Disney shared with us today the newest addition to Cinderella’s royal family, the adorable “Cinderella Pony” named Lilly.
Lilly was named after Walt Disney’s wife and was born last month, she became the first white Shetland pony ever born at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
Lilly’s mother, “Lady” and father “Ferdinand” are also Shetland Ponies they pull Cinderella’s iconic pumpkin coach for Disney’s Fairytale Weddings and parades at the Magic Kingdom Park.
According to Disney when Lilly turns two, she’ll begin training to pull Cinderella’s magical coach and then could make her debut as part of the team a year later. For now, Lilly is currently making appearances in Disney’s show pasture near the barn at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for a few hours each day.
A team of 35 ranch hands care for Lilly and 90 other horses and ponies that support our daily operation of carriage, wagon, pony and trail rides, along with special events that add that special sparkle across the Walt Disney World Resort.
I for one can’t wait to drop by and see her. How about you?
