Disney's Debut in London

RAPUNZEL HERSELF.

The weather in London has been rather unusual for this time of year. It's been in the 80s in OCTOBER. I've been bummed, because I love the cool crispness that fall brings and the sweaters, and mostly because I didn't bring any "summery" clothing, so I've been roasting, but Sunday's warm weather seemed to be way too suiting for the occasion -- a royal coronation for Princess Rapunzel! Rapunzel is now Disney's tenth princess, and we got to see the parade. The nine other princesses were present as well riding in horse-drawn carriages. We took a two minute walk to Hyde Park to see them all ride by. We were surrounded by mostly little children five and under, and I kind of wished I had brought my Rapunzel attire to London Town, but it was a good sunny day. The coronation took place at Kensington Palace, where Kate and William stay on the weekends. I was so excited to see Ariel and Aurora and Cinderella and Jasmine and Tiana and Pocahontas and Snow White and my favorite, Mulan. We live in such an amazing place, and the parade was the perfect Sunday activity between conference sessions. (I'll blog about conference later, because it was more than amazing).

*I of course wasn't able to catch a picture of Rapunzel, but luckily my friend Kendal was willing to share her photo. :)

Waiting was a rough go for us all.

Tiana

Pocahontas and Mulan two of my favorites had to share a carriage. Disney couldn't round up one more carriage?

Belle-- I used to dress up as her on the daily when I was younger.

Ariel -- Love the hair.

Aurora

Cinderella -- She's a classic.

Jasmine-- Arabian beauty

Snow White

Guess who was probably the most excited? This kid (Can you spot Lisa?).

Notice the extreme hair cut…. It was a brave move on my part.
