Pls help a mom of boys plan a trip for princess loving nieces!

[mrs.ariel]

Hi,
I've been to DL a lot and I have always been the planner. But I have 2 boys who are not interested AT ALL in the princesses.
So, now I am planning a trip with my sister and her 2 daughters and I want to make sure they know all the opportunities to see and meet the princesses!

We are going 12/3-12/6.

They will be doing 1 breakfast (or lunch) at AG.
When should they plan to run for FP to meet Elsa and Anna?
What about the princess place in DL or pixie hollow? When is the best time for that?

The girls do NOT like their hair brushed or done, so BBB is out.
Anything else I am missing for them?
Thx!

For Anna and Elsa meet and greet I would get there as early as possible that day to get your fastpasses - consider doing that on the Thurday or Friday of your visit there maybe slightly fewer people than on the weekend.

Even if they don't want the BBB makeover - still visit the BBB storefront for a look - look up high they have lots of cute theming the tiaras, jewels, mice from Cinderella. Obviously they have the princess dresses but also little animals such as Pascal from Tangled and lots of cute little bracelets etc.

Visit the Royale Theatre for a skit - I believe it has changed over to only Frozen now - a shame because we got to see both Beauty and the Beast and Tangled last year. Some Princesses will meet just opposite the Royale Theatre there under a tree/umbrella - there we met Merida, Aurora & Belle. Tiana is usually around New Orleans Square - we saw her at the top of the steps just opposite Café Orleans. The Princesses in Fantasy Faire can alter but the ones we met there were Snow White, Cinderella and Ariel.

Keep an eye out as you pass through the gates sometimes a princess is out the front there.

We also met Alice in Wonderland on the pathway to the right of the castle near the wishing well. Alice and the Mad-hatter also play musical chairs at Coke Corner ask the piano player what time it is scheduled for that day.

Not sure of time for Pixie Hollow - I do know we had to try a couple of times - the first few it was closed I think. Sorry can't be more helpful with times here but persevere it is definitely worth a visit. Make sure to look closely for the fairy theming when you are in line there are little boats in the ponds and little statues in the garden.

Hope the girls have fun.

Thanks for the tips! I know they will have a blast, no matter what! It's their first visit so they won't know what they're missing if they don't see all the princesses, but I'll do my best to find them!!

There's no need to run for the A&E anymore. They are now in the Animation Bldg in DCA and the FPs last deep into the afternoon. Even if you get there mid-morning your return time will be before lunch. They may also enjoy the Frozen sing-a-long that is just across the way. There is also the A&E Boutique in DTD, which does makeovers but also has everything Frozen that you can imagine! Make time to get a good viewing spot for Paint the Night parade, the princesses are beautifully lit and the Frozen float is breathtaking!
