It was a
great opportunity to witness as The SM Group officially announced its partnership
with the best family entertainment in the world Walt Disney Company to bring
the Disney brand in SM stores. The two companies aim to bring Disney at SM’s entertainment
property. The extravagant event that was held in SM MOA Arena last Sept 1, 2015,
and was attended by extreme people in
the business.

While
entering the venue, I was fascinated of what I seen. Tiffany chairs for the
guest, luxury sofa for VIP, buffet table for each side of the venue, but what catches
my attention is the dessert tables in every corner. Everyone is enjoying the
food while the orchestra is playing. The show starts with the opening song from
Mandaluyong children’s choir singing “When you wish upon a star” from a
Walt Disney movie Pinocchio sung solo by Noel Comias. After the opening song is
the introduction of the SM and Walt Disney Company. Talking back where they
came from, how the business started until they succeed and become a legend.

I really admire how Henry Sy Sr. talked about
the partnership with the Walt Disney. SM company aim to get “Disney Experience”
in SM’s many recreation and entertainment. Paul Candland, President of the Walt
Disney Company Asia, said that Disney would want to become part of their
cultural fabric in the Philippines. But the highlight on the show is when the
Star Wars effect drama of unifying the partnership, represented by Hans Sy,
President of SM Prime Holdings, and Paul Candland, wherein they act like force
in the said upcoming movie.

One amazing
production number that night is the Star Wars dance wherein Jedi fly high in the open space of MOA Arena, this is a teaser for the coming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The prod is
very nice, the lights and the sound complete the perfect effect of the
story.

Listening to my favorite Disney
song in my favorite Disney movie brings out the child in me. I feel giddy when
Moresette Amon sang Part of your World from the movie “Little Mermaid” I was
smiling the whole time while listening to her, she sang the song as if she is
Ariel in the Little Mermaid. Of course, who would forget the theme song of
Pocahontas “Colors of the Wind” J She
nailed every song that she sang. I am in love ♥♥♥

The
highlight of the event is the appearance of Mickey and Friends. Everyone is
thrilled to see them. Goofy, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Minnie
Mouse where present in the event. Seeing
them brings back my
childhood memories and my inner kid. J
I
could never feel tired and sleepy while watching the show. Everything is
spectacular and worth every sleepless hour I spent just to attend the event. I
would miss a big thing in my life if I let the opportunity pass. J Thank you SM for inviting
us, and for my friend who invited me to the event.
