Park Day 1 - Magic Kingdom
Sunday, November 28th
Add on!
Way back in the summer
when I was putting together my wish lists for each park, I'd jotted something down for the Magic Kingdom. When it came time to share the plans here though, I second guessed it and decided against it.
Flash forward to earlier today when I was reading Becky's (ladybugmom) PTR and she mentioned that she had an appointment booked at the place I'd once considered.
What is it?
The Harmony Barber Shop on Main Street.
You might think I wanted to go there for George, Alex or Demetri, but in fact I wanted to take Ariana there. You see, she's never allowed anyone other than me to cut her hair. When she was younger, it took a very very long time for her to even allow me to come near her with scissors. She's now at the point where it doesn't bother her at all for me to trim her bangs or go for an all out style. I once gave her a layered cut of which I was immensely proud of.
Alas however, I am not a hair stylist by any stretch of the imagination and so my train of thought was if Ariana was going to allow anyone to cut her hair, it would be at Disney. George has often joked we should ask a hairdresser to dress up in a Snow White costume and see if that would work.
When it came time to put the plans in place however, it seemed to be something that might take up too much time and might not even allow to happen so I opted against it. But then I read how she'd booked an appointment and it got me thinking again.
When I'd first thought about it, they weren't taking reservations. As of July however, they are. I looked into it and decided to call and see if they had availability for the first MK day we're there, the day of the MVMCP. It would have to be after our Ohana breakfast so I asked for noon and on. They had a 2pm appointment available so I booked it.
(Examples from mouseforless and the Disboards respectively.) Fun and if Ariana happens to see another girl get it while she's waiting, I think she just might go ahead with it.
I explained when booking that Ariana might not go through with it, even getting seated in the chair and the CM having scissors in hand before she'd call it quits. There is a $10 charge to your credit card even if you don't go so I figured if Ariana doesn't agree to it, then Demetri can fill in and get some cool dude tips.
Cross your fingers she does it!

So much to comment on!
for having your memory chosen! And such a great memory to share too!!
YAY! for Mickey Mail!!!
I'm going to keep telling her she'll look like a princess to meet all the princesses. 
for Ariana at Harmony Barber shop! Perhaps she'll allow the hairdresser to style her if not cut her. Billy hates getting his hair cut, too. Fortunately we found a hairdresser at KidzCutz that has a lot of experience with ASD kids... even still, he squeezes my hand and chants "It's okay! It's okay! It's okay! until she's done. I told her she is not allowed to retire under any circumstances! 
) but I'm really hoping she OK's the cut too. 
Love all the pictures! It looks like it was such a fun time!
