Guess who won a Disney "Princess and the Frog" MomTV Giveaway Prize Pack? Woohooooo!!!!
I'm a member of the MomTV community and, one day while perusing the site, was excited to come across a video that MomTV Co-Founder and Executive Producer, Stephanie Piche', had posted of Princess Tiana's debut in Magic Kingdom. Stephanie was fortunate enough to be in Disney World for the processional and official welcoming ceremony of the new princess, and she captured it all on video - lucky duck! After I finished watching the video and squealing with delight (because I really did feel like I was there!) I decided to enter the accompanying contest for a Princess and the Frog Prize Pack, which included the Official Walt Disney World Princess Tiana doll, a Princess and the Frog card game, a Princess and the Frog reusable shopping bag, and other goodies.
I never in a million years expected to win though because... well, there were a lot of entrants and, quite frankly, my luck just isn't so hot when it comes to the various blog contests. But since I wanted this prize pack sooo bad I said to myself.. why not not just go for it?
I'm glad I did!!! *cheesing* Thank you Stephanie!!!! I literally just tore open my box of goodies and am like a kid in a candy store.
Just to back up for a minute... you folks know just how excited I am about the upcoming movie, right? I even dressed my entire family up for Halloween as Princess and the Frog characters. This was my way of celebrating and welcoming this beautiful African-American princess who has been such a long time coming! So umm, yeah, I've been just a little bit obsessed with the new Disney Princess Tiana. I'm just so happy that we'll finally have "our" princess, you know what I mean, girls? I even made a point of beginning my Princess Tiana memorabilia collection.
I'm excited to now add my new Princess Tiana doll to my collection of African-American NRFB collectible Barbie Dolls. She will fit in quite nicely.
With only weeks before the theatrical release of The Princess and the Frog, the excitement for film-inspired merchandise seems to be building in a big way as anticipation for the film intensifies. Since its launch just a few weeks ago, retailers report that the merchandise has already begun out-selling other Disney Princess items by double digit percentages. Wow! I'm glad I started my collection when I did, as I have a feeling these items will be gone from shelves within the upcoming weeks. Can you believe that more than 45,000 dolls have sold in less than a month with 17,000 selling last week alone? Yes, really!
Are you as excited about the newest Disney Princess as I am?
Congrats on winning
just wanted to let you know that I gave you the Best Blog Award
