Princess Separate Meet and Greet Areas Demanded – Not Desired

One of the new features of the Fantasy Land expansion is going to be separate meet and greet areas for each of the princesses. This might seem odd on the surface. Why not have a princesses pavilion, so you can meet them all at once? After all the Tinker Bell and her other fairy buddies hang out in the same place.

The reason for separate locations becomes apparent when you look at the princesses history. For years Disney has had their hands full. Behind the scenes the princesses are a bunch of moody, backstabbing pre-Madonna’s. After decades of violence the only sensible way to control the situation was to keep them separated.

The initial cost for building each area is expected to be recouped in saved medical expenses. Over the years the princesses have racked up quite a bill. Here are just a few examples:

- Belle had to have a nose job after she took a glass slipper to the face.

- Ariel and Jasmine needed hair plugs after some of their hair was “extracted” during a tussle.

- Aurora was in a neck brace for a month after taking a pumpkin to the head.

- Snow White was in the hospital for a week after getting run over by a flying carpet.

- Cinderella ended up in the hospital after she was “accidently” knocked down the stairs.

To ensure the safety of the cast members and guests, the imagineers who designed the animal enclosures in Animal Kingdom were enlisted to design the new princess locations. Each location has carefully disguised barb wire fences, barriers, pitfalls, and other fortifications to prevent ambushes.

In addition plans are in place for each princess to have their prince appear with them. On the surface this seems like a ploy to get them into the parks. In reality the princes will be serving as body guards / peacekeepers.

In a recent interview Prince Charming admitted that the princesses do indeed despise each other but the princes get along great and frequently “drink around the world” together.

Only time will tell if the new meet and greet locations prevent the violence and blood shed from continuing.
