Princess Tiana character revealed
Frontierland show on tap

Orlando Sentinel
The Princess Tiana character from Disney's upcoming The Princess and the Frog made her first appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Tampa Thursday. She was joined by actress and Tony Award winner Anika Noni Rose, who voiced the character for the animated feature, which debuts Dec. 11.

Tiana eventualy will be making theme-park appearances at Disney World. Brady MacDonald, our sister blogger from the Los Angeles Times reports that she'll be part of a limited-run riverboat show in the Magic Kingdom's Frontierland beginning Nov. 6. Actually, he called it a "jazz-infused riverboat extravaganza" aboard the Liberty Belle so get your jazz hands ready.

The attraction will include other characters from the film and run through Jan. 3rd.

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. I hope I get to see Princess Tiana in New Orleans Square.

Sincerely, a brother of a half-demon,

hopefully, she does come to NOS! the movie looks great! hopefully better than Enchanted! I liked Enchanted, but I felt that it was a bit too short, and they could have fitted in more Disney references

SO CUTE! I love that they're not only making a new animated feature, but that it's a new PRINCESS animated feature, too! Yay Disney!

Cool It's true.

It's true. This has been around as a "rumor", waiting for the offical announement at the NABJ convention. I couldn't find any official coverage on the Anaheim show, so I ran the Orlando one. Today, the Orange County Register finally covered it...

Default Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee

Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee

Princess Tiana to celebrate upcoming movie with Disneyland cavalcade

Orange County Register
“Princess and the Frog” heroine Princess Tiana made her first public appearance last week at the 2009 National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Convention in Tampa, Florida to promote Disneyland’s new show, Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee. Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee is a colorful, vibrant musical extravaganza taking place in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square, and will run from November 6 through January 3.

As the “second-line” procession reaches the Rivers of America dock, a group of pre-selected theme park visitors will board the waiting [Mark Twain] riverboat where Princess Tiana and other “The Princess and the Frog” characters will greet them. After departing, the riverboat will stop along the riverfront for a performance including songs from the film. The show will be repeated several times a day, with viewing areas along the waterfront,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

Arrow Even more princess in the parks

While we're on the subject of Princess Tiana in the parks, there's a movie exhibit at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. There's lots of concept art and maquettes. You can see photo updates at WDW News Today and Laughing Place

i have actually seen exclusive footage from this film, and trust me, it will not disappoint. It was, in a word, breathtaking.

For details, you will just have to tune into my San Diego Comic Con report over in Off Topic.

Default Princess Tiana's Showboat Jubilee debuts

Princess Tiana's Showboat Jubilee debuts


Video, Photos: Princess Tiana makes her official Magic Kingdom debut with a special welcome and Showboat Jubilee

Orlando Attractions Magazine
A host of Disney characters welcomed Princess Tiana this morning following her horse-drawn carriage ride to Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom. Tiana is featured in the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures animated film The Princess and the Frog which marks Disney’s return to traditional 2-D hand-drawn animation. Today’s special welcome was a one-time event in honor of Disney’s newest princess making her way to Walt Disney World’s most magical theme park.

Shortly thereafter, the official premiere performance of Tiana’s Showboat Jubilee took place. Following a jazz-filled procession through Frontierland and Liberty Square, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Dr. Facilier, and Louis the alligator performed with dancers, musicians, and even park guests in a live musical production that takes place on board the Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Belle riverboat.

Saw the Jubilee yesterday while I was working in Frontierland.

I'm quite impressed and I'd gladly see that several times a day... unlike that abominable "Stitch's Supersonic Flop" show they had at the beginning of the year in Tomorrowland which I almost went crazy from. Ugh.

Totally agree! The Jubilee is great. The music is CATCHY. I've had it stuck in my head for a couple of days now. And being a TSI river rat, I do get to see it all day long.
