| Fun family photo in front of Cinderella's Castle! |
When we've gone to Disney before, it was never really part of the "adult" agenda to stand in line and meet characters. Every once in a while, we'd get a picture with a random character (like Donald in a sombrero and all of the 7 dwarfs from Snow White!), but we never really planned our trip around it.
Now that L's almost 2, and in love with the Disney characters and Princesses, we made it a point to visit the characters that she knew and loved. I worried she might have a little "stranger-danger" since the characters are so much bigger in person, but she was excited to talk to everyone and give out hugs (except, for whatever reason, poor Peter Pan!). Instead of an autograph book, we took a photo mat from a picture frame and had all the characters sign it. Now we have something we can hang on the wall and enjoy to remember our visit!

| L absolutely LOVES Ariel! And Ariel was so sweet, she sat and talked to L for about 5 minutes about all the pretty shells and other things in the room. We had to go back and visit her again before we left the park. :) |

| L's other favorite character! |

| Loving on Daisy Duck |
 |
| Goofy was also really sweet -- I guess he may have intimidated a small child or two before, because he sat down on the ground as we walked up so he wouldn't be so tall when L came to talk to him. |
 |
| Seeing Snow White was almost as exciting as meeting Ariel! |
This opened up a whole new aspect of Disney for our family, and I was so impressed by the time each character took to make sure L had a special moment with them. They really committed to doing what Disney does best -- creating magical memories!
