Do you see many older princesses? My DD is 10 years old and we plan on doing the castle package. We have never done this before and I figure that this is the last time that she is going to be able to do it. I don't want her to feel out of place. I know that many have their hair done, but do many older (older -she's only 10) princesses do the whole package. I have got her excited about it but I don't want her to feel different because she is older. We are not going to a park that day. We are going to DTD for her appt, hanging out at our resort (we are just checking in that day), and then doing HDDR for dinner.
I was just wondering about the castle package for the 9-10 yr old princesses?
Thanks for your input.

Atchley,
My oldest DD did BBB last year she was 9 (did the castle package and chose to be a pirate princess ), she had such a good time that this year she begged me to go to BBB again and she has asked to be dressed up again she said it was fun and she enjoyed walking around all dressed up Your DD will fit right in all different ages do BBB there were even girls older than my DD when we went

Thanks Stacy and PMart! I was just afraid DD might be embarrassed being a little older than the others. I'm glad to see others that are a little older going too. I think she wants to be Jasmine which is a little older looking costume, but she has also mentioned Cinderella. I will let her do whatever she wants. This is probably the only time we will do the entire package so whatever my little princess wants, she is going to get. (Maybe that has something to do with her spoiled princess attitude? )

Remember that technically anyone over 9 are not supposed to dress in the park. But if htey look younger, I'm sure noe one would say anything. I actually think it's a bit to young a cut off myself. But then again, I would love to dress up as a princess too! LOL!
Also the choices are smaller the bigger the girl. The sizes for bigger girls is only limited to a few princesses. I think Jasmione is one.

Guys just be aware that anyone over age 9 is not supposed to be in costume in the parks. You may not have a problem, but i would hate for your girls to be asked to change!

Hi! I'm not FGIT Angela but I was a FGIT so maybe I can help you out as well.

First of all they say unless it is a party day you can't dress up if you are over the age of 12..so a previous post saying 9 is incorrect, it is 12 so no worries.

There is nothing wrong with ur 10yr old DD getting a costume. On one party night we actually fitted a tiny mom in the Belle Holiday dress bc she felt left out (its all about the parents now I guess? haha). Anyways, I'm sure you know the dresses that we have and the largest we have is a size kids 14 (in every dress). I'm not sure size wise what your daughter looks like but some dresses are "stretch'ier" than others if that becomes an issue.

We have princesses that old get castle packages and then some that opt out after seeing all the younger princesses getting dressed up. It all depends on your own princess though. I would say the normal castle range would be from 3yrs-7yrs. Older princesses will either say yay or nay to it and you are right some will feel left out, esp. if they have younger siblings getting the whole treatment.

I hope this helps a little bit, Have a great trip!

And be prpared because she will get alot of attention while walking around dtd and at you dinner that night. Have a great time!!!!

The hsm cheer dress and the priate outfit goes to the size of xl (14). The pirate outfit is from pirates of the carribean and it is elizabeths swans pirate outfit. It has a hat, shirt, pants, shoe cover that looks like boots, and a belt to hold a sword. No sword though. And your DD will love the makeover she gets. That age group loves the makeup and nails as well as the process of getting dressed up. No worries mom she will love it and so will you!!

The dress is not going up just the package prices. The hsm dress is 50.00 just in case you wanted to know.

A question for any former or current Fairy God Mothers in Training. Have you Bootiqued any "older" princesses? And by older I mean over the age of say 40? I am going to be ... 50 this year and my December trip is my celebration. I was kind of thinking of going to the castle the night I go to MVMCP.

Any opinions?

We get plenty of older princesses as well. Many do it with other girlfriends or there daughters. The oldest DP done at DTD was 96 years old. She came with her daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter. Your NEVER to old to be a princess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When did they change this rule? I called and asked about a month ago and was told by a CM that no one over the age of 9 was allowed in the park in costume. She said that anyone with an adult park ticket would be asked to change if they were found in costume except after 4 on a party day.

Thank you so much for all of your info and advice! I am even MORE excited to go now more than ever!

It has been that way since I started in the BBB in Jan until the day I left which was May 15. They say 12 because 13 begins the "teenage" years and they figure that not many 13 yr olds would want a costume and if they did, some 13 yr olds are so grown up these days that would/might confuse younger children. We fit 9 yr olds all the time...more younger kids than 9 but if they have younger siblings they tend to want the same treatment.

The ADR systems are wacked if you ask me. My friend called to make her DD an appt for in Sept and was told only one parent was allowed in the room with her which is a total lie. We *try* and say that if there is more than 4 or 5 adults per one princess at MK we will talk to the family and see if they can switch off until the reveal. When she called last year her daughter was turning three at the end of their vacation and they were told she couldn't have it done and that BBB would check park tickets which is crazy bc we don't check park tickets and as long as the princesses is within a month or so of being 3 we will take them.

We're not quite sure what gets mixed and messed up between the BBB and the ADR system but they really need to start meshing together so we do not have angry guests

I'm sorry you were given false information but that's how it has been ever since I was at BBB and I know that is how it is today. You wouldn't believe how many moms we get that ask if we have adult costumes (which we don't) but they want to be apart of the magic too...but only on party nights!!

Thanks for your input.

Hi
I just thought I would tell you that my dd 9 (2 weeks from 10) did the whole package last time, and all of the FGIT made her feel just as special as all the other girls. The photograhper even praised her for knowing how to pose for the camera, and even thought she was older, a lot of the characters and cm's took time to stop and compliment her.

she plans on doing it again on our next visit and she will be 11, but she will prob go with the pirate or something for an older girl.

I am sure she will have a BLAST!

We have done plenty of moms at MK BBB. Some get upset at the fact that they had an appt scheduled and then cancelled it at last minute. I have done several moms as a FGIT. I actually did an older lady from Dis and it was very exciting to talk with her since she had been reading my CP TR for BBB.

I think the oldest grandma we had at MK BBB was 95 or so? I did not do her but I know she got the pink diva hair!

I tried to get my mom to do it when they were here in feb but she said no and would rather go to the GF spa lol.

It is more typical for moms to have their hair done on party nights but we will get a few that have special ocassions or mother/daughter day. We had one bridal party come in and have their hair done.

Have fun if you end up doing it!
