One of our first stops was joining a Frozen sing-along. Since Hope was dressed in her Princess Anna costume, she and I got to sit in special "Princess" seating with cushions and a view of center stage.
Hope was focused the entire time, and had fun singing along. Between songs she looked quite serious as she listened to the characters talk. Then, when her favorite character Olaf came on stage, she lit up like a Christmas tree! "It Olaf! Mommy, it's OLAF"
We met a lot of characters. Gabriel often got curious about the costumes. Here he is testing how sharp Pluto's whiskers are.
The carousel was a big hit.
And of course we had to say hello to Micky!
Then I had to get the kids some Mickey shaped lollipops, because I remember getting them as a kid.
We also paid a high price (didn't know it would be quite so pricey until we got there!) to have lunch at Cinderella's castle. As we ate, we had visits from many of the princesses. Bell, Ariel, Cinderella and Prince Charming, and then outside was Princess Aurora. The lady playing Ariel did a fantastic job engaging a very shy little 2-year-old Hope. Both kids loved her.
But is wasn't all girly stuff. Gabriel enjoyed meeting Buzz Lightyear, and learning how to shoot webs out of his wrist from Spiderman!
And we had several rides on Dumbo, as I was trying to re-create a picture I have with my dad on the very same ride.
Then, of course, is the tea cup ride...
And a big serving of cotton candy to add some more sugar to all the fun.
What a wonderful trip! Now Gabriel can't wait until he's big enough to ride on Thunder Mountain, and is asking when we can go again. Sounds like we will need a trip to Disney World when we move back to the States!
