Four Brits hit the world the TR! ***Finished***

Wow - the girls look beautiful! Give them a hug for me! Can't wait to read more!!

Love the BBB pics. Do they have different levels. I've always seen everyone picking out a dress first. Can you just do the hair? I would have loved doing this with DD but don't think she would have handled all the hair pulling well. She really wanted to do Libby Lu when she learned to use the potty (she was 3) but then didn't want them to do anything to her. They barely got her hair done and a little make up. It turned out that she just wanted to buy as much make up as possible to take home. I'm hoping we can make it back to Disney when she's seven or eight and do BBB then have dinner at 1900 Park Fare. I was afraid she might be too old to really appreciate it by then but seeing how much joy your daughters have gives me hope.

I just found your TR tonight, and I've loved it! Read the whole thing in one sitting (minus the chatting posts in between). You have such cute girls and I love hearing about all your adventures. After seeing the BBB pictures, I'm really wishing that I had booked this for DD6 for our trip week after next (so close!), but I guess I can't squeeze in everything. Maybe next year!

This is a wonderful report--I can't wait to read more!

Cute pix Jo !! Today my computor is behaving a little better and not losing threads on me !!

 

[blue_river]

You have lovely daughters

The pics are precious

 

[DisneyJo]

All the girls' pictures are gorgeous!Especially the first one in the post. I am glad Jess wasn't too old for BBB,I want my girls to do it next time.

Awesome that you kept it a secret!

Thanks Amy, even big girls go to BBB I'm talking our age

The pics and the girls look great. Do you think a 12 and 10 year old would like it?
Maybe I should arrange it for the 2 girls I am taking down.

Great update.

Oh definately, my two aren't real girly girls but they really loved it and they are 9 and 11

I am living the BBB vicariously through you, as my little tomboy would absolutely never put up with it!

The pictures are so cool....guess you didn't post the ones showing the sneakers, huh? That's pretty nifty that you could add it to the photopass card!

Did I read it right? Now you're going to eat with Cinderella? Your kids must have been in heaven. This vacation is just filled with magic from top to bottom!!

Thanks so much for taking us along.

Lisa you could always go to BBB yourself I'll try and find one with sneakers on just for you and yep we're off to see Cinderella!!!!

You kept two things secret? The look on Jess's face in the before picture is oozing with excitement. Just look at her eyes...they are so bright and happy.

My boys don't know about our upcoming trip. I am doing all I can to count down quietly.

I'm glad it was a happy birthday for Ellie. And I love that picture of her with her hair in her Mickey ears.

For someone who's useless at secrets I did so well, you're doing great too shhhhh

Precious pics, Jo! Your DD's are beautiful girls!
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you they did come out well didn't they

No kidding, she bought that???



They're just being good little divas! I am a tomboy at heart, but BOY do I love getting the salon treatment every once in a while!



Me, too!

Oh, Jo, what a nice morning so far. Good Mum!!!

I know CE I can't believe Jess thought I didn't know about it And yes I was a good Mum that day

 

[DisneyJo]

Jess and Ellie look AMAZING! How fun! Maybe I should surprise Brenna with a BBB appt... hmmmm... You are an awesome mom, you know that?

Can't wait to read more!!!
-Michelle

Thanks Michelle, I think Jess sent Brenna a couple of her BBB photos, I'm sure she'd love it, she'd look so beautiful

I love the pics and as others have stated, love the one of them cheek to cheek.

I already have this as a maybe on my plan for next August, looks like it is becoming a must do...

Kelly (my goddaughter) I'm sure would thank you if she knew

Book it Mo she'd love it!

Love the picture!!

I love the pictures from BBB, they are adorable! You must have been racking up the good mommy points that day!

Ellie for some reason tossed her head back and ended up with her hair like that, I just had to take a photo

Well, that's what I get for not multi-quoting like I should have. I love that picture of Ellie with the Mickey head thingie on. She totally looks "hot"!

HOT No no no no my baby can't look hot

Wow - the girls look beautiful! Give them a hug for me! Can't wait to read more!!

I will LL thanks

They do have different packages the basic one which my 2 did is hair and makeup then the next one which I think is only an extra $5 is nails too (mine bite their nails so thought it wasn't worth it!) then the mega expensive one which also includes dress and photos but thats about $120!!!! To be honest I think they appreciate it more the older they are!

Last year-I booked an appt for my 10 yo (who was saving her pennies to get to do it, just in case!), then when we got there, my teen wanted to do it too (cause it looked SO cool!) so they worked her in. The stylist said that high school groups book it out all the time and have a blast.

And I agree Jo, the older ones seemed to appreciate it more cause it was their idea, not moms. Some of the little girls (3-5) looked kinda sceered.

 

[DisneyJo]

I've just remembered something from the girls BBB appointment, yes I know bad DISer, useless TR note taker

OK so my 2 are sitting there all excited having their hair done, grimacing a little whilst it's all being pulled around when this girl roughly about 10 years old sits next to Ellie, we thought it weird when she started reading her book whilst having stuff done After only a couple of minutes the poor little thing just bursts into tears, her Mum comes over (her little sister is also being done) and can't consol her and eventually decides she doesn't want anything done. About 5 minutes later she comes back looking like a cowboy apparently she was really sensitive to the smells and was wearing a napkin over her face to mask the hairspray smells. It did look funny but at least she was now able to be turned into a princess : But she still continued reading her book


And just for Lisa, a sneaker clad Princess

 

[cherbear]

oh I think it's CUTE!! Did you get one blown up?

 

[Parla]

My niece made me think that girls outgrow Princesses really early. She's 8 and my sister just gave me a pair of size 6 Disney Princess pajamas that still had the tags on because my niece wouldn't wear them. Then again, maybe she never liked Princesses. She's more of a Bratz girl which aren't allowed in our house.

 

[Goofyluver]

That would be me...with the sneakers!

Loooooooove the BBB photos. Pink hell was backlogged over an hour when we were there.

 

[ClaraBug]

The BBB pictures are beautiful!!!

 

[dismom9761]

I think the sneaker clad princess is adorable!

That is strange that the little girl was reading.Maybe they should have spent the money on a new book?

 

[DisneyJo]

I haven't yet, I must have one put in a frame

Really? Ellie loves her Bratz too but also the princesses, over here we don't have as much character clothing and stuff as in the US, maybe she just had overkill

Good job we went early!

Thanks

Thanks Amy and yes I'm sure she'd have prefered $40 worth of books

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Love the picture of Ellie in her sneakers.

 

[princessjv]

the girls are gorgeous! What an absolute fun time. Were they totally shocked with the surprise?

How did the extensions work? Do they clip out?

I am amazed that you can add that to your photopass...what a great tip!

 

[praisehisname]

I did it! I'm all caught up! There's way too much to quote, but let me just say you're doing a terrific job of reporting. It sounds like you've had a wonderful time so far, and all the pictures are great!

[scottny]

Love the pic with the sneakers. Maybe DM can photoshop a pair of shoes on her.

at Disney does a lot of girls bring shoes i would think sneakers. If I get it done with the 2 girls I am bringing it will be sneakers and regular clothes.

Oh, I see how it is ... offer my services without even consulting me first!
