Our ADR's were at 1:55pm, so we were in the princess outfit all morning. (No where to keep it in good shape for pictures at the meal before then). My dd4 was MISERABLE. She had a horrible rash from the dress and sweating in it when we got her back to the room. If you can help it, I would wait until the last possible minute to dress them and then strip them as soon as you can afterwards.
