Meeting Mulan (Sophia's friend)

After we arrived, we spent our first day in Disney with Sophia and her parents. It was wonderful! It was like having our own personal tour guides, and they got us into every attraction super fast as though they really had some sort-of inside connections. Thanks for that- Susan and Riz! After going on a few rides, we stopped by to see Sophia's friend- seriously- who knew her name when we got there! Mulan was so happy to see her little friend, Sophia.

Mulan was so kind and gentle with Lily. She was always in character- asking Lily if she had been practicing her warrior moves. She understood that Lily was a bit shy about meeting her. She was the first character that Lily met at Disney. Her shyness quickly went away after this first day.

Here is Sophia getting a kiss from Mulan.

Lily did want to have her picture taken with Mulan and Mama.

Lily finally decided she wanted to see Mulan all by herself.

Lily loved seeing her, and she still talks about meeting Mulan. She is also still talking about "Fia"- she wants to know where she is. Below are some cute pictures of Lily and Sophia.

Thank you Susan, Riz, and Sophia for such a wonderful first day of our vacation! We had such a great time with you guys, and we look forward to seeing you again!
