Once Upon a Disney Trip

2005: princess hairstylist

One of my favourite memories of my first Disney trip back in 2005 when I was about 6 years old was meeting one of my favourite princesses at the time: Jasmine. I remember the first thing both her and Aladdin had said was how long and beautiful my hair was, and me being the shy little kid I was just awkwardly stood there smiling at them, likely amazed that a princess with such pretty hair thought mine was even better. the best part of that meeting though was while we were taking pictures, I felt them both playing with my hair then turned my head and realized Jasmine was teaching Aladdin how to braid! so I stood there speechless while they sat down and braided my hair. by the end of about 5 minutes (since Aladdin messed up a few times) I had two pigtail braids, one done by jasmine and the other by Aladdin. I was so happy! but too shy to really say anything so I mumbled a thank you, hugged them both and left feeling like a princess. 

I think I kept those braids in for nearly two days after that!
