The best way to go from downtown disney to Epcot is to take the bus to the beach club from there you are literally w/ in walking distance to the back entrance to epcot (International Gateway). You will be right by the bridge between the united kingdom and france and directly across the lagoon from Norway.

chief19spixi - Where did you get the princess shoes your DDs were wearing? They look sturdy and somewhat comfortable. I'm going to get shoes to match whichever dress DD will wear but plan to bring change of clothes /and crocs for rest of day at MK.

when we did the big package last year the shoes came with it!

Calista, a brunette, wants to be Belle. I would love any suggestions on dress and accessories, especially shoes. Are they really practical footwear? The picture posted by chief19spixi shows some really adorable shoes? Are they wearable through the park. Are there any other accessories she should avoid?


The shoes were really nice and my girls had no problem with walking almost all of downtown disney and then to the park for about 6 hours!
They are just like the ballet flats that you would get from walmart or payless when it comes to comfort... just with a bit more glitz and glam!!

I wanted to thank everyone for the nice comments about my girls!!

Thanks pl'smama for the advice!

I was not aware that there was no bus from DTD to Epcot. We are staying at OKW, so I guess I could take the shuttle boat over to SSR or OKW then take the Epcot bus from there. Either way, I will probably take your advice and try to get to BBB a little earlier than 10:30, or change the lunch ADR to a 1/2 hr. later. How was the lunch at Akershus (separate thread, I know)? I've read the threads about it and so far it seems very positive! What was your opinion?

Hi everyone!

Do you know if Disney has a BBB photo album?
I have more pics than I know what to do with of my little darlin and I was thinking if they had a scrapbook or photo album with a themed BBB to it ... well you get the idea. Anyone been recently and seen or bought one? If so where so I will know where to go in June to grab one

My pleasure Kim! I wish we had known about the busses not running to the parks from DTD, but oh well. We did make it on time. Our appt at BBB was the first one at 9:05 and I think lunch was 1:10pm. We did have to wait about 15 minutes once we got to Akershus, but I hate to rush things.

I enjoyed the lunch quite a bit. I am a picky eater, as is my DD, but we were all happy with the food. DD had the chicked and potatoes from the kid's menu and it was good. I ate some of the chicken and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered a dish that was kind of like a Norweigian meatloaf, with mashed potatoes. It was amazing. And I am hard to please! The dessert comes like a little buffett. A sample of three or four. I forget what it is called, but the yellow stuff was sooooooo good! I asked for more and they brought it with no problem.

The princess interaction was good. We got a great photo of my DD and her cousins with Belle. We were very surprised that Cinderella was one of the other four princesses there that day. We also had Ariel, but she was a bit off. She kept quizzing the girls on their birthdays because they were wearing BBB birthday sashes. The whole trip was a birthday celebration even though the three girls birthdays are between the end of Dec and mid Feb. Ariel made my oldest neice feel bad about wearing her b-day sash since that day was not her b-day. We kind of rushed Ariel off after that since we did not need her being a downer.

THe other princesses were great and we had Pocohontas and Jasmine to. They were great and we got lots of photos. Your DD will love it and you will love watching her!!

Have a wonderful time!

I read that you had Persistant Hodgkin's. I've never heard of that. I had Hodgkin's when I was 20. I am now 43 and doing great! Congratulations on your remission.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

ETA~ its called persistant b/c after the first round of treatment it didn't go away and it spread creating a new strand. fortunately the higher dose and stem cell transplant went well b/c they weren't really sure how well it would the first go round.

I haven't seen a BBB photo album but I did pick up a photo album that holds 100+/- photos it is sparkly w/ pink glitter all over and has a princess crown on the band that holds it together I got it at the contemporary and that is the only place I saw it of all the places I looked I will post a picture of it in a little bit. It was 18 or 18.50.

Thanks! I would love to see it! I have tons of special BBB photos and I want to make a book for my DD with the pics.

I was just wondering if the majority of girls who bring their own dresses from home, use the change rooms at the BBB or they arrive already wearing their princess outfits? I plan on bringing ours from home, but am not sure whether or not to dress them at the hotel or wait until we arrive. Thanks for any info.

We had planned on letting my granddaughter change there and the dressing rooms were full so they held a sheet around her while she changed. She was only 3 so it wasn't a real big deal, but this year, she will dress at the hotel so we can avoid this happening again.

 

[ElmerTinaRh]

here are a couple of my DD11 after her visit ot BBB.

We got pictures with her whole family save for Jaq. Suzy and perla happened to be passing by while we were doing her shots inside the Emporiam tasked if they could join us and were told yes! Woohoo!!

Can you tell me how much you paid for the photo shoot. I would love to do this for my granddaugter. Did you have to make reservations?

 

[MrsSilvaStrat]

What about 25 year old princesses??? lol

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

25yr old princesses are welcome to do it as well. I actually had an appointment w/ my dd for last october but we postponed the trip and a couple of weeks ago was kind of spur of the moment so I didn't do it this time but I will be the next trip.

ElmerTinaRh~ you don't have to pay for the photoshoot if you want pics in advance you can purchase the photos while there the package that comes w/ the Castle package is like 25.00 +/- but if you plan on doing the photopass they will put the pics on there and you don't have to buy them then.

I preordered the photopass for 99.99 and the day I left. I haven't finished adding boarders to my photos yet but I started out w/ 113 pics and now I am up to 175.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

I also wanted to post that I am downloading my photos to photobucket right now so my photos should be up by 10pm.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

This is what I have available as of right now for costumes and accessories. My photos aren't the best.

Costumes~

Accessories~

The tutu in this photo is muscial.

I am not really sure what happened to the photos of the Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty dress. I do have the sleeping beauty so I will snap a pic of it and post it but I don't have the cinderella dress.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

I didn't even notice until just now that the ariel and jasmine costume are not facing the right way. If it helps any I have the same ariel and jasmine we purchased them in Dec03 and Sept04

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

My dd didn't wear her costume to BBB out appt was for 9.50 and we were having dinner at 1900 for 4.30 so we wanted to stay as decent as possible. I do apologize for my photos being so big but I am not photo savvy so I don't know how to edit them. The only pics that I don't have to post are w/ princess minnie and daisy they are on my photo pass. Also I am retarded and didn't go back to BBB so that I could take dd's pick in the chair at BBB in her costume. Please excuse the ugly black nike flip flops that don't match dd's dress the forgot her matching shoes at the hotel and I couldn't bring myself to buy another pair of those glass slipper shoes.

Warning You Are About to See Photos of a DRAMA QUEEN!!!!!
