Thursday 23rd July. day 2.
I was up and about at 8am this morning (Si doesn't believe in getting up early on holiday, DLP or not!! ;)), the other 2 members of my lovely family were not in a rush to get up :eek:, so I go to grabbed a coffee and bite to eat on my own! I had a croissant (or 2!) and a coffee, then went into the shop for a pin badge and autograph book for my little princess. When I got back E and S were up and about and eating nutrigrains from the snack bag for breakfast. We were out the door at 9.15am, as we started wlaking past Cheyenne, the rain started again. Evie's coat was still drenched from yesterday so Si ran to Cheyenne gift shop for a ponch for E.

After that short break we headed to WDS and saw the Goodmorning WDS parade.

We attempred to meet some characters but is somewhat of a scrum:scared1:! So after Evie has met "Tic" we headed into Playhouse Disney Live. Evie loved every second of this, even the pre show. She danced throughout and was spellbound. I won't spoil it for those of you who haven;t seen it, but it is a lovely show. Evie was desperate to go on the carpets so this was the next stop.
We walked over to DL Park next and take a slow wander through the park and to Auberge for lunch. I wasn't sure what to expect from this lunch, we only really chose it as we had premium vouchers, it's v expensive!! As we entered we were really impressed by the interior, it also had a lovely sense of calm which is a lovely contrast to the parks! We were seated and bought a drink each, all incuded in the price I think. Then Evie went to meet Cinderella in the entrance which was very special, Evie was entranced. During dinner we meet Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Suzy and Perla, and the Princes, they were all very sweet with Evie and spent a while chatting with us.

The food was super delicious, we really enjoyed it. Overall, we thought this meal was excellent; the food was delicious and interaction excellent. It was not busy at all and we enjoyed the peace of this meal. We also bought the photo package which was v pricey, but the photos were actually really lovely, so we treated ourselves!
After lunch S and E had a go on the carousel then we met Sarah, tony, Taryn and Dan for a ride on IASW, we then had a chat and an icecream in the arcade before saying goodbye. We were all a bit weary so we went back to the hotel for a power nap.
We were back into the park for 6.30 and watched the parade which Evie just loved. Afterwards we headed to the Cowboy Cookout but it was shut much to Simon;s disappointment, this is his favourite CS meal. So tea was at Fuente del oro. Si and I had chicken wings and chips and Evie had the choildren's sausage meal which went down very well., We sat outside and watched the world go by and BTM go round.
We took a ride on the teacups and IASW (of course!!) before catching Mickey's Magical Party which Evie really loved, she loves anything with singing and dancing. I was expecting it to be truly awful but it was actually pretty good (sorry to those of you who hate it!!) There was no way Evie was going to cope waiting for fireworks, so we decided to call it a day!, We bought fudge for the walk home, and wandered back in the rain again!!
