Dreams do come true


Outside Cinderella's castle each day the Cast of the Magic Kingdom put on a spectacular show in which Mickey proclaims his love for Minnie and the princesses all dance with their princes. Goofy and Donald pretend to be pirates and Peter Pan defeats the wicked Captain Hook. Finally, believing overcomes all evil and everything comes out right. In the end we learn that dreams really do come true.

This is one of my favorite pictures from our week in Walt Disney World.

Inside Cinderella's castle is a shop that sells the usual souveniers as well as a few highly prized and highly priced pieces of Disney memorabilia. In the hallway is a lovely set of mosaics telling the story of Cinderella.

There is a restaurant on the second floor called "Cinderella's Royal Table." We ate lunch with Jasmine, Snow White, Belle and Mary Poppins. Cinderella was our hostess and she puts on a fabulous feast. If you want to dine at Cinderella's Table, be sure to make your reservations early. All the seatings fill up fast.

On the third floor of Cinderella's castle is a newly remodeled suite. It cost four million dollars to prepare and is used as a special surprize for one family each day who is invited to stay there for a night. We did not get chosen, so maybe not all dreams come true!

We had a wonderful time during our week at Walt Disney world. The cast members were always ready to make sure it was a magical experience for us all.

More pictures and stories will be posted soon!
