After Belle, we were seated and they explained that we could help ourselves to the cold bar and then they would be bringing out the hot food.
After we had our plates full, the Princesses started making their rounds:
Akershu's was nice enough to bring out a cupcake for Princess!
Now comes Princess' favorite
Arial! She has always loved her and she is constantly singing like her... "Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh!"
With the last of the princesses, we were able to eat and get the heck out of dodge. FW had just opened and we had some FPs to get.
Now, Grumpy did not know what FPs were. I had to quickly explain to him on our walk to The Land. Yep, we were getting Soarin FPs. Once we got the FPs, I told him we were going to book it across the park to Test Track. Grumpy and Princess were excited they were about to get on some rides. They are both ride fanatics. Me, not so much. But I wanted to participate with my loves so I put on a brave face and joined in. Once we saw the training video and they are showing the car going fast and running into a wall, I nearly flipped. But then Princess looked at me with that excited grin of hers and I said everything is going to be ok.
Waiting our turn.
They loved TT. I mostly had my eyes closed and screaming nonsense words.
Afterwards, with all that walking and sweating the ride, I was hot. We found a bathroom and took off our long sleeve shirts. After a quick costume change, we were ready to proceed. Our return time for Soarin was coming up and Grumpy said we had to head over. Told him negative. Told him we were going to Mission: Space. He kept saying "But the time says between this time and that time." Told him not to worry. "He said, alright.. we are going to miss it." He was all nervous nelly and I was calm as a cucumber. I bet you know why
So off to Mission we went. I explained to him the two different levels. He wanted Orange, so that meant Princess wanted Orange. I vetoed that option. Told them green. I did not want us to get sick. So green line we went through. It was neat. We liked it
From there, we went on Spaceship Earth. For some reason, I thought this was the one with the neon blue tunnel. I kept waiting for it but I never saw it. Later in the week, I found out which one this is on.
Here is our future:
Afterwards, we were on our way to find a clownfish. We stopped at a kiosk and got water. It was getting a little warm. Princess also saw a minnie mouse that she just had to have.
We show up and I see there is a line outside but it did not look long. I should have looked at the wait time but I did not. Here is a pic of Princess outside while we were waiting:
Here is a picture of her inside after waiting for a very, very, very long time:
I promise you, no mouse was hurt in the process of this picture.
After finally jumping on a clam, we head out. I wanted us to go up to the aquarium and watch Turtle Talk, at least I think that is what it is called but I looked at my watch and realized we were coming up our ARD in Canada. Yep, it was already nearing 12:00.
So we took some pics and were on our way:
Had to make sure she got a pic with all the fishes!!
We get to Le Cellier and check in. We wait about 10 minutes and we were called in. Inside is very pretty. It was a dark setting and I did not want to disrupt anyone with a flash so I did not take any pictures. Grumpy was not feeling too hot. I am not sure if he was fighting something, or if one of the rides got to him. For this reason only is why I feel he could not really appreciate Le Cellier.
My family loves steak. And that is what we ordered. Grumpy had the New York Strip with cream cheese potatoes, I had the filet mignon with cream cheese potatoes and Princess had the steak. It was very good. I cannot remember what dessert Grumpy got but I got the maple creme brulee. I never had a creme brule and yuck! I did not care for this at all.

loving the trip so far. Your daughter is precious!
I'm mean look at him!
sorry you didn't like the maple creme brulee though! 
That is definitely one of the cons of going to WDW at Christmas time, although it really is beatiful! I mean LOOK at that castle picture!! Gorgeous!! 
I am amazed how many ADRs you have gotten in. We barely got one in...I had planned for 2 a day and that did not work so well.
Grumpy was also amazed how many people were showing up at restaurants while we were waiting for our table get turned away because they did not have reservations. He would always look at me and say, "We are good, right?" 
Your boys are going to have the time of their lives. And so will you! We can't wait to go back. Hope you continue to enjoy the report!!
