Elena of Avalor Coming to Disney Channel July 22, 2016

ELENA OF AVALOR

A few years ago I met Aimee Carerro at a press junket for Young and Hungry. She was so personable and funny. I really enjoyed meeting her. I like her character of Sofia on the show. I’m looking forward to watching Elena of Avalor with my kids because I enjoy Aimee as an actress and we are all fans of Stuck in the Middle so we like Jenna Ortega and look forward to her on the show. I was also privileged to meet Constance Marie and she is also a voice on the show. There are many actors on the show that I enjoy and some I have met. This looks to be a fun show all around.
