Princesses and other characters

This was for sure one of the biggest time consumers of our three days at Disneyland. I also think it was some of my favorite time to see Maleah and also some of her favorite time when she wasn't waiting in line anymore. Here are some of the highlights.


Peter Pan on the path by Sleeping Beauty's castle. We asked about Pixie dust but he didn't have enough to share. Joe then asked about his sword and Peter Pan said to be on the look out for Captain hook and the pirates. Maleah looked all day and we just didn't see any.
Princess Fantasy Faire
We spent a great deal of time here, but Maleah loved it. See if you know how many times and what two princesses we saw the most?

Tiana and all the cousins together.

Sweet Ariel.
Jasmin
Belle of course.
Tiana
Ariel, this time just added to her signature and remembered Maleah and her special page.
Mulan was the one we saw not at the Fantasy Faire but at California Adventure. It was lucky to because I saw her on the was to the Baby Center.
Oh and Rapunzel and Flynn were in her Tower. This was great because you don't always get to see Flynn he is only there some of the time, especially at the end like when we were there.


Tiana, Princess and the frog.
Ariel just talked so nicely with Maleah.
Whitley's only picture with just her and Ariel. She just sat there very sweetly.
Pocahontas to get almost everyone.
Maleah's favorite Three
Well if we had know a few secrets about when to meet Maleah's top three we probabably would have saved ourselves a lot of time at the Princess Fantasy Faire, but maybe not. About six times each day there is a Royal Coronation Ceremony. They sing and dance and Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Snow White and Cinderella all come out. The first day we went and thought now when can we meet them, but didn't hung around. The last day we asked about it and low and behold wait 5 minutes after and they come back out for autographs and pictures. So then we got all of them without a long wait. This was Maleah's favorite and they were all very cute with her.

Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) I think Maleah's favorite.
Snow White, loved signing by her sticker and picture Maleah had drawn.

Of course Cinderella was very sweet too.
Pixie Hollow
Now this was not my favorite experience in the park. For one Joe went to go get Fast passes for World of Color that night. You have to have Fast Passes to see the show well and so off we sent him. Well 5 minutes into our 45 minute wait Maleah was not happy and wouldn't be happy the rest of the wait. Whitley fell asleep and of course you can't have your stroller in line. Then a group of 10 girls cut in line to make our wait even longer. When we finally saw the two fairies, Maleah was much happier.

Tinker Bell at her workshop.
Silvermist by Lizzy's book about Fairies.
We saw Alice and the Mad hatter at the same time as we came into the park one morning. The Mad Hatter came over and talked to Whitley like she would answer. As I got my camera out he had moved on. He was very silly. Alice was nice and signed Maleah's book before moving on to the next person.

Pluto has to sign books up on top of his nose. It is really good to, better than some others. Donald Duck just happy as can be.
Maleah got to see Chip and Dale but Joe didn't have the camera at the time, but caught them when they were off to get ready for the parade.
Minnie Mouse just loved on Whitley and thought we was so cute all napping. She gave her 2-3 kisses and just was so happy to see a sleeping baby.
Minnie Mouse was just so bubbly and happy.
The Fairly Godmother. She was very sweet and even gave Whitley a little kiss.
Not really a alive charter but posing anyways. The Lego Woody, dad and Whitley. Maleah was napping in the stroller.

In the end we spent a lot of time getting Autographs and taking pictures. Maleah loved it especially the Princesses. I have to commend the actors that play these parts because they really do try to make the child's day. All that we met were sweet and played their roles for us.
