Are you wondering the same thing I was wondering when I was standing at the desk? Why give me a confirmation number if it is worthless? What good is the number if I can't use it for anything? Do they just like making people write down a 9 digit number for fun?
And I opted for the BIG Kahuna.

It wasn't long before we were walking through the gates and onto Main St. Melody stopped in the Emporium because we received a 20% coupon on our receipt and she had a few items in mind. I took Juliana outside for a few minutes and we met a Councilman.
![]()
Juliana was just a little excited.
![]()
Can you believe that she didn't even share one with me?

We exited the princesses and the CM asked us if we wanted to see the fairies. Of course!!!! We went through a back hallway and were at the front of the fairies line. We had a great photopass photographer who followed us the entire time and was snapping away.
You can see how I have to carry my camera, video camera, and backpack. LOL

First up was Terrance. Juliana was scared of him last time but this Terrance was awesome! He was making jokes and Juliana felt very comfortable with him.

Here Terrance and Juliana were showing each other how they flew...

Mel & I felt left out from the princesses so we got in a few pictures too.

Tinkerbell was admiring Juliana's dress and was watching her with Terrance. Once our family picture was done she came over and grabbed Juliana.

Even Tinkerbell LOVED Juliana's dress and they talked about it for a few minutes.

Juliana had to get Tinkerbell's autograph.

Tinkerbell was great with Juliana.

Lastly, Vidia. Vidia was getting tired of Tinkerbell having all the fun with Juliana so she walked over and 'stole' Juliana from Tink.
![]()
Now according to Disney's website Vidia's personality traits are...
Passive-aggressive, arrogant, and not very friendly. HA! Besides having a little attitude toward Tink she was soooooo friendly towards Ana.
They talked for a few minutes too.

When Melody & I asked to get in a picture she huffed and puffed but gave in without too much of a fight. LOL

We had a great time meeting the princesses and the fairies and it was one of the highlights of our trip.
Up Next..... Another Fairy... some rides.... and the Jolly 'Ol Elf Himself!
So many of you wanted to know what Melody bought in the Emporium.....I was trying to not talk to much about our shopping excursion- trying to keep my MAN 'cred'.... but you have broke me! LOL
While I took Juliana outside of the Emporium, Melody was inside picking out a few items to buy. She found a few Christmas ornaments, a long sleeve shirt, and a Disney bag. Juliana ended up picking out a multi colored Christmas Mickey bracelet that she used the money that Liesa gave her. BUT the big purchase was made by yours truly! Melody had all her items picked out and Juliana REALLY had to go to the bathroom. I told her I would check out while she took Juliana to the bathroom. Once she left I walked over to the Disney purses and thought this would be a great Christmas gift for Melody. I wasn't loving the price too much but holding that 20% off coupon that was on the bottom of my receipt from Cosmic Rays made it a little easier on my wallet. I asked the CM to wrap the purse first and separately from the other items. Melody returned a few minutes later while I was paying. I had our purchase sent to City Hall to be picked up when we left MK. Here is a picture of the purse I bought her:

So there you have it.. that's the extent of my shopping story at this time... now back to the TR......
AND????? What did Mel think of her gift? I love those bags...I have the smaller one.
So, we were in ToonTown sitting on the benches at the exit of the princesses, when a CM came over and checked Juliana's GAC then lead us to see the princesses. We walked in and Juliana's favorite princess was first- CINDERELLA!
![]()
Even though Cinderella's eyes are closed, this picture is priceless.
Next was Belle...
![]()
For some reason Juliana's meeting with Belle was very short. I'm not sure what was going on. I didn't get many pictures and there was only a few on our photopass cd too. Oh well.
Two beautiful princesses.
Next was Aurora. She just LOVED Juliana's dress too! She has to check out the entire dress!
![]()
She was very nice to Juliana and they had a nice conversation.

Seems like the guys have either missed this or they have declined to comment.you bet you willwaiting for the onslot of comments

Thanks! They were really nice to her.the pictures with the princesses and fairies are really cute....its so nice that she got lots of extra time with them!
Ummm, no I didn't. Should I have?Now, look whacha done. You put up an update while I'm am ready to hit the hay. Ah well... something to read in the morning. DO love the purse though- what a great gift for your sweetie. (You did buy here a matching wristlet for Valentine's Day, right??)
Breakfast at Kona looked DELICIOUS!!! Why can't things simply go smoothly though, what is the point of a ressie. conf...sounds like answers WE get!

She does look very tiny next to him.That councilman was tall!He made Juliana look so tiny.

Thank you.... Juliana had great interactions with the princesses and fairies. She had such a fun time with them.I LOVED the sweet interaction with the Princesses and Juliana...she is precious and that dress...I LOVED IT!! I am glad you and Melody joined in the fun with the fairies those were great photos, your girls are so beautiful.
I don't think I have Melody opening her gift recorded. I haven't watched the tape of Christmas morning yet.Tim, I must say, I am very impressed with your shopping skills and the surprise...I think it gives you MORE Man Cred...especially among the ladies.... Melody must have been thrilled, I hope you got that on tape/film!
Huuummmm..... recheck in your UserCP and see if you unchecked it by accident.LOVING all of the updates, wondering why my subscription notification isn't working though...![]()
It seems that Molly is filled with good ideas. I should start listening to her.Gee...I have no idea when you'll have a chance to see Pat again.......no idea....But Molly sure had a good reason for another trip...
![]()
I can't wait to see if you get her... she is so friendly!Perhaps we will get Pat during our Kona ADR next month...I hear 'Ohana is pretty tasty as well...![]()
Juliana had a great experience with them... too bad Toontown is going away. I wonder where they will be located in the time being.Anyway, wonderful pictures of the princesses and fairies meets! You can really tell Juliana was loving it, her face is beaming!!!![]()
LOL... I'll have to get a few pics of her sporting her purse.Also, very nice work on the Christmas gift. You can keep your man card because you only posted a stock photo. Not the actual bag front, back, inside and Mel holding it on each shoulder and also at her side.![]()
We had a great day... up until the game. That was horrible. UCONN got killed.Have fun in the City tonight!!!!
It was a great start to our morning!great interaction with the characters. they all did really well.
Thanks!and who wouldnt like that dress it is awesome

Now why did you go and do this? Now this thread is forever tainted.I'm sorry, what? I don't think I understand the words, "can only take so much of Tom Brady."There can never be enough Tom!

I didn't understand. I think the computers were all messed up.That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
No drooling Homer pic? I'm kinda disappointed.This is most definitely my idea of art.![]()
Ummmmm...What was that about MAN cred?![]()
Thanks.The bag you got for Mel is awesome. I love the pic of Juliana looking up at Vidia she looks so Tiny!
I posted it again incase anyone was just using the links. That way they would be able to read it too.OK, Am I goint crazy or did you post about the purse twice? You must've because you responded to my post about it, then it showed up again along with the Princess/Fairy update
Do you know where they are going?We have never saw the Princesses and Fairies there...and now never will. Sadly
Ellen.... everybody LOVED the dress. In the next few updates you will hear more about this.I have been lurking along catching up on your trip report, and was so excited to see that Juliana was able to wear her princess dress to meet Cinderella in. She looks so cute in it, so glad it fit and she got to wear it!!
I was hoping we would bump into each other..Your trip sounds amazing. We were there around the same time and there were a couple of really cold days, but the sun was out and we too were able to have a good time.
Thank you.Love the purse for Mel, great choice!
Thanks.She looks so cute with the princesses and Fairies.
I really don't know how I was able to hide this from her for the rest of the trip and in out luggage too.Wow buying the purse without her knowing
I think all of the fairies pictures were from our photopass CD. They did a great job capturing each moment.OK, so the pictures of Juliana with the princesses and the fairies brought some tears to my eyes. I am so glad that they were really wonderful to her and must have made her feel so super special. What an amazing experience. And you got beautiful pictures, too!
Great choice!!!! awwwww your poor DH. At least your MIL is on the ball!Great updates!! Ithe purse-since I have the same one. BUT my MIL bought it as she does all my purses and jewels-since her son has NO CLUE..
Thank you!Love all the pics with the princesses and fairies
That's funny!Hope you enjoyed the game. One of my best friends growing up went to St. Johns. I am sure there were only a few basketball players she didn't date.
Exactly!I can be more specific, As you are coming around from the GF to the MK, before you reach the station look out the left windows if you are facing forward.
HAHA!!!You mean, pretty boy??? I can't take him at all and turn the TV off when the Pats are on.
Awww Kathy. I hope you checked your thread. Juliana left you some smilies over there. I figured you were taking a little break.Okay, now back to read your updates that I missed (sorry...been depressed and have been staying away from the DIS....I'll comment on them tomorrow).
She does get shy from time to time, but usually she is VERY outgoing.Great update with the Princesses and the Fairies!!! Hard to believe Ana being shy with anyone, let alone Cinderella....Looks like she had a wonderful time. As for your Man Cred.........
You forgot one...

Third!Let me second the

I don't know what was going on? I'm just glad we were able to be seated and eating that great food!Now, that is really strange. We always print out our confirmation numbers (and they usually give us a set at the CSR when we check in as well). What is the point of them if they can't check them?
I've been hyping Kona up for a while. I hope you like it as much as we do when you GO in September.IF we get to Disney in September, we are definitely doing Kona and I can guarantee Mark will be doing the Big Kahuna.
HEY!I love these photos of Ana; she really does take after her mom (thank goodness), and you can see the excitement in the last two. Sorry, Tim, I wouldn't share my Mickey lollipop with you either.![]()
Thanks Kat.Great photos with the fairies. I think my favorite is the one with Tink and Ana hugging.
She loves it. She started using it on Christmas and hasn't stopped yet.AND????? What did Mel think of her gift? I love those bags...I have the smaller one.
Everyone was admiring Juliana's dress. I think she looked so cute in it, but I might be biased.How sweet that the princesses admired Ana's dress (they were probably all jealous). I'm so glad she got to see the princesses and fairies.
That's okay brother! I probably wouldn't either if I had had a daughter........I should just admit it Marv, I have no Man Cred.![]()
So what type of goats did they have in Kaz that made them look so different???I saw a LOT of guys carrying goats around in Kaz. and none of them ever looked like that!!!!![]()

Awwww.... Cinderella was always Juliana's favorite. It was the first Disney movie Juliana watched.Love all the pictures with the princesses and fairiesCinderella is Addison's favorite too.. I think it has something to do with the matching hair
![]()
You have a great excuse- you've been busy getting ready for a trip that you leave for in 5 DAYS!!!!!!I have a busy week and I fall behind HOW MANY pages?????????????
Sorry Tim, there has been a lot going on, but I am all caught up again now!
I don't know what was going on.Your Kona breakfast was yum and they amaze me with their system! They can't look up a reservation by the reservation number?![]()
The dress fit her and her personality perfectly!!! We love that dress!I love the princess photos and Juliana's dress is unbelieveable. I remember when you posted that it was in your big give and I even had Tom look at it. It looks even better, worn in real life!
I bet those princesses envyed you a lot, Julianna!!!!!!!!
Fun to see that you got in on the Fairies photos! You all look super happy!
Thanks!!!!! You'll be having your own m&g soon!Love seeing all of Juliana's meet and greets.
Thanks! I try.And Tim, I'm impressed. You can't go wrong with a Disney Dooney and Bourke bag as a gift, let me tell you!![]()
Well, your card was perfect for a little princess. You did good!That's okay brother! I probably wouldn't either if I had had a daughter........![]()
So what type of goats did they have in Kaz that made them look so different???
I agree!You are tooooo much Marv!!![]()
Seriously, how did this photo shoot even go?? "Tom, we'd like you to hold these goats but could you give us a smoldering, seductive look while doing so? Great!"
I'm sure she saw some characters around when that whip was purchased!Liesa, are you sure you didn't see him around Kazakhstan (is that spelled correctly?), maybe when you purchased Tim's whip??![]()
It was a great morning... and I hope to have the rest of the a.m. coming up tonight... hopefully.Getting caught up...I was a couple of chapters behind. Looks like you had a great time at Kona and visiting with the princesses and fairies. What a wonderful morning!
I wouldn't have it any other way!Now that's a Disney Dad right there.![]()
Thanks!!!!Look at Juliana's Cinderella dress!!!! SO cute.
That's ok! I'll be watching for it.P.S: I doubt Juliana will receive her V-Day gift before the actual day. Maybe a week late, oops.
Yea, she was really tiny! I was towering over her.I can never believe how tiny Tinkerbell is. hehe That's my nickname. I may have her personality, but so not her waist size lol
