Being the grandfather of a little two year, Disney is always a high priority on the list of things to see and do, whether it’s going to Disneyland or just watching one of their many enjoyable movies. My granddaughter Natalie loves everything Disney, including a list of characters that I’ve been able to list as her Top 5!
#1. Cinderella
I have to believe as her grandfather that it’s the simple fact that Cinderella is a “Princess” and being the only “granddaughter” in the family, she has claimed that role in our family!

#2. Goofy
I think she just loves the voice and the fact that Goofy is just a lovable character in each of the DVDs she watches on a daily basis.

#3. Jasmine
“Aladdin” is one of her favorite movies and it never fails, each time Jasmine shows up on screen, Natalie’s eyes light up! It’s a sure bet, every time she spends the night, I already know that we’re going to be watching the movie over and over again.

#4. Mickey & Minnie Mouse
It’s hard to believe that the heart & soul of Disney is ranked any higher, but for whatever reason, Natalie “like” Mickey & Minnie, but favors Goofy a little more!

#5 Snow White
Natalie loves the music and the animation, but given the choice, I think she would tell you that not only does she love Cinderella, but is also a big fan of the 7 Dwarfs as well!
