Where to Find Disney Princesses at Epcot
Can you imagine visiting Epcot and not knowing that many of the countries in the World Showcase have meet and greets with the Disney Princesses? It’s true. Several countries offer the opportunity to meet a Disney Princess at varying times throughout the day.
Below, we’ll discuss how to meet Disney Princesses at Epcot. As you plan your day, you’ll want to note the locations and times of the princesses that are important to your group. You can then incorporate them into your touring plan.
List of Disney Princesses at Epcot
Here is the list of Disney Princesses who meet at Epcot:
- Anna
- Elsa
- Mulan
- Snow White
- Belle
- Aurora
- Jasmine
As far as the World Showcase, a few other characters meet in select countries. For example, Donald Duck meets in the Mexico Pavilion. Alice and Winnie the Pooh meet in the United Kingdom Pavilion. Naturally, these three characters aren’t princesses, but you might include them when touring the World Showcase.
You can expect long waits, so you’ll want a good plan to meet the Disney Princesses at Epcot. It will take some time, but if you plan accordingly, you should be able to meet all of them in one afternoon.
Anna and Elsa
Most of the Disney Princesses meet at Epcot in the country related to their animated film. For example, Anna and Elsa meet in the Norway Pavilion. This dedicated character meet-and-greet is usually open daily between 9:15 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Since this is a dedicated meet-and-greet, you can get in line at any time while it’s open to meet the Frozen sister. They meet in Epcot’s Royal Sommerhus.
Anna and Elsa meet separately inside. First, you’ll meet Elsa, and then Anna.
Anna and Elsa sign autographs.
Given their popularity, the lines for this character’s meet-and-greet can get exceptionally long. We recommend meeting them as early as possible or later in the day. Wait times usually drop after 4:00 p.m. By that time, most other character meets in the World Showcase have ended for the day. So you’ll do better by getting this one out of the way early or saving it for later.
As for conversation, you might ask Elsa how Olaf is doing or anything about Arendelle. Of course, you probably already know that Anna loves to talk about Kristoff and Sven!

Mulan
Next, we’ll stop at the China Pavilion to meet Mulan, another popular Disney Princess. Don’t get me wrong. All the princess meet-and-greets are very popular. But a few seem to have a little extra wait occasionally. Mulan is one of them, and Epcot is the only place to meet her.
Mulan meets in the garden to the right of the replica of the Temple of Heaven. She is usually available from late morning to mid-afternoon during set times, which are listed in the My Disney Experience app. Like most characters, you’ll want to get in line before Mulan’s next scheduled time to secure a spot. It is not uncommon for her line to get cut off as soon as the next time begins.
You might check inside the temple if you don’t see her in the garden. We recently saw her meeting inside this area, which was much more pleasant than standing in direct sunlight.

Snow White
As we make our way around the World Showcase, we’ll stop at the Germany Pavilion to visit Snow White. This Disney Princess meets at her wishing well on the outskirts of the pavilion.
Snow White loves to daydream while she’s doing her chores. You might ask her about her friends, the Seven Dwarfs. They are probably busy at work somewhere. I hear they have a mine at Magic Kingdom. While we’re on the subject of talking points, I will warn you that apples are a sensitive topic with this Disney Princess.
Snow White meets intermittently throughout the day at Epcot. She is usually available from mid-morning until late afternoon. Her times are listed in the My Disney Experience app. A sign is usually posted with her next available time near the well.

Princess Jasmine
After Snow White, we’ll skip a few countries to the Morocco Pavilion. Jasmine from Aladdin meets toward the back of the pavilion inside Lamps of Wonder. Her line often extends well outside her meet-and-greet.
Jasmine loves to tell guests about her adventures with Aladdin on their magic carpet rides. She’ll probably talk about how it’s a whole new world. She might mention that you can take a spin on a magic carpet when you visit Agrabah, I mean Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom.
Jasmine meets intermittently between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and her times are listed in the app. She signs autographs, and a PhotoPass photographer is usually available at this location.

Jasmine meets by herself at Epcot. However, she meets with Aladdin at the Magic Kingdom.

Belle
Nearby, you’ll have the opportunity to meet two more Disney Princesses. First, we have Belle, our favorite bookworm. She meets in her village dress alongside the water in front of the France Pavilion.
Belle loves chatting about the weather, the great wide somewhere, and the Beast. Although bringing up Gaston might become a bone of contention, she doesn’t care for him.
Belle meets daily at Epcot near the water’s edge. She is pretty easy to see when she’s out, but expect a long line. If this meet-and-greet is important to you, you might get it out of the way sooner rather than later. She is exceptionally popular.

Princess Aurora
Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty also meets in the France Pavilion. Her meet-and-greet is at the gazebo toward the front right side of the pavilion. She meets in her pink dress, not the blue one.
Princess Aurora is the most lively of the Disney Princess meets at Epcot. She is always twirling and dancing, which is thrilling for the younger princesses who stop in to meet her!
Aurora enjoys talking about her fairy godmothers, Prince Phillip, and she loves dancing with her forest friends in the woods. You might not care to mention spindles, a finger prick, or the evil villain, Maleficient.

Please remember the importance of confirming the character meets in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit. If a character isn’t available on that specific day, their times will not show in the app.
How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App
- Open the MDE app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
- Select the “Characters” category at the top middle of the screen. (The default is “Wait Times”.)
- After selecting characters, use the park filter to select the park on the top left side of the screen.
- Then, on the top right side of the screen, select “Show List.”
- Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.
*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.
As the day passes, characters will disappear from the app as their last meet-and-greet time passes. Additionally, if a character has to leave early, Disney will pull their meet from the app. That is rare, but we have seen it happen.
Additionally, extenuating circumstances, like the weather, can prevent a character from meeting guests. If one of these meets is a priority, you might try to get it out of the way earlier in the day.
