The Johnston 6: Dreams do come true!

From the moment the surprise was realized by Avalyn she was asking to meet a Princess. She thought they were going to be right outside the Airport door, then at the resort and the moment she woke up on our first morning at Disney she was asking to meet a Princess. We stepped foot in Magic Kingdom and she asked again! I was relieved I had booked the Princess meals months ahead of time- yes, we did both (it was just Avalyn and I, so I figured why not), I wanted to make sure she met as many Princesses as possible (and we didn't have to stand in any character lines). It was well worth it and probably one of my favorite parts of the whole week!

I waited to tell her when we walked down main street (as I pointed at the castle) that we would be eating breakfast at Cinderella's Castle! We road a few rides then made our way to the castle. I surprised her with a costume and she changed right there in line. So many wonderful pictures, so I narrowed it down a bit;)

I also surprised Avalyn with a Cinderella costume to wear to her breakfast! She was thrilled with it and didn't take it off ALL day!

The magic ticket!

Ready to get Cinderella's autograph!

Okay, I didn't realize how horrible the lighting was in the area where Cinderella was. I was too busy watching the pure JOY on Avalyn's face as she waited to meet Cinderella, I wasn't thinking about camera settings. The Breakfast came with several professional pictures of Avalyn and Cinderella, so I wasn't too worried. Wish I could have captured there little conversation and interaction, but it is a very fond memory from the trip. Avalyn meeting her 1st Princess!

At our table in the castle! She thought that the Princesses were going to all sit down and eat with her, but she was just fine when she realized they had already eaten breakfast and they had to walk around and spend time with each table- for us that meant her!

Bibity Bobity Bo! With her new magic wand- as the lights twinkled all around! She was enchanted- "How did they do that?". She LOVED her breakfast, they brought her as many French Toast sticks as she wanted!

Snow White

One-on-One time with each Princess! They were so sweet and Avalyn felt like she made true friends!

Ariel

Sleeping Beauty taught her the all-important Princess skirt lift! Avalyn used it the rest of the trip:)

There were hugs from every Princess!

Belle

Leaving Cinderella's Castle! It was truly a magical time for Avalyn!

This was not only a dream of Avalyn's it was a dream of mine! Kyle took me to eat in Cinderella's castle before we got married- I don't remember meeting any Princesses, but it was a wonderful time. I always thought it would be the perfect place to take my daughter (if I ever had one)! Well, 9 years later and I was sitting in Cinderella's Castle with my precious Princess watching her face light up! Someday I hope to bring all my Princesses!

She just had to tell someone about her breakfast (everone was on a ride), so she called Mau Mau (my mom)!

We walked out of the castle and she couldn't decide what she wanted to do, until she saw the Evil Stepmother and Stepsisters from Cinderella. She just had to meet them and turned out to be a very unexpected Disney moment! (There wasn't a character Avalyn didn't want to meet- she is still talking about who she didn't get to meet or who didn't wave at her during the parades.)

They were so funny! They stayed in full on character, snotty and rude- especially behind the girls' backs. We just laughed as we all watched and waited our turn.
