I just want to give them so many hugs Laughing

They always pull out the best Aladdins for public events. He probably costs a lot of money.

They're just so awesome, I want to give them hugs for being so amazing Laughing

He's probably worth every penny. That sounded way better in my head.

I love them so much! ♥

Also, I love that kid behind Linda in the pic where she's signing. She's so like "move it along, move it along! I got stuff to do!" Laughing

And, seriously, could we have an east coast event so that we can show off some of our Aladdins? We have some too!

Wait, hearts work on the board?! Uh oh, something new for me to abuse Laughing

It reminds me of this kid with the Ariel doll:

"You're not getting this back, just so you know Razz

"

I just noticed that kid Laughing

XD That'd totally be me if I was the kid with the Jasmine doll. "Yeah, I'm just gonna take this and run..." *cue One Jump Ahead*

Yes we do! I'm still in love with the one I met years ago and I don't even think he's there anymore XD

It's a hilarious contrast to this one:

"YAY MINE! Very Happy

"

Those are $60 dolls - I wouldn't blame them for running off with those at all Laughing

He either quit/got fired or got transferred Laughing

You guys. YOU GUYS.

This ceremony was worth my entire Expo admission all by itself.

Linda was 5,000,000 kinds of adorable, I got so excited when she thanked Ron and John for fighting for her in the role of a lifetime. She was just brimming with gratitude (a common theme for the princess voice actresses today.... all of them just seemed so lovely; Jodi Benson was on the verge of tears her entire wonderful speech) and joy, and she got to introduce the concert that followed their inductions.

I really enjoyed that Lea thanked Linda for not being able to sing so that she got the chance to have the job singing for Jasmine. Smile

Her speech was pretty much all related to her work on Aladdin, but in the concert, she sang "Reflection".... I thought it balanced out the 2 roles really well.

And the concert.... yeah, I cried through all of it, except for Paige O'Hara and Anika Noni Rose belting out "Be Our Guest" and "Almost There" respectively, because it was impossible to do anything but grin like an idiot through that.

I suppose it would have been hard for Lea to do a Jasmine song, without an Aladdin there to sing with her (that Prince Ali doesn't count. Laughing

). What was she gonna sing for her, More Than Peacock Princess? Which would be terrible, but ngl, I'd laugh like crazy if she did. Laughing

I'd scream in a bad way Laughing

. I'd love to hear her sing "To Be Free", but that song is depressing, not uplifting Laughing

Speaking of Lea..

I didn't know I wanted this in my life until I saw these pictures.
