An Evening Stalking Princesses

We left the Magic Kingdom around 3:00 p.m., so that we could go back to the hotel and take naps. They were very much needed, as we had a very grouchy and pouty princess on our hands.

We then woke up and got ready to go to Epcot, where we could stalk princesses at the Norway Princess Dinner. Surprisingly, T balked at putting on a princess dress again, and instead chose her heart dress. She was also claiming not to want to go. Unfortunately, these are non-cancellable reservations...i.e. they charge you anyway if you fail to appear. Come hell or hight water, we were going!

Let's just say that my sister Aunt Dot's new nickname is "The Negotiator". She took responsibility of T and was able to "talk her down" from her near tantrum with a skill that rivaled the best police negotiator.

Once we got inside and T got a glimpse of the princesses, she was all smiles and grins. For those not in the know....here is T with Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
Here's T with Cinderella
T with Princess Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty.
T with Ariel from the Little Mermaid. T was very concerned about the state of her feet, and asked Ariel if she had shoes on. Ariel was very accomodating and quickly lifted her skirts to show off her purple stage shoes.

T was thrilled.

Now we're back in the hotel, and all of the Bippity Boppity Boutique glamour has circled the drain of the bathtub and been washed away. Such is the fleeting nature of beauty.

Meanwhile, my feet feel like they're going to going to fall off and all my muscles in my body are getting progressively achier...not to mention my wallet that is hemoraging money as we speak. Such is disney. Luckily, I brought some pain pills to take the edge off.

On Wednesday, we're probably going to skip my coveted reservation in Canada, in favor of returning to the magic kingdom, sans princess get up. Therefore, we can sleep in and take it slow the whole day.

I'm off to go to sleep. Too tired to blog about the pictures below...I'll do that sometime in the future.

Ciao!
