I have really enjoyed reading about y'all's adventures in Disney. My niece is only 13 months old but she seems to be a princess-in-training already! I can totally see someone (*ahem her aunt ahem*) taking her to BBB when she's older! 
I don't think my dd knows that we paid for it. After she was all done up, we paid our bill, but she was already outside with my mother and mil while Disney made their fast buck on me
The t shirt is actually a surprisingly great value imo, it was only $15! One of the least expensive shirts I have seen on property! I liked how there was also a princess trading pin attached to the gift bag w/ all of her extra makeup & goodies. Even though it's expensive, I do feel like we got a lot for our money. First, the experience itself, but also quite a few tangible items to take home too. And as you said in another response, the dresses are a really nice quality. Dd's was used for the full day in the park and several times for dress up around the house so far, and it still looks brand new. The shoes (glittery pink Sleeping Beauty) are in pretty rough shape, but they served their purpose!
Well, I did call but they had absolutely nothing available on the days we'll be in MK.But, I think I'm going to try & do it for him on the Fantasy next May. Did you know that the Fantasy has a BBB? The boys can get pirate makeovers at the BBB on the ship. I bet Maddie would love to try out the BBB on a ship.
Am I doing a good job of convincing you to set sail with us next May?
) I am really enjoying reading your TR. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait until DD is old enough to be into dress up. Already at 21 months she is wants to carry a purse which is more than I get from her brothers, so I have hope that it is coming! Now she just needs to grow a little more hair....
Pirates League is really fun. I don't know, give Maddie a few years she may surprise you and want to do it!
I hope that she might want to go when she's older, it looks great. For now though, it's where she thinks that bad girls go instead of BBB
The other day I said something about Disney and going again and my mom said, "You should really take a break from there." Oh boy, are those fighting words!
Uggghh! I hate that! I always get the "again?" response when I say we're going to Disney. Not like I asked anyone where they thought we should vacation or asked them to chip in!
I don't think Disney is expensive overall. We took a 5 day trip to Philly 3 years ago (drove) and it cost the same as our 5 day trip to Disney (flew). Plus, it was so much less stressful because we never had to leave property! 'Cause driving in downtown Philadelphia? Not. Fun. At. All.
I loved the BBB posts!! Maddie is so adorable!! What a fun post! My Madison is a bit too old for that and even if it is expensive I was I had a little girl to throw away my money for at BBB!!!
Thank you so much! I'd throw my money away there any day! Too bad it wasn't around for your Madison, you'd have loved it!
I have been reading along, but don't think I have posted here. So hello!
Thank you for joining in! HI!
Ohhh, you'll have so much fun spoiling your niece at Disney! You HAVE to take her to the BBB!!! Every little princess should get to try it!
You're doing a GREAT job convincing me, now I just have to convince the checkbook!
Here's the strategy I used when trying to convince Ed to go on the Dream last May: wait until he's watching a REALLY important sporting event, then go & start asking him if he wants to do this Disney cruise & start listing all the reasons of why it'll be so great. He'll be so eager to watch his game & shut you up that he'll quickly say, "Yes! Just book it!" And yes, that is honest to goodness how I talked Ed into our 1st cruise. 
Okay, Bryan, if you're reading this..........book the cruise! You won't regret it!
Yeah, I was bummed that they didn't have anything. But, hopefully I'll be able to do it for him on the cruise for Pirate night.
That'd be awesome for Pirate Night! How fun for a little boy!
You wouldn't be the 1st person I talk into Disney cruising.
Oops....you said Bryan reads this sometimes right? Dang....I should've PM'd you.
He's wants to cruise, but he also wants to skip a vacation this year. I honestly don't think he regrets it later though.
My strategy is usually to wear him down. If I mention it often enough and find a way for it to work financially, he usually gives in. That's how the April trip happened!

I cannot wait for my DD to be old enough to go (she will be only turning 2 on our next trip!) There is so much for everyone to enjoy! Oh well. My dad used to live in Philadelphia and I know I wouldn't want to be driving around there! But I get lost in the town I have lived in for basically all my life so I probably shouldn't drive anywhere.The other day, Reid & I were on our way home from swim lessons. I jokingly said to him, "Hey! How about we just go to Disney instead of going home?" His response was "No Mommy! We need the countdown calendar to say zero." I said, "You're right Reid. Plus we should wait for Daddy to be able to come with us." He says, "Well yeah. We need him to pay for Disney World."
Maddie was precious all dressed up like Jasmine.
Besides that one time I was sneaky with convincing Ed to cruise.......I do usually approach him with the basics: when, where, how much, how we can afford it. Since I started staying at home with Reid 2 years ago, I do sometimes feel guilty about planning these vacations that I know Ed will have to work hard to pay for. But, he says he doesn't mind and he does love our vacations. Vacations have always been a priority to us ever since we got married. It's good to have that time away from home & the every day stuff to help you re-energize.

click only if you want to know how to beat buzz lightyear. (where the "easter eggs" are) IMO, knowing these makes the game less fun. and I agree, I can never tell which is my dot anyway. but I do manage to get the robot arm in the first room alot (unless nebo is controlling the car
It's got to be a Disney wedding doesn't it? I mentioned to Bryan the other day how much it costs. It's crazy!Love love the BBB photos! What a wonderful experience and worth every dollar, honestly if you can do for your children, you do! It's what mommies and daddies are for! Nothing compares to that feeling you get when your child is amazed or excited or happy!
Oh and no one should be talking of breaks from Disney, that's just wrong
And all this cruise talk has me thinking too!
That is too funny about bad girls going to Pirate League!
My mom thinks that if I speak it means please interject all your opinions now.
She drives me crazy sometimes. I'm joining in...I'm loving all your pictures! Especially all your pictures of Tusker House! We are eating there for the first time in December and I've been on the fence about eating there since people either love it or hate it. (We have a goal to eat at all the restaurants...so it's inevitable that we'll get there eventually.) Last night I sat on my iPad showing DH all your pictures. We're both excited! I can't wait till our daughter is big enough to do BBB. DH on the other hand is glad that he has at least two more years to wait see her all dressed up...I think the last trip we took he told me his wallet was grateful as well.
It's when I start adding on to the vacation or upgrading something that I usually go in with a point to prove.
That's hilarious! Poor Daddy
Poor kid doesn't know what kind of deal he was making there. On the other hand, Ed was quite happy with that deal. 
).(and tell Dad to lighten up...it will only get worse as she gets older so he should prepare himself
! Our flower girl did BBB the morning of our dress rehearsal and she was still gliding on air that evening. She too picked out the Jasmine shoes and they made an appearance at the reception.
