We were preparing to leave MK after the afternoon parade, kind of sad because it was our last day at WDW. We had just bought a beautiful Belle dress that my 5 year old daughter had picked out for her souvenir. She did not want to wait to put it on at the hotel. She wanted it on right then so she could be a princess at Magic Kingdom if only for a few minutes. After changing, we found a little garden that she wanted to walk around in. While in the garden, a Disney cast member walked past then stopped and came back to my daughter, bent down and told her what a beautiful princess she was then she pulled out a double set of Tinkerbell pins, one for her and one to give away. My daughter was so excited. She took her extra pin and gave it to her friend whose family had taken the trip with us so they would both have one just alike that would remind them of their trip together. It really was the perfect ending to a perfect trip.

Ok, I have two "dream" moments from our February visit, that I must tell you about. The first one happened on our first full day at the parks. Of course we went to the Magic Kingdom first and while in one of the shops along Main Street, one of the Dream Squad came over and asked us about our visit and asked us if we would like to have a private meeting with a princess. With three little girls in tow, of course we said "yes". My best friend's husband was the only male with our group of six females and he REALLY got excited about the private princess meeting. Keep in mind Jeff is six foot two, bald, tattooed and was wearing a shirt with a giant skull on it. We all bought stuff to make us feel more princess like before the meeting, including Jeff (whom we later renamed Princess Jeff). When we arrived for our private princess meeting, they told us that they didn't know which princess we would meet. It was to be a surprise. Well, we went behind the curtain to find Cinderella (who got a BIG kick out of Princess Jeff). We all got some very special time with a beautiful princess that none of us will forget any time soon. She even taught us to do the princess pose properly! I have attached a picture for your entertainment.

I've got to say this "Year of a Million Dreams" thing ROCKS! I'll be sad to see it end.

Valentine's Day was my son's 6th birthday. We made him a bright yellow shirt with "I'm 6 today!" on the front. As soon as we walked in the park, a cast member stopped us, gave Matt a birthday button and an appointment time later that afternoon for a personal audience with Cinderella! She also gave him a sticker that named him "Honorary Prince of the Day". Later that day, while we were getting off "Small World" one of the cast members on the bridge spotted Matt, yelled for us to stop and came running down the stairs! It turns out that it was her birthday, too! She led my 2 boys up to the bridge and announced that they were honorary cruise directors! The got to stand on the bridge and wave to the boats that went below. Afterwards, she sent us all through the ride again without waiting and gave us a special certificate. Later, we went for our date with Cinderella! My son, who is naturally shy, was doing fine until she said she was going to tell him a secret but kissed him on the cheek instead! To this day (over a month later) we can't mention the word "Cinderella" without him running! We really appreciate all the extra attention the cast members gave to our guy to make not only his birthday but his first trip to the World so memorable!
