Characters

We did a lot of things right this trip

One of them was making time to see the characters.

Jude was absolutely enthralled and Ellie wasn't nearly as shy as she was last trip.

 

The line to meet Merrida was really long so we tried to convince her that this was it.

Haha - she didn't fall for it.

 

 

 

 

 45 minutes later we finally got to meet Merrida.  It was totally worth it!

She spend so much time with the kiddos and taught them to dance like her bear brothers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Minnie Mouse was a huge hit, of course.  Jude saw her from across Main Street and went running over to her screaming "Miiiinnnniiiee"

I'm always surprised how much personality the characters can show when they are wearing masks and can't talk but the Queen of Hearts put on a whole comedy show.

 Ellie had a pen that was also a fan.  The Queen of Hearts used it to cool her pits  :)

 

Love for the White Rabbit too.

 

  Pluto came out right after the Queen of Hearts and we didn't even have to wait in line to give him a hug!

P r i n c e s s e s ! ! !

The princess fantasy faire is where the princesses reside.  The line wasn't too long so we waited to see Cinderella, Ariel and Aurora.

 

 Cinderella was very impressed by Jude's manners.

 Even though Ellie wasn't as princess crazy as she was last trip she still loved to have a little chat with them and see their beautiful dresses.

 

 Royal treatment.  Cinderella even escorted Jude and Ellie over to meet Ariel.

 

 Ellie told Ariel all about how she loves to swim.

 

 Hugs for Princess Aurora

 

 Happy kids!

It's pretty rare to see the princesses out and about anymore but on our last night we were headed back into the park to see the fireworks and there was Belle.  Ellie was so excited!
