This is now my second year as an annual passholder, and I'm even more hooked than I was my first year! I wish I could go to DL every week, but I live about 1 1/2 hours away so I don't get there as often as I'd like, but I thoroughly enjoy every time I
My girls had so much fun at the parks yesterday! We met Merida for the first time, and Maddie even got to meet her idol, Ariel...hopefully the photo pass pictures come out nice because the lighting on mine was so bad!
Is the princess meet & greet at Fantasy Faire open during early entry on Sundays? If not, does anyone know what time it opens? I'm bringing my girls on Sunday and we're trying to plan out our day! Thanks! 😃
Any suggestions on where to eat breakfast, NOT in the parks? My daughter and I will be arriving about an hour (keeping my fingers crossed for no traffic on the 5!!) before the parks open tomorrow and need somewhere yummy to eat breakfast!

My daughter and I haven't seen the Aladdin show in about 5 years, so it's on our list of must-do's for tomorrow. How early should we line up before the show starts in order to get good seats? And what are the best seats? Thanks! :-)
I usually stand in line 45 minutes to an hour before the show to get good seats. The best seats are in the "orchestra" section which are the closest group of seats to the stage :)
Enjoy the show! - PrincessMacy503.0 #235 3-6-13 2:11PMLike(1) Reply
