Shoes!

One of the best parts to Disney was A's fascination with the character's shoes. After we got to meet Sofia A lifted the hem of the dress to check out the shoes. Sofia didn't quite know what to do about that. When we were done simply starring and being shy with Elsa (she jumped up and down screaming until we got to her) she had to check out the shoes.  Elsa was a bit better prepared and she lifted the hem of her dress to show off the stylish snowy shoes. Even though she was technically "done" taking to A, Elsa told her about the shoes and talked about hour pretty they were.  Anna's could be seen, but she still had to get a good, close view of them. As Jasmine walked by A got a good look, but we didn't get in line because she doesn't know Jasmine well. Ariel was self explanatory with her fin on display for all to see. Note she wants a mermaid fin. We've always known that A will be a shoe girl (her grandmother is one, so at least it is honest) but not quite the extent of it. 

It was also neat to see the shoes weren't forgotten as part of the costumes for the actresses. The shoes were integral and looked quite comfortable, even to my comfort-over-style eyes. 

The amount of detail in the costumes was also remarkable, but I'd expect nothing less.  How the princesses carried themselves and always made the girl in front of them seem like the only one in the room was remarkable to me. A screamed, jumped, waved and made a huge attempt to get to all the princesses before her turn, but the princess never wavered from her current child and didn't mention the weird behaviour to A when they met with her.

Anyway, just a thought about Disney that I don't want to forget. That and we need to go back with more people who want to see true excitement before A decides the princesses aren't real.
