I think my Lydia would explode if she got the chance to meet "the girl in blue." And Luke would like nothing better than to show everyone he meets his Thomas and Percy trains. It sounds like you had a fun day. It’s funny how are kids are so much alike.

I don't remember anything about it except ... Cinderella. And I got a Cinderella figurine with a watch at the bottom. The watch is long gone, but I still have that figurine and she watches over me in my livingroom ... one of my prized possessions from my childhood!! I know it's cheesy and horrible, and the movie makes me gag ... but that figurine is so special somehow. I can't explain it. I went when I was 5 (I’m 46 now).

I just had no idea there was so much shopping inside! We let Mercy and Aaron each pick out a big balloon ($7 each, I think), as well as spend some Christmas gift money. Mercy bought a set of Princess figurines (surprise, surprise) and Aaron got this cool Buzz Lightyear toy that lights up. Yeah, I was totally shocked at how retail-driven the park is.

The place exists to make people happy and happy to fork over large amounts of money to a multi-billion dollar company. But I have to admit that just being there chips away at my cynical shell. By the time I've walked through Main Street and have gone on a couple of rides, I'm pretty much all smiles and there is something to be said for a place that can manage to do that.
