So the first one is going to center around the Princesses.
Laycee is our Princess in the family, and this picture of her is my FAVORITE! Maybe my favorite of her whole life so far.
That smile and those eyes were totally worth the trip!I think we happened upon Snow White and Dopey first. We found them in Germany Land in Epcot. Snow White used to be Lace's most favorite. She has since been replaced by Ariel.
I apologize for being in this picture. Lace was not a big fan of hanging with the characters we came across....eventually she warmed up. Khayle agreed to be in this picture because Dopey was in it. Khayle does not love princesses and I have to admit, that makes me kinda sad. I love princesses. I scored a very sweet kiss from Dopey. I was hoping to meet one of my idols, Grumpy, but I guess he doesn't really like people (neither do I).
This is one of my favorite pictures too! Do you think that maybe Dopey could be Tony's biological dad? I see the resemblance!Off in Toon Town, which does not have Roger Rabbit or Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, they have a tent set up in the back of the gift shop. (It's not a real tent, but they call it a tent.) In this tent you can stand in line to meet the Fairies or the Princesses. I thought it was amazing.
Sleeping Beauty was the first one. She walked over to Lace and took her by the hand to sit down in her 'tent'. It was so very sweet. We weren't rushed at all, and they got to have a conversation.
Again, I love the look on Laycee's face. I also love that we didn't know we were going to see the princesses, and I hadn't done Lace's hair. Do you just love the hat? It said Princess on it, and it cost a small fortune. (It turns out that in Florida, in January, it's freaking freezing!)
As a fashion guru, Lace is sporting her $2.50 Old Navy flip flops with her purple outfit. Those are the shoes she put on when I told her to change into her comfy shoes. She looks like she is hanging on every word.
(It doesn't actually get much sweeter than this!)Sleeping Beauty is another idol of mine. There are a few differences between her and I though: I don't have 3 fairy godmothers, my parents are not royalty, Tony does not ride in on a white horse to kiss me, and there in NO beauty, whatsoever, when I am sleeping.
Cinderella was in the next tent. I wasn't too impressed with her . . .
. . . but Lace was.Belle lives in tent number three. This Belle was wonderful!
Again, this smile and the look on her face are totally pricelesss. I am pretty sure that Belle was informing Lace that the pink hat clearly clashes with the purple clothes.
Belle spent a lot of time with Lace, and I think she was our favorite one on this trip.
Belle seemed to really enjoy her Laycee hug!Over in Epcot, we ran into Belle again. When she's just hanging around in France Land, she is just dressed in her blue dress, but Beast hangs out with her there.
Several of us got pretty sick while in Florida, and sadly, Lace came down with it at the very end. However, her high fever must have made her delirious, because she actually gave Beast a hug with a smile on her face.In Morocco Land, we got to meet Jasmine, Aladdin, and Genie. We had to wait for a long time to get the three of them together. The photo pass photographer waiting to take pictures was very creepy. Like Chester the Molester creepy. Due to the creepy photographer, the pictures weren't the best, but we were in a hurry to get away from him as quick as we could.
Mulan and MuShu were waiting to meet us in China Land. I felt kinda of bad because I don't think my girls have ever seen the movie. But Mulan signed Lace pirate ears for her and MuShu breathed some 'fire' on them. I think I've heard Lace talk most about that. MuShu was pretty hyper and reminded us of Rudy.
At the Wild Animal Kingdom, we took a train ride and it dropped us off at a place where you could go in and walk around. Pocahantas lives there. I had to do a lot of convincing for Laycee to believe she was a princess.
Lace later informed me that she is pretty sure that Pocahantas is NOT friends with the 'pretty' princesses. I think Khayle only agreed to be in this picture because Pocahantas is not wearing a frilly princess dress.I am certain that the princesses are the main reason Lace came on the trip. They were all so good to her and she loved getting to meet them all.
Sadly, Laycee was way too sick on our last day which is when we had planned to go meet Ariel in her grotto. Ariel wasn't in her stinking grotto when we were. Out of Laycee's two Disneyland and her one Disney World trips, she has yet to meet the elusive Ariel. Maybe next time.
And, if you are wondering, the answer is yes, I did introduce Lace to my friends Ben Adryl and Ty Lenol for the long flight home. Even after her introduction to my friends, she didn't sleep at all. I was kinda nervous that she was looking so bad and feeling so hot that they might not let her on the plane.
That concludes the princess portion of Disney World. There is much more to come. . . . it only took me six albums to post the pictures on facebook!

Oh what fun! My girls were all princess lovers, but sadly my older girls are starting to think they're too old for them now. What did Andy think of all the princesses? Did he think they were pretty hot in their skimpy off-the-shoulder dresses? I think that's why Kirk so willingly goes along with our princess sighting trips. I love Lace's flip-flops. Same thing happened with Noelle last time we went on vacation. She was in charge of getting her shoes, and ended up in Utah with only flip flops that were falling apart and 2 sizes too small. Crazy kids!
