Dreams Really Do Come True at Disneyland!!

Monday morning, our day began super early again. This time the girls were dancing at actual Disneyland instead of California Adventures. Grant's aunt Janet, uncle Mike, and cousin Missy and friend, joined us for the day. It was really nice to see them again. :) The girls did wonderfully again and the crowd was quite big. Dream #1 came when little Tierra got to lead her class through the center of the dance during "We're All in this Together." As you can see, she was really excited about this. She has never done that. After their dances, we waited for the girls and Grant snapped this funny picture of our friends Daren and Sandy. Next, we waited in line yet again to meet some more princesses (my goal is always to meet the most popular 6.) As we waited the most important 4 princesses signed their own books and I held the 5th one in my arms. ;) Aurora loved meeting Aurora again so much that she couldn't take her eyes off of her. :) Sariah loved meeting her favorite princess Cinderella. She has always been my favorite too and this Cinderella was definitely my favorite character to meet because she was so sweet with the girls. Our 3rd princess we had the chance to meet in this line was Ariel (the modest Ariel), which Riana loved because she is her favorite. Right as we were leaving, they brought Belle in, the only princess we hadn't met and Karina's favorite! I was about done waiting in line over and over, when they don't ever tell you who will be there when you get up there. Who knows how many more hours of lines we were going to have to wait in to see Belle?? So my husband, the King of the Power of Suggestion, talked to 2 workers and explained our situation and asked if there was any way we could go see Belle. They said they couldn't let us. Right then, the girl in charge walked by and told us to wait off to one side. (She had seen us several times.) Anyway, we waited for about 5-10 minutes and then she came over and said we could go see Belle!!!! I almost started crying and thanked her profusely! She made 2 of our dreams come true!! Dream #2- Karina meets her favorite princess! Dream #3- come true, meeting all the princesses at Disneyland!! Karina loved meeting Belle. She sat by her and just kept feeling her dress. It was so cute. Belle was so sweet with her and even suggested that we take a picture with just her and Nina. It was just awesome! Next we went to meet Tinkerbell and friends but she was about to be in the parade, so we sat down and waited for the parade to start. Dream #4- or more like a magical moment, during the parade, Sleeping Beauty's 3 fairies came up to our sleeping baby Aurora and said, "Oh look! You have a Sleeping Beauty of your own." It was so neat! I replied, "Yes, and her name is even Aurora!!" What a magical moment! After the parade, we went straight over and met Tinkerbell and her friends. They were the last characters we met. After this, we went on several rides, thanks to Dream #5!! When we were waiting for our girls to dance, a few Disneyland workers were handing out Dream FastPasses. They were awesome and had a fast pass to all the big rides!! We happened to be in the right place at the right time. They also told us to go to City Hall after the girls were done and get one for them, so we did! These passes and Stroller Pass or Child Switch (which we used the whole trip-- the person waiting with the stroller gets to go right onto the ride after the others get back) were a lifesaver!! They saved us hours and hours of time!! We were able to go on several rides including Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain (which Sariah braved and went on a second time and loved it), Autopia, California Screamin, and many more!!! It was so awesome! We had a wonderful trip to Disneyland!! :)
