Thanks for sharing, Janet2k!
AuroraBorealis, you're welcome. It is rare that I stumble into photos/videos of private theme park events such as that one. I wish that information were more readily available because it does prove useful to those who are planning Disney events. And that is why I decided to share it here on the Dis.
I have to agree that the cake was probably fake. At least partially fake. There is no way a cake that size could be entirely real.
I'm sure cake was served that night, but I don't think it came from the one in the photos. Those layers were too dang big! Can you imagine being served a piece of cake that is 2- or 3-feet tall?
Yikes! Of course, since I love cake (especially frosting), I wouldn't turn it down.
That was an amazing, lavish event! Those girls were so lucky!
Oh, I agree. The event looked just lovely. I hope those girls understand just how lucky they were.
I can't imagine planning an event like that when I was a teenager!
Luckily for those teenagers, Disney has a team of Event Managers whose job it is to pull off the impossible. All those girls had to do was show up and enjoy their wonderful quinceañera.
My sweet-16 was nothing like that: just me and a few dozen friends with lots of pizza, soda, and junk food, games, and a few dumb movies like Tommy Boy and Dumb and Dumber. But, I wouldn't have traded it for anything in the world. It was perfect for me.
I hear you on that. My parents had a house on the beach, and we (my sister & I) threw a lot of beach parties in high school. I think our most elaborate beach party included a rock band (instead of our normal DJ). The band's equipment kept tripping the circuit breakers. Thankfully, we had an electrician at the party and he rewired the main power box so the band could rock & roll to their hearts' content all night long.
That was probably our most elaborate party. Thankfully, Disney has their own team of electricians who handle an event's power needs seamlessly. No blown circuits for a Disney party, I am sure.
That is my favorite photo; the fireworks, castle, and horse-drawn carriages epitomize Disney magic for me!
I agree. And I hope you caught the final second or two of the official video because it showed the exact same scene as it played out in real life. Very touching. And nothing but pure Disney
~magic.~
