Princesses!

Riley got to meet SIX Disney princesses on the cruise, which, if you ask me, is pretty awesome. We met them all at one fell swoop, at a character meet-and-greet. The line was absurdly long, as you can imagine, and I'd say that about 48% of the little girls were wearing those overly-expensive-but-cheaply-made princess dresses. Riley wore her Cars shirt because her mom didn't think this thing out.

She wasn't quite sure what to make of it at first. After all, she had had to wait in line for, what in her world, counts as an eternity, so she needed some cheering when Snow White was up. I'm going to spare any stupid captions and just say that you'll notice Riley improves in her smiling as she goes along.









But probably the biggest princess excitement came at dinner one night when-- gasp!-- we saw Ariel, Riley's absolute favorite princess, floating through our dining room. AND if that weren't enough, Riley just happened to be wearing her Ariel dress!

She catches sight of Ariel. Could it really be???

Riley shows Ariel the pictures of herself on the dress.

It is kind of a bummer that both of them didn't look at the camera at the same time, but can you blame Riley? She's holding Ariel's hand while wearing an Ariel dress. Wow. And Ariel was in a rush. I'm pretty sure she was under strict instructions from Eric to get back to the palace ASAP before Scuttle destroys everything.
