Tyra Banks sent three girls and their moms to Walt Disney World this week. It was the first visit to the Orlando theme park for the children.
The supermodel popped in last night to celebrate when the children attended a royal tea party in their honor with Princess Tiana of “The Princess and the Frog.”
Banks will share her visit with viewers on Wednesday’s edition of “The Tyra Show.”
It airs at 4 p.m. on The CW (locally, WKCF-Channel 18).
Wednesday is the final day of the November sweeps ratings period. If you miss the Disney World show that day, it will be repeated Dec. 11.
Kent Phillips snapped this shot of the good times.
The three girls dressed as Princess Tiana are, from left, Kimani Smith, 6, from Fredericksburg, Va.; McKenna Pope, 10, from Lodi, N.J.; and Shadeh Belgrave, 8, from Jamaica, N.Y. They are shown in the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

We at the Secret Sales office have very mixed feelings when it comes to Kate Moss. We love her designer clothing ranges for the high street and her homegrown success, but her behaviour doesn’t always set the right example to her young adoring fans.
Speaking to fashion news website WWD recently, Kate revealed that one of the “mottos” she follows to keep her on the road to success is: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”.
Although she quickly added that it didn’t work, the 35-year-old mother has caused shockwaves within the industry for the irresponsible message this phrase sends out.
Former Ultimo underwear model Katie Green, who is behind the Say No To Size Zero Campaign, has slammed the supermodel for her comments, suggesting that it could lead to more eating disorders in the UK.
“Millions of girls aspire to be like Kate Moss. These comments are shocking and irresponsible,” she said.
Denise Van Outen also spoke out in anger about the comments.
According to research carried out by Lion Eggs this month, on average, women who are dieting for the Christmas period are hoping to lose as much as ten pounds. And ten per cent said that impressing a man was the main reason they wanted to shed weight.
Now come on girls, buy a dress that fits this season, and if you are going to try and slim down, do it the sensible way by eating healthily and doing exercise.

Claudia Schiffer has always been one of my style icons. Her love of designer clothing, key accessories and casual elegance has always been something that I have tried to emulate. So the announcement that she is going to launch her own fashion collection has got the Secret Sales office buzzing with excitement.
She won’t be the first supermodel to turn designer – Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson have both already trodden the path – but with classic-looking pieces on the agenda I can’t wait to see what she will come up with.
“I have no definite first product in mind, but I would love to do cashmere. It’s something I wear all the time myself,” she said at a luxury fashion conference in Berlin.
“Or I could imagine doing handbags,” she added, explaining that she was also interested in doing something more “price-friendly”.
The German-born icon, who was first discovered at age 17, has not yet signed any contracts for her line and is in the process of turning her dream into a reality.
Claudia was spotted earlier this year on a photo shoot in Argentina, creating the spring 2010 ad campaign for Chanel.

Bar Refaeli strikes a seductive pose as she perches on a swing in racy black lingerie, complete with a ruffled skirt and stockings.
In other shots, the Israeli model adopts some flower power in the Sixties-inspired photoshoot, wearing floral accessories in her hair.
The 24-year-old is pictured for lingerie firm Passionata after being announced as the new face and body of the brand.
Earlier in the week Bar ran into trouble, however, after billboard pictures of her wearing only a blanket for a different campaign in Tel Aviv had to be replaced with a more modest photo.
The Fox clothing company on Monday changed two giant billboards following complaints from the fervently Orthodox community.
The billboards had featured the scantily clad Israeli supermodel on a bed with Israeli Survivor star Noam Tor.
They were exchanged for photos of the couple in winter clothing.
Some Orthodox groups had threatened to boycott the popular clothing chain.
Lingerie brand Passionata says their pictures were inspired by Sixties sex symbol Brigitte Bardot and were meant to be ’sensual’ while putting a ‘modern twist on the Sixties’.
Refaeli was styled as a 1960s-inspired pin-up and photographed by fashion photographer Greg Kadel.
She officially takes up the mantle as the face of the firm from early next year and is seen here modelling the spring collection, which is available from early next year.
The style fits in with the current romantic trend, featuring bows, ribbons, lace and floral prints in flirty, vivid colours.
Her signing to the brand comes as another coup for the model, who has also fronted major beauty campaigns for Garnier and this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Bar, who used to be better known for her on/off relationship with Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, designed her own bikini line and hostedher own bikini line.
In 2010, she will star in an English-language film, Session, directed by Israeli Haim Bouzaglo.
The film is a psychological thriller that tells the story of a manipulative psychologist who becomes obsessed with a new young patient.
