Disney Day 3: Cinderella’s Royal Table

Since Elyse ran in the half marathon, her only request was that we eat dinner in Cinderella's Castle. We actually made the reservations on our way up to Wake Forest for Garrett & Cait's wedding- so we were excited and very much looking forward to this night.



Ava, was of course, thrilled to be eating in the castle. She has eaten with the princesses a few times, but we've never done it in the castle and it worked out that it was the same day we were able to get all dressed up at the BBB.





Stacey drove down and met us for the day just to take part in the dinner! Stacey hears the mention of food and she is there- just don't expect her to eat a lot, which is why she will be starving in about 2 hours!



We were seated and luckily we had seats where we could look out the windows and see the back part of the theme park. Since we had such a large party, we had to sit at 2 separate tables, but they were close enough to each other we still felt we were sitting together.









All the girls were given wands and the guys (Adam and Uncle Scott) were given swords. Adam just thought it was a big butter knife ;)



Throughout the meal the princesses would come around and visit.





Since Elyse was the 'Princess' at her table we insisted she take pictures with the princesses :)



 





The meal was a true 3 course meal, you chose your salad, entrée and dessert. Ava got a cupcake that she could decorate on her own- loads of sugar at 10:00 at night?! Why not?!





We had someone snap a picture of us with our wands and swords after dinner- we had such a fun time. I think my mom said it was her favorite thing she has ever done at Disney.



The park closed at 9:00 this particular night and it was after 10:00 so the place was practically empty, something you don't see very often. It was nice to be able to walk down Main Street USA and not have to dodge people and strollers!

 



So Ava, decides she wants to lead a parade, she made everyone stand behind her and we all had to march like we were in a parade going down main street. We made Adam and Uncle Scott run up a little ways and video us. It was so funny. I laughed so hard. We were all marching and waving our wands and there was only one other group of people walking out behind us so on the video it really looks like she is leading  a parade and in her mind- she did!

 



When we made it back to the room, Ava had a surprise waiting for her. According to Ava, Tiana sent her this baby Rapunzel doll since she knew that she was dressing up like Rapunzel and she knew she was staying in her princess room. She just thought it was the most special gift. Unfortunately it was time to take her hair down and her make up off. I have to say, I had tears in my eyes when I thought of all the fun we had with our princess. She is growing up way to fast, but at the same time, I'm loving the little person she is becoming! I'm pretty certain we will be doing this again soon!
