Princess Mommies - Your Expertise Please!

I am hoping to make a reservation at the Bibbidy Bobbidy Botique for our upcoming trip in May. Please give me some advice on this: should I do it in the morning and then try to get in at a Princess Breakfast (not sure what time the botique opens)??? should I do it in the late afternoon and then try to schedule some sort of supper (if so, where?)?? should I do it in the am and then continue to EPCOT and maybe get some pictures with the princesses in EPCOT (as I understand they are often found in their countries in pretty gardens-great for pictures)??? or maybe many options I haven't even thought of.

My concerns are: if we do it in the morning and then continue on to a part after she is all dressed up (hairdo, etc.), will she be upset if it all falls apart after the safari ride or Big Thunder Mountain? And we usually swim in the middle of the day--so there goes the makeup we spent $175 on! BUT-----if we do it in the evening, she will go to sleep a few hours later and then she's only been able to enjoy it for a few hours? What to do, what to do?

Your help is greatly appreciated. As a mommy of only one princess, I want to make it priceless for her (and me). Thank you!

I just booked for my DD today, the CM told me that (on Sat) anyway their first appt time is 9:30 am I took this as our last thing to do before flying home. (and do a little shopping)We will go from there back to the hotel to pick up our things to go to the airport. I figured this would be a little magical thing for her to do last day since we have to head to the airport about noontime. The second reason I am saving it til then, is my DD (age 6) will have that stuff ruined in no time at a park. Then she will be mad at me for it happening LOL. She will want to play in whatever water, pop jet, or something she can and get drenched, I know her like that. THis will be way easier than having to say NOOOO Your hair will get messed up , nooo no mickey bar, you will get icecream all over your makeup and it will come off when we wash your face, etc etc.... so thats how I am working it in on my trip!

My opinion is to go later in the day- and then do a dinner..You could still get into 1900 Park Fare at the GF I believe and dine with Cinderella and Prince Charming. When we were there Prince Charming played it up big with my dd(she was dressed as Belle) It was a great evening and how we started our trip so it was fun fun fun. I am glad I did this last year because this year- no interest in the princess stuff When I showed her the Boutique pictures she saw the pirate section and asked can we go there instead? So my girlie girl days are over(she is my only girl- 3 boys and her) Enjoy!

Do you have a non-park day scheduled? Maybe you could do this late in the morning and then the Perfectly Princess Tea Party.
