After that, it was finally time for the Royal Welcome to begin! The program began with Avalor’s Royal Singers taking the stage and singing one of the songs from the show. They were followed up by Jim MacPhee, Senior Vice President of Walt Disney World Parks. MacPhee spoke of how Elena was a special and inspiring teenager who is learning to rule her kingdom, then introduced Nancy Kanter and a Girl Scout executive to present the first “Elena of Avalor Scepter of Light”award to a Girl Scout who demonstrated an exceptional commitment to community service. This award was given to Ashley Chico, a Girl Scout from the Citrus Council in Orlando, who created a project to bring learning resources to classrooms that will encourage girls to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).

After the women exited the stage, Cinderella and Prince Charming stepped forward to introduce Elena and welcome her to their kingdom. Elena’s processional was led in by flags and musicians and she was riding in a horse-drawn carriage through the crowd, followed by a group of Girl Scouts. Once on stage, Elena swore to protect and defend Avalor, and told the royals that anything is possible with familia and friends. As music is a large part of the Elena story, she then sang the show’s signature song “My Time.” She concluded the presentation by telling everyone to “Discover the potential in yourself to create your own adventure.”
