Perfectly Princess Tea w/ Aurora questions

[jnordan]

My guidebook says that this tea is for ages 3-11, and my oldest daughter will be 4.5 when we take our trip, so I'm definitely planning on doing this with her.

BUT, my youngest daughter will be a little more than 2.5, but not yet 3. My guidebook also says that siblings can attend (for a cost), but does that mean only if they are over 3?

Maybe it sounds crazy for me to be thinking of wanting to do this with my less-than-3-year-old, but my youngest wants to do EVERYTHING that my oldest does, and already dances around the house in princess dresses, shoes, and everything else!

And actually, I was planning on taking my 4.5 year old to BBB before the tea, but my youngest would love that, too! She LOVES for me to paint her nails, put cream on her face -- all of that stuff!

So, I'm just thinking, if I'm doing all of this special stuff with my 4.5 year old, what could we do with my 2.5 year old? Maybe while I'm with my oldest at Aurora's tea, DH could take my little one somewhere special? Should I do the BBB with both of them, then part ways?

Also, what do we do for the rest of the day? If the girls are all dressed up, they'll want to be going places, I'm sure! But actually, it's one of our "unscheduled days" in my itinerary. Any dinner suggestions?

Well, I'm not sure that you will be able to do BBB and the Tea Party on the same day. The Tea Party ressies state that you should arrive at GF at 10:00, I know party starts at 10:30 but they want you there 30 minutes early. The earliest ressie you can get at BBB is 9:30 and it takes approx. 1 hour to get this done according to the CM who took my ressie. There is no way you can make it on time to the Tea Party according to the ressie requirements. Sorry!!

Oh, really?!?

They should open the BBB earlier!

Maybe I need to reconsider, then . . . Maybe BBB and Park fare? That way both girls can get all made up, I suppose. . .

What a bummer!

I think I'll call them today and chat. Maybe if we just do the coach package and are ready to go right at 9:30. . .

Hi. My daughter has a reservation at BBB before we go to PF for dinner with Cinderella. But my 2.5 yr. old will not be allowed to go to BBB because the age is 3 and up. They said I could buy her a tiara and the lip gloss though so hopefully she'll be satisfied with that. I know what you mean though about the younger daughter wanting to do everything her big sister does. Our plan is to have my husband take my 2.5yo somewhere else while my 3.5yo has her hair done. Hopefully it won't register...... Crossing my fingers. Good luck!

Wow, thanks! I had no idea that the BBB had age restrictions! That seems a little ridiculous to me, actually. My (then) 2.5 year old would probably love it even more than my (then) 4.5 year old!
