Diana – The People’s Princess Exhibition
Diana – The People’s Princess is a limited-time exhibition of hundreds of royal artifacts celebrating the life of Diana Princess of Wales. The historic event is presented in a massive 17,500-square-foot setting in the Downtown Disney Area, adjacent to DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive Theme Park, from now until November 30, 2009.
The Exhibition
Princess. Mother. Fashion Icon. Humanitarian. Legend.
Princess Diana touched so many people’s lives in so many different ways. Born Diana Spencer, Princess Diana married Prince Charles when she was 20-years-old, gave birth to Prince William and Prince Harry, and dedicated her life to helping those in need through numerous charities—all the while captivating the world with her beauty, poise, style and compassion.
Examine rare artifacts, videos, dolls and clothing—many never before presented to American audiences—that celebrate the story of Diana’s remarkable life and tragic passing at the age of only 36.
The Collection
Here are some highlights of the hundreds of items on display:
- A Royal Doulton figurine of Diana in her wedding dress that was crafted in 1981 at the time of the royal wedding. The doll wears an exact replica of Diana’s famous wedding dress.
- The black velvet V-neck designed by Bruce Oldfield and worn by Diana for her official royal portrait in 1985.
- The wedding breakfast booklet with guest names from the quadrangle at Buckingham Palace and Clarence House.
- A three-foot-tall doll of Diana as a young girl released by the Great American Doll Company in 1998.
- Five rarely seen royal dresses worn by Princess Diana.

Expedition Everest, at Disney's Animal Kingdom
Expedition Everest in the Asia area of Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park is a high-altitude, high-speed, roller coaster train ride for big kids, teens and adults to the “Roof of the World,” home of the inhospitable snarling beast, the Yeti, at the mountain’s peak.
Climb aboard a railway car for a full-steam-ahead adventure bound for Mount Everest. Your trek across the treacherous terrain of the towering Forbidden Mountain begins with a few scenic twists and turns, then sets out on an ascent towards the summit.
From this panoramic point with amazing views across Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, you plunge into darkness. Returning to the light, you see that the tracks have been twisted into a dead end. As the wind howls, you realize there’s no place to go on this expedition—or is there?
Careening into the darkness, you might get a glimpse of the denizen of this icy domain. Nail-biting hairpin turns hurl you forward and down sudden drops on the mountain slopes in a race to escape.
But beware. There, up ahead… waiting for you… lurks the Yeti.
