I'm finally getting round to finishing this! Can't believe what a busy month I've had.. including moving house, planning a wedding, birthdays etc...
So where did we leave off? Oh yes...
Sunday 10th June - Our last day!
After another late night, we both woke up quite late around 9am. I packed our suitcase (well 'packed' more like through stuff in a case) and headed down to the luggage room to drop them off for the Disney Express Service.
As we were walking back through the hotel we spotted Ranger Minnie, so queued up to meet her:
She was pointing to herself on Olivia's pins and blowing Olivia big kisses, was a really nice meet n greet
We then headed over to the Studios, it was pretty busy but we headed straight for Slinky Dog, the queue was about 30 mins.. which I wouldn't normally mind but as it's a ride time of less than a minute it's not really worth it in my opinion.. but nevertheless, Olivia wanted to go on so we did!
We had planned to do the studio Tram Tour, but the queue for this was over 45 minutes so instead we decided to queue for Buzz. Whilst in the queue I got chatting to a lovely English man who had brought his son over on his own. His little boy and Olivia were the same age, so they kept themselves entertained in the queue! - I did tell him about the Disboards, but haven't seen him on here yet! He doesn't know what he's missing!
Before long, Olivia had her photo taken with Buzz:
He was then beckoning for me to come and have a photo with him, too - but I politely declined!
After meeting buzz it was already 11.30am (where did all that time go!) so we had to start making our way out of the studio into the main park for our Auberge reservation.
On the way out Olivia spent some of her spending money on a new Princess Aurora crown, so her princess meeting outfit was complete!
We got to Auberge on time and were immediately seated, despite all my trips to DLP this was my very first trip to the Auberge and I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Although, my starter was pretty rancid to be honest! It was cold mediteranian veg.. but it was all kind of pickled and slimy!
I had the veal for my main and this was cooked to perfection, really enjoyed this.
The pudding was nice, too - but a bit too rich if anything.
Now onto the main reason we went there, to see the princesses!!
The first Princess we saw was Belle:
She was nice, but Olivia remarked that Belle didn't look as pretty as she looks in the film Luckily, Belle was out of earshot by then!
Next up was Aurora and her Prince, she was so lovely - commented on Olivia's dress and said it was nice to see someone dressing as her as there are normally lots of snow white's and cinderella's but no Auroras!
Olivia was very excited to see that Aurora was in her blue dress, as her favourite part of the film is where the fairy's are chaning the dress from blue to pink!
Aurora spent a good five minutes with Olivia just chatting and hugging, it made every penny spent on that meal worth it!
After such a nice experience with Aurora, I wasn't sure anything could top it.. but I was wrong!
Next up was Cinderella, she was absolutely amazing! She came over first and had a quick chat with Olivia but then had to go off and do the dancing but promised that she'd be back. Sure to her word, as soon as the dancing finished, she came straight back and pulled up a chair and sat with Olivia for what seemed like forever!
She was asking Olivia all about what she liked about the Cinderella story but all Olivia wanted to do was tell her that she'd just eating her face (the chocolate lolly).
We also met the mice, Olivia wasn't too excited about them.. she just wanted the princesses!
To be continued... hopefully will get this finished tonight!
