LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Walt Disney World guests are being treated to first-ever appearances by Princess Tiana, star of the Walt Disney Pictures hit animated feature film “The Princess and the Frog.”
A hilarious movie adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana, “The Princess and the Frog” opened nationwide on Dec. 11, 2009.
The big-screen magic extends to Disney theme parks.
At various times throughout the day, Magic Kingdom guests can meet and greet Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen in a gazebo behind Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in a section of the theme park known as The Glade.
Princess dreams come true, too. Little ones can enjoy a new Princess Tiana makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at both the World of Disney store and Magic Kingdom locations at Walt Disney World Resort.
Fairy Godmothers-in-Training sprinkle their pixie dust on aspiring princesses with three makeover packages ranging from a combination of hair, nails and makeup to the royal transformation complete with Princess Tiana costume, tiara, wand and more. All children must be at least three years or older to receive the regal treatments.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Magic Kingdom is open 8 a.m.-7 p.m. daily; theme park admission is required. The Downtown Disney Marketplace salon is open 9 a.m.-6 p.m. daily. There is no admission or self-parking fee required at Downtown Disney.
