Elena of Avalor comes to the Magic Kingdom with a live-streamed ‘Royal Welcome’

Disney Parks Blog

Elena of Avalor, Disney’s newest princess, will make her first royal appearance at the Magic Kingdom this week — and folks at home will be able to watch live on the Disney Parks Blog.

“The Royal Welcome of Princess Elena of Avalor” will debut Aug. 11 at 10:45 a.m. ET. Beginning the next day, Aug. 12, the welcome will be presented several times daily at the park.

As the Disney Parks Blog describes it:

Cinderella and Prince Charming appear on the stage of the castle, dándole la bienvenida (giving a welcome) to everyone to this magical kingdom and introducing their special guest from Avalor. Princess Elena arrives accompanied by a troupe of regal banner carriers and musicians and when asked to share her historia, Elena picks up a guitarra and joins her musicians in a performance of the song “My Time,” recounting her magical adventures and triumphant return to Avalor.

For us, this only begs the question: When will Anna and Elsa — or at least Anna, who is still a princess — join the official pantheon of Disney princesses? Come on, it’s been almost three years!
