Character Spotlight: Anastasia from ‘Cinderella’ at Disney World

Anastasia is an evil stepsister in Disney’s animated film Cinderella. She’s the daughter of Lady Tremaine and sister of Drizella. If you run into Anastasia in the parks, you can guarantee Drizella won’t be far behind. They are a rotten pair who are always together. That said, they make for a fun meet-and-greet, and we always enjoy seeing them. Below, we’ll discuss where you might find them during your Walt Disney World vacation. For reference, Anastasia wears a vibrant dress with shades of pink, while Drizella wears a lime green dress.

Movies to Watch Before Your Disney World Vacation:

  • Cinderella (1950 animated film)
  • Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002 animated film)
  • Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (2003 live-action)
  • Cinderella III: A Twist on Time (2007 animated film)
  • Cinderella (2015 live-action)

Does Anastasia have a regular meet-and-greet at Walt Disney World? She meets daily in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom near Cinderella’s Fountain (behind the castle). She meets alongside Drizella. They are pretty easy to find, but often hold long lines. So you’ll want to arrive early to see them. Check the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for exact times and locations. Here’s how:

How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App

  • Open the My Disney Experience app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
  • Scroll (left to right) through the icons at the top of the screen and select “Characters.”
  • After selecting characters, use the locations drop down to select the park of your choice.
  • Then, on the bottom right of the screen, select “Show List.”
  • Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.
  • As an alternative, you can use the map view to locate characters.

*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.
