Through the years, he has been alternatively portrayed as a good-natured but short-fused superhero, or a hostile invader seeking vengeance for perceived wrongs that misguided surface-dwellers committed against his kingdom.”

Perfectly Princess Tea – Grand Floridian
From allearsnet.com:
Tweet(Note from Mark: We watched all of the little girls, dressed up in their favorite princess costumes, be greeted by Rose Petal. The solarium was all done up and Rose was showing the girls how to fan their dresses properly for their pictures. Although it is expensive, I can’t imagine anything that would make a little girl feel more special. Between the classical music, the white tables, the flowers — it did feel like a mini-Grand Floridian wedding. Can’t wait until my little Princess is a little older)
Your little girl can dress up and have a special tea party with Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. The tea party is hosted by “Rose Petal” a magical rose from Auroras garden, who will lead sing-alongs, storytelling and a princess parade.

Epcot: Call for a refurbishment, or at least clean up the coins
I visited Epcot yesterday for Mother’s Day with my wife, son and mother-in-law. One of our favorite stops is the model trains set near Germany. But I noticed yesterday and the last few times I’ve been there that people have ruined parts of it by throwing coins into the display. There’s a train car that was full of coins and a mess all around the track where that train goes by the walkway. It’s not only there that people are throwing the coins, as you can see above, they’re throwing them all around the town, knocking over the displays of people. You can even see a piece of pretzel laying there.
I was there pretty early in the afternoon yesterday so I know the staff aren’t cleaning the coins out at night like they should be. There were way too many coins there for them to have all appeared in one day.
Epcot cast members: Please close this attraction for a while and fix it up, then if the coins start appearing again, clean them out each night and donate them to a good cause or put the money towards new trains, buildings and figures.
Epcot visitors: Please stop throwing coins into the display. It’s not a carnival game.
