Vacation: Part 4 (The good stuff cont.)

After we met Jasmine it was time to go meet some fairies, don't worry the rest of the princesses will not be forgotten, but we will get to those later. They have the cutest little pixie hollow set up and the line for the fairies, while wasn't as long as the princesses, was still a good wait. And here, you only meet two fairies at a time. Again you never know who you will get, but Brooklyn was thrilled to see any of them and we were able to meet Iridessa and Silvermist. Silvermist is one of her very favorites, so it worked out nicely.

I love the look of awe and adoration on her face here. It truly was magical for her!


After we met the fairies, we headed over to Disney California to check it out. While we were there we decided to dine with the princesses. We had set up an appointment for the next night, but decided to go while grandma and grandpa were there. While we waited for our reservation Brad entertained Brooklyn by dancing with her on the pier. One of her favorite games is to play Sleeping Beauty. She sings "Once Upon a Dream" and her Prince Phillip happens upon her in the forest and they dance and sing together. There was no more fitting a place for her to play Sleeping Beauty than at Disneyland in her Sleeping Beauty gown. Brad was such a good sport to play along.After Brad and Brooklyn danced in the "forest" we headed in to grab our table and meet more princesses. We dined in a restaurant called Ariel's Grotto. It is a cute little sea themed restaurant and the food was fantastic. We all chose the tri-tip and it was quite delicious. But back to the princesses... Since it is Ariel's Grotto upon coming into the restaurant you get to sit and talk with none other than Ariel. This Ariel spent a large amount of time with Brooklyn and was pretty excited they both had red hair. She was super sweet and kind to her and Brooklyn ate it all up.

After meeting Ariel we headed to our table to await the arrival of the remaining four princesses we would meet during dinner. The first to arrive was Cinderella.

Even though she had met three of the princesses that she was going to meet at dinner already she insisted that they each sign her book again.

Next to arrive was a princess she was still waiting to meet, Snow White. I don't know if I have every seen a more permanent grin on her face than while we were meeting princesses at Disneyland, it was really too cute!

Next, we met Sleeping Beauty again. The dinner was neat because all the princesses spent so much time with Brooklyn.
And last, but definitely not least, and by far Brad's favorite, we met Belle. What more can I say about Brooklyn, she was obviously thrilled. She had now met all six princesses! She had not forgotten about Pocahontas, but I told her we probably wouldn't meet her before we started the day. We had accomplished our mission. Wahoo!!!Here is a picture of all of us at dinner.

We were able to get in a few other rides throughout the day, including the Jungle Cruise, but the day was really all about the princesses.
