I am sorry if this was already asked, but did anyone every do the "prince" makeover also. My daughter who is 4 would love it, and my son who is 6 would probably like the "cool hairstyle" too. Thanks

How old is too old for this? My stepdaughter is 8 and fairly tall. The play dresses in the store are normally too small for her.

There is no age limit, only an age minimum. As long as your princess is over 3, it doesn't matter. Me, my mum and my sister all go along, and the youngest of over is well over 21! If you're referring to the costumes, then they go up to girls 14, so if she can fit in those, she can wear those and have the full castle package. But if not, then there's nothing stopping her having the coach package or something!

How likely is it that the FGIT will paint my daughter's fingernails instead of using the fake nails? She'll be 3.25 years and I really don't think she'd enjoy the fake ones, but would think getting special polish was pretty cool. Thank you!

Nail polish and press ons will both me offered as an option, so make sure you explain to the fgit that you do not want press ons for your princess before they are brought out. She may demand them once she sees them, as they are rather sparkly. It's happened many times before.

I love this thread - I can't wait to have a little princess to bring to her princess transformation in the castle!

Prince makeover? Are you talking about The Cool Dude?

I was just at the DTD location last Weds and there was no mention of press on nails at all...both of my daughters got their nails painted for the first time ever and loved it!

that would be for 2 reasons. #1, depending on the ages of your DDs sometimes the press-ons are not offered. For example, if they were 5 or 6, I would ask the parent(s) and almost 100% of the time they would say polish but for 4 or 3 year olds..unless they had an older sibling with the choice, I would not offer the press-ons. #2 is that perhaps they are phasing them out because they really are like stickers and fall off. I've had princesses at the register before w/nails falling off and they requested to have painted nails so I have painted many princess hands in the lobby of MK BBB bc the press ons will not stay on. I know of some moms that know ahead time and bring nail glue and glue them on when they leave but I know for most parents they would like the polish and you also get 2 bottles to take with you which is nice!

I'm glad your DDs had a great time!

press ons are actually supposed to be offered to each princess, but sometimes fgits make the decision not to based on the age of the princess or for whatever reason. this can create a sticky situation, and i've seen many a parent become slightly upset and say things like, "why wasn't my daughter offered the press ons?" then the fgit has to hastily come up with an excuse as to why they didn't offer them...age...finger nail size....etc. even if the fgit just figured the princess was too young for press ons, i've seen this kind of thing happen. so, to avoid such situations, we are supposed to offer the nails every time or at the very least, discuss the press on option with the princess's guardians first. "supposed to" being the key term here. this would explain why some of your princesses were given the press on option, and some were not.

My point is, go in expecting that press ons will be offered, and discuss it with your fgit immediately if it is going to be a problem.

Does any one have a picture of the new dresses I seen just a few what does cinderella's look like? are they all getting changed?

My DD is getting the complete package and I want to know what's avalible.

 

[PMart]

I want to see photos of the new dresses too!

I have skimmed this thread trying to educate myself. I am taking my 8yo goddaughter on her first Disney trip the last week in August and I have made the BBB appointment (in the Castle). My concern is that when she sees the dresses she is going to want the full package and I would give her the World, but in the August heat I can't imagine wearing polyester. Have any of you experienced the August heat with your daughters wearing one of the dresses?

We did the castle and the DTD locations on our last trip, and we didn't really see the dresses (except for outside the BBB in the stores). It was pretty busy in both locations, and with so much going on, it's pretty easy to avoid the dresses. With that said, you do see many girls wearing dresses, so that may be hard to avoid. I would suggest maybe looking for a light dress that she could wear and bring it from home. Much cheaper that way. Maybe a Tink dress like my dd is wearing in the picture below, or just one that doesn't have a lot of "poof" to it. Check out the Disney Store (or disneyshopping.com), or even Target. A lot of times the less expensive dresses are a lighter material and would be much cooler in the summer. Good luck!!

KMart has a wonderful Cinderella dress with glittery carriages at the bottom, it's a tea length dress and my DD wore it last year and had so many compliments. Because of it's length and material she was comfortable in it- once she wore it to the Princess Dinner in Norway with her regular clothing underneath and she still didn't want to take it off once dinner was over. This was in also in the last week of August and it was pretty humid. I am currently trying to find the same dress on eBay, and we are taking the Aurora dress we bought at the park last year. BTW she wore that dress once and didn't complain about being hot in it either.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that dress at Target! Otherwise Walmart. At least it sounds like the one I saw.

Do you mean "princess"??

 

[CharacterFan]

Do the photopass take pictures of all the princess transformations or just the castle package? My family buys the cd, and I'd love to have the pictures, but I'm sure my dad doesn't want to stand back by the chairs taking pictures of me every 5 sec.

Thanks

All makeovers get pictures taken.

No I do not mean the princess hair, I thought that they might do something fun for boys too. Once again just asking a question, I do not know if they do something fun for boys.
