INTRODUCTION

The "happily ever after" tale of Cinderella and Prince Charming continues for Walt Disney World guests as of May 2005 when a glittering stage show adapted from Tokyo Disneyland debuted at Magic Kingdom. The show picks up the story of Cinderella after the royal wedding depicted in the classic Disney animated feature, Cinderella, bringing to life the coronation of Cinderella and the festive celebration that follows.

ATTRACTION

Cinderellabration -- The Fairy Godmother appears and asks if everyone knows the story of Cinderella... then she asks if you'd like to see the rest of the story, her being crowned Princess.

First the invited guests (dancers) are presented. Then some of the special guests are introduced. These are all the Princesses and their Princes: Snow White and her Prince, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and her Prince, Jasmine and Aladdin and Belle and the Beast).

Finally Cinderella comes out and talks to the befuddled king. He calls for Prince Charming. Cinderella wishes the ONE person who made it all happen could be there... her fairy godmother, and she comes out again.

They crown Cinderella Princess, she and her prince embrace in a kiss, and everyone lives happily ever after.
