One of my favorite photos of the trip.
A few more pictures while we waited for our Royal Call to go upstairs.
Another short five minute wait and we heard our names called.
I really like this window halfway up and Id let the other parties go up first so I could hang back and take more pictures.
We got to the top of the first landing and I turned around to get one last shot of Cinderella in the background of the chandelier.
We were seated right away in what seemed like the dead centre of the room and was immediately served yummy orange juice and pastries and fruit. I didnt realize how thirsty I was until I started drinking my juice and Ariana must have been the same because we both finished our glasses at once. They were instantly refilled and then we drank those too!
A scenery shot of the room. I want this style in my dining room.
Our breakfast arrived and all was quite tasty except for the ball of potato something. I especially enjoyed the blueberry topping and Im not usually a blueberry fan. I really liked how it was a varied selection of the menu all at once so you could nibble away at everything at your leisure. The kiwi in particular was delish.
More orange juice fillups and it was around this point that Arianas photo with Cinderella arrived. It was one of the best pictures of her Ive ever seen. I started to tear up because Id not expected such a beautiful photo. When asked to smile, Ariana usually bares her teeth to the point where it becomes a frown and throws her chin in the air. Last year I used the thumbs up request to get her to relax her face, but I didnt really want another vacations worth of thumbs up pictures, so I hadnt yet found the magic request to have her just take normal photos. For whatever reason, she smiled beautifully for the photographer and had her hands nicely down at her sides. Another thing usually captured in photos of her are her hands up and fingers curled in oddly shaped directions otherwise known as stimming. Stimming looks like shes putting on a finger puppet show, minus the puppets. Her arms go up and down with elbows bent and fingers contorted. Sometimes she pulls her hands right to her face and other times she does it quietly in her lap. But this picture was just beautiful. I proudly propped it up on our table and positioned it with our Royal Invitation in an attempt to go for an artsy put together look.
A quick picture of Ariana while she was sitting so patiently waiting for the princesses to visit. I had to remind her several times to eat her breakfast!
About ten minutes later, the princesses started to arrive at our table. Being in the centre of the room I think we were literally the last table they visited before going back to their respective castles. We were definitely spoiled on our first trip here because our visits seemed so very short this time. We stalled them a bit with our autograph book but unfortunately they couldnt stay too long with us.
Snow White was first.
Then Sleeping Beauty came by to admire her pose on Arianas shirt.
Belle stopped over and Ariana was impressed to the point that she was looking so very angelic.
And then Jasmine came by for a visit. We hadnt seen Jasmine our first time, it had been the Fairy Godmother instead, so it was a treat to meet with her.
A CM came over to give Ariana a wishing star to go with her wand and it was time to make our wishes. (Can you guess what I wished for?)
Not too much longer after that we waved goodbye to all the princesses and wrapped up our breakfast. We made our way to the bathrooms where Ariana made a quick switcheroo from glamour girl to ready for the heat sensible girl and it was time to leave the castle. Wed had a most wonderful time which was a good thing considering what we were going to be doing for the next hour and a half was definitely NOT what wed planned.

Stir craziness ebbed any? Now if I could just get Cinderella to pose with Ariana for school pictures, we'd be all set. 
She looks like quite the grown up young lady.
But....it looks beautiful inside and it looks like you had a wonderful breakfast--everything looks so yummy!!! What a beautiful picture of Ariana and Cinderella!!
Hope nothing bad happened!! I will be waiting to see!
