We were chosen as the family that would open the restaurant! They took us back before they started serving dinner and we had a private meeting with all the characters. It was super cool. The boys were overwhelmed and amazed as they hugged every character and just got to interact with so many at once. Then they took us upstairs with the characters on the balcony and they made a "proclamation" that we were officially opening the restaurant for dinner. Then they gave us a certificate and did the whole pixie dust thing. The boys then rang the dinner bell. And we were taken to our table and were the first to be served dinner.
It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip!
