Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new official Disney Princess!
Merida, the heroine from the Disney●Pixar film, “Brave,” was officially welcomed into Disney royalty earlier today in a ceremony held at Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park.
Presiding over the ceremony was Gymnastics gold medalist Gabby Douglas, and of course, our Disney Princesses: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana and Rapunzel, were in attendance.
Check out the video below to see the royal ceremony for yourself!

I loved this! Yet another reason why Disney is so amazing and magical.
I’m glad she’s an official princess. She is a great example of what a “brave” girl is.
We attended the ceremony as parto of DisneySMMoms. Merida was beautiful, my kids were very excited to see her and all the Princess together. Congrats Merida!
As a proud daughter of Scotland, it was quite emotional to see this video which celebrates the heritage of our country in ‘Brave’. Merida is a very strong and positive role model!
‘Coronated’ would be the correct term in this case, as only kings and queens are ‘crowned’ – princes and princesses would be ceremoniously presented with a coronet instead of a crown, as can be seen in the video, presented by Queen Elinor.
Not going to lie, my eyes misted watching this video.
We loved the ceremony. It was very exciting. My daughter Sofia is a huge fan of Merida. She loves her. We were in Magic Kingdom last February and found Merida next to Cinderella’s Castle.
She looks fantastic. It looks like she stepped out of the movie, and not that re-design.
I’ll hail Princess Merida.
I’m wondering what has happened to my Princess of the Gypsies Esmeralda? I last saw her just a few years ago and have a Great picture of her. I hope she is brought back into the Kingdom once more.
My favorite Princess!!! However, no such word as “Coronated” exists. Is this Disney speak?
Coronation is the official term for being crowned.
Coronated is used correctly here. My source is the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
cor·o·nate transitive verb \ˈkȯr-ə-ˌnāt, ˈkär-\
cor·o·nat·ed cor·o·nat·ing
I would post the link, but I don’t think outside linking is allowed. 😉
I can’t believe I missed this! It was on the calendar, but then I had to attend a fundraiser.
This is great! Even my boys love Merida 🙂
Coronated?? Maybe “Crowned” is a better word?
It was cool to see Merida’s mother there.
I was lucky enough to attend this morning as part of the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. Despite the heat, I got goosebumps during the ceremony. It was absolutely incredible.
Where will Merida’s meet and greet area be? Will Queen Elinor appear there with her? My autistic daughter would LOVE a mother/daughter photo and autographs.
You mean “crowned”? 😉
Wish my wife and I could have been there to witness this. Would have been another perfect day for kilt wearing at Disney World!
Congratulations to Merida and, of course, the Pixar staff who created a character that resonates so strongly with the audience.
