When you are done planting that one can you plant one for me too?

Nicki, I am so looking forward to your suite pictures!  The morning we toured it I dropped my camera 6' onto the ground coming out of the moho.  After that it quit focusing correctly, so most of my su

Congratulations, Stephanie!   It's awesome that you got picked for this!   I loved the pre-dawn Fort photos!   Looking forward to hearing more about your castle tours.   TCD

Your pics are so much better than mine!  I did get one pic that up to this point you haven't posted (and you can see how blurry mine were from my broken camera).  A key to Cindy's Suite:

Funny How the Shopping Went, Hidden Away, You can fit Six People in that thing-

 

 

Remember how I said the Imagineer said that many things were just magical about making this suite.  Here is an example.  They found these two mirrors at an antique store.  They just happened to be one with a man and one with a woman etched into the glass, in the Cinderella period clothing style.-

This pictures demonstrates another magical happening.  She really wanted the fireplace and for it to go higher than the rest of the room for impact.  Turns out that these wood beams hide I-Beams and she had just enough space for her fireplace-

Every modern appliance, except for an old fashioned phone is hidden away.  Alarm Clock in a Box-

This is another magical find.  Can you tell me what it is?-

The colors on the floor, if I remember right, were meant to match the murals in the castle walk through... why else would I take a picture of it??.. right.-

Fireplace-

Another Magical Find, they loved this small chair and asked the antique store owner if he had two.  He said, "yes, I have another Slipper Chair".-

They wanted the room to sleep at least 6 people so in the sitting area they had this couch/sleeper bed custom made-

Gorgeous Stain Glass-

(interesting factoid for anyone that hasn't done stain glass - reds, oranges, and yellows are the most expensive of the glasses to purchase because they typically have precious metals in them like gold and copper)

The hidden away closet and wardrobe spaces-

There is a TV behind that mirror, i think-

"Can you tell me what it is?"

 

I'm guessing a coal scuttle or something to hold the ashes from the fireplace.

 

Your Suite pictures are fantastic!  We had so many people people in there that even if my camera had been working I couldn't have snagged these great shots!

You did a great job taking photos in that small space crammed with people.

 

We visited WDW a lot during the Year of a Million Dreams promotion.  I always thought we would get picked for a night in the castle.

 

But we never did.

 

TCD

 

It's a tiny space but patience was the key... and tons of pictures.  I think I about 200.  Artsy Fartsy then went in and picked the best.  Also since we were the last group to go up, we had plenty of time after she was done talking to snap some extras... I was probably the last one or two to get out of the suite besides  Cameron (Guest Relations Concierge) who held the key to the suite.

It's specifically called a Cinder Pot....

 

I love all the little details.

 

 

Wow!

The suite pictures are beautiful!

Thanks.  A really good camera is the key...and tons of pics

It's specifically called a Cinder Pot....

"Ella the girl of the cinders

Did the wash and the walls and the winders

But she landed a prince who was brawny and blue eyed and blond

Still I honestly doubt that she could ever have done it without that

Crazy lady with the wand--Cinderella had outside help!"

 

Some days you just have to quote musical theatre.......

The Throne Room, Proof I didn't Steal the Pics online, You can fit Six People in that thing,

& Goodbye Dream Suite

 

We will start with a few pictures that didn't make it into the last update.

 

Probably the least used phone in all of WDW, just the sight of it caused us all to giggle because it was installed at the time that most people were getting smart phones and getting rid of home phones.  Though it is probably how you call Cameron to get you some food in the middle of the night-

More Stained Glass or Another Picture of the Same-

Now here is your proof that I was indeed in the suite and didn't steal the pictures from online-

The Door to the bathroom-

Remember the mirror from the last post?  Here is the female counterpart-

Original Artwork of Cinderella-

There is a piece of furniture very familiar to this one in the MK, anyone know where? -

Now we head into the bathroom-

You could just about fit six people into this thing-

Yes, that is walnut wood panelling.  Yes, the throne is made from stone.  Yes, there is a mural to contemplate.  Yes, there is a door that closes you into the room all by yourself.

Pretty nice.

 

That Throne Room is nicer that the Pioneer Hall bathrooms.

 

Do they really call it the Throne Room, or did you make that up? 

 

TCD

 

Nope.  I made that up.  Figured Dave and a few others would get a laugh out of it.  She did however make sure it was the last thing we got to see in the suite.  She was proud of that room.
