Much to the chagrin of one of my best friends, her sweet little 3-year-old girl has turned out to be princess obsessed. For the past two weeks, I haven’t seen our little friend in anything but Cinderella’s dress. I mean she even wanted to wear her princess outfit to soccer camp. Somehow when someone you love so much gets really into something, it’s contagious because there is something about embracing your child’s passions yourself that creates such a bonding experience. Alas, for her 3-year-old’s birthday, our friends traveled down to Disneyland for some face to face with Cinderella, Ariel, and all the other princesses.

Of course Disneyland and Disney World are great places to for your little princess to see the Disney Princesses, but there are other real-life castles and buildings that can give a similar feeling and experience. Perhaps Europe is out of the budget and traveling with a toddler over seas isn’t on your bucket list. Wanna make your little princess’s fantasies still come true? Trekaroo families have some awesome ideas about places in the U.S. to go to make it all happen.
