We bid adieu to Belle and skipped off to the neighboring country of Canada for our dinner ADR. Yes, we were eating at Le Cellier. We got really lucky with this reservation since we had to make many changes to our plans with the changes to our trip with the shower and all. And yes, we had dinner ADR to Le Cellier during the weekend of the shower. Of course. We really wanted to eat here for dinner one last time before it became a signature restaurant. So when this time opened up, I jumped on the chance and did some more rearranging to our other ADRs.
The pathway leading to the restaurant is just so beautiful.
I couldn’t resist a photo myself, don’t mind the awkward angle.
We checked in at the entrance and only had to wait a few minutes before we were shown to our table. Our little girl got straight to work on her coloring activity.
Now I know everyone who eats here raves about the filet and their steaks, but I have a confession. I don’t eat beef. Yup, true story. I had planned on just ordering the salmon again, but then I saw a new addition to the menu. I’m sorry, I can’t remember exactly what it was, but it was a fish dish and it sounded so good, I immediately ordered that.
Doesn’t it look delicious?
Of course, this is what the hubby ordered.
now back to me.
I totally cleaned my plate, much to my husband’s chagrin. He had taken a few bites of my dish and had also fallen for it. He was wishing he had ordered my dish. That’s how good it was! Our waiter asked me for my thoughts on the dish because I guess they were debating adding it to the new signature menu. And I told him it was divine. Sadly, I don’t see it on the current permanent menu, but maybe it will be a seasonal item. I would have gladly gone back there for that dish alone.
No meal is ever complete without dessert, right?
At this point, we were stuffed and it was pretty late, so we rolled ourselves out of Le Cellier and slowly made our way out of the park. We figured we should get our little one to bed relatively close to her normal bedtime so she wouldn’t be too cranky for her last days on vacation. We wanted to pack a few more park hours into our last day.
Yes, sadly Sunday morning came and we all (my husband and I) got out of bed with those awful bittersweet emotions running through us. It was our last park day. Our little girl hopped out of bed eagerly because to her, we were still in Disney. She was getting used to being there in Florida. We had a lot planned for today, so we busted a move and got ourselves to our first stop…..
awww, yeah. Time for some Toy Story madness. We grabbed FPs and hopped right into the standby line. This was a ride request from our little girl. She wanted to ride it one last time so we made the trip over to Hollywood Studios just for her. Plus, her favorite board game is Candyland so how could she not be happy in line?
Her typical game piece is the red one, so she found it fitting that she had on a red skirt.
Baby Simba and the alien rocket wanted to take a closer look at those crazy monkeys.
Hi Mr. PotatoHead!
We soon hopped into our ride vehicle and whizzed off into the world of arcade games.
Since some of you liked the flashback photos, here is a photo of our little girl standing before Toy Story Midway Mania for the first time in 2009.
And some photos from her first ride on TSMM soon after.
Then it was time to wander about the park as we waited for our FP time to come about. What else were we going to do except stop off and take cheesy pictures?
We stopped to get out of the passing rain shower.
Our little girl wanted to practice her driving.
Apparently she is learing to drive overseas.
Then what was it time for? Oh yeah, meet some characters. First up – Quincy.
As you can see, Annie and baby Simba were also along for the meet.
Then what do you know? As luck would have it, out walked June! So we hung around to give that little ballerina a hug as well.
And Quincy got another hug so he wouldn’t feel left out.
Our little girl found that it was a little hard to strike a pose when her hands were full.

And no, I didn't quite get what was supposed to be in the mine... it looked like some kind of cut glass or something? It's definitely making me curious, though!
I'm glad they showed us why James would be married to that other girl though, because I was wondering why he would even like her. Good to know he doesn't really...
