Thought I would share our experience with you all as before I went I was intrigued as to what it would really be like and if worth the money etc.
We had the Tiana package which included hair, makeup, tiara and one official photo and this cost us 62 (ouch!) BUT for a special occasion it was well worth the money and wouldn't hesitate to do it again (maybe for her 21st
).
You can only book in person and at the Disneyland Hotel Boutique (first floor) it's open 8am-8pm and here's the phone number (of the Boutique) if you want to check details before you go: 33 (0) 1 60 45 65 33. and this is the number for the main Disneyland hotel reception: 33 (0) 1 60 45 65 00.
We chose the time and date and booked two days in advance being Easter Monday and Hollies birthday but if not busy I think you could just pay and then have it done that day.
Unfortunately I did not get the new package prices as there were no leaflets but from memory I think they only do the complete package now (I could be wrong) ie hair, make up, dress, tiara, accessories (bag, gloves) and one official photo I believe the Tiana one is 135.
The makeover is done on the first floor to the left of the stairs and in the open area to a dead end (so nobody walking by). We were greeted by the very friendly photographer and the lady doing the hair etc they really made a fuss of Hollie with it being her birthday and spoke good English. She allowed me to take some photos whilst doing the makeover and I will share a few with you below. I thought she did a really good and professional job, Hollie was relaxed throughout and really enjoyed the pampering.
Once she was finished you then go through to an area to have your photos taken, the photographer spent a lot of time with Hollie and getting her to do various poses - she really loved this bit. Afterwards he invited me to use the space and take some of my own which I thought was good, although of course mine weren't nearly as good as his!.
The photos are ready in about 15 mins and available to view back in the hotel boutique. Our free one was 8"x12" and you could also buy more of different sizes. We bought 4 more of 8"x6" which came to 29 - there were so many to choose from.
- I did get Shareholders discount on top though and kicked myself for not asking for that at time of booking the actual package.
All in all I think the whole experience took about 30-40 mins and can honestly say it was a truely magical thing and something Hollie won't forget - and I certainly got through a few tissues!.
The quality of the official photos is a lot better in real life - (our pc has died with the scanner attached so have photographed the originals).
Had to put the last one in!
Hope this information will be of use to some of you.
