First Pass

Emma was super excited to get her very own Disneyland Pass this morning, just like Mommy and Daddy's with her very own picture on it. She practiced her smile, wore her princess necklace and packed her Tinkerbell backpack full of accessories. It was a big day.

All was going good until the lady asked her to "smile like a princess" for the picture and Emma gave her a little something like this...
A little surprised, I laughed and smiled at my adorable little 3 year old. I couldn't have been more proud. I thought it was great. Unfortunately Cruella De Ville was working the station and wouldn't allow for that kind of picture. After some explaining (on both ends), she asked Emma again to smile like a princess and again we got something like this...
and this...
and this...
Lady, don't you know that IS how a Princess smiles?

Four shots later, one frustrated Disney employee, and a heart to heart with Emma and WA-LA, one beautiful simple smile. Everyone was happy, kind of.

Just one more thing on our to do list...find Minnie and show her the pass. Lucky for us, we ran right into her.
Such a happy place. Can't wait for another year of Disneyland Fun!

How much do I love Emma?!! I love this story! Yes, that employee needs to get with it. I love her princess smile, it is perfect. And I love that she ran in to Minnie. I need to see how the final picture turned out:)

Does that girl take after her mother, or what? I can't believe Disney would employ such a humorless person!

Judy said...

P.S. I had the hardest time figuring out what WA-LA was. I'll bet you didn't run that past your French speaking hubby...

Why couldn't she smile how she wanted to? She has the biggest personality for such a little thing! And I am SO jealous that you get to go to the Happiest Place on Earth anytime you want! So fun!

That is so funny.

I suppose Cruella deVille has to be employed somewhere at the park. But I think she should be selling churros over by the haunted mansion.
