Celebrate 15 Years Of "The Princess And The Frog" With Special D23 Anniversary Event

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of The Princess and the Frog, D23 is inviting members down into the bayou for a special screening of the film in New Orleans, Louisiana.

What’s Happening:

Almost 15 years ago, audiences were first introduced to the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ classic The Princess and the Frog—all set in the magical city of New Orleans. To celebrate this marvelous modern classic, D23: The Official Disney Fan Club invites members to dig a little deeper and join us as we step into the story of The Princess and the Frog with D23 Down in New Orleans!
The Official Disney Fan Club is leaping into the swampland magic of the Big Easy, with a jazzy party you’ll never forget, and a big-screen presentation of the film that started it all, all set against the backdrop of the storied city and cultures which inspired it. This Crescent City confab is a can’t-miss moment for any fan looking to take a delectable taste of what Tiana’s wondrous hometown has cooking!
What’s on the Menu:
- D23 “Dreams Do Come True” Grand Finale at the New Orleans Jazz Museum: “Grab somebody, come on down! Bring your paintbrush, we’re painting the town!” Guests will journey on down to the New Orleans Jazz Museum for a taste of the food and the music of the Big Easy! The New Orleans Jazz Museum is a treasure-trove of history and culture, recounting the conception of jazz in New Orleans and its impact on the world over. In addition to a special reception featuring Creole food and libations, and access to the Museum, guests can enjoy a few dreams coming true throughout the night—with live New Orleans jazz performances, other musical entertainment, and a few sensational surprises sprinkled throughout. You never know who might stop in!
