Attending the Blue Carpet Afterparty for the World Premiere of Finding Dory!
~ A photo essay by Jen (California, USA)
| After the World Premiere of Finding Dory, there was an afterparty on Hollywood Boulevard! |
 |
| Jen at the Finding Dory afterparty. |
 |
| While everyone was inside the theater watching Finding Dory, the carpet area had been transformed into a party venue. |
 |
| The soundtrack for the festivities was provided by a band who played hits like Abba's "Dancing Queen." |
 |
| The awesome Dory sand sculpture received final touches throughout the night. |
 |
| There were numerous activities for the kids, like digging in tubs of sand to find treasure to take home (shells, gold coins, ocean animal figures, etc.) ... |
 |
| ... and crafts like painting ... |
 |
| ... constructing "jellyfish" from cups and yarn ... |
 |
| ... filling shell-shaped bottles with layers of colored sand, and decorating picture frames. |
 |
| At the photo booth, with the help of a green screen, Dory, Nemo, and Marlin joined me for a photo. |
 |
| There were food stations ... |
 |
| ... and a dessert table. My favorite: the chocolate-covered cheesecake pops! |
 |
| The Aquarium of the Pacific hosted touch tanks that attracted curious kids and adults. |
 |
| There was also the coolest inflatable playhouse I've ever seen. |
 |
| Another popular attraction was the bubble station. The kids (including Hayden Rolence (right), who voices Nemo in Finding Dory) were delighted to create big bubbles using the provided wands. |
 |
| As I watched
the children's bubbles rise up above Hollywood Boulevard, I
couldn't help imagining that each one held a wish, like the
one I made years ago, when I dreamed of attending the
premiere of Finding Dory. I still couldn't quite
believe that, over those past few incredible hours, my dream had
come true! My next wish? I hope there's a Finding Nemo 3! |

The World Premiere of Finding Dory was held on June 8, 2016, at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, USA. |
