At Reserving Royalty, we believe magic should meet children where they are. We warmly welcome children of all abilities, including autistic and neurodivergent children, and are happy to work with families to create an experience that feels comfortable, joyful, and magical for their individual child.

Accommodations at the Fairytale Palace

Our cast and team are happy to make reasonable accommodations whenever possible. Because alot of our Fairytale Palace experiences are privately reserved, we may be able to adjust things such as:

• Dimming or increasing the lighting

• Lowering or removing background music

• Ramps for easy access to our Stage

• Modifying games, activities, or the flow of the experience

• Allowing additional time to warm up to characters or a new environment

• Providing quieter spaces or breaks from activities

• Increasing facility cleaning or arranging cast/staff masking when requested in advance

• Might be able to provide performers available to speak the same languages or ASL

• Adapting character interactions based on your child's comfort and communication style

• And more!

Participation is always encouraged, never forced. A child does not have to sing, dance, play a game, pose for a photo, hug a character, make eye contact, speak, or participate in an activity to be included in the magic. Children are welcome to observe, take breaks, participate in their own way, or simply enjoy being present.

We understand that excitement may look different for every child!

​

Autism & Neurodiversity 

Our team understands that autistic and neurodivergent children may communicate, play, process sensory input, and interact differently. We don't expect children to adapt to a particular idea of how a "princess party" should look.

Our goal is to follow your child's comfort and energy.

Our performers can use storybooks, coloring, stickers, toys, stuffed animals, parallel play, quieter conversation, or simply a little extra space to help children become comfortable with the character and environment. Non-speaking, shy, sensory-seeking, sensory-sensitive, or slow-to-warm-up royal guests are just as welcome in our kingdom.

We also understand that some children may love touching or examining costume details, while others may prefer additional personal space. Our cast is trained to take cues from the child and their grown-up whenever possible.

​

Cast Training

Several members of our team have professional experience in fields including child development, psychology, and physical therapy. We use this knowledge alongside ongoing cast training to help create flexible, child-led character interactions.

Our performers are taught not to take hesitation personally and to adjust their approach when a child needs more time, space, movement, quiet, or a different way to connect.

Parents and caregivers know their children best, so we welcome your guidance. If there is something that helps your child feel comfortable, please share it with us before your reservation.

A Smaller, Gentler Experience

For children who may benefit from a quieter environment, fewer guests, or more individualized sensory accommodations, we highly recommend our Private Princess Playdates. Their small guest count and one-hour experience can make them a wonderful option for children who may find a traditional birthday party overwhelming.

​

Public & Ticketed Events

For public events, we provide information about planned activities whenever possible so families can determine whether an event may be a comfortable fit for their child. Events at the Fairytale Palace also often have limited guest counts; you can always inquire before purchasing to know what size group we are expecting. 

Because public events cannot be customized to the same extent as private reservations, we encourage families to reach out with questions about lighting, music, activities, crowds, character interactions, or other sensory considerations before purchasing tickets.

​

We also host specifically designated sensory-friendly events throughout the year and will always clearly identify them as such.

​

Accessibility

Our Fairytale Palace is located on the ground level and includes accessible parking and multiple accessible restrooms.

Every child deserves the opportunity to experience a little magic and there is no "right" way to enjoy it. 👑
