WISH Princesses at the MK on 2/7 (Faster loading pics!)

[DoeWDW]

I had the honor and privilege of meeting our very own Septbride2002 at the Magic Kingdom on Saturday Feb. 7th. Me (Doreen) and my DH (Todd) met Amanda (Septbride2002) and her DH Brian in front of Casey's to snag a prime spot for Spectromagic and Wishes.

We hit it off immediately. Amanda and I promptly ditched the guys (sorry guys... ) for a quick shopping trip! We had planned to buy Princess hats so we scurried through the crowds to a shop behind the castle in Fantasyland that sells LOTS of princess stuff. We had fun trying on various hats and getting to know each other. Here are pics of the hats we DIDN'T buy - I think you'll see why:

We finally settled on something a little less conspicuous but still befitting our status as WISH Princesses and headed back to Main Street:

Here's a pic of Amanda with her DH Brian and my DH Todd:

It was the first time that Amanda and Brian had ever seen Spectromagic and I loved watching their faces. It turns out that Brian is a big fan of Fantasia so they seemed to especially enjoy that section of the parade.

None of us had seen Wishes and we all found it truly magical. A mom with 2 small kids was next to us. She put her little boy on her shoulders but her daughter couldn't see. Brian was kind enough to hold her so she could see the fireworks better. He's gonna make a great dad!!

All too soon our evening was over. We walked to the busses together and said our good-byes. Every person I've ever met from the DIS has turned out to be so nice and lots of fun - Amanda and Brian are no exception! They are a great couple! I'm looking forward to spending more time with them when we're all together for the half-marathon next January!!

LOVE the hats!!! It sounds like you all had a wonderful time!! How sweet of Brian to make sure the little girl could see the parade. That's just the kind of magic that makes Disney so special!

Thanks for sharing the pics with us!!

My apologies to those who cannot view the pics! I'm working to compress them so they don't take so long to load - I'll edit this when I've ensured that they'll load more quickly.

UPDATE:
I think I've got the pics straightened out now! If they are still loading too slow please let me know!

It did take a while for these photos to load and I have a cable modem so that surprised me.

These are great photos and it sounds like y'all had a wonderful "meet" at MK. What fun. It's wonderful to meet other DISers, especially other WISHers

Say cheese! The pics didn't take to long to load on my comp. (which I must say really suprised me as we live in the country and have a slow connection)! How fun for you two to get to meet, I never thought of meeting other DISer's in MK or even another park (can you tell I'm still a newbie)! The pics are great! Thanks for sharing (I'm now off to look for countdown timers close to mine LOL)

You guys are too much! I love the first hats just as much as the second. Great pictures- what a good looking group. Glad to hear you had so much fun. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any DISers yet, but hopefully will on our Magic cruise in June..... And who knows, if I save up maybe I can sneak down in January for the half marathon-walkinf it of course.
