The day began at the Bippity Boppity Boutique where the girls got princess makeovers. We found it amusing that the twins were taken into separate rooms for their makeovers, yet each twin selected the exact same dress, shoes, hairstyle, hair color, and even the same glitter sticker for their cheeks. Our right brained child went against the grain of her ultra conservative parents by choosing the "diva" hairstyle with PINK extensions. Oh my!
So that the princesses' brothers will not feel left out, the boutique also offers a boys' knight package. While I think our son would look cute with the spiked hair that came with his package, he declined. He did agree to having blue Mickey ears painted onto the back of his head with a few specs of glitter. The boys were not all that happy about the boutique experience until they each received a sword and shield to complete the ensemble. Sword fights ensued immediately and continued throughout the day. The following conversation that took place many times throughout the trip is one that I never expected to have with my son:
Joey: Mom, can I fight with Luke again?
Me: Sure, honey, but please only fight him outside, and make sure no one else is
around who might get accidentally stabbed.
Eating lunch at Cinderella's Castle has become a family tradition. Our daughter outgrew the princess phase many years ago, yet at Magic Kingdom, her fascination with princesses reappeared for just that one day. The princesses were all simply lovely and were so patient with our son who became surprisingly shy.
While I was talking to my father-in-law about how tired the princesses' faces must be after all that smiling, my husband snapped a photo of Ariel as she was changing expressions. We thought the timing of this unfortunate photo was amusing considering our conversation at the time.

Our daughter thought it was hilarious when Cinderella's wicked stepsisters came up to her during the parade to touch her pink hair and ask if it was cotton candy.
