Magic Kingdom Part 3
After lunch, we traveled back on Main St to head to our next character meet and greet: Tinkerbell!!! DD2 was so excited that Tinkerbell was not sick anymore (!) and that she would finally get to meet her! She put on her Tinkerbell dress and walked straight to Town Square Theater! We waited a few minutes with our FP and magically shrunk to the size of a fairy!
Tinkerbell was truly the best we could have hoped for! She was so excited to see a "mini-Peter" and a "mini-Tinkerbell", and couldn't stop talking to the kids about pixie dust, flying, how life as a fairy was the best... she was litterally talking non stop for 3 minutes! DD2 and DS5 were starstruck! When she looked at DS5's autograph book, she realized that he has been drawing pictures of the different characters, and she told him how impressed she was with his drawing skills! Then, the most magical thing happened: she realized he hadn’t met Peter Pan yet, and asked him if he would be nice enough to send him a message. She asked if she could draw a picture of Peter so he would know she said hi. She was very serious about drawing a little Peter Pan next to her autograph, and she was pretty pleased with herself!

DS5 was in awe, and this meet and greet made him even more excited for our next character, Peter Pan himself! (Thank god we were already planning on this, otherwise I may or may not have been pretty mad at Tink for building the excitement! )
We knew Peter was finishing up a set soon, so we « walked with purpose » up to his meeting spot in Fantasyland. Unfortunately when we got there, the character handler had cut his line and told us to come back at 2PM (30 minutes later) when he would be back for his next set. To say DS5 was disappointed would be an understatement... We asked kindly if we could sit close to the end of the line to make sure we would be first in line when he came back, and the handler agreed to make an exception (seeing that DS5 and DD2 were clearly dressed for this M&G, he understood it was a priority for them!)
So DH and I took turns going to the Rapunzel bathrooms with the kids, trying to find the hidden Pascals (more complicated than I thought!), and waiting anxiously for Peter to be back.
Thankfully, Peter showed up again at 2PM sharp and was as excited as Tinkerbell to see a "little Tink" and a "little me"! He was another character who was just perfect for the part: he was happy, bouncing all over the place, doing high fives and just being his own over-the-top person!
He couldn't stop laughing when he saw the drawing that Tink had made for him! He decided to return the favor and drew a Tinkerbell face next to his autograph!

It was another one of those magical Pixie Dust moments that just make everything worth it (even waiting in the cold, sitting on the ground for 30 minutes!) Seeing the smiles, the excitement and the magic in the eyes of our children, is exactly why we bring preschoolers to Disney World! DSwas over the moon and couldn't stop talking about Peter Pan and Tinkerbell and how much fun he had talking to them!
It was now 2:05, and we knew we wanted to have a good spot for the parade. We could have gone on another short ride but we weren't really feeling it, and we decided to grab a spot where we could sit, have a snack and just relax a little before the parade. We were able to get a spot in front oh Liberty Tree Tavern where we could sit on the flower pots. DD2 fell asleep in her stroller as soon as we walked away from Peter (too much excitement!) and DS5 was happy just sitting and relaxing. We grabbed some Mickey Bars (it was cold but it seemed like the perfect snack to eat while waiting for the parade) and just enjoyed the beautiful sunny afternoon.
