Dare to Dream: Events with Character

05/11/2026

Sometimes the most magical moments are the quiet ones amid the chaos of party planning💜✨

This little princess was captivated as Rapunzel shared stories from her adventures beyond the floating lights 🌸👑 Moments like these are what make fairytales feel real — creating wonder, connection, and memories that last long after the festivities end!

Our favorite Spider Heroine had a great time swinging in for the “Great Strides” Cystic Fibrosis event at Long Leaf Park last weekend! This was a beautiful event celebrating the families fighting an unimaginable battle, and our hearts go with them as they fight to “make CF stand for ‘CURE FOUND!’”

If you’d like to help support this cause, visit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation website, which we have linked below!

We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow! Please stop by and say hello; we will be inviting the Bookworm Beauty Princess and the Snow Sisters to the celebration! 🌹📚☃️

Tomorrow is our Enchanted Character Walk and we could not put on this wonderful event without the help from our In-Kind Sponsors. 💫🧚‍♀️

The work you do creates meaningful moments for kiddos and spreads the joy of creativity and imagination in our community. Thank you for your support! 👑✨

Hope everyone is cuddled close, safe, and cozy inside on Day 2 of this winter wonderland! While we are always up for adventure, we recommend journeying on foot to play outside and staying off the roads (unless you’re in a reindeer-pulled sled!) 🦌

We can confirm that our favorite Ice Queen was NOT the cause of Wilmington’s blizzard, but our Royal Attendants sure had fun building a familiar snowman yesterday. ☃️❄️

Share your favorite icy memories with us below!

Due to inclement weather, the “Once Upon a Pumpkin” event has been rescheduled to Saturday, October 11th at the same time. 🎃

Come see us at Amber Dale Farms and meet some amazing vendors! Cinderella will be there with gifts for all the kiddos (and I heard there will be a mini-highland cow there, too!) 🐮🐭
