Disneys Newest Royalty, Princess Tiana, Makes Debut At Walt Disney World Resort In October & At Disneyland Resort In November
Since October 26, Walt Disney World guests have been treated to first-ever appearances by Princess Tiana , star of the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures animated feature film The Princess and the Frog . Besides meet-and-greets with guests, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen and other characters from the motion picture star in "Tiana's Showboat Jubilee!," a rousing, colorful procession with a jazz-filled Mardi Gras theme. The good times roll as festively dressed, bead-tossing revelers lead Magic Kingdom guests to the Liberty Belle Riverboat dock. R&B legends "Boys II Men" (L-R): Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman and Nathan Morris, pose with Princess Tiana at the Magic Kingdom.
Since Oct. 15, little princesses have been enjoying 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.
