Perfect Princess Day

[celina14]

Hi! I am currently planning our November 2016 trip during which my DD will be celebrating her 5th birthday. She loves princesses so on her birthday I'd like to have a perfect princess day all planned out for her. The rough plan is to get a BBB reservation in the castle as early as possible and do a late breakfast or early lunch at CRT. And then do dinner at BOG so that she can dine in both castles that day. I'm trying to think which fast passes I'd like to try and snag for that day to fit into her princess day. Her favorite is of course Frozen but with A&E being over in Epcot by that time unfortunately we won't get to do that on her bday so that will have to wait for another day. I'm thinking of trying to get Enchanted Tales with Belle and the Cinderella & Rapunzel M&G but trying to figure out the best use of a 3rd one. She loves Ariel too so I could definitely try booking the M&G with her or the Under the Sea ride but is that worth it or is standby for those usually doable? Is there a better use of the fastpass? We will have several other days at MK so I don't need to get all the big rides in on this day (ie 7DMT) as they can wait for another day. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You're going to have to wait and see, but I've seen reports that they might be taking FP out of Fairytale Hall when A/E leave.

Maybe try to see the afternoon parade? Lots of princesses there.

Ok, good to know! Thanks! It's not a huge deal if we can't do that since she'll see a bunch of princesses at CRT but I know Rapunzel is usually not there. The parade is a good suggestion, thanks!

If you do CRT for brft, you could also do QS lunch at BOG, and jump on the monorail and do dinner at 1900PF with Cinderella and the Prince and stepsisters. She can also meet Tiana at the gazebo behind the Christmas shop.

They have gotten rid of fps for parades and fireworks. I would personally swap your lunch and dinner. Do BOG for lunch, its great especially since you can preorder. And then dinner at CRT is also fantastic. The meal was very good, and I think a good value compared to lunch. But YMMV.
There are lots of princesses in MK. Merida, Tiana. Hopefully they won't get rid of the M&G and you can do that!

Thanks for the suggestions! Hopefully she can meet some of the other princesses too! I don't really want to do BOG for lunch because we did that on our last trip and I just wasn't a huge fan. The food wasn't great and the atmosphere was very hectic in my opinion so I wanted to try it as a sit down restaurant. And I refuse to do it as a breakfast at the prices they now charge unless we happen to get free dining or do the dining plan then I'd consider it for breakfast. Does anyone know if there's a thread where I can see the dresses that they offer at BBB, and also what are the "accessories" that are included when you do the top package? Or where can I get more info on BBB in general?

Wanted to add Anna and Elsa are in the afternoon parade! And I wouldn't bother with a FP for Little Mermaid ride, it's always been a walk in while I was there. Some other ideas: the Sleeping Beauty tea at Grand Floridian, spending some time in Gaston's tavern, and do they still do the thing where the first visitor to the princess clothing shop next to the castle gets to "wake up" Tinkerbell for the day?

Also could be cute to make her a special book for the day where she can keep all her princess signatures! At CRT you can meet Snow, Belle, Jasmine, Aurora, Ariel and Cinderella. And then around the park you can get Tink, stepsisters, Fairy Godmother, Merida, Tiana...Have fun!

Not sure about the wake up Tink thing but I'll definitely look into it. I love the idea of having a special Princess book! Thanks for the suggestions!

Unfortunately, I don't think they do the Tink wake-up anymore since she started meeting in the park. We did it on one of our first trips, but I heard they had stopped it when we first met Tink when she was still in Toontown in 2011. But I'm sure someone else will let you know if I am wrong! The main place for info. on BBB is on the Disneyworld site, but it does not give pics of dresses or specifics on accessories. Maybe someone who is going soon can take a pic of current dresses for you. I know there are you tube videos people make, not sure if any of those might show dresses. We were there in Dec. for DD's 2nd and final time (she's 12) but I did not think to take pics of dresses. We have brought our own both times and have done the basic package since it is cheaper, but you may want to do the full package for your birthday celebration. If you have any questions, I'll be glad to give you any info. I can!

Thank you! I think I do want to do the full package this time since it's her bday and I'm not sure after this when we will go back but she's just at the perfect age where this is all still so magical and I want to make the most of it. And this way she can pick whichever dress she wants. I think she will love it and I cannot wait!

We had a princess day with older girls. We met Ariel, Merida, Cinderella & Rupunzel, Anna & Elsa & Tiana. We also met Alice and the White Rabbit & Peter Pan. We had FP for the FTH princesses. It was a fun morning.

Maybe try to do Anna & Elsa the next day. She could keep her hair up, wear her costume and meet more princesses.

I think BBB at 8AM before the park opens at 9, then a lunch at CRT, dinner at BoG and planning to do princess meets throughout the day will be AMAZING for her. Rapunzel, Tiana, Ariel (in mermaid form vs in her dress at CRT), Merida could all be met. Enchanted tales with belle and the afternoon parade as you plan on, will be perfect. She will get so much attention from CM's in her BBB get up that she will love it.

If you do BBB first thing in the morning, followed by the Perfectly Princess Tea at the GF which is from 10:30 to 12, then have dinner at CRT, that would be very special. At the tea, she will also receive a Sleeping Beauty doll. The rest of the day can be filled with the M&G at fairytale hall, under the sea, etc. Have fun and what a special day for both of you!!

We did a day like this last year. We started the day at BBB before park opening. Then we went to CRT for breakfast. We had FPs ETwB, A&E, and the Princesses. We rode the Little Mermaid ride and met Ariel. We also rode the Carousel several times that day and saw the 3:00 parade. We ended up getting a fourth FP for the Magic Carpets of Aladdin too, which my DD loves as well as a few other attractions. We ended with dinner at BOG. We called it princess day. It was a lot of fun. I don't think you need to FP the Little Mermaid ride. It is a fast loader. I would FP ETwB and the princess meet and greet if they still have it. If not, the Ariel meet and greet as her line can get long.
