What a wonderful experience with Fantasy Friends. In previous years I have utilized a member of my own staff to be the Easter Bunny. I didn't know how much that was holding back the experience for my members and the children until Fantasy Friends came through for me in a pinch this year! I won't be going elsewhere for my Easter bunny (or other character needs) ever again - The kids loved it especially when the bunny was out and about helping during the egg hunt, we had no fear tears during photos either, and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.
Thank you so much for a wonderful Easter Experience - can't wait to work together again soon!
