All Princess All the Time











>Wow. Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes. Do I really have to explain this one? Didn't think so. The Disney Machine is a forced to be reckoned with, that's for sure. These people are masters, absolute masters at getting people to part with their money.

My friend Penny and I took our girls to see the Princess show and the girls were in their element. The girls are both dressed as Belle although Connor refused to wear the crenalin underneath so the dress screams of “barmaid” to me, but she was happy. We participated in the face painting and nail polish as they were the only free things there. I'm still in awe of what Australians are willing to pay this stuff. This stuff is expensive in the States but here. Yikes!!!

The girls loved seeing Ariel, of course, who doesn't? No one liked seeing the dragon and Malificent from Sleeping Beauty but all was forgiven when Cinderella appeared. Mulan also did a performance wmade Connor happy as that's one of her favorites and isn't as popular as the Holy Trinity: Ariel, Belle and Cinderella.

I didn't get too many shots inside the theatre; too busy handing out popcorn. But back at the car Tinkerbelle and the other princesses heard that the mean mommies didn't stop at the incredibly overpriced merchandising stalls after the show and left bags of toys and lollies for the girls. All 3 loved getting the dolls and read along CD's but honestly, I think they were more thrilled with the lollies and chocolates. Take that Disney!

The princesses left a bag of kit kats for the mommies too...unfortunately no wine. Next year we're bringing a flask.
