Ariel at Our Table

The last princess to visit our table was Catherine's current favorite (it changes frequently), Ariel.

We had met Ariel just two days earlier at the Magic Kingdom.  She remembered the girls and reminded them that Catherine is about to have an Ariel birthday party next month.

 Catherine reminded Ariel that Prince Eric was with her the last time they met each other.

 Robby wanted a picture with Ariel:

 Even Ariel's dress can twirl:

 The girls are spinning around too:

Towards the end of the lunch, the children were encouraged to go stand by their favorite princess.  Then all the princesses and the children had a "princess procession" throughout the entire restaurant.  Catherine took Ariel by the hand:

 It was so cute when the children and princesses waved at the adults sitting at the tables:

 Curtseying to Ariel:

Snow White at Our Table

I loved it when Snow White came to our table because she was incredibly animated and very talkative.  She and Catherine struck up an immediate conversation about the names of all the dwarfs:

 Sabrina requesting a kiss on the hand:

 Her lipstick kisses were BRIGHT red:

 Even her dress can twirl:

Even after she came to our table to greet us, the princesses wandered around the restaurant to spend a little more time with the children.  I had always heard that character meals were booked way in advance and they were hard reservations to get.  However, we got these reservations about a week before our trip.  The restaurant was only about a third full.  Of course the meal is very expensive ($40 per adult and $23 per child), so that keeps the crowds down.

 My girls were so enamored by Snow White's cape that they used the red cloth napkins as their own capes:

 You can see how empty the restaurant was in these pictures.

Cinderella at Our Table

The second princess to join us at the table was Cinderella:

 Catherine loves the long gloves the princesses wear.

 Notice that both my girls are holding their dress by the side, like Cinderella does.

While dancing with Cinderella, Catherine got distracted by another princess somewhere else in the restaurant.  This was definitely a case of sensory overload for little girls in love with princesses.  Every where they turned there was a real live princess walking in their midst!

Sleeping Beauty at Our Table

The first princess to greet us at the table was Sleeping Beauty.  I don'r think the girls knew what to expect at this restaurant and were shocked when she walked up.

It is so neat that the princesses talked with every single table.

There was some floor space next to our table, so the girls got out of their chairs to dance with and hug each princess.

 They love making dresses twirl!

The appetizers and salads were all on a buffet, which is behind the girls in this picture.  We also got an entree and then a dessert platter for the table to share.

 Catherine wanted to give her a kiss:

 So Sabrina copied her big sister:

Greeted by Belle

At the beginning of the Princess Lunch at EPCOT, we were greeted by Belle.  The girls loved meeting her:

Belle only greets guests at the beginning of the meal because her dress is so huge that she would not fit in between the tables of the restaurant.

She kissed both of the girls on the hand.  A few minutes after we sat down to eat, one of the staff brought us a package of pictures which included three poses: Belle with both girls, Belle kissing Catherine's hand, and Belle kissing Sabrina's hands.  There were several copies of each picture.  This was a treat because we knew a photo was included with the meal, but I thought it would only be one photo, not a big package.
