auberge de cendrillon

[teddybear1]

Does the meal still include alcoholic drinks as a post from Its a small world suggests it doesn't

I'm sure someone here will have been to the Princess meal recently, and will be able to help you :).

[thelittlemermaid83]

When I went in January they was taking a bottle of red wine around the resturant and topping up people's glasses.

In September this never happened. So tbh I'm not sure.

[A Small World]

When we went in February we were told the wine wasnt included as we were paying with vouchers (premium) but they would allow us to have some that day (we must have looked desperate :rotfl:)

I assumed from that that it is included normally but not if you are paying with vouchers

[teddybear1]

will also be using premium vouchers so will have to try to look desperate lol

[thelittlemermaid83]

I was paying with premium vouchers and got a glass of wine (never drunk it lol, i hate red wine)

[Calumsmummy]

Hmm... wont make much difference to us either, we dont drink wine much at all.. in fact, we dont really drink at all- how boring do we sound?! :confused3

I will try to remember to look for you next week tho- we are off again ion Tuesday :)

[PJackson]

Gosh, we aren't big drinkers but I do think the wine makes a difference to the cost of this meal - ie makes it better value as it's fairly pricey even with the interaction. I really hope they haven't stopped it - I seem to recall we were left a bottle on our table (but there were 4 adults).... ;)

[karenmoloney]

We got wine & were offered a top up last Friday (8th May). We weren't paying with the vouchers. In January we were paying with the vouchers & we got a glass of wine, no cocktils & no top up.

[Trilli-magic]

I think wine is included, we didn't drink it though as we didn't want alcohol at lunch!

[ema74]

The wine is included but not sure if you're paying with vouchers. We didn't use vouchers when we went in December and the lovely waitress was trying so hard to get us to take the bottle of wine (all she was saying was: take it, please, it's free - as if it was free, we paid 150eur for the meal we didn't eat:rotfl:)

[Lisa_C]

When people are saying they paid in vouchers are they meaning the Premium Half Board vouchers or the prepay vouchers?? We're going to prepay our meal and I want wine!! Step mum doesn't drink it so I am hoping to drink hers as well lol!!

I was talking about the premium half board vouchers. I didnt think you could prepay Auberge but I may be wrong

You can, along with BBWWS :-) We've booked both and it works out far cheaper this way then on the door :-)

[thelittlemermaid83]

I was thinking about pre paying the Auberge in November, how much is it?

[Lisa_C]

It's £46 per adult and £16 per child - great saving verses paying while you are there! And you won't feel so bad if your daughter doesn't eat at much this time around :thumbsup2

While it's dearer than a premium voucher, the meals we have planned are totally covered by our half board plus and we couldn't justify upgrading the vouchers - in effect we could actually downgrade them for where we want to eat :-)

I think we will give Auberge a miss in November, esp as its a budget trip. Might prepay Cafe Mickey as i know DD will eat the Pizza in there lol.

Emma, as you know, the atmosphere there is fab but the price is high... Don't think we'll eat there in July because the girls didn't touch anything (they wanted pasta and then didn't like it) but the cookies and 150 Eur for cookies is a little too much :rotfl2: I think we'll go to Cafe Mickey as well...

I'm looking forward to eating there in September as i have HB prem vouchers but we need to eat in November lol and Kyra won't eat much in there :rotfl:

[dixonsontour]

ema 74 - Can i ask why your girls didn't like the pasta? That's what i'm hoping DD will eat.

Any idea what another child's option salmon candy is anyone - can't find a pic on the restaurant thread

The salmon candy is salmon in pastry.
If the pasta you mention is the tortellini, it comes with an awful lot of 'green bits' which I presume are either herbs or small bits of spinach. No doubt they make it taste a lot nicer but my son regarded them with a great deal of suspicion! There may be other pasta though, I can't recall.

Hi,

We were there in mid April and were offered free wine; we declined as it was the middle of the day and went with the water. People around us who had opted for the wine seemed to be getting regular tops ups.

We booked a later sitting (14:15) and seemed to get to spend more time with the princesses, including Snow White who was absolutely brilliant with my four daughters; they sat on the floor and chatted about all sorts of stuff. Definitely recommended, although somewhat pricy for a family of 2 adults and four children.

[Tillybud]

we've never done this and it sounds so magical but I fear dd wouldn't eat a thing due to the whole princess thing :goodvibes if she's too distracted she just doesn't eat ! I keep saying when she's older but I can't wait to do it !

My 15 year old ate everything - she loves her food ;-). The 12, 9 and 4 year old were too excited with the Princesses to eat much, although everyone enjoyed the puddings.

my dd usually loves her food but she turns 3 next month and I know the whole experience would be so overwhelming for her but the puddings sound good, rather expensive but I can't help but want to see her with the princesses now :goodvibes I bet you had a great time with 4 dd's and the princesses, lots of fun :)

[moominn]

We had a bottle of white wine included (amongst 4 adults) and were offered another bottle. We also had non-alcoholic cocktails included. This was in March this year and we had premium vouchers.

You have to go lol it is such a magical experience for a little girl, my DD LOVED it but as you said she was way too distracted to eat anything!! I think she ate a bit of bread a some of the deserts. Even though, it was worth it to see her reaction :goodvibes

How do you prepay the meal? Do you know if it works out cheaper pre-paying?

[DLPdaft]

How do you prepay the meal? Do you know if it works out cheaper pre-paying?

From now until 8th November, the published price in the brochure to add the Princess meal to your booking with Disney is £44 per adult, £16 per child. You just phone the normal booking reservations number 08448 008 111 to add this to your booking.

[scottwb]

I bet you had a great time with 4 dd's and the princesses, lots of fun :)

We all had a fantastic time and it was definitely one of the highlights. Evan more surprising was that my 4 year old DD let Prince Eric pick her up and gave her a hug - she is normally very shy around people she does not know. We stayed for about 2 1/2 hours and at the end there were very few guests left so my three youngest DDs sat on the floor with Snow White and chatted away.

omg that sounds just magical :lovestruc I think I may have to prepay and add it to my booking that my dh still doesn't know about ;)

[lilacgems23]

I didnt book direct with disney but i read on mse someone prepaid without booking direct but cant remember how :confused3

[MichelinMan]

How long are the characters there for at lunchtime? I was thinking of booking a table at 2pm - will the characters be around much after that time?

[thelittlemermaid83]

I would say they are there till around 3ish as they leave to get ready for the parade.

[scottwb]

We booked for 14:15. Had photos/autographs with Cinderella on the way in. We then stayed until 16:30 and we were one of the few families left. Snow White and Belle were still there and were spending large amounts of time with the remaining families. Whilst we ate our food (until about 15:45) we saw all the Prince and Princesses and the Cinderella mice. I'll post a photo of Snow White with three of my DDs in the favorite photo thread - now that I'm allowed to post links :)

[lilacgems23]

does anyone know what time the princess's start going there for lunch? whenw e went to cafe mickey we book for 12.30 and found it very quiet and this is the time DD has her lunch anyway at preschool so its the time she gets hungry. Even though we ate so early at cafe micket we didnt leave until 2.15ish lol

It opens at 12.00 and the Princesses are there from the beginning

[PJackson]

We went at 12 for it opening (as did half the park lol) and Cinderella greeted us with Suzy & Perla (the mice) as we went in. Then about 15 mins later (once we were seated and had ordered) the Princesses/Princes turned up :goodvibes I found, as one of the first sittings, you get more attention as the restaurant isn't too full (as it does get later say by about 2 pm), and the Princesses/Princes go around the other tables but do come back to you and keep interacting with you as they go to other places :goodvibes

[Tanzanite]

Do all the princesses come out Aurora is she there or should we look for her else where thanks:banana::banana:

[scottwb]

We didn't see Aurora, only Cinderella, Belle, Ariel and Snow White and some mice from Cinderella. However, there is a "show" outside the castle about lunch time (I think) and Princess Aurora stars in this. At the end she goes around and signs autographs.

[A Small World]

Aurora is there sometimes - its luck of the draw which Princesses are there

[britchic4]

We've seen Aurora 2 out of 3 times in Auberge, but as mentioned you'll definitely see her at the Sword in the Stone in front of the castle in Fantasyland for her mini show.
Just occurred to me if your daughter likes Aurora because she wears pink (can you tell I have a small princess-mad daughter?), be warned she often wears her blue dress in the show and Auberge, but pink in the parade.

[thelittlemermaid83]

I have seen Aurora on both visits to the Auberge, We have seen Ariel twice and Belle once. Hoping we see Snow White in Sept as DD loves ler.

[lilacgems23]

DD loves them all! so am hoping between there and the meet and greet shell see them all over our stay

[britchic4]

Funnily enough we've seen Snow White all 3 times we've been to Auberge but don't think we've ever seen Jasmine so she would be nice....

[Tanzanite]

My friend started sewing a blue Aurora dress last year she made pink should i bring both or will her meet n greets be with her in blue thanks:cool1::cool1:

[mommy2ash]

i really hope ash gets to meet snow white there or belle, i think they are her two favourites but really she loves them all.

[DLPdaft]

Aurora wears blue to her Princess meet n greets at DLRP. She wears pink when she's on her float in the parade.

[PJackson]

We had Ariel & Eric and Snow White & The Prince. I think DD would have loved to have met Aurora but maybe next time....

Does anyone know, does Cinderella ever go around the restaurant itself? We only saw her at the entrance/for photo. It would be nice if she went around the restaurant and talked to the children...

[thelittlemermaid83]

Never seen her walk around the tables, we was lucky that on our way out Kyra got to spend more time with her as no one else was waiting to go in.

[PJackson]

That's what I thought Emma. It's a shame isn't it. Wonder why they don't have her walk around - suppose she's greeting people all the time....

[lilacgems23]

when you reserve your table can you ask for a specific one eg near the dance area?

[britchic4]

You can't ask when you reserve your table but you can ask when you check in....however in my experience this person is always looking harassed!

[PJackson]

britchic - you are SO right, the people at the desk were completely flapping and talking v fast when we were there - we even have them on our video and looking back it looks v unprofessional of them ;) Cinderella however was v serene in it all :goodvibes:lmao:

It has been the same every time we've been, you'd think they'd be used to it by now!
This is our 4th time and we've never been sat by the dancefloor so I'm definitely requesting that this time.
Cinderella did used to come round, before they figured out they could make a great deal more money by having pictures at the front. The next development will no doubt be pay an extra 10 euros for a photo with her in front of her carriage. :scared1:

[PJackson]

Oh that's a shame - it's all about money at the end of the day :confused: I must say we did buy the hugely inflated price photo package :laughing: But DD1 just adores Cinderella - her fave and her little face was just so lovely - she was just awestruck, I couldn't resist (what's even worse though as our photo we took is almost the same :lmao:)....

[lilacgems23]

can you buy photos they take off you with cinderella at the entrance?

[A Small World]

can you buy photos they take off you with cinderella at the entrance?

Yes they bring them to your table just before you leave to see if you want them

[Tillybud]

out of curiousity what is the menu, does it change from season to season ?

Wow that sounds cool dress do you have any pictures Thanks:cool1::cool1:

[britchic4]

We ate here on 26th May and it hit the usual highs. This was the 4th time we've eaten here, and the first time we have been seated at the dance floor, at my request. Suzy and Perla were slightly crazy today, never seen them in quite that mood before, but we were first in the queue and Cinderella had to help them up from the floor where they'd fallen as they'd been spinning round so much, and then they were in the photo too (they did behave for the photo!).
We saw Sleeping Beauty and Prince Phillip, Ariel and the best Snow White ever, all before we'd even had food which I prefer as you can then eat in peace and just watch what's going on.
DH and I had the scallops and asparagus risotto which was heavenly as usual, DS had the pasta and made a decent dent in it and DD ate a good amount of steak hache too, although wouldn't touch her mashed potato as it had 'green bits' in it. The children's starter has changed slightly since we were there at Xmas I think, since they had a melon cappuccino in a shot glass next to their tuna dip and tomato & mozzarella. Neither of the children ate it but DH & I thought it was delicious!
We didn't have vouchers and were asked if we did before being told the wine was included....we had - ahem - 3 glasses each so the waitress was very attentive on this.

[lilacgems23]

Hello. Ive been reading about this Auberge de Cendrillon and am trying to work out if its worth it. if i can get my head round all this half board/plus/premium voucher business i might feel better about it as i know my daugher wont eat much of their food.

My question is - has anyone been in the evening? - it looks like most people have been between 12.00- 4.30pm. I was going to do it at say 7pm or something like that? are they open then?

Thanks.

[howlongtillsummer?]

I tried to book an evening meal back in April for my DDs birthday. The agent said it was lunch only due to the early closure of the park. It was actually closing at 8pm so I was unsure about the reliabilty of this, but went with the lunch anyway (hate ruching through a meal in a close to closing restaurant!)

[A Small World]

It usually is lunchtime only unless the parks are open til 10/11pm

We haven't been in the evening, but, it is well worth it when you see the smiles on your daughter's face, especially if she loves the Disney princesses. Chances are she wont eat much of the food, maybe the puddings. If you have premium vouchers then you are covered for Auberge. If you have the other vouchers then you can put the face value of the vouchers towards the cost of Auberge. We were there from 14:15 until about 16:30 in April and at the end the place was pretty much empty - just a couple of other families.

[freckleston]

oh i hope it will be open later. I think the park will be open til 10pm. i would like to make the most of the day in the park, she can then have a wonderful dinner before walking back and falling into bed. zzzzzz

[lilacgems23]

I prefered to eat a sit down meal mid day when I was there, as by the time the parades had finished we didnt have time to eat and get back to candlebration (think its stopped but hopefully replace with something) and by the time this had finished places were closed.

[A Small World]

yes I quite like a main meal in the middle of the day as well- it breaks up the day a bit especially when the park is open late and gives you chance to sit down and have a rest and escape the crowds.
The rides are then often quieter in the evenings as day trippers have gone home and lots of others are all trying to eat
