New “Cinderella Pony” at WDW

According to the Disney Parks Blog, Cinderella will have a new member for her magical coach.

Thomas Smith writes, “Lilly, named after Walt Disney’s wife, was born in March and became the first white Shetland pony ever born at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.   Her mother, “Lady” and father “Ferdinand” are Shetland Ponies, but not just any Shetland Ponies.   Both are Cinderella’s ponies that pull her iconic pumpkin coach for Disney’s Fairytale Weddings and parades at the Magic Kingdom Park.”

At 2 years of age, Lilly will begin training and could make her debut a year later.

For now, you can see her for a few hours a day at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.
