The Fairy Godmother plays a vital role in Disney’s animated film Cinderella. She is responsible for helping Cinderella attend the royal ball, giving her a dazzling look right down to a pair of glass slippers. The Fairy Godmother formerly had a regular meet-and-greet at Walt Disney World. She used to meet a couple of days per week (pre-pandemic) in Fantasyland near the castle wall. Unfortunately, she never returned to that location when traditional meet-and-greets were reinstated in the parks. These days, the only time we see the Fairy Godmother is during the holiday season. Below, we’ll preview a few photos and discuss where you might find her.

Movies to Watch Before Your Disney World Vacation:

• Cinderella (1950 animated film)
• Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002 animated film)
• Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (2003 live-action)
• Cinderella III: A Twist on Time (2007 animated film)
• Cinderella (2015 live-action)

Does the Fairy Godmother have a regular meet-and-greet at Walt Disney World? No, she has not met in the parks since early 2020.

Where can we find her? If you have the chance to see Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, you might see her riding on the princess float.

*The Christmas Parade is held during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and is offered to guests of Magic Kingdom the week between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. (Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade 2023 Version)
