GUEST POST - Pursuing the Magic
A new feature of ENTER TODAY are links to a story personally selected by a guest Disney fan blogger. This article was written by Beth Doda, the author of Pursuing the Magic. Visit her blog at http://www.pursuingthemagic.com/. Beth is also our leader for The Magical Blogorail at http://www.magicalblogorail.com/, a wonderful group of Disney fan bloggers that include BruceWDW as a member of the Magical Blog Red Team. Princess Storybook Dining ~ Akershus Royal Banquet Hall  We made our way to Epcot by bus and between the hotel and making our way through Epcot to the Norway Pavillion, cast members and other guests made a huge deal about the girls being all dressed up as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Emily was in her glory. Hayley, our extremely shy girl, just took it all in, but really wanted to just get to the princesses.
When we arrived at Akershus, we checked in and waited outside for them to call our names. It was already getting a little chilly, but luckily, we were announced in just moments and brought inside. As we entered the restaurant, we stood in line to get our picture taken with Belle. Both girls were very excited. Emily was especially excited because the twin one year old girls in front of us were both in Snow White dresses like her. When it was our turn to meet Belle, both girls went right up to her, but Hayley could not figure out how to give her a hug without stepping on the dress. She tried to do the bend over hug from a few feet away, but Belle convinced her to come in close and not to worry about her dress. Belle was so sweet to the girls and we were able to get some very good pictures. [Click Here] CLICK HERE FOR THE REST OF THE STORY

About the Author:
I think watching a True-Life Adventure called The Living Desert started my enthusiastic love of Disney; I must have seen this film every year I was in elementary school. Of course there was the original Mickey Mouse Club which encouraged me to watch Walt Disney Presents (and its successors). Then the 1964-65 World's Fair introduced me to many new and future technologies (Wow, I can actually see people on the telephone!); but mostly it was the awe and imagination that Walt Disney infused into that exposition which started me on my present path. Much of my life's enjoyment has revolved to a great degree around the imagination and creations of Walt Disney, and to enjoy the work of those who he inspired. So where else would Mary Ann and I go on our honeymoon but Walt Disney World two years after it first opened, and the adult love story began (both my marriage and Disney devotions). Skip ahead to today, and I'm writing blogs and posting information for the world to act upon (particularly contests) and use (like the trip planning information in A World View). Two children and four grandchildren later, we still look forward to a Walt Disney World vacation, of course with family, but also just the two us absorbing and enjoying the most magical place on earth.
Again, good luck and have a magical day.
