Awww, how cute is she??!!! Truly adorable!

We are going in January and my DD4 is SO excited about the BBB. She got some Disney Dollars for her birthday and she said that she is going to save them so she can dress up like Aurora. I think we'll just be doing the coach package. She already has an Ariel dress and I am sure we will be able to get a decent deal on an Aurora dress around Halloween and/or Christmas. I don't know which location I should book. The MK seems like a no-brainer, but since we're staying at OKW, the DTD location might be a better option. With the MK location opening up, do you think the DTD location might be less crowded? I am planning an early afternoon appointment at the DTD location so that it will coincide with naptime for DH and DD2. I figure that we'll do the BBB and then head back to OKW to pick up the sleepers and head out to dinner at one of the princess meals (probably 1900 or Akershus).
The other option I am considering is a morning appointment at the MK location so DH and DD2 can tour the MK while DD4 gets her 'do done and then we could do the princess lunch at 1900 Park Fare before nap time.
I have about 3 weeks to decide....oh, that leads me to another question....my 180 day mark falls on a Sunday. Can I call on a Sunday or do I wait until Monday? TIA!!

Had to share pics of our Princess Lauren. She is 3 1/2. We bought the dress here at our local Target and brought it with us. She had the TIME OF HER LIFE at this appointment, so glad we did it, she wore the tiarra the rest of the week too:
Here she is getting ready in the chair:

Getting her nails done:

Makeup time:

They have them hold this up:

Then they spin them around with their eyes closed for the BIG REVEAL:

Here is our very happy Princess:

All this for 45 dollars, worth every penny. We then took her to the photo studio for the free photo setting, I ended up getting a 5x7 with our voucher for a free 5x7 we got with our AAA package, very cool, they took the cutest pictures.
Here is all they get to take with them:

There are also really two crowns, the one you can see in the front and another one that is a clip in the back, it's very sturdy, silver with pretty jewels in it, we have that now too. I added up the value of all they gave her (because they sell it right there in the Disney Store) and for the sash, nailpolish, crowns and makeup it would have been 33.00, so why not spend the extra 12 for the package!!! We are so glad we did this.

I just wanted to make sure I understand this,
after the BBB we can go and have the photo shoot done and can by packages of pictures

Instead of buying a package, can we just have all the pictures they take onto the CD from photopass?

Yes, you can get the photo shoot done and they have the Photopass people there so you just give them your photopass card and the pics go onto the CD!

Yes you can book on sunday, but keep in mind that they don't have a princess lunch at 1900 they only have princess lunches at Akershus and CRT. You may want to wait to see what ressies you can get before you decide on your BBB location. You can book BBB at the same time you book your ressies w/ the same person and that way you will have everything done at the same time. Also consider the fact that the MK BBB start ressies at 8am which is before park opening except in MEMH days.

Question-We have booked the coach package. However, my DD and niece have decided they want to choose dresses when we get there. (I have looked for the dresses they want, but can't find anything.) Since we have the coach and not the castle package will the girls be able to choose dresses and accessories and change there? Thanks!

Hey all, listen I found some really cute sparkly shoes this morning at JC Penny's. They have good soles so should be comfortable for walking in. (on sale. . big time!) My DDs will wear them after we do BBB on the 22! Here's the girls trying on their dresses and a picture of their new shoes! I made an invite based on a design from Patnl34 that I later signed from Cinderella and Aurora and picked up disney dollars today to put inside so the whole thing will be a surprise!

I can't wait!!!!

I booked the $45 package. next time we will skip the nails. I will paint her nails first! It was not worth it. We bought everything in the World of Disney first. We used our AAA card and got 10% off. She picked the Belle dress and shoes. We bought a rose from the craft store. DD did not want the gloves because they were the wrong color. I did not buy the crown because she got one with her hair.

A word of caution- the sequence shoes should not be worn in the park for a long time. The whole fronts of her shoes were ruined. They are better for indoors. They are $28 so they are little expensive for dress up shoes. I mentioned this in passing to a cast member and they exchanged them for me. It was really nice.

I budgeted enough for the castle package but opted out. I did not want to get the photos because they would have been bent. All the extras really add up. By buying my package this way I had enough money left to buy the Ariel costume. I thought my DD would enjoy that more and she does.

Here is a photo of the display at The Grand Floridian.

By the way- You should look into the Wonderland Tea Party. It is $30 and worth $100. It is one of my DD's favorite activities.

My DD has reservations for the BBB in the Castle on 10/17 before we go and have lunch at CRT. She's been saying she's wanted to dress up as Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) but all of a sudden today she says she want to buy the Ariel dress. Do you have a picture of your DD in it so I can show my DD? I thought maybe she would like to see what it looks like. Of course, I do realize that she will probably change her mind at least 1000 times BEFORE we even get on the plane to go to WDW, but I'm just trying to keep up with her decisions!

Where do you get information about this? Every thing like that that I've seen is over $150 per kid, usually more. . . That sounds great, and I'd like to look into it!
Thanks!

It is on the Grand Adventures for kids. It is held at 1900 Park Fair at the GF. Sorry, no parents allowed. I wish I could have stayed and hide in the back. The Mad Hatter and Alice surprised all the kids. They had apple juice in tea cups, tea sandwiches, played games, sang songs, got autographs and left with a flower bouquet and a photograph!

Just wanting to be sure I understand. even if you don't choose the expensive package you can still use their backdrops etc. for taking your own pictures or have a photopass photog. take them? Travelling with triplets and twins, I want to give them all the "Ultimate Experience" yet cut cost wherever I can! Thanks!

I will take one. It is really cute. We got the mermaid version. It is a two piece but very modest. My DD is super skinny and tall. Sets are hard because they never fit right. My DD wore her Sleeping Beauty costume (Target) to 1900 Park Fair. She was so miserably hot I ended up buying her another outfit. (She had an accident in her other clothes.) Lucky girl ended up with the red and black Minnie Mouse dress. It was short sleeve, short in length and only five dollars more than the other outfit!

Here is the hot Sleeping Beauty outfit.

Here is the cool Minnie Mouse Dress.

Thanks for the mention about the AAA discount and WOD. We booked with AAA and have the card so that will come in handy. My sister and I had already decided the nails didn't sound like a good idea for our girls. DD keeps changing her mind on who she wants to dress up like. Two days ago is was Sleeping Beauty or Ariel. Today it is Belle (after she saw your DD's pictures .)

And thank you for the display pictures of the dresses. DD has been asking about them and, when I showed her she said,"WHOA!" in that little girl amazed whisper.

Honestly, the Belle dress is amazing. It is just as nice as the $90 dresses and after seeing the quality of the dress I did not complain about the cost at all. It is very well made. Night and day difference between the Target dresses!

What was your AAA experience like? We are looking into booking a trip for the spring? We stayed off site and my DH said never again! Do you recommend AAA? Also, do you have to pay upfront or do you do the depsoit? Any extra perks? Thanks!

Thanks. That really does look wonderful, but my DD3 wouldn't be able to do it, so I'll add it to the next time at the world list!
Thanks for the info!
