Girls now can hold their Quinceañera parties at Walt Disney World, with specially-planned packages at prices that start at between $1,800 to $20,000, Disney announced this morning.

Disney event planners, who've had decades of experience packaging weddings, now are turning their princess resources --ranging from fairytale linens to Cinderella coach rides -- toward the traditional coming-of-age celebrations for 15-year-old Hispanic girls, their families and friends.

Disney launched the new program May 1 with a special party for 15 girls selected from throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The ensuing party was taped and will be broadcast by "Show de Cristina" on the Univision Spanish language network on May 28.

Disney is offering the parties in venues ranging from ballrooms to intimate spaces in resort hotels to one-of-a-kind locations at the Disney's MGM Studios and Epcot theme parks.

Among packages:

§ A Reflection of You – A Quinceañera in the midst of the fireworks displays during "Illuminations: Reflections of Earth" at Epcot, starting at $1,800.

§ Dancing with a Star – A Quinceañera celebration dazzles at a designated Disney hotel or theme park with a multilingual DJ, a variety of menu options, with a starting price of $6,900.

§ Belle of the Ball –A Quinceañera ball for groups of 100 or more celebrants, starting at $20,000.
