Cinderella's Royal Table

Our second day at Magic Kingdom began with a breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table (located inside of Cinderella's castle). It took a lot of work to book this breakfast. I tried daily for weeks to get a table before I was successful- and this was several months in advance. The food was just okay, but we didn't come for the food. We came for the princesses! Olivia is really "into" the Disney princesses, and she was so excited to get a chance to eat with Cinderella inside of the castle. The "experience" began with a personal audience with Cinderella herself. Cinderella was beautiful, gracious, and everything that a princess should be. After our encounter with royality, we proceeded to our table and began our meal. As we ate, different princess were introduced and began making their rounds. We were visited to by Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and Belle. You could really tell that the princesses were well-versed in engaging the children. Even though all of the princesses were great, Sleeping Beauty said the most perfect thing to Olivia. She told Olivia that she thought they looked alike. This comment brought the biggest smile to Olivia's face. After we had been visited by the princesses, the children were invited to participate in a wishing ceremony. All of the kids were given "wishing stars" so that they could participate. The girls were also given wands while the boys received swords. All of the kids were told to raise their wands/swords, close their eyes, and make a wish. At that point, the lights flickered throughout the room. I guess that means the wishes were granted. Here are some pictures of the various Disney princesses with my own little princess and prince.
