My Enchanted Experience trip report

[Nicole220]

Last week, a friend and I decided to take a trip to Los Angeles to see the Enchanted Experience at Disney's El Capitan Theater. For those who don't know, the Enchanted Experience is where you get to see the movie, then meet all the princesses, play games, take pictures, color, and see stuff from the set. Even though I had seen the movie twice, I really wanted to do this because I never see the princesses at Disneyland. There they are locked up in their Faire thing, with lines up to two hours, and you don't know which princess you'll see. So I was excited to do this.

<O</OWarning: Pic heavy and the pictures aren't the greatest because I trying to get used to my new camera, and the lighting was terrible...

After the movie it was onto the Experience!

Cinderella, Aurora, and Belle stayed in the ballroom for meet and greets and dance lessons.
They greeted us as we came in:

Giselle, Snow White, Ariel, and Jasmine had themed areas where their meet and greets were held.

Giselle!!!

Giselle's dress is so big, you can't get in as close as the others. Everyone stood at the edge and tried to get in as close as possible. Her dress is stunning!

Jasmine:

Ariel:

Snow White:

Talking with her was depressing. She asked us if we had a prince...gee Snow, thanks for reminding me that I'm single!! :lol:

For the above princesses, everyone would line up in front of the "stage" and wait their turn. The same goes for Cinderella, Belle, and Aurora. They found a spot on the ballroom floor and everyone formed a line in front of them. All the parents and kids were great about it. No pushing, no crowding the princesses. They all waited patiently in line. Also, because of the amount of people inside, the lines were't long at all.

Cinderella:

Aurora:

I missed the memo that we were supposed to face the same way. :lookaroun

They had for green screen stations where they took your picture and placed you in some of the scenes from the movie.

After the event, it was time for ice cream!

:slurp:

I'll post my final thoughts later....

Thanks for the wonderful pics Nicole! I did The Princess Tea for Princess Diaries 2 with my niece, therre is nothing like the special events at the El CApitan! In my opinion the princess dresses are way fancier and more sparkly!
Im so glad you had such a good time! Now I wanna go!

Final thoughts:

This was a great event! Definitely worth the money! I was able to meet every princess with minimal wait, which is not commonly found in the parks. The lines weren’t long at all and there were no autograph books. Because of that, the princesses spent a lot of time with each person…it was very nice. I was amazed that the princesses were out the entire time. We were in there for about an hour, and they never left or took a break. The Experience also includes free princess makeovers, video games, learning how to dance and sword fight, a rock climbing wall, and the 4 photo stations.

Gorjus, if you have any other question feel free to ask. :wave:
