Both Akershus and Cinderella's Royal Table have a 'varying' set of princesses. Cinderella does always greet at CRT as you come in for your meal, and I think at Akershus it's Belle greeting at the front. At Akershus it's usually Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, and Ariel, though it does sometimes change. At CRT, I believe it's usually 4 of the following: Snow White, Belle, Ariel, Aurora and Jasmine who come around to the tables.

As for the two favorites, if you don't catch Ariel at the princess meal, she meets at Ariel's Grotto in MK, in mermaid form. Tiana meets in a gazebo in Liberty Square, near the Christmas shop and the bridge towards the entrance to Adventureland.

This site has a pretty good run-down of where to find the princesses, both meet and greets and other attractions and shows: http://www.*********************.com/disneyprincesses.php (ETA: don't know if that link will work since it got partly starred out, but if you go to the Build a Better Mouse Trip site, there's a link on the left hand side titled Disney Princesses that should take you to the right place.)
