Princess Tiana makes her royal debut at the Magic Kingdom

Led by Donald Duck, a host of Disney and Disney-Pixar characters welcomed Princess Tiana Oct. 26, 2009 after her horse-drawn carriage ride to Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Following a jubilant procession featuring dancers and musicians, Princess Tiana, featured in the Walt Disney Pictures' animated film "The Princess and the Frog," starred in the premiere performance of "Tiana's Showboat Jubilee!" -- a live musical production that takes place on board the theme park's "Liberty Belle" riverboat. The 15-minute performance will be presented in the Magic Kingdom from Oct. 26, 2009 to Jan. 3, 2010.
