Disney's Newest Royalty, Princess Tiana,
Makes Walt Disney World Debut
Starting Oct. 26, Walt Disney World guests will be treated to
first-ever appearances by Princess Tiana, star of the upcoming
Walt Disney Pictures animated feature film “The Princess and
the Frog.”

to become human.
Besides meet-and-greets with guests, Princess Tiana,
Prince Naveen and other characters from the motion picture
will star in “Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee!,” a rousing,
colorful procession with a jazz-filled Mardi Gras theme.
The good times will roll as festively dressed,
bead-tossing revelers lead Magic Kingdom guests to the Liberty
Belle Riverboat dock.

The party moves onboard and the Liberty Belle paddlewheels
her way along the river with singing and dancing to the sounds
of a six-member jazz band. Nearly two dozen Disney
dancers join 30 randomly chosen park guests to be part of each
show. Original songs composed by Randy Newman for the
film liven the production, which will be performed three times
daily. Daytime pyrotechnics and whimsical puppetry round
out the spirited, 15-minute production.
The 10-week experience at Walt Disney World Resort will run
through Jan. 3, 2010. “Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee!”
also will dazzle guests at Disneyland Park in California,
beginning Nov. 6.
Tiana's Riverboat Jubilee
is a spirited celebration that invites guest participation.
A hilarious movie adventure through the mystical bayous of
Louisiana, “The Princess and the Frog” will open in
limited release in New York and Los Angeles on Nov. 25, 2009,
before expanding nationwide on Dec. 11, 2009.
Beginning Oct. 15, little princesses 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.
The Riverboat Jubilee
begins with a street festival that entices guests
to follow performers to the Liberty Belle Riverboat.
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
