First stop was to find the secret path to Fantasyland.
Apparently, I never noticed the little path winding from the Enchanted Grove towards the castle.
And, due to that error, Ive never seen Cinderellas Well (other than in pictures of course).
So I said good-bye to Sonny and headed straight for it.
This is a really beautiful spot with a nice vantage point of Magic Kingdom.
A perfect place for romantic gestures such as proposals or fun ones like a character meet and greet.
Actually, in hindsight, Im surprised the Fairy Godmother or Suzy and Perla dont gather here regularly.
Needless to say, I vowed to take my princess here on our next visit.
What 5-year old would not love a chance to make a wish on Cinderellas Wishing Well?
And check out the details on the well itself awesome sculpture details.
As for me, I was ready to take on a Giant!
And what better place to do so than Sir Mickeys!
This little Fantasyland shop was built to reference two Mickey shorts Mickey and the Beanstalk as well as The Brave Little Tailor.
The shop itself is basically themed as a tailors workshop.
If you look closely inside, you will find sewing supplies among the decorations on the wall as well as a painting of the village from the Brave Little Tailor
However, its the more obvious details that draw more attention to this locale.
The outside is covered in the vines of a huge beanstalk.
The inside continues that theme including a brave Sir Mickey making his way up that same beanstalk.
(Note the sewing machine, scissors, and thread behind our Brave Little Tailor)
Of course, its all to protect the fair maiden, Minnie Mouse.
But our hero should take heed.
He is not alone in his quest as the Giant himself has come down from on high to see whats going on with this magical beanstalk.
And since he cant really enter the shop himself, he simply made his own entrance by ripping off the ceiling!
I love that bit of detail.
And to top off our love story, the gift with purchase was a throw with the famous mice in front of a certain equally famous castle.
After all, this is a gift shop (I tend to forget that sometimes).
that Aurora dress soo pretty !
