If you haven’t heard, a new interactive experience that lets Disney Princess (and Disney Queen) fans step into their favorite stories like never before is open inside Enchanted Storybook Castle at Shanghai Disney Resort. And today, we’re sharing a special look at Castle Encounters and why it’s a must-do for all ages!




1. Dress Like Royalty — Literally!
As you probably know, the park’s Enchanted Storybook Castle is the largest Disney castle in history and celebrates the stories of all the Disney Princesses, including Tiana, Merida, Rapunzel, Elsa and Anna, Belle, Cinderella and Snow White. Inside the castle, at Castle Encounters, you can find accessories inspired by the gowns of the Disney royals in Winter Magic Cavalcade. From wearable royal items to trading pins and home décor, find the perfect regal touch to take home with you.

2. Discover New, Immersive Design
Just like Enchanted Storybook Castle itself, which is the first Disney castle to feature all of the Disney queens and princesses, the royal chamber inside Castle Encounters represents all of the royals through exquisite design elements. Step inside and experience the royal chamber’s breathtaking design. Icons from Queens and Princesses seamlessly blend into the decor – Cinderella’s slipper, Jasmine’s lamp, Mushu’s emblem for Mulan, and more. This immersive experience is a fairy tale enthusiast’s dream come true right in the heart of Shanghai Disney Resort.



3. Meet Your Favorite Queens and Princesses
At Castle Encounters, you’ll be amazed with a magical new way to meet your favorite Queens and Princesses all in one place. And once you enter the boutique, you’ll find yourself in an exquisitely appointed parlor designed exclusively for royal audiences. It’s not your average greeting; it’s a rendezvous with Disney royals.
Whether you’re indulging in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique salon for children, savoring an elegant meal with Disney friends at the Royal Banquet Hall, or partaking in an enhanced greeting experience with Disney Princesses, Queens, and their Princes at Castle Encounters, this new and enhanced royal experience is captivating.
