I was invited on an all expenses paid trip by Disney to cover the #PetesDragonEvent. All opinions are my own.
I have been so blessed, and this was actually my 3rd time being able to attend a Red Carpet Disney Premiere (my 1st being Cinderella, 2nd being The Good Dinosaur) and let me tell you, it never stops being magical!
It started with the premiere party which was actually before the red carpet and movie premiere.
It was at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel which is a gorgeous Hotel, and it was all decked out for Pete’s Dragon!
While at the party I got to ride on Elliot!
And star in my own upcoming movie “Heidi’s Dragon” which I think will be a huge hit 😉
The food was delicious, my favorites were the desserts. They had miniature apple pies and Marshmallow Pops with green frosting.
But the dessert that stole the show were the Dragon’s Breath. Which were rice crispy treats in dry ice and when you placed it in your mouth you could actually breath “smoke”. So cool and lots of fun for everyone at the party!
After the party it was just a short walk down the green carpet (yep, this time the carpet was green, which is so fitting).
Here is a shot of me on the red carpet!!!! My dress is by Pink Blush Maternity.
I always have to get a selfie on the red carpet as well, it’s my tradition.
At the end of the red carpet we got to ride on Pete’s Dragon, Elliot. I posed on Elliot with my new blogging friend Gwen from FindingSanityInOurCrazyLife.
And here are all of the awesome bloggers all together for a pic on the carpet!
Of course, the stars of the movie were at the premiere as well.
After all that fun and excitement, I then got to screen the movie at the El Capitan Theatre and I loved it, and I can’t wait to share all of my thoughts about it!
Stay tuned for my full review of the movie posting tomorrow morning.
Another little bonus was that the next day we got a special tour of the El Capitan Theatre, and we were welcomed in an incredible way! Isn’t that so cool!
It was so cool getting to learn more about the history of the El Capitan Theatre as well as getting to see back stage and get up close and personal with Ethel, the famous organ that is played before each movie premiere. We got a group shot with Ethel.
Another fun thing was an awesome Swag Bag that Disney gave me! I absolutely love the books especially the “Elliot Gets Lost” book which has a significance after you see the film.
My experience was an incredible one and definitely one that I will never forget! Thanks Disney!
Stay tuned for even more posts from my #PetesDragonEvent trip!

“For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliot. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliot seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.”-Disney
