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.

Looks like a nice addition to the royal set.

I saw the show online yesterday. I believe it was live from Disney. I think it is cool, but I am surprised she is not at Hollywood studios since she is a Disney Jr. Character. Does anyone know where in Magic Kingdom her meet and greet will be? We will be there in 2 weeks. Baby Bear LOVES her.

Disney Parks & Resorts has announced a start date for the Elena of Avalor Meet & Greet in Magic Kingdom:

Princess Elena of Avalor first made her grand debut at Magic Kingdom Park back in August, with Cinderella officially welcoming her to the kingdom in “The Princess Elena Royal Welcome” show. You can continue to experience this show throughout the fall.

Elena is not part of the disney princess royal court (the offical disney princess lineup) the last princess to be added to the royal court was merida from brave. Elenas royal welcome is just that a royal welcome as a princess not a ceramony into the disney princess royal court.
No hate for princess elena, just stating a fact.

I'm glad she's doing a meet and greet, because my granddaughters love her. They're half Mexican (my daughter-in-law is from Mexico) and really "relate" to the Hispanic princess. Great news!
