8 Things to Do for a Princess Themed Vacation at Disney World

Calling all Princesses! Are you headed to Disney and have a Princess in the family? Check out these eight things to do for a Princess Day or vacation at Disney that will be unforgettable!

1 – Royal Invitation

Every princess needs a Royal Invitation for a grand experience! We suggest you begin preparing for your Princess vacation right from the very start. What better way than to let your Princess know about your upcoming trip to Disney than with a Royal Invitation?! You don’t have to be fancy… but we can say every Princess enjoys glitter and royal colors! A simple written invitation personalized to your Princess will make her day.

2 – Princess Practice

Of course, your Princess doesn’t need to practice being a Princess, but why not have some fun preparing for your trip anyway? We suggest you and your Princess watch your favorite Disney Princess movies such as Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Princess and the Frog, the Little Mermaid…, and the list goes on. You may also want to catch up on Sofia the First episodes from the Disney Junior Channel. Princess practice can also include dancing with a Prince (such as a Dad, Grandpa, or a close friend) while listening to all your favorite Disney Princess songs!

3 – Royal Guest Rooms

Sorry, Cinderella’s Castle is likely booked. However, where better to stay for a Princess than a Royal Guest Room? Check out Port Orleans Riverside for their availability and pricing to stay in one of their Royal Guest Rooms. These rooms feature royal colors, decorative headboards and pillows, elegant furniture, canopy drapes, genie lamp faucets, magic carpet designs on the floor, and even pictures of all your Princess’s favorite Disney Princess friends. Your Princess will enjoy resting her sweet self for a little beauty sleep after a busy day at the park.

4 – Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Surely, you knew this was coming! The all-time Disney must-do for your Princess is an experience at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Offered at three locations (Disney Springs, Magic Kingdom Park, and Grand Floridian), these boutiques provide your Princess with the ultimate Princess transformation experience. This beauty salon offers several Princess packages for you to select from for your 3 to 12-year-old. Hair, dress, make-up, and/or nails – select a package that works best for the budget and your Princess. The fairy godmothers in training are ready to make your Princess’s dreams come true, then send them off with a little bit of fairy dust and a memory that will last a lifetime. While reservations are not required, we suggest you plan ahead and make reservations 60 days in advance by calling 407-939-7895. Several princesses are out there, and we wouldn’t want yours missing out on this experience due to a lack of reservations.

5 – Princess Attractions

Enchanted Tales with Belle at Magic Kingdom is one of our top Princess attractions. Join Belle and her enchanted friends for story time through a transformed space! Also, at Magic Kingdom, you’ll want to take a ride in a clamshell through Ariel’s Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid, soar like Princess Jasmine on the Magic Carpet of Aladdin, and even ride on the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel. If she’s a “brave” Princess (of course, like Princess Merida!), ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and be sure to spot Snow White dancing with her friends at the end of the ride. You’ll also want to catch Magic Kingdom’s Festival of Fantasy Parade and “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” stage show in front of Cinderella Castle to see several princesses. Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage at Hollywood Studios is one of our favorites; surely your Princess will love it! Schedule time for your Princess to chat with all her favorite Disney Princess friends! Magic Kingdom and Epcot have most of the Princess Meet and Greet options, so plan accordingly. And don’t forget about meeting the beautiful Moana at Epcot and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

6 – Princess Dining

Cinderella’s Royal Table is our top pick for the full experience of dining like a Princess! Located in Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, this dining experience is like no other at Disney. Being in the castle, meeting several princesses, and eating this royal food is incredible. Book your dining reservation as soon as possible, as Cinderella’s Royal Table fills up quickly! We also enjoy Akershus Royal Banquet Hall located in Norway at Epcot. This is a bountiful buffet, and of course, you are surrounded by princesses! These options are for your Princess to experience dining in a royal way!

7 – Princess Shopping

Wands, jewelry, shoes, dresses, tiaras, dolls… where does it all end? Well, it doesn’t! Every corner you turn at Disney, you’ll spot something your Princess would love to have. Check out Magic Kingdom gift shops for a large supply of Princess accessories and toys. Disney Springs is another great place to go shopping and get lost in what seems like miles of Disney Princess items! There is no shortage here – just remember, unfortunately, the Fairy Godmother doesn’t use her pixie dust to pay off that credit card when you return home! A unique Princess gift idea – Disney Princess Trading Pins. You’ll find several options for a Princess lanyard, and Princess pins at any location pins can be purchase. It’s just something besides the typical princess gear.

8 – Your Carriage Awaits

End an evening or even your Princess vacation with a horse-drawn carriage ride! Carriage rides are available at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside. Sit back, relax, and listen to the clomping of the beautiful horse’s hooves as you explore the sights. Princesses will love this experience, but this one is for the parents as well! And no worries, no carriages have turned back into pumpkins as far as we know.

We hope some of these Princess vacation opportunities inspire you to have a magical and charming time at Disney World!
