Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla gave her daughters a birthday to remember as she brought them to Hong Kong Disneyland, along with more than 40 of their nearest and dearest.

Her daughters, six-year-old Maria Isabella, and three-year-old Maria Gabriela are set to turn another year older as they celebrate their birthdays on Nov. 14 and Nov. 15, respectively.

In pictures posted on her Instagram account, Mariel could be seen smiling from ear to ear as she posed with her children in front of the iconic Castle of Magical Dream. To truly make them feel like princesses, Mariel's daughters were dressed in long, ruffled skirts paired with a headband with Mickey Mouse's ears.

She later posted a picture with all 47 of her closest friends and family, which includes her husband Robin Padilla and her stepdaughter Kylie Padilla.

In a video detailing their trip, the Padilla family stayed in a Frozen-themed suite at the Hong Kong Disneyland hotel.

To maximize their experience in the happiest place on Earth, Mariel treated her family to a Fast Pass premier access to eight of the "most spectacular" rides on the theme park.

The best part? They were able to visit The World of Frozen, which officially opens to the public on Nov. 20, all for themselves!

"The best celebration I could ever give my kids. Arendelle all to ourselves with our closest family and friends! The most magical experience in the happiest place on earth! This will forever be in my memory vault! A dream come true!" Mariel captioned her post.

According to her, the highlight of their experience was when they met Anna and Elsa in the flesh.

"I think the best, best, best, best, best part was when my girls actually met Anna and Elsa. The moment was so surreal, we couldn't believe that they were actually hugging them and telling stories with them. They were just so, so, so nice," Mariel shared.

"They even played games with all the kids in our group. Everyone who witnessed The World of Frozen on this special day will never forget this amazing magical journey that we had. Kids and kids at heart, everyone loved the experience and we just can't wait to go back," she added.

Mariel tied the knot with Robin in 2010 at the Taj Mahal in India. Their love blossomed into a family, with the birth of their first daughter in 2016 and their second daughter in 2019.
