The panel discussion concluded with the video presentation of the 1965 Cinderella Movie trailer. While the lights were still dimmed Cinderella in her ball gown and the Fairy Godmother appear on the dance floor. “Hurry my dear the ball won’t wait,” warned the Fairy Godmother.

Cinderella dashed away into the Pumpkin carriage. The video screens display the film’s sequence of the coach rushing to the Ball and Cinderella entering the large castle and roaming its seemingly endless hallways. A trumpet fanfare then sounded and the curtain rose to reveal several couples dancing at the ball.

The Prince appeared uninterested but offered each young lady a proper greeting. The orchestra's Reception at the Palace fanfare became a simple minuet and the couples danced the steps that used to be a part of the Main Street Electrical Parade.

As the orchestra begins to play Sing, Sweet Nightingale Lady Tremaine and the Stepsisters entered and made a beeline for the Prince. Just as he was to greet them Cinderella appeared.

A lone muted trumpet introduced the romance with refrains of So This Is Love as the Prince and Cinderella began a tender waltz. Hundreds of flash bulbs flood the scene as each guest tried to capture this magical moment.

After Cinderella and the Prince sang of their newfound love the music crescendod until finally the full orchestra was filling the hall with the melody. Suddenly the large clock began to strike and Cinderella ran off  ... leaving behind her slipper.
