Disneyland - The Characters

I think Allary's very favorite part of her whole Disneyland experience was meeting the characters. We bought her an autograph book to take around and she was so excited. These are also some of my favorite photos because Allary was so thrilled and it's so out-of-character for her to talk to or even look at a stranger, or as you'll see, give big hugs. We waited in lines to see characters much longer than we waited for any of the rides. Every time we'd get done waiting to see someone, we'd walk away and Allary would say, "let's go find someone else!" :) So, I saved these ones for last, enjoy!




Okay, this is kind of a funny story. As I said before, Allary had made it quite clear that she wanted NOTHING to do with the evil queens. I had been talking to her alot about the characters that would be there and she was most excited to see everyone from her favorite movie, Peter Pan. She really wanted to meet Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. We met Tinkerbell, but I have never seen Peter Pan at Disneyland (why is that anyway?). But she also really wanted to meet Captain Hook. Well, one day walking along, we saw Captain Hook. Allary was already leaping out of the stroller and grabbing her autograph book. I saw also though that he was at a character meet and greet location which meant there was a loooong ling and also more than one character. The other two characters there were the Queen of Hearts (not scary because Allary hasn't seen that movie) and oh no.... the evil Queen from Snow White. I explained to Allary that in order to meet Captain Hook she was also going to have to meet the other two. (It would be kind of rude to walk right past them I think). I told Allary she didn't have to talk to them, she could just hand them her autograph book and that was it. She wanted to see Captain Hook bad enough and so she braved it out and even posed for pictures. :)


And... Captain Hook! She was so excited.










Aladdin and Jasmine. Allary really wanted nothing to do with Aladdin, just Jasmine.

This is Silvermist from the Tinkerbell movie.

And another of Allary's favorites.... Tinkerbell!


The line to meet the princesses was also very very long and we even got there a few minutes before the place even opened. It was well worth the wait though. This experience for Allary was priceless.

Allary is showing her that she has Sleeping Beauty on her shirt. :)
