Spending the morning partying with hundreds of princesses may sound too good to be true. Add in some splash time in your favorite princess dress and it’s the Best Day Ever! And if you don’t have to shell out Disney prices to meet a few of your favorite princesses, you are experiencing an ultimate #MomWin!
When you have so many dresses to choose from, picking the perfect dress for the occasion was a little difficult. After a few wardrobe changes, Bailey decided on Jasmine and Sienna picked out Snow White. We were meeting up with a friend who didn’t have a dress so Bailey picked a few of our favorites to share and we hit the road. Well that was the plan…after frantically searching for keys (bathtub), phone (daybed drawer) and Tulas (both in the car already), we dashed out and were only 10 minutes late.
We finally made it to Downtown OP and for a moment I panicked because I thought I had the wrong date (not that that’s happened before, ahem) but then the first princess emerged. Last year there were so many people that we didn’t get a chance to see the princesses, but we got to see the Mermaid. This year since school was still in session the lines were a lot less people so the lines were a lot shorter (another #momwin)!
The girls were so good waiting patiently in line. They loved showing off their dresses and twirling with all the other little princesses and smelling every flower along the street. They danced, they waved and we only had a few runaway moments.
Meeting the Princesses
When you’re 3, meeting a princess is the ultimate. When you’re 1, you could care less…you’d rather pull out every flower and try to see how fast you can run through the crowd before Mom catches you. When we finally got up to meet Cinderella and Tiana, only Bailey wanted to stay still for a photo, so it was all the more special for her. The Princesses from The Storybook Forest were amazing and so patient with each girl, twirling, hugging and answering the most important questions…do you like my dress?
Time to cool off
After all the princess excitement it was time to cool off so we made our way to the fountains. Bailey seemed a little hesitant at first but made her way in.
Sienna didn’t care…she was going right in.
After yesterday’s car wash experiment, Sienna has become obsessed with water hoses and water fountains so she had an absolute blast trying to drink all the water. We had a lot of fun sitting back and laughing.
Once the water fun was done, we dried off in the sun a bit and walked around the market. Bailey gave me more hugs than I can count and as we buckled in, she whispered…
Best Day Ever…love you Mommy
Total #MomWin! Hope today is as memorable for you as it was for us!
