One of the most thrilling aspects of my time in LA for the #DisneyOzEvent was walking the red carpet at the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre. The experience was a whirlwind to say the least. We arrived just as Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, and Mila Kunis also happened to be arriving. Inadvertently we walked just behind them on the red carpet. Yeah, it was amazing. I’ve included a ton of pictures below, because that’s what I would want to see:) It is quite obvious which ones are mine and which were taken by Disney. Somehow my iPhone camera just doesn’t take professional quality pics, go figure!:)
Prior to our departure to the theatre we congregated together at The Langham Hotel in Pasadena for a few pics of our red carpet attire.

All 25 mommy bloggers with our Disney bachelor:) Did I also mention we were filming the next season of The Bachelor? Just kidding:)
Once we arrived in Hollywood the giant Oz balloon was unmistakable. This balloon stayed with us for the rest of our LA visit. It is so big and beautiful, I have many more pics for future posts too.
As you can probably imagine the city was aglow with excitement for the world premiere of this prequel. As you can see from the pics, the red carpet was actually a yellow brick road! Of course that change is completely fitting for Oz The Great and Powerful premiere.
Immediately after entering the red carpet area we spotted Rachel Weisz! Her dress was amazing. Her entire look was sleek and sophisticated.

We had so much fun posing on the yellow brick road, though I underestimated how much all of us would be in professional pics like the ones featured above. I can’t believe the odd faces I’m making! Why wasn’t I smiling and posing myself?! Clearly I’m a novice red carpet walker:)

I thought all three ladies dresses were so beautiful. Having the opportunity to see these actresses up close made me realize how truly flawless they are. Their skin and complexion was perfection, as well as their figures. Leading lady I am not, but I thought I cleaned up quite well:)
Right after Mila came Michelle Williams!
Of course all the stars walked the yellow brick road, but by then some were already being interviewed.

Inside we were ready to watch Oz The Great and Powerful in 3D! The theater was spectacular. El Capitan was a fitting place to watch such a vibrant movie. But of course, I will save all the details on the movie for another post:)

Once the movie was over well traveled via chartered bus to The Lure for the Oz The Great and Powerful premiere after party.
Of course there was plenty of star spotting at the club as well. Zach Braff was hanging out with Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke. James Franco and Rachel Weisz were there. Michelle Williams was there with her good friend Busy Philipps. And Mila sat on Ashton Kutcher’s lap no less. Yes, it was a crazy evening. Not many pictures of the club however;) There were just relaxing and we obviously didn’t want to be obnoxious.

My trip to the #DisneyOzEvent was funded entirely by Disney, however all opinions are my own.
You were able to snap a lot of stars while on the yellow brick road! That’s awesome! So glad you had a fun time!
Thanks Liz:)
What an AMAZING experience. I’ve been seeing a lot of the tweets and Instagrams and I’ve been happily jealous. I love the photos – and yes, you do clean up beautifully! So how was the movie itself?
That movie was great! Definitely worth seeing “in” the movie theater!
