Thank you for your offer. We have two foster sons, 4 & 6 and this will be our first time at WDW. We'll only be there for 1 day and night. What would you recommend we go see. I love the haircut idea, can you explain why it is special there and the cost?
I would definately recommend both Parades. DS
loved Spectromagic!! The Dream Come True Parade was neat too, and a few characters stopped to pat him on the head. DS was to little, but I would definately take the boys on Barnstormer in Toontown. We saw alot of little kids just loving this ride. Also, DS loved the Buzz Lightyear ride. DH & I had fun on it too!
The haircuts were really fun. They charge $12 for kids and $15 for men (no womens). They do a regular haircut (whatever you want) and then they take colored hairgel (blue, green, red, yellow or purple) and either spike up the hair, or comb it through. Then they sprinkle "pixie dust" (sparkly mickey shaped confetti) over it. It's really fun! Hope you have a great trip!

Glad you had a great time. I'm going in Jan with DD(4 1/2), DS(turns 3), and DD(just shy of 1). I went last year with my DD but this will be my DS & baby's first trip.
Did you see any girls getting haircuts? I was thinking of getting baby's cut. She could use it now but I was thinking of waiting. I just put a pony tail on the top of head like Pebbles. I'm not sure I want to cut her hair but they could probably clean it up a bit. Maybe even DS would like it.
What did you think of 'Ohanas? Did baby find it too loud?
Yes, I saw a few girls that had gotten their hair done. They just trimmed up the edges. For older girls (not babies) they did pretty braids and used the colored gel and "pixie dust". For baby's first haircut they still charge the $12, but they give you a pair of mouse ears with "First Haircut" sewn on the back and a framable certificate w/baby Mickey & Minnie, baby's name, date and who cut it. They also save the hair in a packet for you. DS honestly didn't have enough hair to cut, but I really wanted to get it done there (where else can you get mouse ears & pixie dust?). They just cleaned it up a bit, spiked it w/blue gel & added the sprinkles. He looked like a little Hades from Herculese! It was so cute!
Ohana was
great !! The atmosphere was really neat and it really wasn't very loud. In fact he slept through most of dinner!
The food was
excellent ! All you can eat served family style. It's Ploynesian (sp?), but if your kids aren't very adventerious food wise, you can order hot dogs or toher kid-friendly things. If you go, be sure to make PS and request to be seated in the main dining room by the open kitchen. Everything is cooked over open flame and you can watch the chefs cooks. They also have games for the kids and a few strolling entertainers. Enjoy you trip and have fun!
