If you’ve got little princesses of your own, chances are their number one priority is going to be meeting other princess, be they mermaids, magic carpet riding, or born with freezing powers.
The good news is, Walt Disney World makes it very achievable to encounter as many of your favorite princesses as you’d like! Across the four parks, princesses have meet and greets and dine with subjects. The locations will vary, with some princesses meeting indoors for the entire day, and others meeting outdoors during a specific time slot. Some princesses seem to be everywhere, while a few only meet in one place.
But that’s not all! You can also indulge your royal side with a princess meal at a deluxe resort, or ride their attraction 700 times, or watch their Broadway style stage shows, or wave to them as they parade by. The princess possibilities are so much more than just a meet and greet. You can fashion entire park days, even entire vacations, around your little one’s favorite princesses. By knowing where your favorite princesses are, you can craft the perfect plan to meet them all before you turn into a pumpkin.

Meets: Discovery Island Trails, Animal Kingdom.
This is like a double unicorn: there aren’t a ton of character meets at Animal Kingdom, and this is the only place Pocahontas meets across all four parks. She will sign autographs, take pictures, maybe even paint with the colors of the wind. She appears at various times throughout the day, so be sure to check the character times guide.
FastPass: No.
Parade: No.
Dining Options: None.

Bonus Rivers: The Pocahontas pickings are slim, but you can see beautiful representations of the the nature loving princess on display at the Emporium on Main Street as well at the World of Disney at Disney Springs.
My Take: While Animal Kingdom hosts some excellent new attractions and world class shows, for us, the highlight is Pocahontas. The only Princess to be found at Animal Kingdom, she is a perfect fit for the park’s theme of dedication to conservation and wildlife protection.
While most of the princesses have a furry friend or two they love to chat about, Pocahontas takes the cake when it comes to interactions based on animals, the outdoors, and nature. After her appearance in Ralph Breaks the Internet, I would not be surprised if this rare meet and greet opportunity got a little more popular.
Fair warning, even though she has an awesome window display at the Emporium at the Magic Kingdom, merchandise options for Pocahontas are a little thin on the ground. If she is the favorite princess of your favorite princess, you might want to stock up on gifts before you get to Florida.
