Originally Posted By FerretAfros I don't think there is any place in DL that does just Princesses at meals. Goofy's Kitchen in the Dineyland Hotel and Storyteller's Cafe in the Grand Californian both have character meals, but it's pretty much random who you will get to see. There is also a breakfast at the Plaza Inn, which is hosted by Minnie and her friends, but I don't know who all her friends include. In Fantasyland, they recently opened the Princess Fantasy Faire, and part of it is the Disney Princess Royal Walk. Basically, there are 3 princesses who you can get your picture with. Unfortunately, they rotate out all day so you never know who you will get, and the line can be a little long at times. I'm sure if you ask there, they could tell you who they have at that moment, but that's no gurantee of who will be there by the time you get to the front of the line. Also, try asking at City Hall on Main Street when you get there, and they will be able to let you know when she will be out. If you explain your situation, they might even be able to arrange a special meeting, but I don't know that for sure. And, if all else fails, Snow White is part of the princess float at the end of the Parade of Dreams that is performed pretty much every day all year.

Given that she has the little grotto area, it wouldn't surprise me if she made regular appearances there (be sure to check over to the side when you pass by, as they might be a little hidden).
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains The princesses are in Ariels Grotto - Depending on when they will be there they can have lunch or dinner. The way it works is you when you are seated you go down the stairs and meet Ariel for a picture - you then go to your table and after they take your drink order the princesses come out to each table one at a time - It is best if seated at a booth to have the child or children on the edges so they can easily get up and pose with the princesses. Also you can check with the Princess Fantasy Faire and find out when Snow White might be reading a story and plan to be there for that. I am sure if your friends contacted Vacation Planning or even the Guest Services and explained about their daughter DL would make sure it was a special experience...

The idea of the fantasy faire was nice - but we miss seeing the princesses walking near the castle...

Originally Posted By NJ AP gottaluv ... me too. The princesses roaming around the castle made DisneyLand feel special. The princesses penned up in the fantasy faire make DisneyLand feel like Disney World. Just not the same.

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Yeah, Ariel's Grotto is definitely her best bet. I would call to make a PS and mention the child's illness when they take the booking. They might make the experience a bit more special for her.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Yesterday I saw a bunch of princesses out in front of the Main Street Train Station (on the side with the main park entrance). They were sitting in a circle with a bunch of kids talking about something. Then they all stood up and did "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes". I left after that, but it seemed like a cute thing to do with kids. I think it was Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora. It wa great getting to see the interaction, but Belle glared at us and told us that we could get pictures with them later in the PFF area. I guess she didn't realize that we were taking pictures of the activity and intereaction, not the princesses themselves.
