Guess whos back, back again – Merida is back! For lovers of princesses, we have some thrilling news! Merida, the beloved Brave heroine, now hosts visitors at her Magic Kingdom Location. We knew this was coming with an original announcement back in June. However, In the past, She has been one of our favorite meet-and-greets! We are excited to see Merida meeting at Magic Kingdom after a long hiatus. There has typically been a line that forms to meet the Scottish princess in the past. Which we would expect to be the case, so try to get there early!
Where Can I find Merida?
She is located across from the Mad Tea Party in a quaint nook where she doubtless practices archery in her spare time. Be on the watch for the flying banners since it might be a bit challenging to locate this meet and greet location. Throughout the day, Merida will be available at various times to welcome visitors. Wait times are displayed on My Disney Experience and at the site.

This is a big return to Magic Kingdom! More signs that Disney has returned to the same state as prior to closing in 2020. There are still some things that have not returned since closing but may reopen soon. This includes other princesses at Cinderellas Royal Table and or the reopening of Akershus at Epcot. Merida’s return gives hope that the others may come back in the future.
