Sitting within the heart (or sink hole --- depending on your view) between the Merrimack and Shawsheen Rivers has both its advantages and DISadvantages as the royals have learned after establishing the boundaries of the kingdom in the Northern New England region. There is much beauty, geographic expanse, closely meshed communities, and of course, lots and lots of water. In the recent spring 'melt' of snow and additional rain (courtesy of Mother Nature) the castle received a few extra inches of water which temporarily uprooted its residents. Alas, spring cleaning commenced as usual and the benefactors of this unexpected weather incident were the kingdom's fair royals--who earned themselves a brand new, pristine new playroom!
Previously thrown together just to keep them at bay, the new play area boasts new carpeting, colorful decorations, lots of soft, cushy spaces for all kinds of horseplay, and even a 'Snack Shoppe' complete with lollipops, M&Ms, pez and a few other goodies--for both royals and guests to enjoy! :) Signing Time videos (including Princess Abs who stars in several of them) are on hand as are a number of Disney favorites to ensure that all guests have something to watch as sleepovers transition from full-on playtime, to reading, storytelling and movie time.
On the opposite side of the play area (photos to come) is a lovely bar/lounge area for the adults so that all have a spot to enjoy. In the end, while we would have been happier without the extra H20, the old adage remains true....everything happens for a reason! We're even happier with our new 'digs' and look forward to sharing it with visitors, young and old, in the months to come!
