Anyone go to McDonald's lately?

I just got back and I got a Sleeping Beauty tiara in my happy meal!
It wasn't too bad either!

Just look into it!

For those of you with african american daughters is there a particular stylest you like better than others? We met our adoptive daughter on Saturday who is AA and will be taking her with us to Disney of course this Dec. She will be 5 the week before we go to Disney so my oldest daughter and I have talked about doing a princess day with just the girls for her bday. Wondering if all the stylest seem to have a good grip on AA hair or just a few? Also did you take your girls braids down or what before you went?

My Girls just got the Sleeping Beauty and Jasmine Tiaras.
And you're right....they're not too shabby.

I was contemplating the Jasmine crown as the girls will be wearing the costume to the Akershus breakfast.

 

[drcbpearce]

Sounds like I know where lunch will be tomorrow! When my dd went a few days ago w/gma, she got a light up Ariel wand that was the usual HM junk, so the tiaras sound terrif!

 

[DisDancerina]

Congrats Ms! She's probably adorable, huh?

I wish you luck Gotta add her in your signature soon!
I'm trying to get my parents to adopt a girl; what would it be like to have a little sister? I'd love it. We even have an extra room! Can you adopt girls from Europe?

I haven't seen the Jasmine Tiara.

We got the sleeping beauty crown a couple of days ago and it is a much nicer quality than I thought it would be.

I know it has probably been answered but:

My dd2 won't be old enough to get her hair done at BBB but her sister and cousin are getting theirs done. Is there anything they do at BBB for little girls, even just sprinkling pixie dust would be better than nothing?

We had her hair cut last year at the Barber shop on Main street for her first cut, it was such a cute experience. I would like something for her this year too.

Also, my dd5 wants an Ariel dress but I am not crazy about the look of the mermaid ones. Does anyone know where to find more of a dress? She fits into size 6x so the 3-6 size won't work.

They will sprinkle her hair w/ pixiedust if you ask. As for the dresses have you seen the wedding ariel dress its really cute you may want to do a search on ebay to see what available their or if you like anything. Another option you may want to look in to if you have time is have something custom made.

I forgot one more question.

I am trying to get ADRs for CRT around lunch time and take the girls to BBB in the MK for the basic package first. What time or how much time should I allow for BBB?

I would try for at least an hour and a half before your adr since you will have two princesses. If they are not scheduled for the same time make sure they are no later than that amount of time to have flex room for if they are behind any.

I've got a few questions too.
1.) I just booked BBB for 8:00am at the MK. We're staying at the WL. What time should I leave to get there?
2.) Do I take the boat or the bus?
3.) Is my husband and son allowed in the park with us(they have tickets, but it's before the park opens) to see her get dressed up?
4.) If they wanted to, could they make it to see the Opening Ceremony of MK?
5.) Would we(my daughter and I) be able to make it to see the opening ceremony if we have the big package?
6.) Where is the place we get the photos done?
7.) Did I ask enough questions?

Thank you!!!

1) I would say no later than 7.15
2) If you have a stroller take the boat so you don't have to worry about the fold and unfold bus routine
3) I would most likely but I have never been that early so I am not 100% on that others here have asked so hopefully someone can help.
4) If they don't wait for your dd to be finished most likely.
5) probably not but I guess its possible
6) it is located in the front at Exposition Hall
7) NO

HTH!

Are there any differences to having this done at MK instead of DTD?

The only difference besides decor that I know of is that the hannah montana package is only available at DtD other than that none.

I went to page 136 like a previous poster suggested but I could not find pictures. Please if anyone has done the Hannah Package at DTD let me know. My DD8 wants to do it but she hates to wear her Hannah wig at home and think it would not be a good idea but she is insistant. Last year she did the multi-colored pop princess look. She was adorable.

If she thinks she is really interested in doing the Hannah Montanna package, you may want to try it out first at Libby Lou (if you have one near you). They can do a Hannah package for as little as $27 up to their most expensive package of $40. The $40 package included a pink sparkly tank, a silver sparkly scarf, a microphone, a backdrop poster, hair and makeup, and I think some other things I'm forgetting. They also have a High School musical package with a blonde wig (charmaine?) as well for the same prices so you could try that for something different. Anyway, my point here is that you can do the cheap package to see if she will actually wear the wig all day if made up. That way if she doesn't you won't waste the $90 or whatever they are charging at the BBB. If she does love it then you know she'll enjoy it at BBB. Hope that helps!!

If she won't wear the wig, then I wouldn't even bother. Thats the main thing of the package.

I just made ressies for DTD boutique on May 9! I'm so excited. My girls had so much fun last time that they requested we do it again before the Pirate & Princess Party.

Here are some pics of our experience in the castle. The girls both chose to be Divas. My oldest got black hair even though hers is blonde because she wanted to look like Jasmine. I have a ton more inside the castle but I thought the dresses would be the most fun to see.








The photopass photographers were wonderful and we got a bunch of pics. This was especially helpful since I had to divide my time between the two girls. We also did the photo shoot thing at exposition hall but if you don't have time for that, try and grab a Photopass photographer in front of the castle. The photo shoot photographer did pics of each girl individually and they a few of them together.



For those of you who are trying to work out the timing issue with a party night. We had ressies at the castle for 2:20 and 2:30. We left our resort (old Key West) at 1, had a few photopass pics taken out front and by the castle, strolled down main street and made it to the boutique in plenty of time. After the experience we were able to go back to exposition hall and have the photo shoot and meet my husband at Crystal Palace for our 4pm resservations. We didn't feel rushed at all and the timing was perfect. The girls had such a blast and I wanted to do it, too.

I would agree, why not just buy her a Hannah Montana tee to wear that day and have them do the diva package or something? Otherwise, aren't you just paying for a t-shirt and makeup if the wig is the hairstyle?

 

[disneyfool_1202]

Do they have the photopass photographers at the DTD location as well, or are they just at the MK? Also, I've seen everyone's "formal" princess pictures taken (like on the lounge chair) - where are those done? My last trip I could swear they were done at the scrapbook store, but that was 3 years ago so things may have changed.

Also, I booked the Crown package and will most likely do the Fairytale Princess style. Does it come with the tiara? I've seen the adorable ones pictured with the sparkling Micky in the back of the bun. Can I purchase that there??

They do have photopass photographers at the DtD location, the "formal" photos are take right past Ghiradelli's they will give you map at BBB if you ask for one. The fairytale princess hairstyle does come w/ the tiara as well as the mickey head barrette. IF you would like to purchase extras you can do so as well and not just at BBB but make sure they are available before you go to BBB. I wanted to buy a couple extra mickey head barrettes during my last trip and I wasn't able to b/c they were out of stock at the regular gift shops and when I went to see about buying one from DtD BBB they told me they couldn't sell me any.

 

[2tinkerbells]

Okay, I booked my DD5 and DN5 for BBB at 11:10am and we have ADR for CRT at 12:25. The CM on the phone said we should have plenty of time. I hope he is right. I tried to get my DD2 a ressie but he wouldn't do it. I even told him she would almost be 3 and he said no. I have decided to just do her hair myself and have pixie dust sprinkled over her.

Does anyone know about the shoes at disney? Are they flats or do they have heels? My daughters would like them but I don't want to waste money if they only keep them on for a few minutes.

So I have been looking through random pages as there are so many and I can't seem to find anything about the studio part at MK. So you get your do and then you walk to the studio? If you get the crown package do you still get to go to the studios for pictures? Also do you have to buy a package or can the pictures from the studio go right on to your photopass? Just seems like you are almost cheating to get them on a photopass. It is all so new to me and I am starting to think my 6 year old would LOVE this. Thanks

She is as is her younger brother. We also have a foster daughter we brought home from the hospitol that we are praying to adopt she is biracial. It will be about a year before I can add the kiddos to the siggy though because that is how long the journey will take and the baby if we get to keep her will be longer probably closer to two. We are just thrilled we are going ot get to take them to Disney. Good luck with talking them into adoption. It is to say the least a big step.

My 6 year old daughter loved, loved, loved this experience. We had to walk up to the front of MK to have our pictures taken at Exposition Hall. They put all our photo on our photopass card.

Yes I did this with DD this past January. And believe me do not feel guilty about getting a smaller package then getting pics done and putting on photopass. You will spend enough money in Mouseland. Especially when you purchase the Photopass CD with all of your pics on one disk. Best thing Disney ever came up with......(and Yes I got to tell the imagineer who worked on the project just that -had lunch with him for my Imagineer lunch program).

DD had a 10:30AM appointment with the middle package. After she was finished we walked around the backside of the castle down the path toward Tomorrowland near the bridge was a Photopass person. We stopped and got some great shots of her all dolled up with the Castle in the background. We continued to our destination of Exhibition Hall down Main street and could not keep up with how many times she was stopped and said Hello Princess too. She was eating it up. Next got to the hall. Waited for another family to be done at the studio and then had a great photograhpher take about over 20 different shots..... all on photopass. Now I have them forever and can print whatever I want. After we were done there it was back to the Castle for her lunch with Cinderella at 1PM. Could not have timed it better myself.

Also as a recommendation before completing a Photopass CD order, remember to add any graphics you want to the pics. With my BBB photos I added BBB graphics to some of them to mark/date the occaision for DD's memory books.

 

[Wilsonfamily4]

Thanks guys for your answers. I am so wanting to do this. So I am going over our schedule to see where I can fit this in. I think I will get my DS4 hair done too.

 

[DisDancerina]

Can you wear a dress for pictures if you're over the age of 10? Because I'm 13, I even like I'm ten, and I have the perfect dress to wear!
