After we saw Captain Hook we decided to find the Make a Wish Lounge.It is a private lounge just for wish families to cool off and take a break.It was a very cool refreshing place to rest for a few minutes.We took advantage of their bathroom to change our clothes because we had reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table.I had heard in other trip reports that the people ho staffed this were really great and a few people even managed to make some extra special character meets here or fanagle a reservation.The young girl who was there was polite, but she certainly didn't go out of her way to do any "special" perks here.She gave us a bottle of water though.She was shopping online when we came in and I got the feeling like she was anxious to get back to it.It would have been a great place for younger kids to take a nap but for us, we didn't need to hang out there long.
We had reservations at 1:20 and I was nervous about being able to find the place in time.Fortunately we found it fairly easy(how hard could it be? It was IN the castle) They took our info and that went quickly.I was very greatful that this was all arranged by our wish granters and we didn't need to worry about paying for it too! Thanks Chrissy and Dena!!!!! We were quickly showed inside and there was CINDERELLA!!!!!!!! Cinderella or Bella as Hannah often refers to her, is Hannah's absolute favorite and her main part of her wish.Hannah tried to wait patiently for our turn to see her.(notice the gorgeous and perfect dress she was wearing for this occasion-compliments of Lisa)
While we were waiting a nice CM came over and started chatting with us.Logan was wearing his great outfit sent by Sally-who by the way also made the outfit Hannah was wearing earlier in the day.Logan's shirt said "Prince charming in training-Kisses welcome"So both the outfits were getting great compliments, and she was even calling over other CM's to show them.She asked if we had autograph books because she would slip them in between people so we had more time to spend with Cinderella.She noticed our great clipboard and tags right away.Karla had sent those to us.She said something about me being a scrapbooker and how cute the clipboard was.I told her about this board and all the DISboutiquers and she was quite amazed.Then before we knew it, it was our turn! Hannah was quite inpressed.She was in heaven meeting her beloved Bella.Logan actually completely fell in love and got a hug from her.This was the only character he allowed near him the whole trip! It was a fairly quick meeting but very satisfying.The kids were thrilled!!!! For a time I was dissapointed about this because you get one picture with Cindy.I chose to do a family pic and I hate the way I look in it(totally selfish but oh well.I had been wearing a hat and my hair looked awful when I took it off for the meal)I wished I had one good shot of Hannah alone, posed with her but I missed the oppertunity.I stewed about this for a few days but quickly got over myself.The kids were thrilled with the encounter and that is what matters.I also was able to crop one shot and got a cute one of Hannah and Cinderella's faces.Cinderella was lovely and quite beautiful I might add.She was the "real" Cinderella in all of our eyes.
Before we knew it they were calling our name to seat us for lunch.....
