Where Dreams Come True...Day Three

Our third day started out with a little girl who was begging to paint her mama's nails!  When she had her makeover at they Bippity Boppity Boutique they sent her home with the nail polish they used and she claimed she had sweet dreams about painting my nails.  

I couldn't let her down so while I laid in bed I let her start off the day with painting my nails!

Here's the finished product!  Honestly I kept it like this for a few weeks before I had the heart to take it off...she kept saying how beautiful my nails looked!
 Her princess outfit of choice was Cinderella and since not one piece of hair had come out of her updo we let her wear it up again!
 When we first entered the park we came across a Jedi training class and Riley was up for it and wanted to try and get in the class so we waited for the next one to start and she practiced up on her dance moves while we waited!
 They just picked kiddos randomly from the audience and we were so hoping she would get picked and sure enough she did...she was the tiniest one and of course the best princess in the group...they had so much fun with her!
 She had some trouble getting the light sabre to work but she got lots of help, listened to all of the directions, and had a ball...I love this expression she shot at us!
 Our little princess fought Darth Vader with all her might!

The graduating Jedi class!
After the Jedi class Jason went to ride a "Daddy ride" and I thought I would take her on the Buzz Lightyear ride...we stood in line and got to the very front and she wigged out and got completely scared.  So that was a no go!

We decided then that she was so over the rides and we would spend our last day just meeting characters because that is what just made her day!

So off we went to Pixie Hollow to see some fairies!

On the way we ran into the Fairy Godmother!
Once we got to Pixie Hollow Riley got to meet Silvermist first!
Then she got to meet the one and only Tinkerbell!
She loved talking to the characters and often we would have to remind her that other people were waiting in line too...she could have talked to them ALL day!

When we left Pixie Hollow she realized she forgot to ask Tinkerbell for some pixie dust...so cute!

We headed off then to meet more Princesses!

She got to meet Tiana...
 Then Belle...she just adored Belle and Belle seemed to adore Riley too!

 Next up was Jasmine!
 They had a princess coronation that we got seats to watch but they had technical difficulties and the show didn't end up happening...so we chowed down on some cotton candy and then they announced that more princesses just might come out!
 Riley got to practice her Princess skills!
 
The princesses that came out she had already met at the breakfast and they were different girls but she didn't even notice and loved getting to see them again!
The one and only Aurora!
Cinderella was next and she was so tickled to be dressed like her!
 

 Next up was Snow White!
 Riley was super chatty with Snow White reminding her not to eat apples but also asking if she ate her vegetables!



After all the princess fanfare we decided to heat to Toon Town adn check it out!


 Riley had a blast riding this roller coaster with her Daddy!
 We had one special princess that we hadn't gotten to meet yet and she had her own house that you could visit to meet her...Rapunzel!
The line was a bit long but TOTALLY worth the wait!  Riley made some friends while we waited and they all showed off their loot and played with each other!
 
Finally it was Riley's turn...and to her surprise Flynn was there too...I think this might have been her most magical moment!

 Rapunzel asked Princess Riley if they could be best friends forever...don't you know this just made her day!
 Getting their autographs!
 She talked non stop and even told them about painting my nails that morning.  Then she told them that if her Daddy ever fell asleep on the couch she was going to paint his toenails...they got a kick out of that!
 One more hug before we had to leave!
Riley had her eye on this Rapunzel hair from day one so after we met Rapunzel we told her she could go get it...one happy girl!
 She then danced all around in front of the castle with her hair swinging all over the place...people were stopping just to watch her because she was just in her own world having so much fun!
We wanted to end our time at Disneyland with Mickey and Minnie's parade so we headed that direction and our little princess was totally tuckered out!  We claimed front row seats for the parade and let her snooze until the parade started!
 Once the parade started Riley was awake and ready to watch and it was an AWESOME parade and a perfect way to end our trip!

 Just love this look of wonder in her face looking at all the dancing and details on the floats!
 Ariel came along...
 Then the princesses...
 One happy girl!
 The Lion King...
 Tinkerbell
 She got a handshake from Mr. Smee...fun!
 Everything was magical through her eyes!
 It was sad to say bye to Disneyland but we truly had the best time and can't wait to go back...with both girls!
We headed back to our hotel and ate dinner in the lobby...they had a great set up for the kids where they could eat in these comfy chairs and watch movies...lo and behold Tangled was playing so our little Rapunzel got to watch it while she ate her dinner.  We took turns eating and packing up...the bittersweet part to this trip was that the next morning would be goodbye for us.  Jason drove onto Las Vegas for AMOS and Riley and I flew home.

What great memories for your little princess. The look on her face is precious.
