From once upon a time to happily ever after—all in a week!

Head-in-the-clouds romantic Madison and driven pragmatist Lanie are unlikely best friends, but the two would do anything for each other. So when Madison's life starts to fall apart, Lanie agrees to join Madison for the test run of Disney's newest vacation experience: Happily Ever Island—an immersive vacation destination, where adults can become their favourite Disney character for a week.

Madison will go as the iconic Princess herself, Cinderella, and Lanie will be Merida. It's not Lanie's idea of fun, but she knows Madison needs her, and besides, she could use the break from her strenuous workload anyway. And maybe she'll get to shoot things.

But once on the island, Lanie and Madison begin to drift apart. Madison finds herself either missing out or messing up hero moments, and forever running into their annoyingly perfect (and distractingly cute) vacation coordinator, Val. Meanwhile, Lanie unexpectedly finds herself swept up in the magic of it all as Merida. She strikes up a secret romance with Prince Charming—but there's no telling whether he's just playing a part.

With friendship, romance, and ‘adulting’ all on the line, Lanie and Madison experience a whirlwind week full of laughter, tears, and more than just a touch of Disney magic.
