Disney..Oh MY!!

Ella Mae and her "Princess in crime"

So we took Ella Mae to Disney on ice "Princess Wishes" today....I've got three letters for ya...O.M.G!!  Went with Ella's BFF in the culde...cuz you have to have a "princess in crime"...Ha!!  The girls have been talkin' about it for two weeks now since we all walked to the mailbox (Condor had made up some special "princess" invitaions) and we opened them up together.  They carried the invites around everywhere..I noticed today her BFF's had been brought back to life with some tape as it had been ripped into three pieces from wear and tear.  What is it about little girls and princesses??  It is like crack for them..I wish you could have seen the looks on their faces when we walked into the venue.  Even just pulling in and parking Ella exclaimed "look at the castle!"  It was really just a hockey arena..but ok..we'll go with "castle."  Disney sure does know what they are doing...you walk in and you can't help but open your wallet and just let the money fall out!  I mean,  we were trying to pick out the one item to get for Ella...she had picked out a $12 Cinderella figurine thingy...and I kept pushing her to get the $22 barbie lookin' one.  It's like they have us figured out too!  Finally my hubby stepped in and told me to back off and let her get the cheaper one...seemed like a "no brainer"...right?  Good thing cuz her BFF got the $22 one and the head popped off on the car ride home....nothin' a little super glue won't fix..but still, that could have been a tramatic experience for some kiddo!  Anywho...mama got an over priced glass of wine (I was suprised to see it there, but understand why) and a $7 bag o popcorn (it was in a disney box..c'mon!) and nestled in for the "Disney on Ice" experience.  The experience for me was watching Ella and her BFF squeal with delight when Mickey and Minnie came out and the gasp as Tinkerbell make her way around the rink spreading her "fairy dust."  Seeing all the little girls dressed as their favorite princess...tiarra's, mermaid outfits..princess dresses galore...staring intently as the characters came to life.

  Ohhh...to be that young again!  Us old farts still had fun though.  Thank you Disney for taking all my money and putting a sweet, wonderful smile on my girl's face today  :)

The wonderful world of DISNEY!!
