I mentioned that I had forgotten to take Alyssa's Cinderella dress, so she had no princess dress to wear to the BBB, and I certainly wasn't upgrading to the Crown package, for $175. So after eating at AKL the previous night, my parents took the kids back to OKW and I made a quick dash over to MK to buy a dress for her. $60 later I was on my way back to OKW with an Ariel dress.
So on Monday we get up and Alyssa and I head straight to DTD. We had the first appt. at BBB at 9 AM. If any of you do this, beware that the buses do not start running to DTD as early as they do the parks, because nothing is open. The World of Disney doesn't open until 0930, but the BBB, which is in WOD opens at 0900. Anyway, we were at the bus stop at 0815 and the TL bus pulls up, and the driver gratiously offers to take us to DTD since no one was going to TL. Thank you, driver! We got there with plenty of time to spare and walk around checking out all the
lego statues.
A few other little princesses to be start trickling in. About 8:50 they open the doors to WOD and we head to the back where the BBB is. At this time about 10 Fairy Godmother's in Training converge on us, which sort of overwhelms Alyssa. She clings to me and is rather shy around them, not wanting to get in her chair. After a little encouragement, she eventually sits and lets them start transforming her.
The first thing they do is hand her a brochure to pick out a hairstyle. She opts for the Diva Princess. FGM Maria starts working on her hair and another one lets Alyssa select what color eyeshadow she wants, nail color, hair clips, extensions, etc.
About 15 minutes later she is now a Birthday Princess.
Afterwards we are sent over to guest services where they have a photography session.
I was able to take my own pictures while the photopass photographer shot hers. I only got one, thanks to my free 5x7 coupon. Alyssa was on
.
In the meantime, my mom, dad and Nicholas headed to MK, where Nicholas got his hair done at the barber shop.
By afternoon he was hating it, because it dried, got hard, and started itching. He still has a faint red spot on the back of his head where the dye hasn't completely faded away. We eventually meet up, do a few rides, and then have lunch at CRT, which, as usual, was delicious.
Around 2 we head out and back to our resort for a cool-down and a nap. When we there Alyssa's bday cake had been delivered, along with balloons and a card from Cinderella. Of course we had to have cake then, before our nap.
Around 5 we headed back to MK for some more rides, Spectromagic and Wishes. I liked how this picture turned out. Most of the other ones ended up blurry.
I am so happy..I thought I would just end up maintaining.
for everyone. I am heading to bed.
Congratulations! You are doing so great!
I was looking at info & pictures on Pop on allears. I am so excited to try this resort. What is the best building for us do you think?

and 
I can run a Girl Scout troop, transport girls, etc but cannot volunteer at this council sponsored event. 
to all of you.
She said Dadboss always says really nice things about me to her DH and she is convinced that they couldn't ask for a better applicant. So that's terrific! She said her current nanny is kind of deciding this weekend whether she wants to keep her hours or give up her job, but there is also the factor that her English fluency isn't very good. That is causing some issues with their DD6 because the nanny really can't read to her and help her with her homework. So let's hope that she decides to bow out gracefully and go spend some time with her new baby, and I can work out somethng with this family to be my new employers. I hope I like them!
I am encouraged about this family since they have already heard good things about me, and it wasn't like Dadboss was trying to market me to them, he was just talking to his co-workers. 
I am so happy that we decided to go through this rescue group!
