You have GOT to finish BBB today!! I'm leaving in the morning and won't have internet for a week! You can't leave a sista hangin for a WEEK!

And...I love my job/career and all...but I certainly wouldn't be doing it in THAT outfit ALL day long....with little girls....

I wish they had BBB when Lacey was younger. It looks like so much fun! How sweet of you to surprise Claire with a visit. I remember how much she loved it before.

I know. I bet Lacy would've loved it. I don't know if Paige would've ever done it though. She was such a tom boy. She might've done the pirates league though.

It is, I think it wil lbe around for some time yet. It is pretty popular.

I'll give you a sneak peak at the finished product. I have so many pictures that I'm not sure if I can get through all them today yet...but I'll try.

The Tiana meet & greet looked awsome. Kadence had fun with her, but with Naveen being kinda out of character at the begining of her M& G kinda threw her off!

Love the BBB pics. Kadence wants to do this so bad, but I just don't know when we could possibly fit it in. It maybe too late with only 2 1/2 montha to go

I called about 3 weeks prior to going. Of course I wanted a late appointment though. But it wouldn't hurt to try. I know it takes away park time, but it really is something Claire loves. When we did it in 2009 we made about a whole day out of it. We had a late mroning appointment, so we went over to the park and took pictures of Claire all over (with photopass) and then headed in and did the appointment. After we went and did the photoshoot and then visited some characters up front. Skip met up with us, and we went back and got some pictures with him at the photoshoot place and then we headed over to GF for our ADR at 1900PF. After that Claire wanted to swim, so we went back and I pinned her hair up and her and Skip went to the pool and I headed back to MK for a couple more hours and basically rode Space Mountain and lingered on my way up to the front. We really didn't DO alot that day, but it was one of her favorite days of the whole trip.

What fun at the boutique! Us mothers with no daughters go crazy looking at stuff like this! I would've broken the bank at that place. I do have to GDs, but they are certainly not into stuff like that. Of course their mom dosen't encourage things like that anyway.

BTY, Johnny Depp has signed on for a fifth POTHC movie. I saw this the other day on GMA!

Ok - finally caught up! I read so many of your updates today I don't know where to start - LOL! I just love your pictures - the Castaway Cay ones were great. It is always hard leaving the cruise ship - but knowing you were going to MK had to help! BBB looks fun as always!

 

[KatMark]

Great photos as Claire is being turned into an "official" princess.

 

[hardingk]

Love it!!

Claire looks beautiful! I love the blond hair! I must say I'm not much of a fan of the bright colored ones. DD did the fairytale princess last time and I think she wants the diva this time (if we do it). I'm going to "encourage" her to get the brown hair! So did Claire enjoy it as much this time as she did when she was younger?

Thanks. I know what you mean about the ugly costumes they wear there. Disney has some of the MOST beautiful costumes ever and then some of the ugliest. As a hair stylest myself...I would go insane working with little girls all day long. I think those ladies have a lot of patience.
Have fun on your trip!! Wish I could be there with you!

I am so happy Claire loves this stuff. My older DD Paige was more of a tomboy, so after a certain age (like 2!!!) she got too stubborn and I rarely could dress her cute. Her sense of style was awful!

Yay! I had heard they planned to make 3 more total. And they left this one open for another to follow. I hope Pnelope Cruz isn't in it though.

Thanks for reading along Joy! I really want to go on a cruise next year. I hope we can get Skip talked into it. He won't even think about it now, though Claire and I occasionally drop hints.

Thanks. She loves this kind of stuff.

Love it!!

I was happy for the blonde hair too. She did love it. I would say she enjoyed it just as much........ I just asked Claire and she said the 2nd time was a little "funner". LOL!

Love your BBB pictures. It really makes me wish I had a girl too but then I would go broke. I feel like I'm just looking and looking for something to get him there but it seems like almost everything is for girls. oh well at least I'm saving money

 

[Beth D]

Too Cute! I agree with the above posters, you miss doing some of those things with only having boys.

I'm thinking next time we go we'll do a pirate makeover for DS if he's game! Not as fun as mani pedi parties, but still too cute!

You know, boys are expensive too. My son was always costing me money. He wanted toys that were always more expensive than basic dolss like you buy girls. LOL! And he broke a lot of stuff.

I actually tried to talk Claire into pirates league, but she wouldn't go for it. I told her they had a girly pirate and she still said no.

Awesome, awesome POtC pics!!

I'm glad we met Naveen before he left - Benjamin was actually very excited to meet them just because Naveen was there.

I love BBB pics - Claire looks so beautiful!! How fun that it was a surprise for her too!

I think Naveen is still there in the afternoons. But it's that could end any time too. Such a bummer.

Nails were done. I think she picked pink paint.

And some eye shadow.

Her make-up was little dark, but she loved it. I am scared how she will be as a teen with make-up because when she plays dress up at home and puts it on.... it looks horrid! LOL!

A sprinkling of dust.

If you read my last TR, you will know I am NOT a fan of the cotton candy puff ball on top of the head. In the brochure they show it more spiky, which I like much better, but none of the FGIT will do it that way. So even though my DD is now a beautiful princess I cringe at the puff ball on top.

Time for the royal crown!

And now the Sash.

The anticipation is building!!!!
