Taylor's first Disneyland trip that she remembers

As part of Taylor's 3rd birthday festivities Mike and I took her to Disneyland by herself. She had been a few times as a baby but of course doesn't remember. She was anticipating it for weeks and was so excited to wear her new Snow White dress. We decided to go a few days before her birthday so we didn't have to buy her a ticket. It's a good thing we did because the guy taking the tickets said, "where's her ticket and how is she." I said she's almost three and we brought her birth certificate if you want to see it. We had a wonderful time celebrating her birthday and can't wait to go again with the whole family.
She kept talking about Mickey Mouse and friends leading up to our trip and how perfect right as we walked up the castle Mickey was leading the band. We realized just how afraid of characters she was at that moment when she freaked as soon as he got close. See her bails clenching my back. She also would have nothing to do with the parade or taking a picture with snow White. Go figure...all she can talk about is princesses.
She loved story time with Belle as soon as we moved off the carpet circle right in front and she could dance and sing in the back...admiring the princess at a safe distance.
She would take our hand and cover her eyes the whole time on "scary" or "dark" rides like Pirates, Alice in Wonderland and the Matterhorn (now that one I understand).
She loved the how to be a princess and princess coronation ceremony. It was so cute they taught them how to be polite, bow and curtsy, wave and do a dance. Then the princesses came out and danced with them. This was the highlight of her trip :).
