We celebrated dd's 3rd bday at Cindy's breakfast on Wed. This was great! It takes alot to impress my dad, and he liked it so much that he asked about making more reservations for another breakfast there. He mentioned it a few times.
OK on to our story... we go into the downstairs hall, Fairy Godmother is on the throne for pics and autographs. DD3 did great with her, ds4 wanted nothing to do with her at this point. This was our first morning at WDW and I think he was overwhelmed. When your table is ready, they announce "noble ______ family, your table is ready". They call men - m'lord (my dad ate that up, he is so "old country"), women- m'lady, girls -princess and boys- prince. As you go up the stairs, there is a stained glass window with a picture of Cinderella. I can see why it is so hard to get reservations, the restaurant is very small.
Before I forget, this place is wheelchair accessible. There is an elevator and there is a special restroom for folks in wheelchairs and their escorts.
We sat on the inside of the room so I can't comment on the view from the windows. They request that children sit on the outside of the table so the characters can interact with them better.
When we arrived at the table, there was Mickey confetti. Cute stuff. There were little bowls of fresh fruit and a yogurt dipping sauce. Baskets with muffins and croissants. The food is all you can eat. It is not family style, each person gets their own plate with everything on it. There are scrambled eggs (hot and fluffy, not at all rubbery), really good hash browns, that yummy cream cheese stuffed french toast with berry sauce, and bacon & sausage. DS got french toast sticks, eggs and bacon. DD's meal was free since she wasn't 3 yet, so she got french toast sticks. We were all very happy with the food and would definitely eat there again. They brought dd a cupcake with candle, I believe they sang happy birthday? I don't remember. She also received a magical moment certificate.
The princesses started coming around pretty much immediately after we got our food so we didn't get to eat it while it was hot, lol. But they just kept coming, and it was nice that we were able to move right onto the rest of the park when we were done eating, rather than sit and wait for them to reach our table.
We saw Cinderella, Belle, Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Fairy Godmother again. Each looked realistic, especially Belle and Snow White. Snow White had an amazing smile, her whole face lit up while talking with the kids. When she gave her autograph, she kissed the paper and left a lip print.
Mary Poppins did the best interacting with them. She carried on a conversation with them. When she saw ds wearing a Pooh shirt, she asked if they had ridden the Poo ride yet. He told her that he colored a picture for Tigger & Pooh. I felt like crawling under the table b/c we didn't have a picture for her. We didn't expect to see Mary Poppins.
Cinderella is my dd's all-time favorite. She was so happy to see her. Both my kids had colored a picture for her. She was really sweet. She acted like this was the best thing anyone had ever done for her. Even after she left the table, a few minutes later she was getting ready to leave the room, she made sure to wave the papers to the kids so they could see she was taking the pictures with her.
As an added bonus, we went on the carousel immediately after this. As we were leaving the ride, the CM pointed out to dd that Cinderella was waving outside the castle from an upper floor, so dd enjoyed waving to her.
