Disney is going all out to welcome its latest princess into the family.
The studio plans to host special screenings in Burbank and New York of its upcoming animated musical feature The Princess and the Frog that will include access to a special post-season Ultimate Disney Experience built around the themes of the new film. The screenings and event will occur at the studio’s Burbank lot ‘ which is rarely open to the public ‘ and at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York.
The event will include all nine Disney princesses, Bayou games, movie archives, how-to presentations from animators and, at the Burbank location, tours of the studio.
“Our Studio is not open to the public, so it`s an unprecedented opportunity for Disney fans to experience a movie right here on the Disney lot where we`ve filmed Disney classics like Mary Poppins, Princess Diaries, Pirates of the Caribbean and
many more,’ said Dick Cook, chairman of the studio in a statement.
The studio describes the features of The Ultimate Disney Experience as follows;
