A Special Princess Dinner

One of the highlights of our Disney trip was going to one of the Disney character dinners.  Charlotte dressed up in her brand new Cinderella dress to go meet her favorite Disney princess of all, Cinderella, and her prince and step sisters.

Waiting for our reservation time in the beautiful five-story lobby of the Grand Floridian Hotel.  (Seriously, if we ever strike it rich like the Clampetts, we will be staying in this hotel.)
Giving Mommy a little love.
Eagerly awaiting the arrival of Cinderella.  (Okay, so Grey didn't really care.  He was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his dinner ...
... And entertaining himself and Grammy in the meantime.)
Our first visitor: Prince Charming.  When he asked Charlotte where she lived, she said, "In Cinderella's castle."  The prince, looking surprised, said, "What? But I live in Cinderella's castle."

Next, Cinderella's stepsisters dropped by.  Charlotte got into the spirit of things and looked sassy too.


Last but not least, the princess herself dropped by.  Charlotte was over the moon with joy and couldn't stop looking at her and talking to her and hugging her.  It was precious.


Cinderella signed Charlotte's autograph book.

The two princesses curtsied together.  (Whose hand is in the way of the flash?  Argh!)

Cinderella went over to say hi to Grey.  Well, that was a waste of time.  All Grey wanted to do was this ...

And then this ...

He was determined to get every penny we paid out of that buffet!

Before we knew it, the clock was striking midnight and we had to be on our way before we turned into pumpkins.  We left dinner just as the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom were going off and we got to watch them from the patio overlooking the lake.  Beautiful!

This is so cute! It sounds like you helped Disney make Charlotte's dreams come true. Such a fun vacation.
