The Royal Table

Monday, April 18, 2011
Immediately after Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Kate and I headed to lunch at the Royal table in Cinderella's Castle. It was delightful. Kate was in her glory. I am not sure we will ever do it again but it was totally worth it for a once in a little girl lifetime experience.

When you first enter (the very dark) castle, you line up to meet Cinderella...

Kate bought Cinderella some blossoms that she picked out side..Oops:(

Kate was smitten with Cinderella and she was so sweet to Kate too.  I love how Kate touches all of the princesses.

The castle is beautiful inside...

We were led to the best seat in the castle.  Seriously, we were in the window looking out on the carousel and we could see everything.  We felt very lucky.

Fo dessert the kids got a make your own sundae platter.  Kate really enjoyed that:)

At the end of lunch, all of the children got wishing stars and wands (or swords?).  Kate took this very seriously and wished very hard:)

It was a very special Mommy and daughter lunch:)

Tips I learned:
~this is an expensive meal and the quality of the food is mediocre.  You are paying for the experience and that IS  definitely worth it.  Everyone treated us like royalty.
~having said that, the boys would not have enjoyed it so I am glad they went off and did their own thing.
~ It is A LOT of food.  A few courses are served to both adults and children.  They did make me a gluten free meal (I requested it at the time of reservations).

  3. This brings back so many wonderful memories of when we took our daughter there when she was four. She was so excited that she couldn't even eat her mea1. She just sat there in awe, staring at all the princesses. I couldn't eat either, seeing how excited she was. It's a memory I will never forget.

  9. thank you so much for posting about disney! this experience looks amazing and i can't wait to do it with molly. when you have time, will you include your thoughts on the perfect age for all of this? molly is 2.5 now, so too young to really get it. but do you feel kate was the perfect age...or should have been older? what about the boys? just curious. i'm sure everyone has their own thoughts about this. also, were there any rides kate wanted to go on that she wasn't tall enough for yet? thanks, kim!
