Don't get me wrong, I love everything Disney. With this book Disney has taken another opportunity to show kids what visiting the park could be like.

It's Isabelle's birthday, and her father has given her six week-long passes to the Disney Institute, including the use of a Grand Vista home at the Institute. Isabelle invites her five best friends, all members of the Disney Girls. Each girl strongly identifies with one of the six Disney princesses, to the point that she believes she is that princess. Each of the girls chooses which Institute class she wants to take and fills out the class name in the pre-registration card. Ariel is given all the cards to mail that day. At the very last minute Ariel realizes none of the girls have filled out their names or addresses. Quickly, she fills out her friends names and addresses in time for the mail carrier to pick them up. When the Disney Girls arrive at the welcome center to confirm their class registration, they realize that Ariel filled out the wrong names on each card. All six girls believe that magic brought them together as friends. The events in their lives are not chance or mistakes, but a direct result of the power of magic. The girls all decide to take the class she has been assigned and view it as a growth experience. The book alternates between present tense and daily journal entries each girl makes in a communal vacation journal.

The book explains in detail what it's like to attend a Disney Institute class, and casually mentions a couple of other other rides elsewhere in WDW.

The book is a beginning chapter book geared for ages 8-12. (the Disney Girls are ages 8 and 9.) It is an upbeat book emphasizing friendship and growth experiences. I would recommend it to anyone.

The book was good because there are seven girls who share a special quality with Disney princesses. They get to go to the Disneny Institue to take classes and the classes get all mixed up. They thought they would hate the classes, but in the end they liked them.

Being a girl who grew up in Orlando in the shadow of Walt Disney World, and being someone who loves Disney like patriots love America, I had to get the Disney Girls series even though I am in my late twenties. I enjoy the light reading, but the backs of most books promise the girls actually "becoming those princesses", and I noticed little of that. I was expecting scenes, well, where Paula stopped being called Paula and was called Pocahontas instead, and we were transported back to her historical world. But the action pretty much stays in the present. Being a Disney annual passholder, I do notice some inconsistencies when the girls visit Disney. For instance, in this volume, it should be pointed out that Space Mountain does NOT go upside down--at least the Orlando version doesn't. Still, it was fun collecting and reading these books.

I loved this book when i was in second grade. i am now in 7th, and i reread it and still liked it. I do think it is for younger readers, but ones who can manage a few tough words. i really liked the storyline, and the whole plot is really realistic. I loved the characters, and it does seem likely that someone would write wrong adresses (i know i have!). My favorite preson in this book, however, was Paula, because she really is determined (my favorite varies from book to book).I have been to Disney before, and it seems to be a very close likeness as to the story. i reccomended the book to my 1st grade younger sister, and she loved it too, although my mom had to help her with some of the words. I really think that if you love Disney characters, Disney, Magic, or Herbs/Rock Climbing/Acting/Storytelling/Cooking/Karate, you will like this book.

I dore this book! I started to read the first one in the plane and everything became totally magical. I am so happy that the author did a super speacial in WDW!!! That just made it even more magical. I reread this book at least FIVE times. I just wish that the author would write the books from number 1 to number 30, so we could share the magic continuesly!

I LOVE this book! The characters are all great, the writing is great, EVERYTHING is great!... I especially like the ending! Also, I think that the girls are really realistic. I've been to Disney World, but even if I hadn't I'd be able to picture the setting! YOU REALLY SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!...
