Belle...

One of my favorite parts of our Disney trip was actually "lunch with the Princesses" at Cinderella's table (in the castle). "My" favorite princess is princess Belle, from Beauty and the Beast. All of the princesses came by the table, except for Cinderella, who was still entertaining guests with photographs in the main hall entrance.

Finally, the last one to come by, was Belle. She had greeted the kids as had the others, and then posed for a picture...except that MY CAMERA BATTERY DIED!!! Oh the horrors! The pain! The consternation!!!






That was a Tuesday...







After a very long Wednesday at Animal Kingdom, we returned on Thursday to finish Magic Kingdom. We hadn't planned on it, but just happened by the East side of the castle mid-afternoon, only to see BELLE taking pictures with everyone! She was actually about to start Storytime in the Garden with Belle, for which we promptly grabbed a stone seat and enjoyed a thrilling time with Belle. Sadly, I was not selected to be the Beast - the chap directly in front of me was, and he was a splendid beast for sure.















After the story time ended, Belle then stayed for more photographs, for which we waited anxiously in line (boo lines, but hey! It's Belle!). Please enjoy these masterpieces with the grandest Princess of all - and Karen would love for someone to wipe that goofy smile off of my face...
