There is so much to see and do in Fantasyland that it warrants a very colorful two part post. We spend the majority of our first day here, and we also came back multiple times over the next few days. All the best rides for young children are in Fantasyland, and Elise begged us to go back especially for Dumbo, the King Arthur Carrousel and It's a Small World. It's a Small World holiday ride was definitely one of mom and dad's favorites. It really is a gorgeous sight all decked out for the holidays, plus it's a fairly long ride, so you get a chance to sit back and relax. Elise loved the music, and yes she was singing "It's a Small World" afterwards, she thought it was really catchy and original...imagine that. Alina had fun too, although she kept trying to squirm off my lap and attempt to climb off the boat. Of course, I didn't let her get very far; that sneaky little daredevil.
We also met some very special and beloved Disney characters here in Fantasyland; Tinkerbell and Rapunzel! Everyone close to Elise knows that these are her absolute favorite Disney characters in existence. She and Alina really enjoyed getting to meet the both of them. As an added bonus, they also met Periwinkle (Tinkerbell's long lost sister), Terence (Tinkerbell's good friend and keeper of the pixie dust) and Flynn Rider (aka. Eugene Fitzherbert, Rapunzel's true love). Meeting her most favorite Disney characters was one of the highlights of the trip for little miss Elise. Stay tuned for plenty more Disneyland posts, the fun is just beginning!
