Get ready to celebrate Disney Princesses and inspire girls everywhere! Disney kicked off a multi-year campaign today that hopes to give girls the opportunity and tools to use their imaginations, try new things, and believe in themselves, while not forgetting the fun and magic that Disney Princesses bring to every part of life. 

The “Create Your World” celebration will span every aspect of Disney products and experiences, including theatrical and streaming content, Disney Parks experiences, new music cover releases, consumer products, and more. In alignment with the “Create Your World” theme, each experience is designed to encourage fans of all ages to discover their own brand of Princess magic within themselves.
