Our last day...
We checked out and then went into the park for our breakfast, not enough time for a ride first but did get some good photos while the park was quiet. We ate in Plaza Gardens and for the first time DD actually ate!!! (We had a job to get her out of bed this morning and there was no chance of her indulging me by wearing a princess dress!!)
We went on Peter Pan and then waited to meet our friends again.
When they arrived we went on the Tea Cups which DD absolutely loved!! Then we went on Dumbo before heading off to catch the Toon Train in the Studios while DH & his friend went to do TOT. DD got to meet Pluto again and give him a stroke!
We tried to see Donald but he kept running off, not funny with a 2 year old, a buggy & a rucksack! We went to see Stitch Live again and then had to run back to Fantasyland for our lunch at Auberge.
There was a queue to get in because of the photos they take. We saw Cinderella who was English and absolutely lovely all the princesses are so beautiful!
We were sat in a corner away from the dance floor. We got to see Suzy, Perla, Ariel & Prince Eric, Sleeping Beauty & Snow White. Sleeping Beauty was wonderful! She spent time having a lovely chat to DD. The character interaction here was wonderful and very well organised, every one came to see us.
The service however was poor. We had to ask twice for our wine, three times for our water! They brought the main course before the starters were cleared, DDs beef was RARE! We were there for 2 hours and in the end left without DD being given a wand because it was so slow it was our last day and didnt want to be sat around in a restaurant any longer than we had to!! I enjoyed my food, DH liked some of his and some wasnt to his taste. DD ate one of her starters, her mashed potato and tried a bit of all her desserts!
Photo time... The Prince's cocktail
DD's starters
Our starters
DD's main meal
I had the scallops in a champagne sauce with asparagus risotto
DH had the veal with mushroom sauce
DD's desserts
Our desserts
We used one of our remaining premium vouchers to pay for DD's meal - the staff thought we were mad as it was only a 19 Euro bill - but what else were we going to do, keep it as a souvenir?!!
We headed back to Studios to meet our friends again and DD was still hungry so we gave her an Ellas Fruit pouch I think you can guess what happens next in the story. We stopped at the queue for the Tram Tour to discover the contents of the pouch were now all over DDs trousers (note, I was now relieved that she had refused to wear her Cinderella dress bought to wear to the Cinderella restaurant!) Fifty baby wipes later the green slime was mostly removed!! We then let her clean up in the rain from the umbrella!
We caught the end of Cars again and then went on Magic Carpets . Last thing to do was watch Animagique! DD really enjoyed this!
We said goodbye to our friends and headed back to the Park for Storybook Cruise, unfortunately we got off this just as they shut Casey Jr! So we let DD chose one last ride and she went for the tea cups!! (Afterwards she wanted to go on IASW again!) We said goodbye to the Park as the parade rolled by and went to do some shopping before we caught the train.
The Eurostar was due in to St Pancras at about 9.15 but it was gone 11pm before we arrived! First there were illegal persons on the line and then we had more problem outside Ebbsfleet. It was not a pleasant journey. Thankfully we were staying in a hotel and going home the next day! DD i n bed at 11.30! Nice lie in followed by a big breakfast and an uneventful train ride home!
Overall an amazing holiday - the Disney Magic was well and truly working!!
Can't wait to start planning our next trip...!
