Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen Meet and Greet, MK Disney World

[Griffanswing626]

um pochantes was an American princess

[pressedflowers99]

That moment at disneyland when you're at New Orlenes Square, and you wait in a huge line JUST to see TIANA and NAVEEN, then when you walk out to fantasyland, you see another pair of Tiana and Naveen on a parade float. -__-

[Tigresswoman97]

That's really not the best Naveen.

[MorroccoSurrogate]

Where is Naveen supposed to be from, anyway? What place still had princes in the 1930s - Monaco?

[mjandbalto]

@funtimecheerio ok, thanks! I was wondering because in the movie it doesn't say anything about her being a real princess, but i'll take your word for it.

[mjandbalto]

Is Mulan counted as a disney princess or not?

[moni3686]

@Panda21Luver Esmerelda!

[HappyXHaineko]

Now I'm waiting for a Princess with 'meat on her bones'! DOn't get me wrong I like all the Princesses ( especially Tiana and Pocahontas) but most of them are very thin. Not everyone is that small. :)

[princessdana411]

omg last year i went to disney and those 2 walked into us!!!

[poptartdom]

I'm surprised disney hasnt done a movie based on some african folklore. there's thousands of mythologies to choose from.

[Ephyne]

@poptartdom DUDE. That would be so cool.

[poptartdom]

@Ephyne IKR. a few years ago i was 100% sure that the first black princess would be based in somewhere in africa. oh well...

[Lavenda44]

What a beautiful Tia!

And this is a white girl saying its awesome to have a black beautiful princess!

[reginaorlens93]

Finally- an AMERICAN princess =)

[Zelinkfangrrl]

@reginaorlens93

Pocahontas is American...

[wejamon84]

@reginaorlens93 -achem- pocahauntes was an american princess!

[mitogirl246]

0:25 haha lol naveen looks like he's admiring a fly or something. Haha

[CosplayCore]

I wanna say something about this Naveen, but I just can't. :< He was different in the movie somehow, though.

[ThePrincessIsHereNY]

That girl actually looks like her, and the prince is soooo sexy

[FemJesse]

@ChiruSan Clearly you haven't seen the movie. Tiana works hard her entire live, saving any and all extra income in tin coffee cans only to be told by the realtors that she couldn't have the location she wanted because they thought "a woman of her background would have too much on her hands..." Meanwhile the Prince is unlikeable for most the film.

The story is about working hard and overcoming adversity and making sure you get what you need, regardless of whether its what you thought you wanted.

[CosplayCore]

@FemJesse

I liked most of the movie. It just upset the traditional Disney kid in me when she wished upon a star and she had to work for her wish... But the music was GREAT! :D

[Tbonex23b]

Wow! The girl at 0;19 looks really hot:)

[sxystar41]

Princess Tiana looks like Jennifer Hudson.. might I say.. Jennifer Hudson would make a PERFECT Tiana !

[cutietermari]

Disney already has an African princess/queen, Nala from Lion King. Lol. But, Tiana is always perfect!

[skyjadeshe]

Awwhhh... hell-o Prince Naveen! Dayum!

[sunny082185]

Prince Naveen is supposed to be Indian.

[jazziscool123]

I think its cool we have almost every cultures princess

[misskaneza]

@MoonlightPlayist it is a big thing because black girls growing up need to see a princess that looks like them so that their self esteem could flourish. If you grow up only seeing white princesses you would want to be white. Trust me I been through it.

[BoomerAANGProduction]

I remember when I met them at Disney World. I got to dance with them. :D

[gymsoccerkids]

I wanted to meet her so bad! But my family missed the meeting times.

[MoonlightPlaylist]

Why do we need a princess of every ethnicity? I love Mulan but I'm not Chinese, it really doesn't matter. It is cool to have a black Princess though, just cause.

[exotichocolatefish]

@MoonlightPlaylist

Wow! Can't believe that you're actually asking this?!? Because little girls and women need to see princesses and beauty in all colors! We don't need anything! The fact that the world is full of people who are of different ethnicity, cultures and colors why NOT?

[MoonlightPlaylist]

@exotichocolatefish Of course we can, and I'm glad they are I just don't think it's as big of a deal as they make it out to be.

[TsukiKira]

How cute! :D I loved this movie! lol Yey for meet and greets! They're lots of fun for everyone XD

[babyramos13]

all we need next and i hope it does happen is a beautifu mexican princess and a red dress!! anyone?

[miena25]

@babyramos13 yes i see it for me already

[babyramos13]

@miena25 im lost 

[miena25]

@babyramos13 why ?

[babyramos13]

@miena25 idk i didnt get u

[straburyred]

@babyramos13

Seeing how Tiana's now part of the official lineup,a Latina princess can't be too far behind.

[babyramos13]

@straburyred yea hopefulluy

[JimmyXGregFAN123]

Love the music! :) Swing! <3

[Camilliusz]

@Panda21Luver

there already is.

Pocahontas?

Latino isn't a race, because many are mixed (mestizo) of white,indigenous people, some with african etcetc.

and Pocahontas is native american so yeah.

[starlite240]

@Camilliusz i thougt it was referred to as Latin or Mexican..and Pocahontas is not rlly Mexican. so yea. And btw every race is mixed...im just saying..

[Camilliusz]

@starlite240

Mexican is a nationality. American is a nationality. native americans reside in both those countries (but called by their own tribes of course)

Pocahontas is from the indigenous people of the Americas. (her tribe resided in US territory now)

Some Mexicans have indigenous in them, other mixed with the spanish. technically speaking every race is mixed, but some more homogeneous than others (for example, Korea, more than 99% korean ethnicity)

[violetsarntblue]

@Panda21Luver ME TOO DANGIT lol

[yunafantasy25]

OMG Then dude acting as Naveen is effin CUTE! :D

[iiluvSHADOW]

Now all we are waiting for is the 1st Hispanic princess! XD

[ytporter]

@iiluvSHADOW yea i think they should have princess of all colors (and prince)

[yunafantasy25]

@iiluvSHADOW lol, do we have an Asian Princess? XD

[violetsarntblue]

@yunafantasy25 Doesn't Mulan vaguely count? Not a princess but she's way better than one.

[yunafantasy25]

@violetsarntblue ohh yeaah I forgot about Mulan and yeah I think she does count. Do we have any other Asian princesses?

[javenetti]

@yunafantasy25 she does not count, the TRUE princesses are Cinderella by marriage, Belle by marriage, Tiana by marriage, Beauty by birth, Ariel by birth, Snow by birth, and to some extent, Pocahontas by birth as she is a chief's daughter, Mulan, is not, nore was she in real life, just a hero or heroine rather

[yunafantasy25]

@javenetti ok, thank you for informing me ^-^

[Bangles24]

@javenetti yes Mulan counts because she married that royal protector guy..what is his name? But she is a disney "princess" she still fits in the princess category, just like meg.

[javenetti]

@Bangles24 MULAN IS NOT A PRINCESS! In Disney or in real life, she was not a princess. The character Mulan is not a princess because her husband was just a soldier nothing royal about him

[Bangles24]

@javenetti yes sheee issssssssssssss :)

[javenetti]

@Bangles24 ok, forget this crap, i've had it, if there's one thing i know, it's disney, and mulan is not a princess, by any standards other than that her dolls were sold under the disney princess market, not all female characters made by disney are princessess! a soldier, a royal does not make! and she was given a position on the emperor's council, a position which she denied, NOT ADOPTED! so in no way is she a princess! end of discussion!

[Bangles24]

@javenetti hahaha, you're getting so mad because I think she is a princess? hahaha..PRINCESSS :)

[TheLostLenore]

@Bangles24 technically, Meg is a goddess since she married a god which is, in a way, a step UP from a princess.

[Illnessinducingx]

@Bangles24 Shang.

[ChiruSan]

@javenetti Why are you arguing about this? o__o Honestly, I'd rather Mulan not be a princess. She's the only female lead that actually did stuff- you know, being a kick butt soldier and all.

Mulan also seems to be the most popular (at least among my friends) for this very same reason. Although it's nice to dream and pretend to be a princess, having a strong role model like Mulan who takes action rather than sit around is more beneficial to young girls.

[reru29]

@violetsarntblue

mulan is a disney girl NOT a princess just like jane, megara is in the princesse category because hercules is a god

[kendallgirl23]

@iiluvSHADOW i think they working on it princess maite or something like that

[Camilliusz]

@iiluvSHADOW

Hispanic?

it isn't a race.

Pocahontas is native american so yeah. hispanic(whats "hispanic" anyway)/latino people mixed with either white,indigenous, or african. (sometimes even asian)

[springfairy556]

I want to meet Naveen.XD

[jean603]

at the end naveens expression would be like "what the faldi faldonza was that?"  0:21

[shavaughn1980]

Thats exactly how I picture Princess Tiana would be in real life. She looks so much like her.

[tornjakdaxter]

I took a picture with them and it made my entire vacation XD

[LilkaiD90]

the reason why we never had a black princess before princess and the frog is because walt disney was quite racist, if you look on dumbo, all the white people have faces but look at the black workers? :|

i am quite happy there is a black princess:) tianas one of my favourite princess's now :') x

[chitownbrit1]

@LilkaiD90 and the crows sand like they were in a menstrel show

[Hyattiee]

This is amazing, a black princess and she seems to genuinely be a nice person. =] <3

[smellyface101]

Ok riddle me this... when it comes to Mulan and Princess Tiana they will always have a girl that is the right ethnicity playing her, but when it comes to princess Jasmine or Pocahontas, its always a white chick :(

[princessshanna]

@smellyface101 True, true maybe its harder to find a the correct ethnicity who will commit. At least it works lol. Theres a company here who has disney princess come to your lil girls party as a guest and they have a white/black girl playing Tiana, u can guess how that looks.

[jpmpurrenhage]

@smellyface101 What ethnicity are you suggesting for Jasmine? She is Arabic in the movie, and Arabs are whites.

[smellyface101]

@jpmpurrenhage the ethnicity I suggest is the right one (Arab or middle eastern)

Just because they have light skin doesn't mean any light skin person can play her. Most East Asians have white skin but its silly to suggest a Japanese person to play a middle eastern person. Skin colour as little to do with it.

[franciso7]

@jpmpurrenhage

lol arabs dont consider themselfs white

[jazsan222]

@smellyface101 iknow right,they need to get the real deal hell. stop white washing

[Karamel2233]

I wanna be Princess Tiana : ( I gotta get my butt to Disney! lol

[brinasavko]

naveen is hot OOOOOoooooOOOO

[wickedphantomful]

@brinasavko the best part about hving them there is that there will be many hot naveens

[Neeka7701]

 YAY! she's my second favorite princess now!!! ( nobody can beat Belle :D) I can't wait to meet her when i go this summer!

[randomsentence]

ooooh she's beautiful!!

[ohmywhite]

i'm so happy about Disney finally accepting cultural diversity in fairytales. <3

But DEAR GOD Tiana's costume looks cheaply made. ): They could've made it so gorgeous.

[XxzeldawolfxX]

@ohmywhite what do you mean finally? what about mulan, jasmine, and pocahontas?

[TeamSeymour]

and Belle is French!!!!!

[houseofrules]

OMG!! i would lost my mind if i got to meet them! xD

princess tiana is gorgeous! the prince is finee lol

[ValkyrieCain123]

Wow Prince Naveen is handsome animated AND in reality! ^.^

[TeamSeymour]

@ValkyrieCain123 the guy who voices Handy Manny is also pretty hot...

I' just sayin'...

[mermaidamp]

@TeamSeymour Wilmer Valderrama.

[princessregime]

i like those two actors, prince naveen's hot and princess tiana is pretty

[chooche92]

wtf Naveen looks like michael jackson!<3

[princessshanna]

ew he does not look like Naveen!

[wickedphantomful]

@princessshanna ill take him though. :)

[TheC3C309]

We finally got ourselves a Black Princess (=

[MJsGuardAngel]

@TheC3C309 yea next stop a HISPANIC ONE!

[ringatink]

FINALLY A BLACK PRINCESS!!!!!!

[bluethunder25]

@ringatink IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME TOO!!!

[jobbeka]

@ringatink yeah, but it was still charlotte there was the real hero...

[ringatink]

@jobbeka Huh ? Her white frnd ? She did nothing how is she a hero ?

[jobbeka]

@ringatink She was kind even though she wanted the prince for herself... tiana didn't even do that... she fell in love with the guy, her friend wanted... 

[ringatink]

@jobbeka okay but the whole movie was about tiana not her friend and her frnd only liked him for his looks. she did absolutly nothing to help the princess at all.

[HimeBerrii]

lol i like when prince naveen looks up at the end.

[lucy710]

Who play princess Tiana character? I'm feeling I'm obsessed with her after I met them at Disney World.

[HimeBerrii]

it depends on which one you saw, they have more than one girl that plays a princess because of times and stuff.

[xXPrincessRosalieXx]

HOLYCRAP Prince Naveen here is breathtaking. *___*

[chrstine2012]

OMA Prince Naveen as an animate character and as a real person (in this video) give me the chillz.  He is sooooooooooooo handsome and charming.

[VANISHMANS123456]

The Naveen I saw in DisneyWorld was Chinese! Then a few moments later, it looked like he was Latino!

Weird dude, weird.

[HimeBerrii]

lol thats funny, i think they should just stick with hispanic, or tanned white guys,.

are you sure he was chinese? lol

[stazzylove456]

Princess tiana!!!!! Prince Naveen!!! I wannna meet them too!!!! lol

[xoxwhitehorsexox]

prince naveen is so handsome!!

[musicalchix]

Prince Naveen is TOTALLY my favourite prince--like, MAN!! :D

[Quidam]

Aw! Aren't they cute together?

[JamieEllescas]

at the end prince naveen is like ugh!

[Zeaky0arteest]

LOL.

[mieroth]

Prince Naveen is looking pale here. :D It's funny how his skin colour keeps on changing - even in the movie. I was like o.O Insta-tan! :D

[BLACKBEAUTY8989]

@mieroth i know have you seen the princess tiana dolls it just keeps on changing sometimes she is a really light color and sometimes she is darker like princess tiana in disney land is lighter then princess tiana here

[TearSoloist]

lol I can relate, I'm mixed blk and wte and my skin keeps doing its own chameleon thang! 0.0 lol^^

[smarticalcudcud]

i saw them at disney very merry christmas on a float and Naveen (not actually ofcourse)acted like his character on the float just like the movie

[AniceAct]

omg, Prince Naveen looks plastic! lol

And Princess Tiana acutally looks like the cartoon!

I bet that was fun meeting the "characters"

[BLACKBEAUTY8989]

prince naveen is latino!!

[DanielaINC02]

@BLACKBEAUTY8989 really?!?! How do you know?!

[PrincessOfAllRandom]

lol what is Naveen looking at on :25

[DimitrisduchessXD]

He see's Ray.. XD J/K

[JAQUANATV]

Wow.

So There's 2 Different Princes.

Anyways This Prince Is Cute.

Princess Tiana Is Pretty.

The Movie Is Amazing.

[closgurl4life]

that is hilarious. how did i end up inthis video?! lol

[Blythe93]

Naveen at 00:25 :O

[cutiebdaygirl]

ROFL

[soseztheleadr]

I'm glad Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen are meeting fans now. ^^

And I'm glad you were there to film this. ^^

[ebonygoddess1000]

why is there another guy to play naveen? what happen to the original one?

[hollykmck]

As far as I can tell, there are only two right now: one in the Showboat Jubilee, and one doing meet and greets. That's totally normal, since the show performers have to be able to dance and sing, and the meet and greeters have to be able to do improv. Onstage characters aren't the same people as meet and greet characters.

Besides, if they had one guy doing three shows and lord-knows-how-many meet and greet sets a day, seven days a week, he'd be exhausted! ;)

[jessmiztagrl]

no, its the same person who does meet and greets that does the show. went to it yesterday and they had to leave early so they could get ready to parade down frontierland towards the liberty belle.

[hollykmck]

Yeah, after seeing a bunch more pictures, you're right. And I -think- there are actually three Naveens... I dunno.

But it's weird that they'd have the same people doing shows -and- meet and greets. They usually don't do that at WDW.

[jessmiztagrl]

well the gaps for meet and greets fits perfectly with the shows so they don't have to have people overlap. And yes I know its unusual but its even greater when the guest can interact with the character they just met and they too remember you back.

happened to me the other day with naveen. :) oh and there's only one prince naveen ;)

[BLACKBEAUTY8989]

@hollykmck yea they were probably rough draft ones because i seen the same thing for princess tiana but its so great that he is latino

[SnoopyAndTheMouse]

she does it about an hour before the actual thing I believe there is another Tiana and Naveen

[apie77]

she is beautiful!! naveen is pretty hot, hahaha....i can't wait for this movie!!

[muffles12]

is princess tiana is joint princess at mickey judge tent ? and jeff did you meet new prince naveen and princess tiana ?

[BMT8685]

Tiana is actually meeting in a area behind the Christmas shop in Liberty Square not in Toon Town with the other princesses :)
