I assume the May Pole type dance doesn't happen anymore, right? What Princesses are there (I know they trade in and out, just wondering who they are?) Is Tiana ever there? Are Aladdin and Jasmine still in Adventureland? Thank you SO much for any information or thoughts

The greeting pathway usually features 3 Disney Princesses at any given time, including some of the following favorites: Snow White Cinderella Aurora Mulan Belle Pocahontas Jasmine Tiana Ariel

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Glad my daughter is pretty much over the princess meet and greets. Well, only when it means I don't have to wait in lines for Princesses anymore, I'd like to keep her little for a lot longer though
Originally Posted By DBitz2 Yes, the Princess Fantasy Faire in the Fantasyland Theater closed a few weeks ago. There is now a "Princess Walk" on the upper parade viewing deck along Small World Mall. You can't miss it as you approach IASW. I think most of the princesses that CC listed above are still in the rotation, but, not necessarily every day. I have not seen Pocahontas, so unsure about her. I have seen Tiana there. As of this writing, there is no entertainment, just the line for meet and greet. The Merida meet and greet is nearby in the same area. They still have some of the games and activities with that. The Tangled meet and greet is still in the same location where it has been. You may occasionally find a princess over by the Snow White Wishing Well by the Castle. Pixie Hollow has had a "climate change" with a winter overlay in connection with the latest Tinkerbelle movie and the "sister" character from that movie has been added.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Thank you all so much, the information is greatly appreciated If I'm imagining the area correctly she'd be able to see what Princesses she'd be visiting. If her grandaughter isn't interested in those particular Princesses would the CM at the beginning of the lineup have a schedule? OH.....I'd better warn her about the whole autograph thing.

I was in a different character line earlier this year during the Lunar New Year Celebration to get a photo with Mulan and Mushu and they left literally right when I was the next one up. The CM's might be able to tell you which princesses will be up at a certain time. But, even if they do, it's a gamble if they'll be there when you get there.
