The Princess Pavilion at Disneyland Paris: Meeting a Princess and What to Expect
Seeing a Princess at Disneyland is one of the most exciting things for young kids to experience. It was something I loved when would visit Walt Disney World as a little kid and now its one of my toddlers favorite things to do every time we go!
We visited Disneyland Paris for the first time last summer and loved every minute of it! It was fun to see our favorite characters and classic rides. Even better was experiencing new rides, shows, and yummy food! My daughter could not wait to meet a princess at the princess pavilion. They mystery of which princess would be there added to the excitement!
Disneyland Paris does not disappoint when it comes to meeting a Princess at the Princess Pavilion in Fantasyland. Here is everything you need to know to meet a princess and make the most of your time while at the park!

What happens at the Princess Pavilion at Disneyland Paris?
The Princess Pavilion is an indoor meet and greet with one of the Disney Princesses! Unlike other character meet and greets, you can’t see the princess while standing in line. They are in a private room which keeps the princess a surprise until it is your turn.
Which Princess will I meet?
UPDATE: With the new Virtual Queue, you might be able to pick which princess you meet!
Listed on the Disneyland Paris site, are Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora, and Belle. We got to meet Belle!
Where is the Princess Pavilion in Disneyland Paris?
The Princess Pavilion is located in Fantasyland. This is actually perfect because when you get the notification from your app that your time is soon, you can head to Fantasyland and kill some time with the small rides nearby. Super close by is Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups, Dumbo, and Le Carrousel de Lancelot.
The Best Time to Get in Line
UPDATE: The Princess Pavilion now has a Virtual Queue which you enter using your mobile app when you are in the park!
The best time to get in line for the Princess Pavilion is as soon as the Disneyland Park Opens. This meet and greet is a hot commodity and maybe one of the longest lines in the park! I think the Virtual Queue was a great way to combat this.
Pack lighter by renting baby gear at your destination using:
BabyQuip
No more lugging car seats and strollers through a crowded airport! BabyQuip can be found worldwide.
What Time Does it Open?
The Princess Pavilion opens after park open, usually at 10am though this may vary depending on the time of year.
Get in the Virtual Queue as soon as you are able!
The Longest Line Ever
UPDATE: The Princess Pavilion now has a Virtual Queue which you enter using your mobile app when you are in the park!
After the Princess Pavilion opens the line almost never drops below 80 minutes and is typically 90-120 minutes throughout the day! This is why I recommend getting in the Virtual Queue ASAP.

Is the Princess Pavilion worth the wait?
Absolutely! That is, if you love princesses or have kids who love princesses. Meeting the surprise princess in a private room, without the ability to see the people behind you waiting, is a unique and exclusive experience.
Belle gave my toddler such focused attention. They talked and even twirled their dresses together. My toddler still talks about meeting Belle in her yellow dress.
This focused attention is what makes the wait so long. There is a separate accessibility line which I think also adds to the wait time.
Can I get get a Fast Pass/Premier Access Pass?
There is no Premier Access lane for this meet and greet but there is now a virtual queue! Click here for more information on virtual queues at Disneyland Paris.
Can I Meet a Princess Anywhere Else at Disneyland Paris?
Yes! Different princesses may pop up randomly in park from time to time. You can always check your app for any characters that are available that day.
You can also do a Princess Character Dining at La Table de Lumière, Auberge de Cendrillon, and soon at The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge which is opening March 2026!
Conclusion: The Princess Pavilion at Disneyland Paris
The Princess Pavilion at Disneyland Paris was one of the best princess meet and greets I’ve ever experienced. I also feel Disneyland Paris in general has a more laid-back feel than Walt Disney World which makes every experience there more calming and easygoing.
