Dreams do come true... they really do!

OK... my last post was about my Montana adventures with Zack. Everyone else (meaning mom and dad) are talking about our vacation, so I guess it's my turn to talk about MY FAVORITE PART of our trip.

I absolutely loved every minute of it. Really. I didn't want to leave once our last day rolled around. Even though I loved it ALL, I think the best part of the week for me was meeting my favorite character. A moment I was waiting for all week long.... getting the chance to meet Belle.

Belle has always been my favorite of ALL the princesses. I think it's because she's the most like me. I love her story. So if I could only meet one character all week, I would have had to choose Belle. We were lucky enough to find her and the Beast in Epcot when we were walking World Showcase. As we were coming upon the France pavillion we saw a line forming and the characters there. Zack and I ran to get in line (seriously... mom told us to run and get in line) because I realized it was the one person I REALLY, REALLY wanted to meet.

We waited in line for I guess about ten or fifteen minutes (with all the anticipation it seemed like FOREVER). Finally we were next in line, and we got to walk up and meet Belle and the Beast! She signed our autograph books and started talking to us. She commented on Zack's Stitch ears ("You look like our friend Stitch!" *Zack talks in Stitch voice* "You sound like our friend Stitch!" *Zack and I start giggling* "Do you get in trouble like our friend Stitch?" *I start to nod "yes" to her*) and she asked me what my favorite story was (a VERY Belle thing to say).

Of course, I really didn't know how to tell her she was my favorite character of all time. So when she asked me what my favorite story was, and I said that it was hers, she got all excited and started asking me about my favorite part (I answered, "I like it all!"). When it came time for pictures, she said she would be honored to take a picture with me. HONORED!!!! Meeting Belle was definitely my dream, and finally my dream really did come true.

We ended up seeing her again the next day at Cinderella's Royal Table. So I got to see her twice! I didn't care how the rest of our vacation went... I had gotten to meet Belle. My vacation was complete.

More blogging later. Mom says I should give Zack the chance to blog about his stuff sometime soon. I know for sure he wants to talk about his camp experiences, and maybe even Disney as well.
