The family behind us started getting vocally aggravated that Merida was taking so long with A. The mom interrupted the photographer and asked if everyone for this much time, and the cm just shrugged. The dad made a comment about A thinking she was SO special that she was making the others wait. Then the mom sighed heavily and just started staring at me like i controlled any of it 😂😂 FINALLY they stood up for a photo
How obnoxious! People suck.
A never stops making me laugh. "Purple bra". And that face in the last picture. She seemed rather insulted. I love your kid!

The “odd” boat at Gran Fiesta is handicap accessible. Typically they send it on through if a disabled guest is not waiting, but one time Woody and I were assigned the first two seats and yes, we held hands across the aisle!

Sometimes ride pics take 24 hours to appear in MDE. If they never show, message me.

We didn't really have room for dessert, but we ate it anyway 😂😂

A wanted more gummy bears so i let her grab some more. She came back with this 😂😂😂 which mostly went into a ziplock bag because nobody needs this many gummy bears 😂😂😂

Halfway through her second dessert plate our waiter came out to see how we were doing. A told him that she loved all the desserts, and he asked which was her favorite. She replied chocolate cupcakes which were not even an offering 😂😂 a little while later he showed up with a surprise

Which when we got back to our resort we opened to find this ❤❤

The characters were really great, but nothing special enough to delay sleep tonight for. We met Prince Charming, Cinderella, Lady Tremaine, and the stepsisters.

In the midst of meeting all the characters, A calls our waiter over urgently. He responds a little worried, but then laughs when she hands him her autograph book and asks him to sign it

He was really truly fantastic!!

All in all this was a really spectacular meal and I'm so glad we decided to try this instead of dinner at the castle again. Highly recommend this one, if you have little ones.

I'm going to add this one photo of LT and A. She posed A like "a proper young lady" 😂😂 because she clearly doesn't know her 😂😂

How sweet for A to ask for the waiters autograph!

Safe to assume she had fun at the pool 😂😍
She is so cute! Her whole face smiles & I can see a definite mischievous sparkle in those eyes too. Love it! ❤️
Also people can be so rude at characters meets if they linger with people. Buzz spent so much time with our grandson, I was worrying and the Photopass CM told us oh, no Buzz isn’t done yet, he will let me know when he is. So I stopped worrying about the eye rolls and comments and enjoyed it to the fullest.

I'm loving all the adventures so far, but I really laughed when I read about the shoes and Soarin'. My niece was always so concerned about losing shoes on that ride, even if they were tennis shoes and tied tight. We always had to take our shoes off and leave them on the floor safely behind while riding. I think about it now on every ride.

They called the ten minute warning and said if you need the restroom, user it now. So i ask A, and she says no. We get in line to meet Captain Hook and Smee instead. By the time we get to the front of the line, A is terrified that Captain Hook is going to think she's the real Tinkerbell and then he'll capture her and take her away forever 😂😂 Spoiler alert, he didn't 😂😂 but she was still scared and insisted i stay with her

Then she runs back to our chairs and notices yet another cup of gold coins (how did those get there... 🤷🤷😂😂) And decides that she *needs* to give one to Captain Hook.

He bites it and taps it as if he's trying to figure out if it's real. And she's busy excitedly telling him to eat it because it's chocolate because she's four and doesn't understand actual gold is more desirable 😂😂

Then she wants another picture and it goes a little better but she still won't take her eyes off Hook

As we turn to go back to our seats, A tells him "you know I'm not the real Tinkerbell, right?! I look like her but it's just a costume!! You can't take me away from my mommy!!" 😂😂

Then when we got back to our chairs, the ten minute Grace period already ended, A looks alarmed and says (you guessed it) I NEED TO GO POTTY!! 😒😒😒😒😒

I hurry her to the closest bathroom which felt a mile away and we returned just in time to walk into the room escorting the two Patches. The one driving the Smee boat let A bring his flag in then took it back when he realized we were on the Hook boat 😂😂 And with a short walk down to the dock, we set sail on our journey...

So happy you and @Rista1313 got to meet.
A has such an amazing personality!

Well...... i mean..... What in Disney *IS* worth the price?! You certainly aren't getting your money's worth in purse grapes. But it was a cool experience. We likely won't do it again, because of the price, but I'm glad we did it this time. The character interactions were great, the captain was great, and it was really pretty watching the fireworks from the boat. So i guess, like everything else at Disney, it depends on how you gauge "worth it"
It was more than worth it when Em and I got to be stowaways. 🤣
