"Coronation Day" is a television special of the Disney Channel animated series, Elena of Avalor. It is the third season finale as well as the series finale. It premiered on August 23, 2020.
Plot
In Avalor City's Marketplace, Armando and Marlena put on a puppet show about Elena, Shuriki's takeover, Avalor's liberation, and how Esteban fled after Elena discovered his part in Shuriki's takeover. They also announce how Elena's becoming Queen this very day. Meanwhile, at Avalor Palace, Elena is about to drink some beverage when Zuzo appears. Zuzo congratulates Elena for finally becoming Queen of Avalor. Elena questions Zuzo about Quita Moz's prophecy and he tells her to just focus on her Coronation. Elena heads off for the dining room. Francisco intercepts her and takes her to the Grand Council Chamber. Once there, she finds that her family, her friends, and the Grand Council have thrown her a surprise party. Elena tells them she's still going to ask them for advice when she needs it. Everyone then sets off to get everything ready for the coronation including welcoming her Royal friends from other Kingdoms to Avalor.
Suddenly, Mateo tells Elena there something she needs to see. When Elena shows up in Mateo's room, she finds Isabel, Ixlan, and her friends waiting for her. Mateo announces that he found a spell he could use to find Ash and her team. He then uses it to show everyone where they are. They realize that Ash's group is in Nueva Vista and that the humans and the Sirena Kingdom there are in danger. Elena heads back to the Grand council Chamber to inform the Grand Council of this. The Grand Council gives her their permission to go. Francisco wishes they had forgiven Esteban when they had the chance but Elena tells him he can't be forgiven for what he did. Elena's team and Antonia then set out on the Jaquins with the Delgados.
In Nueva Vista, Ash's group is revealed to be looking for the Shadow Gateway, the barrier keeping the Shadows of the Night out of the EverRealm. Esteban is apprehensive as the Shadows of the Night nearly destroyed the Kingdom of Maru, Ash tells him that's why she wants to recruit them. When Esteban question how she can be sure the Shadows will help them she tells him that they will do so out of gratitude for freeing them. Chatana finds a clue that reveals that the Gateway is under the sea. Upon their arrival, Ash uses her magic to reveal the Gateway.
Suddenly, Elena's group arrives and attacks Ash's group. Marisa shows up to help them. Elena's group easily overpowers Ash's. Most get knocked out and taken prisoners until only Ash and Esteban remain. Antonia takes the prisoners back to Avalor Palace. Elena goes after Esteban. This proves to be a mistake as it gives Ash time to open the Shadow Gateway through which she and Elena fall through with Flo going after them. The Shadows of the Night come through and ask Esteban if he freed them. Esteban lies and says he did. He also tells them Elena's group is attacking him. The Shadows overwhelm Elena's group forcing them to retreat. The Shadows rename themselves the Four Shades of Awesome. The Shades introduce themselves as Hetz, Vuli, Yolo, and Cahu. They pledge themselves to Esteban and vow to make him King of Avalor and the five of them set off to conquer Avalor.
Meanwhile, it's revealed that Elena, Flo, and Ash have been sent to the dark side of the Spirit World. They get caught in vines. Suddenly, Bobo and the Zanies show up and set the three of them free. Bobo also reveals that only the Grand Macaw can send them back. So they set off to find him. Meanwhile back in Avalor, everyone looks to Isabel for leadership since she's now in charge due to being Elena's heir, Isabel tells Mateo to summon Zuzo so they can find Elena. She also decides to tell some of the coronation guests what's going on so they can help. Mateo summons Zuzo and tells them what happened. Back in the Spirit World, Elena, Ash, Flo, Bobo, and the Zanies arrive at the Grand Macaw's place where they meet Troyo who got eaten by a tiger-hawk sometime after he was turned into a snurtle. The Grand Macaw declares that he will only send the winner of an Olaball game back. Ash gets to pick her teammates from the dark side of the Spirit World and Elena gets to pick her teammates from the light side. Elena enlists her parents and Bobo and Ash picks Troyo, Orizaba, and Zipoltie who also got eaten by a Tiger-Hawk sometime after he got turned into a bird. The Grand Macaw announces that there are no rules. Zuzo appears and tells Elena that the Grand Macaw doesn't always mean what he says or says what he means. The game begins.
Meanwhile back in Avalor, the Four Shades of Awesome launch their attack. Isabel's leadership enables them to send Hetz back to the Spirit World by getting him to blast himself with his own lightning attack. Unfortunately, the other Shades prove to be way too powerful and they are quickly beaten back. Meanwhile, Elena's team is having no luck. Raul calls for a timeout when he notices how Elena is blowing her top over little things. He and Lucia confront Elena about why she's being such a hothead. Elena tells them about how hurt she is by Esteban's betrayal and her doubts about living up to Raul's standards. Raul tells Elena that his job is to protect the kingdom not to get revenge for what happened. He and Lucia tell her getting revenge won't bring them back and wanting it will only lead to bad decisions. Raul adds that he didn't always make bad decisions. He also admits it's his fault Shuriki took over Avalor. He stopped her from attacking Avalor's allies so she turned her attention to Avalor to get revenge. Esteban tried to warn him she would do so, but he didn't listen to him which is why he joined Shuriki.
Back in Avalor, Esteban and Cahu enter the palace. Francisco angrily asks Esteban why he's doing this. Esteban explains that it's because he has been ignored all his life. He only wants power so people will listen to him. Luisa tells him it will come at the cost of being a villain who is loved and respected by no one. Cahu turns them to stone. Esteban demands that she change them back only for Cahu to tell him he keeps making the same mistake: trusting those who pretend to listen. Cahu reveals that the Shades were just using Esteban. Meanwhile, Ash wins the Olaball game only to learn that the winner is the one who has to stay in the Spirit World forever. Elena is sent back. King Verago, his Guards, and the Sunbirds show up.
Elena's group takes down Vuli and Yolo and sends them back to the Spirit World. Cahu proves to be way too powerful. Before she can turn Elena to stone, Esteban takes the hit for her. Elena finally forgives Esteban. Her forgiveness activates her emotion magic which changes Esteban back. Esteban and Elena combine their magic and send Cahu back to the Spirit World. Quita Moz reveals to Elena that her test was Esteban and learning to forgive him. That night, Elena's coronation finally commences with Sofia and her family showing up. Amber tells Elena "We Queens have to stick together." to which Sofia reminds her she's not the Queen of Enchancia yet. Elena names Naomi her Chancellor, Gabe a general, Mateo Master Wizard, and Isabel the Royal Inventor. She then dances her first dance as Queen with Francisco. However, he reveals that he was only tired all day because he stayed up all night writing a song for the coronation. With that, everyone dances in celebration.
