It is difficult for a princess to show much of a special personality when talking with young children, some of whom have not even seen the relevant movie. Snow White has definitely been an exception when she appears with the Queen. See Youtube videos for examples.

It was just that it referenced a deleted post (and poster), and made no sense on its own. It was amusing, but it's not like you missed the laugh riot of the century or anything ....

Out of 1 Million passholders and 15+ Million annual visitors to Disneyland, a few hundred people is a tiny sliver of a drop in the ocean. But where are they this week as their former dancehall reopens as something else?

Honestly, I think it's much better than what they had at Plaza Gardens and why would they want to be in the middle of all of that Princess madness that's there now?

Originally Posted By Bellella I'm afraid I just never have come to terms with the characters being shoved into every conceivable (and inconceivable- IASW, oh what have they done to it now?) place. I did quite enjoy the characters a bit when I was little, but the human characters with faces seem to me today like uber-perky cheerleaders. I have yet to see one that could really ACT.

Originally Posted By HMButler79 I agree with TP2000 and the other poster. Meeting the Princess in a Meet n Greet format is a complete bore. It IS SO FAKE. Although I have noticed that Belle and Jasmine and Ariel are more "fun". The only face characters I would actually go out of my way to see (at DL) are/were Pan (he is SOOOO snarky!), Alice, Hatter, Queen, and at MK, Gaston.
