Hi everyone!
I am surprising DD with a BBB appointment during our next trip.
She will be 4.5 years old when we are there. So I have a few questions for those that are experienced.

Should I buy the costume and shoes and surprise DD with that before the appointment? Or should I let her pick it out when we are there? What do you think is better? If I should buy it before, can someone PM Mrs. B's info?

DD doesn't really have a 'favorite' princess. She pretty much loves them all. haha! If I surprise her, I think I would pick either Cinderella or Tinkerbell... I think... hehe.

I'll tell you what I did, and my DD loved it.
I had read in a TR before going about an Aunt that had given her neice Princess mail on the trip. Every morning the little girl woke up to a new letter from a Princess.
So I took it a step further.
On the day we left, I had a present with a letter from Nemo sitting on our counter. The letter said to open the gift at the airport. (it was a Nemo game for her leapster) She was mazed and wondered how Nemo got to our house.
the next day was out BBB day. So after she went to sleep I laid out a dress and shoes I had found at the Disney store and just loved. (it's the red Belle dress in my signature) I had a note made up with it that said it was for BBB and it was from her Fairy Godmother. Again she was extremely excited about it. And to this day believes that is who gave it to her. I did this everymorning with other gifts. Most of the others were small, like a package of princess underwear, and pens and dollar store type stuff, and each day I had a note with it from a different character or set of characters.
DD knew she was going to BBB before the trip, but we never really discussed which dress. I just borught abunch of dresses ,with her kind of thinking we would decide that day.

If we have a 8:30 at MK think we will be out around 9:00-9:15?..do you think they schedue someone closer to 8 and we will have to wait? OR could it be the first appointment for that stylist? I thought the first times werent until shortly after 8:00

First appt of the day is 8:05. We always do that time to avoid waiting for someone ahead of us to finish. And if they were 15 to 20 minutes late getting seated, it only backs you up more.

I called an booked the 8:05 appt for the castle. I figured that would get us in and out fastest, plus an early entry into the park to see Cinderella's Castle before all the people file in. Our appt is on my DD's birthday so I want her to get Princess treatment all day long. She is going to love it.

Plus I told my daughter it was a special morning just for us, so she is very excited.

That was a smart move. Be sure to get her photo in front of the castle before going in, then come back out when she's done. There is also a photo studio in a shop right behind the castle now. You can have those photos added to your photopass. It will be a magical day!

Okay I have a question now, for those children who have shorter hair, how does it turn out, my oldest is not going to be a problem by my 3 year old has a shoulder lengeth angle cut and am worried that they will not be able to do anything with it, should we try to grow it out a bit before our trip in Sept or go ahead and cut it again as she really needs a hair cut now but have been waiting to see if I need it longer. Sorry for the rambling but just had that thought.

Lily's hair is a chin length bob and it worked out just fine for her. Trust me...the hair spray they use will hold it in place!

Yes you can tip, it's totally up to you. The traditional hair salon tipping is 15-20% (like a restaurant) of the service. So if you get the big package, not all of that has to be tipped on, just the service portion, not any accessories

There is a new Sleeping beauty dress aswell as a Belle one, IMO they are disgusting. Mrs B had them listed a few weeks back and I was talking to her via email and she said she didnt have any of the old Sleeping beauty dresses left.
