Our introduction begins in a land far, far away (Michigan is pretty far from some states 
).
Once upon a time there was a Princess. Now this Princess earned her crown through entering beauty pageants and in 2010 it was time for her to pass that crown onto another princess. Well that year they had two handsome princes to escort the ladies to the stage. One of these princes caught the Princess's eye and she knew she had to talk to him. This Princess isn't very brave so it took some encouragement from the Queen to get her to go over to him. She proceeded to thank him for helping escort the ladies and in a sly move gave him her number during a handshake
The Princess had caught the Prince's eye as well so as soon as he was back to his coach in the parking lot he called her. It turns out our Princess did not have good handwriting and gave him the wrong number. For a year, the Prince tried everything he could think of to get in contact with her. Calling the number and looking through the Book of Faces and nothing worked. The 2011 pageant came around and the rules had been changed to allow past princesses to try for the crown again. Our Princess entered and on the night of the pageant saw the Prince. Needless to say the Princess was quite upset that the Prince never called her and assumed he was either a jester or taken. The Prince was also upset believing the Princess may be the type to play games. During the pageant the Prince tried to talk to her but it was not an opportune time. Afterwards, he pulled her aside.
"Do you remember me?" asked the Prince.
Now the Princess being quite upset wasn't sure how to answer this. "I don't know maybe."
"Yes you do. You gave me your number last year and you gave me the wrong one."
The Princess was mortified and proceeded to give him the right number and straighten things out. Well that night they met at a party the King and Queen were throwing to celebrate the pageant. That night they kissed and in the weeks to follow fell in love.
Now you may be wondering what this has to do with our trip. The Queen and Princess were planning a trip to a Magical Kingdom at the end of the long summer. While they were planning and talking about all of the fun they would be having the Prince mentioned he had never been. Well you certainly cannot leave someone out of a trip to the Magical Kingdom if they have never been! So the Princess and Queen decided they would allow the King and Prince to come as well.

We were at the World from August 29-September 3rd and stayed at Pop Century and All Star Music. We all had 4 day park hoppers and Josh and I had the Water Park and more option.
We experienced a ton of magic and pixie dust and I hope you follow along because there are a couple big surprises along the way
