big hero 6 signAs I am sure most of you already know, Big Hero 6 comes to theaters tomorrow- Friday, November 7th, 2014.  I had the honor and privileged to attend the red carpet premiere at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood, CA.  This was my 3rd Disney red carpet premiere but it wasn’t any less amazing or special.  I am so excited to be able to share with my readers all about my experience so here goes.
Big Hero 6 ticketA group of 24 other bloggers and I got all dolled up and hit the red carpet.  Here’s what I wore.  Next time remind me to wear more comfortable shoes, ok?  Going from sneakers and sandals all the time to heels 2 nights in a row was a little hard on this mommy’s tootsies!

walking the red carpetTo the left of us there were several stars who were getting photographed, signing autographs, and doing interviews.  Once we passed through the red carpet we were led to the famous El Capitan theater.  As we were walking into the theater we saw Josh Gad (the voice of everybody’s favorite snowman, Olaf) walking in right next to us.  We grabbed our popcorn and drinks and made our way to our seats.  On the way to our seats I stopped to take a picture with Calum Worthy from Disney Channel’s Austin and Ally.  Having 2 tween daughters I think I get even more excited to see the teen stars of Disney shows then t.v./movie stars!  It is so amazing to look around the theater and see stars sitting right there with us.  I’m not sure what it is like at other red carpet premieres but at Disney premieres the stars sit among everyone else.  I knew this from my previous experience but it is always surreal to look around and spot the stars.

big hero 6 photo oppsThere was also a room with fun activities such as a Disney Infinity Gaming Area (I’ll be telling you more about Disney Infinity 2.0 in an upcoming post). I tried my hand at the bean bag toss and totally embarrassed myself.  I tossed the bean bag and it missed the hole it was supposed to go into and bounced off of the Baymax that was in the background.  It actually almost bounced into the hole AFTER it bounced off of Baymax.  Yeah, that takes talent.  Then I was laughing so hard the next 2 tries that I just couldn’t get the beanbag into the hole.
big hero 6 party funAnother favorite spot at the after party was the green screen photo area where I took several pictures with fellow bloggers.  Don’t we look cute? I have to say my favorite part of the night was the one that made me a VERY COOL mommy according to my daughters.  Check out how a celebrity and I surprised my girls with a cute video.
It was such an amazing night and I feel so blessed to have been able to experience it.  I’ll leave you with a picture of all of the bloggers on the red carpet and one of the official cast group pictures courtesy of Disney.
