Rhiannon: Many little girls dream about fairy tales. Today, Juli shows us how any girl can be turned into a princess when she goes to Disneyworld.
Juli: Disney Princesses are a favorite of many girls, right?
Children: Yeah.
Juli: And when you come to Disney World you’re going to want to feel like a princess, right?
Children: Yeah.
Juli: And there are so many opportunities to do that from meals with the characters to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. We cannot wait for that.
I’m here with Jessica Hartshorn from American Baby Magazine and our daughters, Grace and Daniela. And they’re going to have the chance later to be transformed into princesses. But first they are going to be interviewing some of their favorite princesses to find out, to find out, what’s it like to be royalty? Are you ready?
Children: Yeah.
Juli: If you don’t want to spend all day searching for your kid’s favorite character you can go to a certain spot where they hang out. Like this is one, right?
Jessica: Right, if your daughter loves Ariel, this is where she lives, Ariel’s Grotto. It’s a fairly long line to meet Ariel but your kids can play in this awesome playground while you wait in line and when you get closer to the mermaid you call them over.
Juli: Belle is my daughter’s favorite, show me show me. Will you show me where we can find her?
Jessica: Yeah, it’s a story time here.
Juli: Alright, let’s go.
Jessica: So here we are. Story time with Belle.
Juli: This is just a cute spot, I love it.
Jessica: I feel like it’s really, like quality time with the princess too because Belle sits up here and read the story to the whole crowd and you get a lot of face time with her and then you can go up and get your individual picture with her, get her autograph.
Juli: And just finished the story time and another one’s going to happen in like half an hour. So it’s frequent.
Jessica: Right, if you get the schedule, you can see what time she reads.
Juli: Okay, this, though, the Grotto and story time, these are the only spots that you can catch up with the princess.
Jessica: Right. If you know your daughter want to see a lot of princesses, you can book a character breakfast, lunch or dinner 180 days before your trip.
Juli: I see, do it from home when you know you’re coming.
Jessica: Right. You know, you’re coming, you can book breakfast, lunch or dinner with Cinderella, the Castle. We had breakfast there this morning, it was fantastic because it is not just Cinderella, we had Belle, Jasmine, Snow White and Princess Aurora walking around, signing autographs, doing pictures.
Juli: What about some of the other princesses you don’t see as much?
Jessica: Right, if your favorite happens to be Mulan or Pocahontas or one of the harder to find princesses, they’re usually in the parade down Main Street. So you can always catch the parade and wave from there.
They hang in a pub too and they do breakfast, lunch and dinner in Norway. And sometimes you can find Jasmine in Morocco, Mulan in China, Belle in France, Alice in England.
Juli: So you really have to go on a princess haunt and you just make your way through and you’ll find them eventually.
Jessica: Right, they’re everywhere. And you can also always ask your hotel concierge or at the bell desk if they have ideas where the princesses are that day because sometimes they have a schedule where there appearances will be.
Juli: Sounds like a plan. Now the girls are going to become their favorite princess, right. Let’s go to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
Jessica: Sounds good.
Erin: Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a very special salon for little girls of all ages can be transformed. From the moment you walk in, you’ll meet your very own fairy god mother in training who’ll make you feel like royalty.
Female: Princess Grace, you ready to go have your hair done? Come right this way, we’re going to go right over this way.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, may all your dreams and wishes, come true.
Rhiannon: They make beautiful princesses. Thanks, Juli. I’ve always love Belle myself. But if you need more insider info about Disney, head to Parents TV on parents.com.
