You Can Meet Tinkerbell at Disney's Magic Kingdom Theme park.

TinkerBell's Magical Nook in the Magic Kingdom at Disney WorldThey've opened Tinkerbell's Magical Nook for meet-and-greets with Tinker Bell and one of her friends in the Adventureland Veranda in the Magick Kingdom theme park. This area is next to Aloha Isle, on the right, as you come over the Adventureland Bridge. Check the sign to see the approximate wait time. Currently, this area is open from 9:00AM to one hour prior to park closing. Guests will be happy to see that some of the oversized "Pixie Hollow" type sets have been added to this area, helping add to the feel that Tinkerbell is a tiny little fairy.

The fairies are very popular and there currently are not FASTPASS tickets. If seeing them is a priority, I recommend that you arrive at the Magic Kingdom at least 15 minutes before park opening. As soon as the park opens, head briskly down Main Street and ride Dumbo, if that's a priority. Then ride the Minnie Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, followed by Peter Pan. Once you've done those three attractions, head right over to se the Fairies. Afterwards, you may want to have one person in your party head over to Frontierland to get Splash Mountain FASTPASS tickets. You can enjoy the rest of Adventureland now and hit some remaining Fantasyland rides later in the day.

Other Places to see Tinker Bell in Disney's Magic Kingdom Theme Park.

Tinkerbell in the Main Street Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom Theme Park in Disney World Even though there isn't currently a place to meet Tinkerbell for photographs and autographs but there are other places to see her in the Magic Kingdom.

1. Peter Pan's Flight - Fantasyland - this gentle ride is a Magic Kingdom classic and features scenes from Disney's Peter Pan movie. You'll find Tinker Bell included / pictured in several scenes. TIP: This ride is popular and lines grow quickly so ride this shortly after the Magic Kingdom opens - after riding Dumbo.

2. Mickey's Philharmagic 3-D - Fantasyland - Tinkerbell flies across the screen immediately following the section with Simba from Lion King.

3. Tinkerbell often flies from the castle towards the Plaza restaurant at the beginning of the Wishes Fireworks. There may be times when weather or other factors prevent this from happening. TIP: Try to find a spot by the rose gardens near the Plaza Restaurant to watch Wishes and Tinkerbell will fly right over your head. This isn't necessarily a good location if you're also planning to see the SpectroMagic parade on the same evening because this is a little ways from the parade route.

4. Disney Dreams Come True Parade - this afternoon parade typically occurs at 3:00PM but may also be offered at noon during Christmas week. You may hear Peter Pan ask, "Hey, Tinkerbell, do you have a dream?...I thought so" as part of the soundtrack. He'll be holding a lantern in hand that sort of symbolizes Tinkerbell's presence - supposedly she is in the lantern. This isn't a particularly amazing effect but may be enough to keep a devoted Tinkerbell fan happy.

5. In June 2010, the Disney Main Street Electrical Parade returned to the Magic Kingdom theme park and replaced the SpectroMagic parade. Tinkerbell has the lead float position in this parade.

6. SpectroMagic Parade - This classic nighttime parade was a staple at Walt Disney World for many years and we don't know if, or when it might be back. If you do ever get the chance to see this parade, Tinkerbell is included, in a small way, on the float with Captain Hook. You'll probably see Peter Pan walking ahead of the float. An animated Tinkerbell flies along the side of the buildings featured at the front of this float.

Tinker Bell's Flight During the Magic Kingdom Wishes Fireworks

Tinker Bells Flies at Disney World

A crowd of more than 60,000 showed up to watch the Tinker Bell's inaugural flight at the Magic Kingdom on July 3, 1985. Originally planned as a seasonal and holiday spectacle for our theme park, the response was so positive that Tinker Bell's flight turned into a nightly event that continues to this day.

Tinkerbell at Epcot

Spaceship Earth at Epcot in Orlando Florida There isn't a Tinkerbell "Meet & Greet" area in Epcot but you do see her briefly when you ride Soarin' (Land pavilion). She appears towards the end of the ride as you're gliding towards Snow White's castle and the Disneyland fireworks. You must be at least 40-inches (102cm) to ride this attraction.

Does Tinkerbell appear at Disney's Hollywood Studios or Disney's Animal Kingdom theme parks?

Disney's Hollywood Studios - The classic animated scene featuring Tinkerbell sprinkling pixie dust from "The Wonderful World of Disney" television program is included in the movie portion of the "Walt Disney - One Man's Dream" attraction. This is a wonderful and inspirational movie where you hear Walt Disney share the histories of Walt Disney Studios and the beginnings of the theme parks in his own words. It is a wonderful tribute piece but it may not hold the attention of young children.

Unfortunately, you won't see Tinkerbell at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park.
