Did we even leave Canada? I swear it’s snowing Dec 2010 TR *PTR link pg. 24*FINISHED*

[Tinkermom76]

After we left Epcot we made our way over to the Grand Floridian

We got over to the Grand Floridian around 4pm and we had a 4:30 dinner at 1900 Park Fare. It wasn’t open when we got there and there was only one other family waiting to go in.

They finally open and check us in and take pics. While we are waiting by the door to go in the restaurant, Tony comes out and talks to the girls (who are in Cinderella and Tink dresses) and tells them to stay right there and tells me to have my camera ready. When he comes back he has them yell Bibbity Bobbity Boo and the doors open and Cinderella and Prince Charming take the girls hands and lead them to our table. It was so darn cute!!!

We ate breakfast here last trip but oh my gosh the dinner was good and the Strawberry soup was to die for. Eryka never likes anything new and she loved it!!!

First Lady Tremaine came to our table. While she was talking to the girls they announced the prince was coming out and Eryka turns to her and says “hang on there’s my prince” I laughed so hard ROTFL Lady Tremaine said to her “we will have to talk about that” too funny

Next Anastasia came and she took one look at Emma and asked what happened to her teeth. Emma told her she lost them and Anastasia told her that was not very responsible of her to lose her teeth. Then she told Eryka not to lend her anything because she isn’t very responsible with her belongings. That cracked me up!

Next was the Cinderella and Prince Charmin Waltz. As soon as they told people to join in Eryka was in there. First she danced with Cinderella

Then with her prince

She was so happy that she got to dance with him!!!

Next up was Drizella. She wanted to know if Emma ate too much sugar and that’s why her teeth fell out. All the characters here are fantastic!!!

Finally Cinderella got to the table and while she was there Eryka apparently had someone else on her mind

We got her paying attention long enough for a picture

Then the Prince made his way over so I guess we can get a pic of him too

Now it was almost 6pm and this was the first time ever it has taken us an hour and a half at a table service meal. I was starting to think people were crazy, but it really can take that long. But it was such a magical dinner

Well now we have to hurry because I wanted to be in line for the Dwarfs by 6pm and that is clearly not going to happen.

MVMCP coming up………

great update!!! We also got a few of those 20% off coupons. It wasn't as great as when I could use my 50% off as a CM the year before but we did stock up on a ton of stuff with the 20% but our mistake was going to WOD on a Sunday to use it It was packed!!!!!!

 

[Tinkermom76]

We rush over to MK and get out party wristbands. I grab everyone and say hurry we gotta find the Dwarfs.

We get in line and although the line looks long I realize they don’t sign so it should move pretty quick.

While waiting in line some lady comes over and asks if I am Natalie, It’s POPPYGIRL!!!!!

I’m so excited to meet her since she was nice enough to make my countdown calendar for me (I might need a new one soon!!!)

So we chat while in line and meet each other’s families. We plan to meet up before Fireworks near the Plaza, then the Dwarfs arrive and the line starts moving.

The Dwarfs decide they need a break right before our turn so we take some pics while we are waiting

See the shadow of my Mickey Ear Santa hat

Eryka pretending to be Grumpy

Then they come back and we get some pics

Grumpy

Dopey

After the Dwarfs we head over to see the Princesses with their Princes. The line wasn’t too bad so I was happy. We had Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White. I still have not ever found the Beast, oh well next trip

I can't be sure but I think he was proposing to my Emma.. who wouldn't she's so darn cute

Now it was time to make our way over to the Plaza to meet up with some DISers for Wishes and the parade.

We head in from Tomorrowland and wait for the first parade to end. We spot Poppygirl and are talking when Katie & Glen show up.

We found a spot on Main St right by the Plaza. Now for some reason Eryka and Katie’s son really took to each other and never left each other’s side for the rest of the night. (I see a Disney wedding in the future)

Now it was pretty darn cold so I went and bought the Mickey Snuggie that I had seen everyone wearing but little Miss Emma scooped it and fell asleep in the stroller wrapped up in it. 2 years in a row she will miss the parade

I got some nice pictures of the Castle and Wishes

Continued in next post……….

all those coupons do is make me spend more money then I would have... Disney is not stupid

love the magical moment at 1900 park fare!

I've had breakfast there twice and love it... would like to try dinner one time, I've not met the Step Mother & Sisters before.. they always seem like a lot of fun though!

It's a shame about your friend and her having to leave so early on her night off.

Love the pictures at both the character meals - breakfast and dinner. Looks like the girls had lots of fun and am glad Eryka found her prince

Was just about to post when I realised you have posted about MVMCP so went back to read. on meeting the dwarves and am glad Emma has also found her prince...looks like two royal weddings are on the cards!

The Dinner was great and worth trying for both the characters and the food

Put it on the list for your next trip (notice how I assume all DISers are as OCD as me and have lists for future trip )

Thanks... I feel bad for her

I guess I better start saving for Weddings, I'm sure Emma's wedding with Prince Phillip will be very expensive, nevermind the security cost to keep Aurora away

 

[Tinkermom76]

While we were waiting for the parade to start we saw this couple that must have been really cold from the way they were dressed

Yes those are Bunny suits

Then us DISers got some pics taken

Next was the parade which I love so much, it is my favorite Disney Parade!!! (so far, will see the Halloween one next year!)

Now we hadn’t been on Space Mountain yet and Eryka really wanted to go and Katie and Glen offered to take her so I let her go with them and I took mom and Emma to Cosmic Rays to warm up a bit and I went to the Space Mountain exit to meet them.

Yes I let my child go with a stranger blah blah blah but Katie and Glen were both very nice and she was having fun. So I met up with her at the exit and Glen gave me one of the fast passes that they couldn’t use for my scrapbook, I will have to put a picture of Eryka and Ethan on that page too then we can frame it for their Disney wedding!!!!

The cute couple

After that we thanked them then we headed back to get mom and Emma and went to the hotel to bed.

Got a cool picture of the Train Station on the way out

Now I really wanted to see the shows during the party and somehow I missed both of them so I guess I will have to go at Christmas next year too so I can see the shows!!!

Great updates!

What a great time you guys had at 1900 Park Fare! I love the dinner there. Love the fact that so many great things happened while you had dinner.

 

[stephielela]

I totally know what you mean about not getting to see everything at the parties. I always feel that way. I am considering doing 2 MNSSHP's this fall (which it looks like our tickers are pretty close in dates!) but the idea of paying for it twice it painful!

 

[stephielela]

Just wanted to add my 2 cents on the September trip (now that i am all caught up) I would totally go Poly if it was me. As for Deluxe, we did it, and unless you really are going to do 1 2credit meal each day, it was just way too much food/time spent eating. We left behind 5 meal credits, even though we had resorted to using some of our credits for QS meals towards the end.

Have you checked out the September 2011 thread yet?

 

[Katie & Glen]

I totally forgot about the bunny couple!! Glen and I are sitting here cracking up. So, what date do we want to schedule the wedding for?

It was an amazing dinner, one we won't soon forget!!!

Ya for our MNSSHP this year I am thinking Villain show, parade, fireworks and then trick or treating. Most of the characters we have seen so I'm not going to wait in line to see them again

I have seen that thread I just haven't commented yet... need to find time to read some of it!

I have semi started a schedule and I have 5 2TS meals so far out of 7 days. I might cancel 1 Ohana breakfast and add CRT which would make 6 so I think we could do it

I totally forgot about the bunny couple!! Glen and I are sitting here cracking up. So, what date do we want to schedule the wedding for?

The bunny couple kill me... maybe for Halloween I will have to steal that idea

I think the wedding should be in Nov/Dec so we can go to MVMCP while we are there

Great update. I have eaten at 1900 PF twice for dinner, and we just love it. Claire thinks Prince Charming is her man too.
The party looks so fun. I wish I could've been there. But I guess I'm glad I missed the cold.
What is up with the Bunny couple? Thats just weird.

The bunny couple was very weird But I bet they were the warmest people in the whole park, well except maybe Emma who was wrapped up in a snuggie and sleeping in a stroller

The first thing I thought of when I saw the pic of the Bunny couple was the movie, "A Christmas Story" where Ralphie receives a pink bunny costume as a Christmas present from his aunt. One of my favorite parts of the movie!

 

[disneybarbie]

we saw the bunny couple too!

They got on our bus back to the Boardwalk after the party (the guy said to me "are you cold?!" when we were waiting for the bus.. um... he was the one wearing a bunny outfit! )
Then someone on the bus asked them why they were dressed as bunnies.. and they said it was because of the Christmas Story ?


Looks like you had a great time at the party

That's funny, apparently it is from that movie... I have never seen it. It gave us a good laugh that night anyway

We had a fantastic time! Saw some cool things and made some good friends!!!

I'm all caught up again. Sounds like you had a good day on Tuesday. I was at EPCOT that day too, just not for too long. It sounds like you had fun during MVMCP even though it was cold.
