Princesses and the Peach

The first day at Disneyland we found out there was a Princess Walk, we went over so that Peach could meet the Princesses and as we got in line one of the cast members said, "Just to let you know, the wait is about an hour and a half. " Well we hadn't been there very long and we didn't want to burn an hour and a half, when the boys didn't have ANY interest in anything that wasn't a ride, so we thought, "Eh, we'll come back later." So later we dropped by and they said the wait was two hours and that was as good as it would get for the rest of the day. Can you believe it? So we rolled in on Disney Day Two, ran straight to Indiana Jones and then Peach and I hightailed it over to the Princess Walk, where the wait first thing in the morning was only an hour! We were very patient for the first 20 minutes. Then she decided she was hungry. Of course I couldn't get out of the line to get her something, although one of the concession stands was within sight, I couldn't leave her alone in the line. So the whining started. Then the little girl behind us got a bag of Doritos. Then the mother in front of us went to get her little girl some popcorn while her friend held their place in line. The whining grew louder. Then she got tired from standing. Cause you know, we've been standing for at least 25 minutes now. It turned out to be a grueling hour and twenty minute wait. A wait in which at approximately 40 minutes in, you could have heard me say "NO! We're not leaving! You wanted to see the Princesses and we're gonna see the princesses!" There was some pouting a little more whining, some cajoling, and then FINALLY, it was our turn for this....
EEEK! It's Sleeping Beauty! And she gave Peach a big hug and said "Look at your cute hair, you look like you could be my little sister!"
And then we went and met Snow White and in a very high little "Snow White" voice she said "How old are you?" and Peach said "Seven." and she said "Ohh! That's my Favorite number!"


And then we went and met Belle, Peach's favorite. She told her she was one of the bravest little girls she knew for riding on the Indiana Jones ride.
And they were all so sweet and she was so sweet and it was all so sweet that I got teary and started to cry...




Then we went and had her face painted with swirly glitter paint with little pink hearts and a little pink on her lips and if I'd had all the money in the world we would have bought one of everything in the "Princess Boutique" starting with the $50 white Belle gown. Walt Disney was an evil genius.
