Where to Meet and See Mirabel from Encanto at Walt Disney World

If your kids are asking where to meet Mirabel at Walt Disney World, youโ€™re not alone. As a Disney dad and travel agent, Iโ€™ve had dozens of families bring this up. And Iโ€™ve stood in the meet-and-greet line myself with my own family.

Mirabel is one of the most relatable characters Disneyโ€™s introduced in years. She doesnโ€™t have powers, but sheโ€™s got heart, and for a lot of kids, that makes her feel more real than many other princess in the park. The good news? Sheโ€™s become a regular part of Magic Kingdomโ€™s character lineup. The not-so-good news? Her location isnโ€™t always obvious.

Hereโ€™s exactly where to find Mirabel, how to avoid long waits, and how to make the most of the moment.

Magic Kingdom: Fairytale Garden (Near Cinderella Castle)

As of 2025, the main place to meet Mirabel is at Fairytale Garden, located just to the right of Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom. The area was re-themed with Encanto-inspired colors and dรฉcor, and itโ€™s one of the most visually fun spots to meet any character.

Youโ€™ll find Mirabel here most days, but her schedule can vary slightly. She typically starts greeting guests mid-morning and continues into the late afternoon. You can confirm exact times on the My Disney Experience app if you search her name under โ€œcharacters.โ€

How the line works:

  • This is a standard standby queue with no Lightning Lane option as of now
  • Wait times are usually shortest first thing in the morning or during the afternoon parade
  • Thereโ€™s shade in the queue, but no seating, so plan ahead if youโ€™re visiting during a hot or crowded day

What to expect from the interaction:

  • Mirabel spends time talking with each child, not just signing and snapping a photo
  • PhotoPass photographers are usually available, but you can also use your own camera or phone
  • Cast Members nearby are great about helping kids feel comfortable, especially if theyโ€™re nervous
