Okay, so we had a short walk to 1900 Park Fare. Rachel was fussing about how her dress fit, so Mom went back to the room to get some Fashion tape. In the meanwhile, Dad went to go get food. Well, Cinderella came and noticed we were alone and said she'd come back. Then Prince Charming came, but Dad was already on his way back to the table, so Prince Charming stayed.
Prince Charming was odd. He asked us if we practiced our matters like Cinderella's stepsisters, Anastasia and Drisella. Well... Rachel was confused because she thought that he was saying Anastasia and Drisella were polite and Cinderella wasn't or something. After an awkard silence, I said, "Uhh... yesss..." He then went on to tell us that we should practice them with Cinderella because she's a princess. I was wondering if we did something wrong to offend him...
did he think we were not being polite or something? We are southern ladies wearing dresses.... who did this "prince" think he was?
Well, Charming (err... not-so-charming) made us do the typical, hands clasped over heart 'princess' pose. Whenever the characters want me to do that, I always want to tell them no thank you.... this might be cute for little girls, but it's not very flattering for adults.
Next was Cinderella. She was pretty, but not very chatty.... thank goodness!
Rachel said that she likes it better when the characters can't talk!
We had a little break from the characters, so we went to get food. We noticed that Lady Tremaine was very in character when they played a song for Cinderella and Prince Charming to dance to. She storms by and says, "This is a restaurant, not a ball!"
We were watching her as she circled the room. She was very good at the part. Then, she came to the table next to us. It was a family of four that looked to be from India by names (all wearing birthday buttons) and accent.
"Oh, look... you all have cupcakes because you all have a birthday on the very same day - which happens to be today. How ironic."
Ohhh... we couldn't hold in our laughter! We were rolling!!!
"Sooo... who's the faker?" There was a slight language barrier. They didn't really understand. "Whose birthday is it really?" They look at eachother. "Nobody's birthday?" No one claimed it...
Then it was picture time. "Come on kids, your parents aren't paying for just the food... they're paying for the
experience." Isn't that the truth?
We were all laughing, but it was my mother that was laughing the hardest. And Lady Tremaine noticed.
Then it was our turn. Lady Tremaine came over and said, "Now, I'm going to sit down because it's been a long day, I'm tired, and I like you people." She sat down beside my mother on the bench. "I'm so sick of these little princesses and all of the glitter. I don't like glitter. It gives a false impression - that I'm happy."
Ohh, goodness.
She chatted a bit longer and then we took pictures. I think she was glad to have someone who appreciated her sense of humor.... the little princesses weren't buying it.
We were supposed to look disgusted... Rachel kind of failed.
So we had to retake...
Lady Tremaine was definitely the highlight of the night.
Next came Anastasia. She got really offended when Mom asked her which one was she.
She wasn't going to tell us... Luckily, I knew!
Then Drisella had some funny faces... so Dad kept taking her picture.
I've already gone over the food in my review at the beginning of the TR, but I'll recap a little. Very little selection, and not much of the food is expensive. And the desserts were gross. Key lime pie with a chocolate crust? Yuck!
Dad was not pleased with the price in comparison the the quality. We went there because we were staying at the Grand Floridian, and we had enjoyed breakfast there. Dinner... not so much. It's more expensive and the food is worse. The best thing about the evening was Lady Tremaine. Still, no way I'd shell out $40+ a person just to see Lady Tremaine again. Maybe if I had one of those glittery little princesses, it would be another story.
I'm joining in! Your family reminds me so much of my own. Plus, we were at WDW at the same time (July 3rd-8th)!
Maybe we were in the same place at the same time or saw eachother in passing without knowing. I always wonder if I'm standing around other DISers whenever I'm at WDW. I intended to put the lime green paint chip on my bag as a key chain or something, but I forgot... and I'm not quite sure where I'd attach it!
the TR and the pics!!! We are heading to the GF in 3 weeks and 6 days (who is counting? ME!! 
) Completely LOVE the bags your mom made. I see I have a project to do before we leave. My DD (15) and her BFF (16) would love those bags for our trip. We will be celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday 
and this will be her BFF's first trip to WDW.
