She still brings it up with a pout 3 weeks later. There is also a show that is quite good & you can make crowns. All those are free. There is a store right next to the line where you can get all kids of princess items, face paintings & there use to be something to do with hair but I didn't see that last time. I have no idea what the price is for those but I am sure they are not cheap. I recommend going to Libby Lu at DowhTown Disney first way more bang for your buck (make reservations). It has it's good points & bad but totally worth it if you have a Princess of your own. ) <a href="http://www.kodakgallery.com/PhotoView.jsp?&collid=44911626105.346749027405.1195943232518&photoid=153841127405&folderid=0&view=1&page=5&sort_order=1&albumsperpage=&navfolderid=2007" target="_blank">http://www.kodakgallery.com/Ph otoView.jsp?&collid=44911626105.346749027405.1195943232518&photoid=153841127405&folderid=0&view=1&page=5&sort_order=1&albumsperpage=&navfolderid=2007</a> <a href="http://www.kodakgallery.com/PhotoView.jsp?&collid=44911626105.346749027405.1195943232518&photoid=953841127405&folderid=0&view=1&page=5&sort_order=1&albumsperpage=&navfolderid=2007" target="_blank">http://www.kodakgallery.com/Ph otoView.jsp?&collid=44911626105.346749027405.1195943232518&photoid=953841127405&folderid=0&view=1&page=5&sort_order=1&albumsperpage=&navfolderid=2007</a> <a href="http://www.kodakgallery.com/PhotoView.jsp?collid=44911626105.346749027405.1195943232518&photoid=323841127405&folderid=0" target="_blank">http://www.kodakgallery.com/Ph otoView.jsp?collid=44911626105.346749027405.1195943232518&photoid=323841127405&folderid=0</a>&

The biggest gripe my husband has is that we cannot hear a word the princess is saying to our little girl. We used to love hearing their conversations when they roamed around the castle. My biggest gripe is there is ZERO entertainment for the girls waiting outside for an hour plus. By contrast, when we rode the five minute raft to Tom Sawyer Island, there was a pirate entertaining us the whole time with his humor. Why can't the line to see the Princesses include a juggler or mime or singing minstrels or court jesters that tell jokes. If we can suspend belief and see Mickey Mouse in multiple parts of Disneyland dressed in different outfits, the little girls can suspend belief and see different princesses roaming different sections of DL. So far, the only princess I have spotted in two parts of DL is Jasmine, because of her show in Adventureland. Off soapbox for now. Thanks.
