Disney’s new princess: Rapunzel

With the holiday season release of “Tangled,” there’s a new princess at Walt Disney World—although her name should be familiar to many guests. This fall Rapunzel made her debut at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, making appearances for character greetings in the Fairytale Garden located between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland.

Also appearing with Rapunzel is her love interest from the film, Flynn Rider. Instead of being the handsome prince featured in the original Grimm’s fairy tale, Flynn is more of a roguish—although equally handsome—character who wins Rapunzel’s freedom as well as her heart. As can be expected with all Disney princesses, there is plenty of merchandise associated with the new movie, and Tangled items can be found in Walt Disney World gift shops and toy retailers everywhere.
