We waited in line to take pictures with the princesses haha… it was an hour wait, so they sent out random characters like chip and dale to entertain the guest… it was really cool! Theyd play games with us and everything… and yes… we were the only guys there above the age of 12 wanting to take pictures of the princesses >_< .. it actually became this huge joke, and all of the staff members were laughing with us about how “brave” we were lol:
