At select Disney parks and resorts worldwide, get ready to immerse yourself in enchanting experiences. From thrilling Princess-themed attractions to captivating entertainment, exclusive merchandise, and delectable Princess-inspired treats, there’s something magical waiting for every royal fan.

Disneyland Paris

Now through Aug. 31, there are even more ways to celebrate beloved Disney Princess characters at Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris including a special royal welcome from Minnie Mouse every morning at the Main Street, U.S.A. train station balcony as she’s all dressed up in her princess gown, plus an encounter with Belle in Fantasyland where she’ll share some of her favorite stories.

There’s even an exclusive show “Live Your Story – a Disney Princess Celebration,” only available during World Princess Week! And just in time for this special celebration, Disneyland Paris has designed an exclusive collection only found at the resort.

You can find the all-new, exclusive merch at various shops including La Chaumière des Sept Nains, World of Disney, Main Street Motors and Royal Collection Boutique where you can find Jasmine or Belle-inspired spirit jerseys, and Moana, Jasmine and Aurora-themed ear headbands.

There are also themed eats at Disneyland Park and Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris such as the Royal Bayou Cake, Best. Shake. Ever!, Wave of the Ocean Cake, Mermaid Kiss Cupcake, Rapunzel’s Golden Glow mocktail, and the Enchanted Petals Cocktail available for a limited time.

Looking to stay somewhere fit for royalty? The newly reimagined five-star Disneyland Hotel is inspired by Disney stories such as “Moana,” “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Tangled,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “The Little Mermaid” and many others.

Those looking for the most immersive experience can book one of the five signature suites featuring design elements from Walt Disney Animation Studios classics such as “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Tangled.”

At La Table de Lumière inspired by the iconic Hall of Mirrors in the royal Palace of Versailles and Disney Animation’s “Beauty and the Beast,” you can enjoy exquisite French cuisine in the company of beloved Disney princesses and princes as they roam and interact with you.

Or if you’re in Fantasyland, Auberge de Cendrillon offers a fun dining experience full of treats straight from Cinderella’s kitchen in the medieval splendor of a banquet hall inspired by the film.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort has joined the World Princess Week festivities through Sep. 1 with a celebratory “A Royal Walk with Princesses.” Catch this magical walk every Friday to Sunday featuring beloved Disney Princess characters in Fantasyland.

Along with all their delicious delights, Royal Banquet Hall is serving new cupcakes themed to Ariel, Cinderella and Snow White. Additionally, you can also meet and complete royal tasks together with your favorite princesses daily at “An Adventureland Princess Encounter” in Adventureland throughout the celebration.

Those visiting anytime of the year can admire the Castle of Magical Dreams – a Disney Castle inspired by beloved Disney princesses and queens from 13 stories such as “Moana,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Tangled,” “Mulan,” “Frozen” and many more. This majestic edifice highlights the diversity of these unique characters and their stories with various architectural elements found throughout the castle. Best of all, you can even meet many of these princesses at the Royal Reception Hall inside the castle!

Afterwards, stop by the Cinderella Carousel for a royal ride, explore the enchanted Fairy Tale Forest – presented by PANDORA where scenes from fairy tales come to life and even stay in the Kingdom Club Cinderella Suite at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel complete with themed decorations and a complimentary, sumptuous Cinderella Platter.

Shanghai Disney Resort

Those visiting Shanghai Disney Resort will want to stop by The Enchanted Storybook Castle in Fantasyland, which pays homage to “happily ever after” and the magic in all fairy tales. The castle features Disney queens and princesses throughout, including the four mosaic walls inside the castle that depict different fan-favorite princess stories.

If you’re looking to meet some of these Disney royals, you can find them over at Castle Encounters Boutique, or if you’re feeling hungry, you can stop by the Royal Banquet Hall for delectable dishes inspired by the heroines themselves.

Within the castle walls, you can also experience the attraction “Once Upon a Time” Adventure that leads you to the top of the castle as you ascend a magnificent staircase to a “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” interactive experience.

Underneath the castle, you’ll find the Voyage to the Crystal Grotto, that’ll give you a dazzling display of Disney Princess tales as you journey through the waterways of Fantasyland.

Tokyo Disney Resort

Fantasy Springs is the newest themed port at Tokyo DisneySea and even includes Rapunzel’s Forest inspired by Disney Animation’s “Tangled.” In this area, you’ll be transported directly into the film and can explore where Rapunzel grew up.

As you journey through the forest you might notice a few familiar sights including Rapunzel’s Tower, The Snuggly Duckling restaurant where you can grab a bite to eat and Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, where you can experience the story of Rapunzel as it comes to life for the first time at a Disney park.

You won’t want to skip this attraction as you journey through recognizable locations – including the fan-favorite Lantern Festival scene featuring the song “I See the Light.”

Once you’re done exploring Fantasy Springs, Tokyo Disney Resort has other Princess-themed experiences you can enjoy. At Fantasyland in Tokyo Disneyland, you can find Cinderella’s Fairy Tale Hall inside Cinderella’s Castle featuring paintings, dioramas and other artworks that take you through the iconic story.

Fans of “Aladdin” should also check out the Arabian Coast at Tokyo DisneySea, which is home to attractions such as Caravan Carousel and Jasmine’s Flying Carpets, shops including Agrabah Marketplace and restaurants like Sultan’s Oasis and Casbah Food Court.
