Disney continues to highlight various princesses for their World Princess Week! Find out how to celebrate Thursday’s princess (Ariel) and Friday’s (Mulan) at Disney parks around the world!

Each day this week, Disney Parks Blog features a different Princess for “World Princess Week.” On Thursday, we learned where to spot Ariel around the parks, and today they focused on Mulan!

World Princess Week

Disney referred to this week as the “first ever” World Princess Week, which is to say they made it up just for this year! Each princess also does a quick lesson on an important attribute in the Youtube series, Courage and Kindness Club.

The first princess honored on Monday was Tiana! On Tuesday, Disney focused on all things Cinderella. On Wednesday, Disney revealed several Moana offerings at Disney’s Aulani resort and elsewhere throughout their parks and resorts.
