Haha! It wasn't such great luck in October as we saw Rapunzel as we went in - then she disappeared. The waiter told us she would be along any minute - we ended up meeting the others (Sleeping Beauty & Prince, Cinderella and Suzy and Perla) and finishing our meal - the waiter said "Any minute now!" Another 45 minutes of literally just sat at our table and the character handler came out and told us she had been taken ill 2 hours earlier!! She took our autograph books backstage and got Rapunzel to autograph them for us and told us she would be in the parade anyway - The funny thing is that the walking characters were rained off that day so she wasn't even there then! Typical!!
We're not sure if we're going to do Auberge - Me and my sister have booked it for 30th, but we only have a couple of princesses to meet so we'll see how we do at the pavillion before making our final decision. My sister is convinced she'll meet Belle's prince there eventually, but I'm not so sure!!!
Edit: The days we've done Auberge have all been Thursdays... so you never know...
