The Princesses

Once the girls figured out that they might be able to get up close and personal with REAL Disney princesses, they (and we) were constantly on the look out for them, in every park.  We found plenty of them in the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, but actually had to send emails and ask several cast members in order to find the only princess in Animal Kingdom (but we did!).
Meeting Aurora...

and Belle...
and Cinderella, all together in the Magic Kingdom. 
(so happy!)
Father of the Year waited in line for over an hour so that his girls could meet Rapunzel (alas, no Flynn Ryder). 
She was very nice and very chatty. 

We stumbled upon these two when I asked a cast member if she knew where we could find Jasmine and she said "right here, in about 20 minutes."
Jasmine and Aladdin
While we were meeting Jasmine and Aladdin, Lee again waited in line, this time so that the girls could meet Ariel and Prince Eric. 

In Epcot, we found Belle (again) in France (she was my favorite of all of the princesses). 
Later, we went back to meet the Beast and Belle together. 

We found Mulan in China.

The girls really loved her.
We met Snow White in Germany.
In Animal Kingdom, we met Pocahontas and Meeko, thanks to some email intel from Emily's mom

We met her again on the exact opposite side of the park.  Other than commenting that she was wearing a different outfit (because she was inside, and it was rather cold outside), the girls didn't seem to notice that she was a completely different person.

On our last day in the Magic Kingdom, we finally found Tiana - we had looked and looked for her during our prior visit and could not locate her but Lee finally tracked her down for the girls.  I'm telling you, Father of the Year.

It's a princess treasure hunt!

I'm curious: how does this work - do you tell the girls they're really the princesses, or is it like a santa-in-the-mall thing where they are actually the princesses' helpers/actors?

Your pictures are great!! What a great time for the girls. I have to agree that Belle is my favorite princess, too (I think it's because she likes to read LOL!) Yes, many props to Lee for waiting/searching for princesses :0).
