As a unit of Disney Consumer Products, Disney Publishing Worldwide presented live readings of Cinderella by the Fairy Godmother. A group of young children gathered around Fairy Godmother as she read the story from a large StoryTime book filled with pictures. This was a wonderful Fairy Godmother that involved the children in every part of the story

Disney Publishing Worldwide creates and publishes a wide variety of stories, comics, and learning materials across books, magazines, and digital media. Along with the readings from the Fairy Godmother, they presented artists behind popular Disney stories; a hair styling by Sephora with the help of a Disney Princess Royal Salon app; and lithographs from Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse, and Sleeping Beauty. Their books were displayed in the exhibit area.
