Disney 2012: Dinner at the Castle

Thursday evening was a big night - dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table.  We were all looking forward to getting a glimpse inside the castle, and we were not disappointed.

Claire is - to put it mildly - particular about what she wears.  I knew a lot of the little girls would be dressed in princess dresses, but I knew she probably would not enjoy wearing one herself (too scratchy, sleeves too short, you name it,...), so before our trip I took her to the mall and let her pick out a special dress.  We found one that we both thought was cute.  She told me that she felt very beautiful in it.  :)

We got to the Magic Kingdom in time for a couple of photos outside before our dinner, and then it was time to meet Cinderella.

We had the best experience - one of the top highlights of the trip for all of us.  The food was good, the princesses were sweet, and there was something especially magical about being in the castle at night.

Ariel said that Will's hug was one of the best she'd ever received.  :)

The park was closing at 7 that night for the Christmas party, but we had time for another ride on the carousel and a chance at the Sword in the Stone.

The castle at night - the large windows near the bottom of the photo are the restaurant windows.  Beautiful!

It was time to go, and as we made our way down Main Street, the snow started for the party.  It was a magical end to a wonderful evening in the Kingdom.
