  • Merida’s Horse Gets Spooked by Balloon During Magic Kingdom Reopening

    Merida’s Horse Gets Spooked by Balloon During Magic Kingdom Reopening

    “The Most Magical Place on Earth” finally reopened after being closed for nearly four months, but guests recieved a bit of a scare on opening day after a horse was startled during a parade down Main Street USA.

    The incident happened during The Royal Princess Processional at Magic Kingdom when a child’s balloon got caught on the horse’s legs.

    The incident was caught on camera by a guest at the Magic Kingdom. Take a look at the video below:

    As you can see in the YouTube video, Merida’s horse was spooked by a balloon a child was holding and accidentally let go of, which then got wrapped up in the horse’s legs.

    Merida was able to safely get off the horse and it was then walked off of backstage by cast members.

    Real Squirrel Climbs on Princess Merida While Meeting Guest

    A squirrel managed to make its way into Fairytale Garden and climb on to Princess Merida’s dress while guests where in line the for the character experience at Disney’s Magic Kingdom on Thursday.

    The squirrels at Disney World are known to be pretty ‘brave’ and one actually decided to make a cameo appearance at Merida’s Meet and Greet.  One little guest got to see up close and personal how Disney Princesses truly do have natures touch when it comes to their woodland friends. Take a look at the cute video below:

    A guest who was visiting the park snapped a quick video of the moment and posted it on social media and it has received a lot of attention among the Disney fan community.

    The guests were giggling and really enjoyed the little bonus interaction and in true form Merida handled it like a highland warrior. She was calm and composed and didn’t break character at all, which would be a difficult feat for anyone, but it still just lends further proof to the argument that Disney Princesses can indeed talk to animals.
