Disneyland’s Princess Merida Looks Just Like the Real Thing

Now that Disney/Pixar's 'Brave' is out in theaters, there's plenty of Princess Merida merchandise that little girls can get their hands on. But what could be better than that? Meeting a real life version of the Scottish Disney princess, naturally.

It's long been a tradition for the latest Disney princess to grace her presence along the happy-filled streets of Disneyland, Disney World and any other Disney park throughout the globe. They did it a couple of years ago with Princess Tiana from 'The Princess and the Frog,' which you can still see in New Orleans Square at Disneyland. Now another princess is frolicking around Fantasy Land, and that's Princess Merida.

Recently Princess Merida was found near It's A Small World ride soaking up the southern California sunshine. She doesn't have a particular spot in the park, as far as we know, so if you get the chance to meet the Scottish princess you should snap a picture with her. We would. The Disney cast mate they chose to dress up as her looks adorable and eerily like her animated counterpart.

Disney/Pixar's 'Brave' is currently out in theaters, presented in 2D and 3D. If you haven't gotten the chance to see the sweet new Disney tale in theaters, see it now.
