ORWEN: A good friend of ours who is a cast member at the Magic Kingdom told us that both Snow White and Aurora have been evicted from the new Princess Fairytale Hall and are back to doing their meetings and greetings on the mean streets of Main and Center. ORDDU: Princess Aurora had been greeting guests in the little garden area next to City Hall before the Fairytale Hall was completed. Now--after all the anxious waiting for a newer, nicer area to greet guests that was climate controlled, the pour princess is back where she used to be, having to deal with the summer heat and the winter cold. ORWEN: And Snow White is going to be found at Center Street instead of inside Fantasyland. What a way to treat Uncle Walt's original princess!! ORDDU: When Elsa recently overheard Aurora and Snow White complaining to Disney Management about this insulting behavior toward them, she reportedly sneered at the two other princesses and sarcastically remarked, "Let it go, girls! Just let it go!! ORWEN: (sigh) So it goes to show that the princesses who get the best treatment are the one's who make the most money for the company. It's such a hard knock life for them. Where's the fantasy? Where's the love? ORDDU: Actually, I don't see why Aurora and Snow White can't remain inside Fairytale Hall while Anna and Elsa do their meeting and greeting inside the same building where Mickey Mouse and Tinker Bell do their meetings and greetings. A witch would think there would be enough room in there for them. ORWEN: But nobody asked us. ORGOCH: Got violins???

Unless maybe they're planning to split up the sisters and have them stand in separate spots. Otherwise there would still be room for at least one other princess in the same room with them. Cinderella and Rapunzel will continue to be meeting and greeting in the same room where they were recently assigned, for those who want to know.

Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: From what I've been reading, recently, Disneyland has also been playing games with their princesses, as well. When in California, Princess Aurora no longer meets inside Fairytale Hall, either, but has been evicted out into the cold, cruel world near Snnow White's wishing well. Merida has been moved into the Fairytale Hall, since her former location was taken away. Who knows why they do these things? ORGOCH: I can tell ya why! It's a cat fight between all them prissy princesses!! Soon as one claims ta be 'fairest of 'em all' the others wanna' claim THEY'S the purdiest one!! An' if'n one gits a new dress, the others want one, too! Talk 'bout yer high maintenance women!!!

She just toils endlessly away in the Land of Prydain, constantly trying to avoid the advances made upon her by the Horned King...and the cauldron born...and Gurgi...

Where else would you expect an animated Disney witch to live? You all live in a fantasy world, yourselves or you wouldn't be here so much of the time! And that goes DOUBLE for a certain nasty old biddy who only wastes her time dreaming about the next big bull frog she can catch!! So don't act so high and mighty, sister!! Your fantasies are the most gross ideas anybody ever heard of!!!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I believe that Aurora was moved, in part, to reduce staffing. PFH has 2 rooms per side with continuous sets; on Main Street, there is only one location and intermittent sets, while Aurora and Snow White take breaks to take a nap (as they're both so fond of doing at inconvenient times). That means that they only need a quarter or a third of the labor force to keep the location running, compared to PFH Additionally, separating Anna and Elsa may help move the queue along. Since the princesses are only interacting with the guests, and not each other, they may spend less time with each group. Consequently, since they now get 2 separate interactions with the Frozen gals, guests will probably get more total time with them, so it's sort of a win-win I'm still surprised that they couldn't find a way to have Snow White meet by the new Mine Train. It seems like a perfect fit, but perhaps they wanted to keep her somewhere where she's a little more hidden so that the queues are manageable. I've heard that she's occasionally been hanging out with Dopey on Main Street, so I guess it's not all bad (though still an odd spot for them) >>An' if'n one gits a new dress, the others want one, too!<< Well, they all got new dresses about a year ago, but apparently there was some sort of problem with cleaning Aurora's dress so she's reverted back to her old one. She's really getting the short end of the deal right now! And I really feel bad for Eilonwy, Tiger Lily, and Kida. They're all princesses too, but nobody ever seems to remember them
