Day 14 Part 2 AKL & Crystal Palace
Here are a few more shots of us enjoying the views on the savannah
It was soon time for us to head off for MK, where we had managed to get a last minute ADR at Crystal Palace, for our last supper. We soon caught a bus and got to MK at around 8-30pm.
Everyone was already in position for the light parade when we got there, so we headed off to see if we could get on Buzz. Unfortunately, the line was very long, so we went to check in at the Palace & watched the parade as we waited to be seated. We got a nice table by the window, overlooking the castle. I have to say, we really enjoyed the food in here, which is buffet style with plenty of choice & very good quality. This was made all the more enjoyable by the character interaction with Pooh, Tigger, Ee-haw & Piglet.
This was our first real experience with the characters this year, as opposed to previous years where we had spent hours in line waiting for the kids to get autographs & pictures. They certainly spent plenty of time mingling with the guests & did a parade around the restaurant with all the kids following on behind, waving flags & singing etc - If only my two youngest grandsons were here!! We got to see all the fireworks from our table & this had been a really lovely meal experience, which I would certainly do again in the future. There was a very good selection of food, and I particularly enjoyed the salads
Yet again, we had eaten so much, that we couldn't do the sweets justice, so just had little samplers of some of the ones on offer.
