I didn't say anything about lying to get a hairdo I was only asking how Dtd knows kids age to make sure if I use that one I didn't need to bring anything with me to prove child's age... But if they are just as busy as magic kingdom might as well just do it in the park

Ok I may get flamed for this but I would just bring her and say she is 3 and just have them do everything but the make up. BUT ONLY DO THIS IF YOU KNOW YOUR KID WILL ACT ACCORDINGLY. I.e. Only if your 2.5yo thinks she is older and act as such for example my older DD was able to be in a ballet class with 7-9yo when she was 5 because she was not chatty, able to sit still, a very good listener, and paid attention. So I say all this to say if your 2.5yo can sit relatively still and maybe listen and pay attention a little better than a typical 2yo where as it's not obvious that you are trying to pull a fast one, I say don't ask don't tell. If asked quickly say 3 and keep it moving. IJS

Or don't do it all and follow the guidelines Disney has set for the BBB, has every park-goer should do. If I recall, I also seem to remember DIS guidelines warning us about advising others to purposefully break Disney policy.

It just doesn't have to do with the child being able to sit quietly, but with the makeup they use on them. It is approved for children ages 3 and over.

I always wonder if this is really the example parents want to set--that telling a lie is ok as long as you get what you want from it.

If you honestly tell them she's under 3, they won't let her. My SIL tried because my niece was turning 3 about a week after and the lady on the phone told her she shouldn't have said anything. Honestly, it was so close, a week wouldn't have made a difference in her maturity. We fudged for our oldest's first visit to BBB. She was 2 days shy of 3 but that was the only day we could get her an appointment. No one checked for a ticket, nothing was linked at that point. To my knowledge BBB is still not linked to tickets. I just made an appointment for my girls this morning and the lady said I would get an email reminder since kids activities were still not in the my Disney experience ap.

We were in your position in January. Our youngest was 3 months shy of 3 and we knew she'd love to do it and would be upset if her sister got to go and she didn't. We opted against doing it for either since we knew we'd be back. Last year when oldest was 4 and the youngest was 2, after the oldest was done the FGIT let the youngest sit in the chair and sprinkled her with pixie dust and did the big reveal and the photographer took her picture. She loved it. Maybe you can ask your FGIT to do that for your little one?

In the pre-BBB years we took my son to Harmony Barbershop for his first haircut and he had a fantastic experience there. My advice would be to do that for both girls this time (buy them a new princess dress to wear if you really want to) and do the BBB next time you go when both girls are old enough. (Plus....Harmony Barbershop is MUCH cheaper!)

One thing is the tickets. A two year old gets in the park for free, so she won't have the same ticket as a 3 year old child would have, they will know she is only 2.
I suppose you could go ahead and buy her a park ticket as if she had already turned 3. Really that would be lying about her age though. But if you don't mind giving up the "two year olds get into parks free" thing, you could purchase a park ticket the same as what you purchased for your older daughter, and then everybody would think she IS three years old. I wouldn't do it because first of all it isn't honest and secondly there are concerns about the makeup being on a child under three for safety so I wouldn't risk it.
Part of the benefit of being 2 is you get into the parks free, but, that comes at a price because you're not allowed to participate in everything.

They are VERY strict on age limits and will NOT let a 2 year old participate. Many people have tried, but they always get the same answer.

I think you have three options:
1, don't take her at all, and tell her that's it's a special thing that she will get to do when she is older like her big sis and she can look forward to the day when she is old enough to go,
2, buy her a park ticket as if she is already 3
3, If you want to give her a nice experience but not have to lie about age, you can just take her to mickeys barbershop to get her hair done (they take babies) and bring a special dress you can give her to wear so that she can be a Princess too.

I agree with this the specific age for BBB is 3 to 12 because of the makeup specifically saids 3 and up
