THE PIC IN THE CASTLE PACKAGE IS ON A GREEN SCREEN WE SAW THEM TAKING ONE WHILE WE WERE THERE IT WAS IN A ANOTHER STORE (SCRAPBOOK STORE) CAN NOT REMEMBER THE NAME. BUT STILL DID NOT SEEM WORTH THE PRICE..

I wish I could see one of those photos!!!

We've booked the Castle package, because I thought if DD saw other girls picking out dresses then she'd want one too - didn't realize you could just buy it separately! If the photo is really cool, I guess it may be worth it.

I just wish we could make the appt and choose our package when we get there. I hate picking when I can't even see the choices! And with a 4 year old, what she wants now and what she wants then will probably be very different!

So can you buy crowns and stuff seperately?

I posted this on another thread, and I don't mean to be a downer, but I had a very different experience with my daughters last week. We had a very special family event planned (a surprise engagement) so we decided to go on the that day. Here's what happened:

Last week during our annual Easter week trip, I surprised my DDs with a trip to the new Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique as their Easter present...$35 each for hair and makeup. Everything was fine, except that each of my girls was on either end of the facility so I was running back and forth taking pictures. All of a sudden, my husband approaches me and tells me that I need to get to my 8 year old immediately. To my horror, there stood the manager with the hairstylist picking through my child's hair and telling me that she had a parasite in her hair. I said, "What are you talking about"? My daughter was completely mortified as everyone in the room could hear what was happening. I stood there in shock not believing what was happening. The woman continued to pick through my daughter's hair with updates that she hadn't found anything else. Well I finally asked them if they were saying that they had found lice....my daughter's biggest fear. The manager of the facility said, "Here you can look at it". It was a bright orange BUG!!! As a family of healthcare professionals, we know what lice look like. This wasn't even close. The manager then told me that I might want to do a more thorough job of keeping an eye on my daughter's scalp in the future. I was so upset for my daughter that her comment really didn't register for a while. When they determined that there weren't any additional "parasites", she proceeded with the hairstyle. I looked down at my daughter and asked her if she wanted to continue. She shook her head "yes", but she had tears in her eyes which prompted me to do the same. She sat in that chair with a devastated look on her face.

As we got ready to leave, I asked my husband to retrieve the manager and speak with her. I knew that I would be busy consoling my daughter. To be honest, I was afraid that I would be tempted to do or say something that a Sunday school teacher shouldn't. When all was said and done, my husband had informed the manager that she should have talked to us away from our daughter to begin with. He then went on to ask her where she got off questioning our personal hygiene practices....just for the record, we're clean freaks!!!! He also said a few other things that I'll leave out. She then offered the $175 package to both of our daughters. My husband declined and said that it wasn't about getting something free. It was about humiliating a little girl on a day that was supposed to be something really special. She wouldn't even go into the World of Disney for the rest of the trip fearing that someone would recognize her.

Just for the record, we were staying at Port Orleans Riverside. Two days after this incident, we were on the bus when my husband leaned over and said, "Look at this". It was the same kind of bug crawling up his arm. As it turns out, Disney gave us the "parasite" to begin with.

Penny, how horrible. I have two daughters, ages 11 & 5. MY 5 year old may not have cared if something like that happened, but my 11 year old would have been shamed for life. These kind of things kids just don't forget for the rest of their lives. I really hope she can enjoy Disney in the future and not let this unexceptable setback ruin her preception of the "happiest place on earth".

So can you buy crowns and stuff seperately?

From what the CM on the phone said to me, "Yes!" I originally booked the package with the works. When I started thinking about it, I called back. I asked them if you can buy all of the stuff separately, and she said, (paraphrasing), "Do you know where it is at? It's in the World of Disney store. It's in a room full of every princess dress and thing you can imagine. Yes, you can buy whatever you want in there." She said you can buy the exact same dresses and accesssories. Also, she said you still get pictures taken but have to order them off the photopass card. (Fine with me. I'll get to pick out the ones I like best. If they don't turn out, I won't have to buy them.) I decided to change to the middle package. My DD wants to to the package where you are accessorized like a princess. Doesn't that come with a crown anyway? I don't see how she needs 2 crowns at one time. ?? (One comes with the $175 package, one comes with the princess hair style) I am going to let my DD pick out her dress beforehand (doing the BBB in the middle of the trip) and wear it there. We'll let her buy a couple of accessories, and still come out ahead.
