When I last wrote we were just leaving MK to go to 1900 Park Fare for dinner. We hop on the monorail. Mulan is looking a little tired.
The Grand Floridian is a magnificent hotel. Mickey is very impressed by the chandelier.
I am impressed by the live music in the lounge area. It is a very nice touch. I go check in and we wait to be called. There are a lot of people waiting. We wait and wait and wait. Mulan even falls asleep on one of the couch in the lobby. I start to notice that there are people with a similar party size that havent waited nearly as long as have their pagers go off. I go and question the host. He tells me that they have already seated us. He gets our pager and says that this isnt the pager that they gave us but they were just getting ready to call this pager. I am not sure what happened but we do get seated immediately.
The food here was nothing to get excited about but the character interaction was a blast.
Ariel gives Cinderella her pictures that she drew.
Lady Tremaines visit was quick. We really just took a quick photo.
Same with Anastasias visit.
Then it is time for dessert.
Drizella comes by during dessert. I only had one page for the evil steps in our autograph book. There isnt much room left for Drizella to write her name. She makes a lot of funny comments about that is typical of her family not to leave any room for her. We love her expressions. She was by far my favorite character of the meal.
Not too long after she leaves Prince Charming comes by but they start the dance right then. He excuses himself so that he can dance with his princess. Drizella points at Goofy and says Do you know how to dance? He says yes, which surprises his mother. Drizella says Good, because I dont. They end up having a good time dancing.
After the dance is over Drizella tells Goofy that she will be expecting a ring now.
Prince Charming comes back for a quick photo. We are ready to get out of there as it is 8:00 and we had a 6:00 ADR. We head back over to MK.
I cant remember exactly we did when we got back. I think we did the magic carpets, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise and the last performance of Tiki Lounge. All of these attractions had no wait.
We left the park right as the fireworks were starting with the promise that on our last night we would find a good spot to watch the entire show since we hadnt done that yet.

Really enjoying your report...are you ready to plan your next trip??
We won't be bringing the kiddos. I also hope to go again so we can go to Universal and see all their new Harry Potter stuff. My kids all love Harry. Mulan has read all the books multiple times. I think she could probably recite the books from memory.
or one of these 
or possibly this 
I am almost done with the TR. After this quick update I just have one more day to go. 
) We actually took these pictures on our second day of vaction when we were at Epcot. 
is calling.
Hmm..next time?!!! Woohoo!!!
