Hi Everyone,
Here a few pics from our recent trip on the 7th September.
We had a wonderful time, it was my 3 year old daughters first time and she absolutely loved it!

In all we managed to meet 38 characters. One of the most difficult was Maleficent. We saw her just as were coming off of Casey Jr in Fantasyland. Gemma at first ran up with her autograph book, but then remembered that Maleficent was evil. She then hugged my leg and hid from Maleficent, who was just staring at us. I went up and asked her for her autograph but she walked away. We then followed her, and she eventually signed. I picked up gemma so the 3 of us would be in the same picture, but as my wife took the picture the batteries died on the camera. We are really upset about that.
If anyone is interested in seeing any of the other pics let me know.
Cool photographs love them!
I'd deffinately love to see some more :mrgreen:
Sorry to hear about the batteries going though just as you were getting a photo!
Thanks for posting these pictures, they're great, I'd definitely like to see some more. I'm glad that you all had a great trip too :)
My goodness, Gemma is beautiful! Love her red hair and it goes perfectly with the Belle dress! Love the pics as well! Where is Cinderella's carriage? Have never seen it?

It's by the Cinderella restaurant, there's a small courtyard next to it. It's a bit hidden... One of the most beautiful places in Fantasyland, for me! Other than the carriage, there's a beautiful well, and there are some chairs and tables, I guess it was intented as a terrace for the restaurant!

Hi!
Nice pictures. We have been to DLRP at the same time and we have seen you one day in front of the castle. I remember your daughter because of the nice red hair.
Great that you enjoyed your trip.
Nice piccies, please post more... =D> :D/ =D>
Great photos. I thought I'd covered every inch of the park, but I totally missed Cinder's carriage. My daughter would have loved it.

I hope you all like the pictures so far!!
I am sorry that I am not describing the trip as a proper report, but it consisted of exactly the same everyday. Get to the park about 8-8.30 am, Do the Pinocchio ride 15 times, do the Snow White ride 15 times, do Peter Pans Flight 15 times, Do Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast 15 times...and so on.
Thats the only trouble with a 3 year old.
aw wow your photos are fantastic! Love the lilo and stitch photos! :D
your little girl is beautiful, glad you had a good time! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting your pics are lovely.....i love the one of Gemma and Stitch!
please post more!!
Here are a few more pictures for you all from our recent trip.
What a nightmare it was to try and get a picture with Mary Poppins. When the show finished Gemma went up to her with her autograph but book wasn't quick enough. Mary walked off and Gemma shouted after her "MARY POPPINS, PLEASE COME BACK!!!" it was really funny.
We followed her and Bert over to City Hall, and all I can say was that it was total carnage. We could see that Mary was trying to reach out to Gemma, but all of these other kids kept pushing in front of us. Eventually she got to Gemma, signed her book and told everyone to back up so we could get the photo.
I didn't notice until we got home though that Bert tried to get in the photo as well, but I cut half of him off.

The next 3 are Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, and Prince John. Prince John was really cool. When the Character Express rolled up he waved to Gemma as she was calling out his name (she loves the Robin Hood movie) and he made a bee line for her when he climbed off. She kept blowing him kisses and he loved it.

Cowboy Goofy who couldn't understand why we didn't want him to sign Gemma's book. It was because we already met him as regular Goofy at the character tea party at Plaza Gardens a few days before.
