Each princess will have a unique experience that ties in with her story line. But it's unclear at this point if those experiences will be enjoyed in a linear fashion (i.e. do something fun, then meet the character) or if it will be like the testing detailed above, where children can play while parents essentially hold their place in line.

My son got drenched in Pooh's Playful Spot in a water feature I didn't realize was there. I'm thinking parents will be none too thrilled if they get to the front of the Sleeping Beauty line and their child is sopping wet. Not so great for the characters either!
