World Princess Week is returning to Disney Parks with some magical limited-time offerings for all Guests to enjoy!

World Princess Week is an exciting festivity that began last year as part of Disney’s Ultimate Princess Celebration. This global extravaganza highlights the impact of Disney Princesses and the courage and kindness they inspire in fans all around the world, extending across the entire Walt Disney Company.

This year, Guests will be able to celebrate the brave, beloved Disney Princesses as World Princess Week returns to Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, and Disneyland Paris from August 21 through August 27, with giveaways, limited-time offerings, and so much more! One of the most exciting aspects of this year’s celebration will be the debut of Kumandran warrior Raya — from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) — as an official Disney Princess.

This royal week of celebrations is being ignited by no other than global superstar and Grammy Award-winning artist Brandy Norwood, who visited Disneyland Resort for a special performance in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle of “Starting Now,” the theme song of Ultimate Princess Celebration! Brandy — who starred in the title role in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997) — is the perfect artist to breathe the heart and soul into World Princess Week through her stunning performance of “Starting Now.” The official video of this magical performance is coming to the Disney Parks Blog and Disney Parks social media platforms this Monday, August 22.
