jenseib Posted September 3, 2013 Author #876 Share Posted September 3, 2013 She really gets into this. Close your eyes tight to be sure the wish sticks! And Snow came twirling by then. This is an attractive pose. Time for dessert! Claire chose the decorate your cupcake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 3, 2013 Author #877 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I don’t remember exactly what mine was. I think it was a seasonal dessert and I think it was some sort of pumpkin cheesecake. Claire really put a lot of time and effort in her cupcake decorating. And knowing her, she probably only took one bite, or licked off the frosting. So where are the characters? Yeah, we were wondering too. We actually were close to done eating before any made it to our table. First up,…Snow White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 3, 2013 Author #878 Share Posted September 3, 2013 And then Jasmine. I used to have a stomach like that. Claire ruined my body. I looked great after Michael, Paige took a toll, but I popped back decently…after Claire nothing has been the same. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 15, 2013 Author #879 Share Posted September 15, 2013 And then Aurora made her way to our table. And one of Claire’s favorites!!!!! Ariel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 15, 2013 Author #880 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Again, I am being caddy, but I didn’t think she was a very pretty Ariel from the front. And then we were done. We were full and happy and ready to head out to the park again. It was a better experience than last time, but nothing can top our first time there. We headed back out into the sunshine again. I guess I felt the need to take this picture. And then of course we had to make a stop to try the sword once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 15, 2013 Author #881 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Each time she did this, she was sure she could feel it start to move and it would come out at any minute for her. But once again, we did not have success. Claire then requested we hit Small World. The line was kind of long, but it kept moving at least. Soon we were on our boat. I have yet to eat in Pinocchio’s at one of these tables. This is my sneaky picture of the baby in front of us. He was a few people ahead of in line too and we just kept laughing because he looked hysterical and cute in this little hat. And he never fussed about having it on.

jenseib Posted September 15, 2013 Author #885 Share Posted September 15, 2013 We had another fabulous trip around the world. The party time was now approaching so we got our wrist bands and then did one of our favorites ….a jungle cruise at night. And now it was party time!

jenseib Posted September 15, 2013 Author #886 Share Posted September 15, 2013 We made a stop in the bathrooms so Claire could change for the party. And we found some Carolers out who were have a fun time. And they graciously took a picture with Claire. And then Claire showed off her flashing necklace, which didn’t show up with a flash picture and a non-flash picture was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 15, 2013 Author #887 Share Posted September 15, 2013 We loved how they had red and green lights accenting on the buildings. More water art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #888 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Again, I was not following the proper party rules where you need to do as many of the party activities as possible. We had something else on the agenda first…..The New Fantasyland! Yep, I wanted to get back there AGAIN! We didn’t even have to ask this time, they just waved people back and off we went. This time we had something new to try, Enchanted Tales with Belle. They told us the wait was about 30 minutes and we thought it would be worth it so we got in line. Beast’s castle off in the distance. It wasn’t too long and we were let into the cottage. I know the wait was much less than they had predicted at that point. It was so exciting and I just randomly kept snapping pictures so I could try to remember everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #889 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Claire was taller than Belle was at that age. Claire was measuring at 9 years old, and she was still 7 at the time. They really did put quite a few people in that area, so I tried taking pictures without people in it, but at times it was just impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #890 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Casts members would come in and out every so often, but I got the impression the group in front of us were taking longer than normal. Of course this was a testing phase, so they were still working out kinks. After a while, we were then let into Maurice’s work shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #891 Share Posted September 17, 2013 While in there we got some stories about inventions and other facts about Belle and her father. We were then told from that point on we could take as many Non-flash pictures as we wanted. Now I prefer non-flash pictures, but sometimes you just need to use a flash because of lighting …and this was the case. The lighting was very poor and it was hard to get anything decent for the rest of the tour. After we spent some time in the workshop, a Magical thing happened. The mirror opened into a doorway. Now I knew this was going to happen as I had watched a video of it before coming on the trip. But when I got in the workshop, I kept looking at it and I could not figure out how it would open because it just didn’t look like it could expand or that a doorway was hidden there. They really did use some Disney Magic for that trick. It really was neat to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #892 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The next room we went in had the Armoire. We were then allowed to volunteer to be part of the show. I told Claire she had to if she wanted a picture with Belle. At that point in time I had read only those who were part of the show actually got a picture with Belle. I am not sure if this has changed or not. I heard there were quite a few complaints and it was talked about being changed, but I haven’t kept up on the issue much.

jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #893 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Sadly, Claire was not chosen as the Beast, but she was chosen to be Phillppe. Adults could volunteer as well and after the main characters were given out, they asked if anyone wanted to be something and I said yes and became a picture frame. (sorry, there is no picture of me in all my glory!) I believe we had to practice a few things and then were led into the library. I believe the story was that we were surprising Belle.

jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #894 Share Posted September 17, 2013 While we got settled in I took a lot of pictures of the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #895 Share Posted September 17, 2013 There are benches to sit on, but most of the kids got up front on the floor. Lumierre was amazing! It was now time for Belle to arrive. And she was very surprised! Again, I am going to be a bit caddy, but doesn’t Belle look like she could play one of the step sisters? Ok, this really is a bad picture of her and she wasn’t horrible, but in years past we just had some really beautiful princesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #896 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I believe we then acted out Belles story. Soon it was time for Claire to make her move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #898 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Because with the no flash rule…..I wasn’t getting all that great of shots! This little girl was the Beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #899 Share Posted September 17, 2013 And Chip! Then we all paraded around the room! And a quick hello with Belle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted September 17, 2013 Author #900 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Belle is so surprised to see me! She is probably wondering why I have a major eye squint going. Beast says goodbye to Belle. And then we got to pose with Belle for a picture, but from where I was standing I couldn’t get a good one of Claire. Good thing photopass did.
