FA's rambling corner of the internerd

Ok so after lunch we went on the Haunted Mansion before heading to the Big Thunder Mountain roller coaster. We go on a few more rides before we decide to head back to our hotel (The Cheyenne Hotel) for a rest, as it's going to be a long night.

After resting up we head back into Disneyland for dinner...a quick stop for her to get a new princess dress (a different Aurora one than she has at home)...Disneyland looks stunning lit up at night

We go to our reservation at the Auberge du Cendrillon. As we go in, Cinderella is waiting there to greet her, photographs are taken of the two princesses, Cinderella asks "who is your favourite princess?" to which she replies "Aurora"...Cinderella hides her disappointment

At the very posh dinner (including the serving of fois gras to a veggie!) she gets to meet Snow White and "Le" Prince

This is followed by a very lovely Belle who talks with Claudia for quite a while, admittedly in French for the first few minutes, before a kiss is passed on from Daddy. Belle also asks "who is your favourite princess?" and the same answer is given. Belle goes on to ask if she had seen Aurora yet, but Claudia answers quite sadly that she hasn't...Belle comforts her with the answer that she (Aurora) "might be sleeping again" (for those that don't know, Aurora is Sleeping Beauty).

And then comes the crowning glory...the holy grail...THE reason she has been excited...AURORA IS IN SIGHT!!! Like a moth drawn to a flame, Claudia slowly walks over to Aurora totally transfixed...my eyes are filling as I'm watching this...she waits patiently as she's with another little girl...but then Aurora turns round, smiles at her and then heads right past her to our table looking for her!

I point Claudia out to Aurora, the little lady's face lit up like a star. Discussions about dresses take place and Aurora wishes her a happy birthday. Claudia asks if she remembers waving to her in the parade yesterday and Aurora thinks for a moment before replying that "yes, yes she did remember". Cuddles and photographs taken (along with autograph) and sadly Aurora has to leave...leaving behind the happiest little girl ever



After dinner we pop on the Snow White ride before taking our place for the night parade and fireworks.

Again her little face was a picture, she loved it all, was very excited...the parade and fireworks were amazing (and this comes from someone who isn't keen on fireworks!)...the end of a long birthday day is nearing an end.

As I'm getting another kiss and cuddle from the birthday girl, I get asked "did I arrange the fireworks for her birthday?" ...what kind of mother would I be is I answered any differently than a simple "maybe..."
