WDW- Cinderella's castle lunch - Epcot- 21 September 2011
Part 2....
Ok, so where was I up too......oh thats right, lounging by the pool..
So after tanning up to meet the princesses, we toddle back to our castle, shower and pretty up to meet them.
Leaving our clown car at home [ i just have to include the photo].....
we venture by foot to MK, walking along the path leading from Contempoary to MK........
Now remember its hot hot hot, the MK is nuts around lunch time anyway, and when you get within a mile of the castle you better be watching your feet, as small maurauding princesses are rampaging.
Not a relaxing way to start the experience, and then we had the nerve..I say the nerve of turning up 15 minutes early.
Side note: The DH wasnt too chuffed about going in the first place, I had dragged him from pool heaven, made him put on shoes and now he has to wait to even get in the place, oh and did I mention the small kids and heat.
Anyway, we seek shelter in the princess shop....I know, what the hell was I thinking, as if it wasnt traumatic enough on the poor boy already.
Finally, we go back and check in ....to then be corraled in another waiting room with 2 chairs and 100 people in a four by four space....can you see where this may be going.
After getting pic taken with Cindy
we are ushered into another parking spot, told to sit and then we wait again.....
Finally.........we are taken up the stairs [ after being told ladies loo isnt working up the top , so if nature calls I'd have to toddle back down to use the one on ground level]....can you hear him tutting about now...
To be seated in the castle....[insert trumpet blast here].
our view from our window seat
So we sit, we are excited...then this rude family of 8 rock up to sit next to me, the fat spanish dude nearly wipes me out with his backpack and then his fat butt...the mood rapidly disapears from then....they are loud, annoying and speaking spanish. Ok, I did get him back when he encroached in my space by stabbing him "accidently" in the butt with my wand...seriously, I could have clobbered him with it.And my DH, being ever so vigilant to the mood and feeling of his DW......so was getting agravated and annoyed as well.....
Oh well....we still had a nice meal...with a wand and a sword to take home
So back to the food.....
DH's meal
Mine
Dessert
So all in all, we had a fair time at cindy's.....food was great, server was fine ...just so crowded and loud.
Me meeting Snowy....
The princesses were awesome, they chatted to everyone, and made you feel special. They are so in character.They even made Dh blush..so really it was money well spent.
So now that I made the boy go thru this ordeal, i ask...what do you want to do now.....ok you guessed it..back to the pool.
The afternoon was spent de-stressing by the pool, having a nanna nap then getting ready for our meal at Epcot...Le Chefs de france..
Now I have RAVED about how great this place is to DH [ you can see whats going to happen cant you]....
My seafood meal
DH's duck which he said was fantastic
DH's dessert
Mine....
After waiting 25 minutes to be seated for a 8pm meal, he's hungry, tired, sunburnt and annoyed....but after the air con, the bread and a few glasses of water he was a happy man again.....
The service was typically french..they ignore you the first 15 minutes, insult you the next 30, then suck up the final 10.........although their short black was awesome and worth the bother.
So waiting til the fireworks finished, we meandered out, taking our time watching all the drunks try to walk straight
, smelling the roses. Monorail back to Contemporary, quick snack @ contempo then a swim and bed.
Interesting day to say the least......travel, a great way to get to know your partner
