A Life Filled With Love & Joy: Anna & Elsa

Our last night at the hotel, while Caroline was fast asleep, we came up with a plan to be able to meet Anna & Elsa from Frozen. Timing would be critical and we would have to wake up early and we were already pretty exhausted, but we figured if it was possible then we would make the effort. We risked losing our breakfast reservations and all being grumpy in the morning, but we were going for it. So, we waited outside of the park and watched the opening celebration and then when they opened the gates, we very quickly walked, along with the masses, up Main St. and through Cinderella's castle. We couldn't go straight to the Fairytale Princess Hall because they had it roped off so we had to go around the carousel and then to the hall. I kept walking, very quickly, to the hall and the line while Alan dropped the stroller in the parking area and grabbed Caroline. We all filed through very quickly, you heard the chains of the lanes jangling and lots of commotion as every parent and grandparent rushed to get a decent place in line to meet Anna and Elsa! It wasn't a stampede, but it was as close as we'd like to get to one ever again :) The woman in front of me had a baby in a Baby Bjorn and was squishing herself, and by default the baby in it, to wedge into position. Once we were in line there was a 20 minute wait which was cake walk. We chatted with the other adults about the ridiculous of it all while Caroline played on Alan's phone. We met the ladies, Caroline had a lot of fun, although she was nervous around Elsa and didn't ask her all of the questions she wanted to, and then we high tailed it back to the hotel in time for our breakfast reservation. We were the only people leaving the park after it had been open for 40 minutes! Meanwhile, the general public was still in line to get in!
