Napa Rose reopened in February 2026 after a massive reimagining. I love the new interior, it’s light, airy and bright in the dining area but also dark and sophisticated in the reception area.
The new look really compliments the Princess atmosphere and makes for some beautiful photos, especially if you’re intentional about the placement. I can help with that too (more below).

Princesses You’ll Meet
Since you’re here to meet all the Disney Princesses possible, we list out the possible Disney characters you might see at Napa Rose. While the line-up can and does change, here is who I have seen.
- Rapunzel, Tangled. Rapunzel came by and we chatted about how she was able to make it here so early and even get her hair done on time. She was smart, witty and fun—just like the Rapunzel we know from Tangled.
- Tiana, Princess and the Frog. Her gown is stunning and calls attention from everyone in the kingdom. We talked southern food and of course beignets!
- Aurora, Sleeping Beauty. When we met with Sleeping Beauty herself, we couldn’t help but talk about the vibrant colors on Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Park. We laughed and chatted like old friends and bonded over our blonde-haired sisterhood. Now if I could only get that kinda volume and waves in my hair, I’d be princess material in no time!
- Belle, Beauty and the Beast. I didn’t see Belle at my most recent visit, but when I did Belle she was dressed in her provincial attire, which really just makes me want to shout/sing “Good Morning, Belle!” every time she walked by.
- Ariel, The Little Mermaid. We met her outside on the patio before we swam away, it was wonderful to see her on land!
- Jasmine, Aladdin. Jasmine mentioned missing rajah and I told her I heard there were some cats around this area that he might enjoy hanging out with. We talked like old friends about magic carpet rides and what it would be like if rajah could join us for breakfast in Napa Rose.
- Mulan, Mulan.Mulan is a rare princess to spot at Disneyland Resort. But if you’re visiting during Lunar New Year, Mulan makes multiple appearances and is even the star of Mulan’s Lunar New Year Procession.
- Raya, Raya and the Last Dragon. I’ve only seen this movie once but Raya was super chatty about anything and everything we wanted to talk about. She showed us different ways to pose with her signature looks as well.
- Pocahontas, Pocahontas. I loved meeting her at this experience, she wasn’t there the first time I went and can be hard to find. I have run into Pocahontas just around the river bend, near the petrified tree overlooking Rivers of America so be on the look out for her in the park if she’s your favorite.
This dining experience is unlike any of the others at Disneyland Resort. It is a truly exceptional experience which simply can’t be matched by quick character meet-ups inside the parks.
Expect Princess meet and greets with up to eight Disney Princesses during one visit. Want to increase your chances of meeting the most Disney princesses? I discussed at length with my server about the best time to dine. I suggest between 10 and 10:30 am because there’s less new guests arriving after you which means possible more one on one time with the princesses.
We found the dining room wasn’t too crowded and princess after princess arrived at our table, before we even had a chance to visit the buffet. I prefer the quick succession of meet and greets. We met mostly all the princesses before food cluttered the table and we were not worried about leaving our table and missing our favorite princess.
I also appreciated that there were many empty tables as earlier guests finished their meals. This gave us many options for backgrounds without other people or dirty tables in our photos.
You can meet up to two Disney Princess on the outside patio. Jump in line as soon as you check in, then hop back in on your way out. Outdoor photos are usually lovely here and the PhotoPass photographer is ready to snap all your photos.
I am glad I attended with other adults because it also allowed me to observe families and see how they reacted to this premium dining event. I saw little boys and girls smiling from ear to ear as Rapunzel came by and took photos with them at Napa Rose. I saw little princesses twirl in their gowns and delight as the princesses interacted with them.
Remember, you can meet and see Disney Princesses at several locations throughout Disneyland Resort, even if you do not attend a character meal.
Is It Worth the Cost?
It’s been a few since Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures opened and we’re still getting very mixed reviews in my Disneyland with Kids Facebook group. These reviews are what led me to try it out for myself. I wanted to address some points of concern and see if this Disneyland upgrade is worth the money.
Here’s some important updates to note:
- Children under 3 are free but will not receive their own place settings
- Gifts are no longer part of the package
After experiencing Princess dining for myself, I continuously turned it over in my mind if it was priced appropriately. Ultimately my opinion is yes, it worth the price point. Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures is a fabulous concept with high expectations. My expectations were met and then some.
I recommend Princess Breakfast Adventures for . . . a special mommy and child date, a birthday celebration, to kick off or conclude a Disneyland vacation, a special family meal on rest days, a grown-up girls brunch or even a multi-generational meal with grandma, mom and child.
In the dining room with me that day, I saw every one of these occasions play out, including my girls-day-out brunch with Becca and Toni from Theme Park Tip Gal.
I watched in adoration when little boys and girls giggled with delight as princesses engaged them in conversation. I saw fathers bringing their children to enjoy and meal and talk sports with their server, I saw a grandmother indulging her daughter and granddaughter over a meal they will remember forever and I saw families making magical memories.
Overall, I think this is a special event that should seriously be considered during your Disneyland Resort vacation. The added touches of elegance is unmatched and the level of attention you receive is stellar. I’d love to hear what you think of this dining experience, inducing what they did right and what Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures can do to improve.

What have your experiences been with character dining or Princess Breakfast Adventures at Disneyland? I’d love to hear about it.
In my opinion, don’t bother.. You don’t get a lot of food for your money and many of the meal options s are geared towards adults and not children. We met 3 princesses and felt like we were rushed through. W6e were not offered champagne and the parting “keepsake” is now a doll and not a necklace.
I wondering how long the whole event is. Also do they sing to children if it it their birthday?
The entire event is about 2 hours, so be sure your little ones can sit through something that extensive. Sometimes Cast Members sing, but sometimes they don’t. Be sure you mention you’re celebrating a birthday when you arrive.
I love honest reviews. Thanks for sharing the menu it’s exciting.
The menu is super exciting! It’s a great character dining experience for sure.
