It's your turn to be the art director! Spend the evening with Mauricio as he creates a story featuring two original characters and imagined environments with YOUR help!

Hosted by Disneyland Resort announcers Bill Rogers and Camille Dixon, the evening will feature a live interactive art demonstration, curated supplies for each guest mailed to you in advance, delicious snacks, a Silent Auction that you won't want to miss featuring one-of-a-kind pieces to bid on, and other surprises! When it comes to improv - anything goes!

VIP Guests also enjoy a selection of delectable appetizers sent to your home. Sponsors will enjoy a gourmet dinner from Alchemy Kitchen (for Los Angeles and Orange County) or a wine basket sent to your home.
