* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/ElenaOfAvalor There's enough]] to give this a separate page.



* WordOfGod:
** The show is supposed to take place over a span of five years, in both real life and in-story.
** The elderly man in Elena and Cristobal's family picture shown in "Song of the Sirenas" is Cristobal's maternal grandfather.
** [[https://mobile.twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/1110782011688407040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1110782011688407040&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2Ftwitter.min.html%231110782011688407040 The climax]] of "Song Of The Sirenas" in regards to [[spoiler: Shuriki's death]] was shot in an [[AmbiguousSituation ambiguous]] way where it looks like [[spoiler:she was trapped in the Jewel of Night]], much like with the Fiero scene, in order to keep it from being too scary, but for all intents and purposes, [[spoiler:Shuriki is dead]].
*** Becomes clearer in "Coronation Day," where [[spoiler:Shuriki is shown in the dark side of the spirit world with other dead spirits]].
** According to [[AllThereInTheManual the Essential Guide]], Skylar and Luna are cousins.
** [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/1117465910493597696?s=20 Although]] there are no plans to show it onscreen, Avalor does celebrate La Semana Santa (Holy Week).
** [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/1090797141100916737 Shuriki was not involved in the death of Esteban's parents.]]
** The reason why we don't see Esteban in the Dia de Los Muertos episodes is mainly because [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/788124004787773444 he's visiting his parents' altars, along with some other reasons]].
** Sofia and Elena may be writing to each other from time to time.
** [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/1174552297797386240?s=20 Elena is Christian]], although it's not clear if her faith is a Christian denomination.
** [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/994668908278833153?s=20 Esteban is Elena's older cousin, pre-amulet]]. [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/800954328555003904?s=20 He's older but not by much.]]
--->'''Question:''' pre amulet, Who is the older cousin? Esteban or Elena?\\
'''Craig:''' Esteban.
** [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/764857748534104064?s=20 Higgins became Esteban's guard shortly after Elena returned]].
** According to the Podcast Princesses interview, Craig and a sizable amount of other crew members are on "Team Mateo" than on "Team Gabe".
** Nathan Chew liking and replying to posts about Gabe and Naomi as a romantic couple after the airing of "Norberg Peace Prize" seems to confirm that this is indeed the authorial intent behind their relationship in that episode.
** [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/904050537154232320?s=20 The crystals in Takaína originated from the Mystic Isles]]:
--->'''Question:''' Is the Scepter of Light's crystal also made [[WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst in the Mystic Isles]] like the Amulet of Avalor?\\
'''Addition:''' Initially, means "at first" first the crystal was made in the Mystic Isles and then given to the Maruvians to use.\\
'''Craig:''' It was not so much given as the crystals were hidden in secret spots around the [=EverRealm=]. The Maruvians found one such spot.
** According to Craig Gerber, [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/1298305614968283136?s=20 Elena is a Leo]].

** Originally, during the run of ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'', Craig Gerber seemed certain that Christmas (and to a lesser extent, Hanukkah) didn't exist in Enchancia (and possibly the rest of the [=EverRealm=]) and [[YouMeanXMas Wassailia]] is celebrated instead ([[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/933089270939598849 Santa doesn't exist in the EverRealm]], [[https://twitter.com/CraigGerber_/status/943892241545756673 Wassailia is the only winter holiday celebrated in Enchancia]], the "Sofia's First Christmas" book being non-canon), although as of "Navidad", the existence of Christmas and Navidad puts a dent in that.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** After learning of the demand for a Latina princess in Disney when he had to debunk claims that [[WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst Sofia]] was one (as her mother is Hispanic and from the Ever Realm's equivalent of Spain, but her late father is Scandinavian), Craig Gerber decided to create Elena to make up for it.
** Many fans complained about Gabe's seeming uselessness in situations and him losing a lot of battles within the entire series. "The Princess Knight" established him as a master strategist and tactician and ended up being an effective mentor to Elena, even spilling strategies that could help her win individual battles. Also, after Elena helps him develop his own moves instead of badly mimicking his father's, he becomes quite the awesome "Olaball" player. Additionally, his CharacterDevelopment is him trying to be Elena's protector to him realizing that she doesn't need protecting and instead needs people like him to trust her and assist her in leading more effectively.
** Like [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]] and WesternAnimation/{{Sofia|TheFirst}} before her, Elena has no love interest and the show greatly emphasizes the aspect of family. This is likewise shared with the rest of the cast barring older couples that would reasonably be parents. Perhaps the only romantic aspect in the show is that Gabe is said to have a BodyguardCrush on her according to AllThereInTheManual, but it isn't a primary focus of his character either.
** "Flower of Light" finally addresses the issue of what of any friends Elena knew before she was sealed the Amulet, an issue that has been bugging fans since the show started.
