Have your kids noticed the princesses are different people?

I handle this one just like I handle Santa and the whole mall thing, right now. I tell them that the real Santa can't possibly be at all the malls at one time, so he has lots of helpers that "fill in" for him, and relay all the information to him. However, you never know whether it's the real Santa or not! I'll tell the girls the same thing about the Princesses...

We do the exact same thing. You know when you have come across the REAL Mulan and the REAL Jasmine and of course REAL Cinderella.

Wow, thanks for clearing that up!! I have not been in years, but when I spoke to the CM while making my reservation, she went into GREAT detail to explain to me that the ONLY princess at CRT was Cinderella, and then when I made my ressie for PSB, the CM told me Cinderella would NEVER be at PSB. Just goes to show that CM's (although well meaning) don't always have all the info!!

That explains my confusion!! Thanks again,

She NEVER appears huh We were very surprised in April when we saw her at PSB. Just goes to show you, Disney Magic is everywhere

My DD4 always notices the different face characters. She even compares the ones from our trip last October. When I told her we are having a princess breakfast on our next trip and mentioned that Snow White would be there, she said, "I hope it's the same Snow White that was in the park last time. She was really nice." We've encountered Alice in Wonderland a few times and she still says the Alice at her birthday breakfast was the best Alice. She doesn't seem bothered by the fact that there are different people for the characters, just matter of fact about it. She is conscious of the fact that they are just characters, not the real deal.

Just to deviate slightly, we were enjoying a character dinner at Crystal Palace and my DD's had paraded through the restaurant following Pooh and friends. (Still brings a tear to my eye thinking of it!) When they returned to our table, my youngest DD who had been following closest to the characters, said "Why has Pooh got a zip in his back?" I was panicking, trying to rack my brains of something to say when she answered herself with "Silly me! He needs to take his jumper off to wash it!" LOL.

BIG BIG sighs of relief all round!!!

Next problem, we are visiting Disneyland Resort Paris next year, my middle DD has already twigged the characters must be 'IMPOSTERS' because they couldn't fly backwards and forwards every day!(Not even with Pixiedust!)

Why do kids have to grow up?

DD had pics taken with 2 different Cinderellas at MK when she was two...she never noticed, but DH always makes a face when he sees the second one in the album, and says, "The first one was so much nicer, and prettier, too!"

I don't know what my little one will do this year, she's only 3. Caroline is six this time....she made me laugh tonight. "Of course they aren't the REAL characters at Disney World!" she laughed. "The REAL characters are cartoons!"

Well. There you go. I wouldn't worry about it. Kids are used to the whole Santa thing every year. It's all magic, the characters are wonderful with the kids. It'll be great. Don't cancel a booking!

Lisa,
That picture of your son with the Cinderella lipstick kisses on his cheeks is wonderful!
