Thanks for all your lovely pictures, but especially those of the sneak preview of Belle and the new Fantasy Land. I think I will have to bring an extra pack of tissues when we are actually in Be Our Guest for dinner! To say I am obsessed with Beauty and the Beast is an understatement. But It is my favorite Disney movie, so naturally, I have to collect some items when we visit in September
We ate in the Library section of BOG in March. I was not a bit thrilled with the food, but the castle itself is very nicely done, and I was happy to go for the experience.
You will really like the shop.
I LOVE the update; I'm really hoping Avery and Cayley want to do this as I think it is the only way I will be able to. I don't think Mark is going to want to go and stand and wait 40 - 90 minutes for it.
Honestly, it's really not worth standing in line for for very long. I mean, it's cute, and I'm glad we did it once, but in no way is it a must do or future trips unless the girls are just begging for it.
Wow - lovely pictures Memom, isn't the detailing in that Maurices cottage just amazing. Not sure if I will ever get there so your pictures are much appreciated.
Bella as Chip - SO CUTE!!!! gorgeous picture of her and Belle. Did Brooklynn get upset when Bella was chosen to join in?
Hope you are having a lovely weekend - I think you have a long weekend to commemorate something historical dont you or am I way off base
How is your family friend "B" getting on?
Not long till my trip to DL - need to find a suitcase and think about packing in a week or so.
Take care
The cottage and surrounding area was worth seeing and photographing. I really liked all that better than the show itself.
No, Brooklynn never said a word about Bella being chosen. She smiled at her all through the show.
B is much better. They figured out what was wrong with him after a bunch of tests, and like Jill, he has rebounded nicely. Amazing what a week can do in turning a health problem around!
I love all the detail in Maurices cottage. The picture of Belle and her mother with the book was special.
Bella makes such a cute Chip.
Have fun visiting with family and Dis friends Monday. I look forward to the pictures.
Yes, it is sweet that the mother and daughter picture was there. now the question is, how did that beautiful mom end up with the quirky little inventor?
Bella got lots of oohs and aahs from the audience as she did her part.

I was surprised at how well she did. She listened intently and did just what they told her to do.
You need to take a ride up to Nashville tomorrow afternoon.

Or, maybe as Marc and Anita are driving through Georgia, you could meet them at an exit for a quick hello.
Bella is so adorable in Belle's Enchanted Tales!! I'm sure she did a great job! We haven't been in to see it yet...each time we've gone the line has been longer than or at 40 minutes, we say we'll come back to it later and then don't. I want to make it a priority next time...the girls really want to see it...and now I do, too, after seeing your pictures.
Watched the livestream for awhile last night - caught the parade, castle show twice and fireworks. Miren (DD9) kept saying: "this is so sad..." Because there was no music. She hummed the MSEP music along with the parade. It was fun watching the people waving. I saw your fb post that Leslee would be waving, but i didn't see her. Did you??
Glad your family friend is doing better.
Hope the girls enjoyed the zoo today!!
They would like it, but I really wouldn't wait for a long time for it. It's not
that great. It's cute, but more like a '20 minute wait' cute.
Jen said it was too crowded when they got there, and they were going to wave after the parade and Wishes, but then I think they met some other friends. I didn't watch after Wishes. She didn't text me, so i really don't know if they did or didn't.
It was a very nice day at the zoo. We stayed about four hours. We saw all the animals, ate lunch, and let the girls play on the playground.
