Sofia The First: Ready To Be A Princess on DVD {Available Today!}

While there are constantly new television shows debuting with claims that they'll be loved by children as well as their parents, we all know that finding a true gem that fits that description isn't always that easy to do.

Fortunately for us, one series that has kept my girls (as well as me) riveted to the screen has been the magical world of Enchancia starring Sofia the First.

A recent addition to Disney Junior, Sofia the First features the storybook world of Princess Sofia, an adventurous little girl who is learning how to adjust to royal life after her mom marries the king and she becomes a princess overnight.

Sofia quickly discovers that looking like a princess isn't all that difficult, but possessing the characteristics of a true princess – honesty, loyalty, courage, independence, compassion and grace – is what makes one truly royal.

I love that each episode of Sofia the First includes great messaging about things like friendship, being yourself, keeping your promises, caring, sharing and more, while still being fully entertaining enough that we are thrilled to tune in time and time again.

Which is why we were even more excited that Disney has made it possible to join Sofia in the magical and majestic journey to becoming a princess whenever and wherever we want thanks to the release of Sofia the First: Ready To Be A Princess on DVD today, September 17th!

Filled with five episodes to enchant young princesses-in-training, this 110-minute DVD brings the music, majesty and magical fun of the show (even with a special appearance by Princess Jasmine!) to your screen... so get ready to have a ball with Sofia the First!

Episodes include:

• A Royal Mess
• The Shy Princess
• Blue Ribbon Bunny
• The Princess Test
• Two To Tangu

Each of these episodes has its own incredible message and I love that my girls can visit an enchanted circus, meet a pet dragon and soar through desert skies with Sofia and Amber on a magic carpet ride!

Yet, when the high-flying adventures in Sofia the First veer off course, there are always special guests like Princess Jasmine that come to the rescue with inspiring advice about trying new things, staying strong and trusting yourself. I couldn't have said it better myself or picked more valuable lessons!

Along with the extraordinary songs, unforgettable characters, thrilling surprises, and ability to introduce young viewers to a whole new world of kindness, helping others and being the best you can be, Sofia the First: Ready To Be A Princess also includes a complimentary exclusive Sofia Doll Dress Up Kit!

If you're ready to get in on the fun and excitement (and positive messages) of Sofia the First, head over to the Disney Junior website to find out more about all of the ways you and your child can interact with this young princess.

Then be sure to put this newly-released DVD on your shopping list and, just to ramp up the anticipation a little more, download the following activities that are fit for a princess!

Other than the information and DVD that I was provided by Disney Junior, I was not compensated or enticed to do this review in any way. This po9st is solely my honest opinion about this show.
