IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE CORONAVIRUS:

EVEN THOUGH THE DATE ON THIS EVENT STATES THAT IT'S HAPPENING ON 3/21- THE EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL IT IS CONSIDERED SAFE TO ENJOY TOGETHER. We are on a temporary hold but totally ready to enjoy this year's second gala with all of you. The minute that DHEC, the CDC, the city of Myrtle Beach and the Governor's office declare public gatherings safe again, we will let you all know immediately on our Facebook page "The Myrtle Beach Princess Gala" and then apply the tickets already purchased for the 21st directly to the new date. Please "like" our FB page if you have not done so already. It's the best way to stay in the loop in general but especially during this time. If you prefer to get a refund instead of holding your place, please do so before the 20th. The logistics of Eventbrite do not allow us to set the date for pending and if we take the date out completely, all of your tickets will be canceled. So we've determined this is the best way to handle it while honoring your tickets and giving you first priority before they sell out again once the new date is announced to the public. Thank you for hanging in there with us during this unprecedented health crisis. When it's over, we will enjoy the royal gathering even more as we'll have a lot to celebrate together!

If you have any questions during this pending event, don't hesitate to contact your fairy godmother at CindraLM@aol.com with Princess Gala in the subject line.

The Princess Gala is a magical morning where you, and the special child you bring to the event, create a charming memory during an enchanting morning at the Market Common in Myrtle Beach. And while you are enjoying this royal, make-believe time, your ticket will be supporting Fostering Hope, a local nonprofit organization that helps children in crisis; we are honored to be associated with this wonderful organization that gives love and support to children during difficult times. Tickets are only available in advance and must be purchased at this site for each child and each adult attending. Please don't wait too long because we feel terrible when anyone is disappointed after they sell out.

Every year we add some surprises to keep things fresh and this year we've got some doozies! For example, we're having a special breakfast at a different location at the Market Common that's not far from the Movie Theatre. The address is 3071 Deville St and when the theater is on your left, our breakfast location is on the right a few blocks down. You can park free in the Deville Parking garage if you'd like, which is catty corner to the royal breakfast. We'll be annoucing a few other surprises on our facebook page so please "like" us at "The Myrtle Beach Princess Gala" so we can keep you in the loop!

To celebrate our 11TH Annual Princess Gala, we've decided to give you these two Saturday morning choices: March 14 and March 21!! (In the upper right, click "Select a different date" to choose which date you are buying tickets for; it's above the "location".) These all-inclusive tickets for the full morning are still just $30 each but if you decide to join us for all the fun of BOTH PRINCESS GALAS, we offer a reduced rate of $25 each. .

We've included again an AUTOGRAPH BOOK option for your child and our amazing cast members will be delighted to sign it for them during the morning. If you are attending both events- only one is needed but please remember to bring it along to the second gala with you. You'll find the autograph books on the bottom of the ticket options once you choose a date. (Either date selected gives you the option of signing up for both Princess Galas or to purchase the autograph book.)

At 8:30 your morning begins with a special surprise breakfast this year where you'll meet your Fairy Godmother who will grant wishes and hugs. There will be a few other new surprise hosts that you and your child will be delighted to see. Then the "Real Princesses" will arrive with great fanfare! (Since you always ask where we get such incredible, Disney-ish Real Princesses who love spending time with your little ones, we'll share that secret. In real life, they are local tv celebrities, professional entertainers and characters from The Character Company. Don't forget....that information is just between us adults, ok?)

After breakfast, your little prince or princess can practice their official royal wave during a short parade to meet Prince Charming! At the end of the parade, you will receive a royal welcome from Lord Farmer of the Royal Stone Theatre befitting your presence. Don't be surprised if Prince Charming shows up with his unicorn (provided by the Fidelis Foundation) and then it's time to pose for the official royal, group photograph taken by Creative Xpressions Photography and PHV Photo. Your child will learn a dance, meet the unicorn, get a magical coin from the prince and have great fun mingling with their kingdoms. Next, you'll enjoy a princess-themed movie at the Grand 14 - Stone Theater with popcorn and a drink. *The movie is princess themed and usually lasts for reasonable timespan for you and your child. Around 11:30 it's time to start to say goodbye but not before your little princess or prince receives their special goody bag filled with things for both of you. And before you go, you will each get a delicious, magical cupcake made extra special by Coccadotts Cake Shop.

As you leave we hope you'll feel warm inside for creating a new, wonderful memory while also supporting Fostering Hope who are helping children that are entering the Foster Care system after suffering a tragedy such as a house fire. Fostering Hope makes a traumatic time feel less hopeless and showers them with love in the form of clothing from head to toe and even Christmas Presents to hundreds of children. Approximately 200 children are served thru Fostering Hope every month.

FINAL WORDS AND RULES OF THE EVENT:

It's mandatory for your child to attend in full princess (or prince) costume and that at least one paying adult attends with them**. (Of course you may have more than one paying adult per child and many do.) Pre-ordered tickets** at this site are a must; there will be no tickets available at the door and we will most likely sell out so please order soon. Our all-inclusive price is $30 per ticket per event - plus Eventbrite charges a small processing fee. If you wish to attend both mornings you will get a discounted price of $25 per ticket. This year again you also have an opportunity to purchase an autograph book in advance when ordering your tickets. Every member of our amazing cast will be delighted to sign it for your little one and we will have special times set aside to do that. We ask that the adults carefully monitor these books and put their child's name in it as soon as possible after receiving the books at the event.

**One necessary legal thing we have to add about the tickets: "by proceeding with ticket purchases you are agreeing to be solely responsible for the safety and well-being of the child you bring to the Princess Gala." ** (In other words, we're not babysitting them or taking responsibility for them during the Gala. You and your child/grandchild/neice are enjoying the event together and you are watching over them. Kind of like if you took them to Disneyworld.)

Our ticket prices includes full, online access to all pictures taken by our royal photographers such as the official group portrait and many amazing moments captured during breakfast, the parade and their time at the theatre.
