Disney Adventure

Showing me Cinderella's Castle

We happened upon Snow White.

Ellison had a very long conversation with Aurora.

She told her all about Snow White, Cinderella's Castle, and the scary ride!

Cinderella was very prim and proper.



Ellison was shy around Minnie and Mickey,
but did give them a hug.

How you know the trip was a success!
You begin to realize you are in your 30s and have settled down, when you decide to head to Disney for your Birthday weekend. The crowds were not bad, the heat was bearable, and Ellison was ready to meet the Princesses, so it was a great day to enjoy the park.

As soon as we arrived into the park, we found Snow White and no line!!! Ellison was so excited to meet her, that we decided to venture on to the Snow White ride... bad move. 30 seconds into the ride and Ellison had her eyes covered and was crying, "I want to go home, this is scary."
Luckily Dumbo perked her up, followed by a meet and greet with Princess Aurora, Princess Cinderella, and Princess Belle. E was a chatterbox with Aurora and told her all about the castle, her visit with Snow White and the scary ride.

We headed on to meet Minnie and Mickey, where Ellison would talk to them but only at the safe distance on 5 feet away. She eventually gave each of them a hug and happily said goodbye.
We had hoped to see Tinker belle, our personal fave (I know I just included myself), but a 1 hour line was not in our future. So instead we met up with Princess Belle in the garden for story hour.

We also threw in a ride on Winnie the Pooh, Tea Cups and Aladdin. And then the grand finale, the parade!

So what were the favorite things from the trip, well here are a few quotes from Saturday evening...

"I want to watch more par-ates." We eventually watched some parades on YouTube.

Who was your favorite princess? "Princess Mermaid" (only saw her from afar)

What was your favorite ride? "My favorite was Snow White. It was scary. Winnie Pooh was a little scary, Snow White was very scary." (who knew?)
