Okay any men who like to visit here -- duck and cover!  An overpowering cloud of estrogen may waft out of your monitor if you continue viewing! 

Grandma and I took Precious Princess to a Princess Lunch at  Epcot. 

The day before, at the Magic Kingdom, I had bought her a Belle princess dress and tiara.  I confess, I steered her toward Belle even though she has never seen the "Beauty and the Beast" movie, entirely because Precious Princess is a brunette and so is Belle.  So I thought Belle's dress would be a good color for her.

At the Princess Lunch, as you entered the Royal Banquet Hall there was a Disney princess waiting to greet you in a lushly-decorated little alcove, and a professional photographer waiting to capture the moment.  Of course, you can take your own pictures too, and I did.  Later, as you eat, four other princesses come to your table and greet your little girl, and you can take pictures with them too, only not in the formal background 

It was, like, the most amazingly weird coincidence, BUT, just GUESS which princess was the featured princess who greeted us as we came in???

And I must say, Belle was amazing.  Our table was right near the entrance, so we were witnesses to the parade of little girls and their families who trooped past this woman over the next forty-five minutes. 

And every single child she greeted as if she had been just waiting and hoping for them to show up.  Every single one, including my own precious princess.  Whether her feet hurt, or she was hot under that wig, I don't know, but she greeted the last child as kindly and graciously as she had the first.  She never for a single moment forgot that for these few minutes, she was working magic for that child.  She kept it fresh and new for each child, no matter how many countless hours and days she herself had done it.

Disney magic.  They really do it well. 

Precious Princess enjoyed the tableside visits from the other princesses as well, especially Cinderella -- that's her favorite movie.

All in all, I have to say, the Princess Lunch was fabulous.  In every sense of the word. 

I'm really glad we did that while she still believes in magic.  Next time we go she might be too old.
