Lunch with the princesses at the Grotto!

Yes, we went a little crazy with this Disneyland trip, but it was worth every bit and I wouldn't change a thing. The money we saved on not renting a car and kids flying free was put to good use at the Grotto and Breakfast with the Characters!

It all started with a personal photograph and conversation with Ariel. Camrie was so excited she was beside herself. It was truly an all-girls lunch with Nana, Mom, Cam and the princesses! You couldn't wipe the smile off of Camrie's face from the moment we walked in the door. She was SO EXCITED!!!

The lunch was three course (appetizers, main course and dessert). It started with a great three tiered appetizer tray with jello, fruit, veggies, bread and some great dip! Then we each got a great entree. But the topper was the dessert plate with all kinds of little treats and desserts for everyone to share. We all felt like we were getting the star treatment!

While we were enjoying our delectable dishes the princess were announced and came to visit each table and talk with each girl personally and sign autographs. It was so fun watching Camrie and seeing her reaction. She was a little disappointed that Snow White wasn't there, but with the help of the waiter we assured her that Snow White was on vacation!!!

Belle was very sweet and soft spoken.









Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) was next and she was my favorite. She talked with Camrie for a good five minutes and asked her all kinds of questions. She was in no hurry to leave. Camrie truly felt like she was the only one in the room.









Cinderella had a sweet, tiny little voice, but seemed in a little bit of a hurry (and it wasn't even close to midnight!!!). Cam was still thrilled to have her favorite princess right by her side.















Finally, Jasmine graced our presence. She too was a lot of fun. She and Camrie talked about Agrabah and many other fun things! Camrie was pretty excited that they matched.

This is an experience I hope Camrie never forgets. She was so star-struck and beyond excited to meet the princesses. I am going to print these pictures and put them in a frame for her room.

What an great day!

We've never done the princess meals and now I wish we would have, the next time we go the girls will be too old, I'll have to take my grandkids someday! I'm glad you shared all the photos and C looks so happy and cute. What a special day, she'll never forget it!
