Monday 10th October
It was a bright and early start on Monday morning as we were heading to the Magic Kingdom for an 8am Breakfast at Cinderellas Royal Table
This is one of those ADRs that I had been going back and forth with prior to our trip; we actually had an ADR here for our previous vacation in May but I ended up canceling it a couple of days before we were due to eat there
Weve done character meals in the past and have always really enjoyed them; give me big, furry and mute characters and I will happily chat away for hours on end but put me in front of someone who can answer back and I am stuck for words (a very rare event for me
)
I mean what do you talk to Snow White about, I fear we have little in common
I also thought it may be a bridge too far for DH, although he assured me that he was quite happy to indulge my desire to eat in every restaurant possible at WDW; he really is such a good sport as I suspect that a Princess Breakfast was not at the top of his Must Do vacation activities
Once we arrived at MK it wasnt long before the gates were opened for breakfast guests and we skipped up an empty Main Street (well I skipped, DH kind of strolled) with our ADR confirmation clasped tight in my hand
Whoop Whoop!!
We took lots of photos by the castle as it was still only around 7.45am before walking though Castle to the breakfast check in area
You check in at a dedicated podium on your right hand side as you head through the Castle and check in was quick and easy.
On the left hand side is the check in desk for Bibiti Bobiti Boutique and that seemed to be much more chaotic than the Breakfast check-in area
We probably only waited around five minutes before we were invited into the Castle to have our photo taken with Cinderella; she was of course beautiful and asked if we had travelled from England in a Pumpkin!
Right so with one not so awkward conversation over we headed upstairs to take our seats for breakfast
This is when I instantly knew that booking our breakfast here was the right thing to do; it was just so cool to be inside the Castle for the first time and when we were shown our table I couldnt believe how perfect it was
We were literally right in the center of the window overlooking Fantasyland and it totally made my day
The tables around us slowly began to fill as our server introduced herself and poured us some much needed coffee and OJ
We were also give some Fresh Fruit and Pastries to get us started
Fruit & Pastry Selection
The fruit was excellent, really fresh and perfectly ripe. The Strawberries and Pineapple were particularly good.
DH made short work of the pastry selection and really enjoyed the cinnamon roll; I tried a little taste of each but to be honest I didnt think that any of them were that great and beside I was saving myself for the main event
Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast With Berry Compote & Whipped Cream
Oh sweet heaven, this was incredible
I had considered ordering the healthy option (yogurt, fruit and granola) for about a nano-second before selecting this plate of carb overload and boy am I glad I did
The French Toast was delicious and the cream cheese filling was the perfect combination with the tart berries and whipped cream
DH opted for the regular breakfast plate
Traditional Breakfast Platter
He also really enjoyed this, the sausage links were particularly good but as always the bacon was a little bit sad
the eggs and potatoes were both excellent and as he cleared his plate he looked a happy man
A very nice gentleman stopped by to hand DH a Sword and me a Wand together with a Wishing Star for a little ceremony that is performed with the Princesses later in the meal
The Princesses are introduced one by one before making their grand entrance and visiting each of the tables in turn
They were all lovely but I think DH fell ever so slightly in love with Belle who had a little joke with him and played her part perfectly
Everything seemed really well organized and the lovely ladies spent plenty of time at each table
We never felt awkward chatting away to the characters and they were all a pleasure to meet
We got lots of photos which I wont bore you with and no, that has nothing to do with the fact that all of the Princesss were at least 20 years younger than me and clearly dont start the day with Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
As we settled our bill we were handed our photo package from our Cinderella meet and greet earlier; these are included in the price and we were really pleased with how they turned out (you can add the images to your photopass account as well)
So am I glad I didnt cancel this ADR again? you bet I am
As we walked over to the Tomorrowland rope drop we suddenly realized that here we were, two 40 something adults, one carrying a Sword and the other waving a Magic Wand!
Pure Disney magic and something everyone should do at least once

See there is still a child in all of us 
? If so, so are we 
. There's actually a rather large group of us DISers who met (via the DIS Cruise Meets board) before our Magic cruise in May 2009. We all got along so well 
that we decided to cruise together on The Fantasy 
.
