My Favorite Disney Moment...

We braved wind and ceaseless rain crossing continent after continent with 4 adults, 4 children, 1 drenched stroller, 1 heavy camera bag, and 1 all important garment bag containing princess dress, shoes and crown. Finally, our persistence paid off and we arrived in Norway at Akershus. The soaking princess was whisked away to the royal bathroom where the Queen Mum transformed her into a beautiful princess. She even managed to work some amazing magic to get one little boy to dress like Peter Pan while the other little prince turned down his opportunity to dress as a prince. Shortly thereafter they were summoned into the royal presence and greeted by Princess Belle herself:

We partook of some good food and were periodically visited by various princesses much to the delight of the beautiful princess:

She was even greeted by her favorite princess, Ariel. The Queen Mum reminisced about the last time they dined there when the so big princess was 2 and called Ariel, "Princess Nemo". It was so cute.

The happy princess finally met the princess she was dressed as, although she was representing the dress made by the mice and birds the wicked stepmother tore up: Needless to say, Peter Pan was less than impressed by all these princesses:
And then, Snow White entered the room. From the minute she entered the room he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He didn't give the other princesses a second look, but he watched her as she circulated the room. He was fascinated.
And then she approached our table. Look at the delight on this sweet boy's face:

Wesley wasn't quite as impressed and went on with his eating:

Snow White happily visited with the pink princess:

Then the Queen Mum suggested the King allow Peter Pan to visit with her. They quickly told her of his infatuation, but she could see it for herself:

Though Peter was too overwhelmed to make much eye contact the smile never left his sweet face:

I really don't know if these pictures can do justice to convey the giddiness on this child's face. A child who a few minutes earlier was pitching a fit and embarrassing his royal parents. That quickly turned to nonstop smiles when she came along:

The lady herself was quite enchanted as well and bestowed a kiss upon his cheek. His beautiful smile never left but turned a little lopsided and thrilled:

Umm, yeah here he's bragging:

Then as the royal family laughed he became embarrassed:

Embarrassed, yes but still very happy (this picture is one of the reasons this was my favorite Disney moment!):

Big brother could relate as he was in this exact same position 4 years ago at this same restaurant as he was dressed as Prince Philip and covered in kisses (Mommy's favorite moment of that trip!). Here they are saying they are disgusted, but both continually grinned!

This was the most magical of magical moments. My princess was happy and my Will had his first crush, and I had perfect pictures to show it- priceless!
