Disney World 2010- Day 8

How fun is it to wake up in Disney World on your birthday??? Well…let me tell you…Sami thought it was amazing!!! I had some big plans and big surprises for her 6th birthday…

All week she had been commenting on the little girls walking around who had visited the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. There are two locations, and it is a very popular place for little girls to get made into a princess! Every time she would mention it we would quickly come up with an excuse of why we couldn’t do it… I usually blamed it on my lack of ability to get an appointment. Thankfully I booked the appointment before we ever left-it is like the restaurants…hard to get in!!!!

We went to Downtown Disney…as we were walking towards the store Sami noticed that all of the stores were closed. She asked…”why are we here if it isn’t even open???” We broke the exciting news that we were on our way to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique…and she nearly peed her pants from excitement! My mom has a great shot of her excited face on her camera!

When we walked in they gave her a royal invitation! When they found out it was her birthday they pulled out all the stops! She got a special birthday sash, and they announced that “birthday princess Samantha has arrived”…so special!!!

There are a few different package options. We decided to let her do the whole kit and caboodle…we usually get her a costume from the Disney Store for Halloween anyways, and without doing a birthday party this year…we made out WAY ahead! Ha!

She got to choose any costume in the store…she chose Ariel the bride. She put it on (it came with dress, shoes, tiara, and wand) and met her Fairy Godmother in Training (FGIT) who was SO sweet!

Sami chose the princess diva look. There was a really sweet little bun look that I thought was really precious, but Sami wanted the pink extension fun look. So…she got her hair done…pink extensions and all…

The package also included a photo session in the studio with the Photopass photographers. It also included prints (which to me are the real value! Ha!) People look at me like I’m CRAZY when I say we went to BBB, but if you add up all of the items and products she went home with (she got to keep the makeup and nail polish too) the service itself really isn’t that much. Besides…how often are you at Disney World on your 6th birthday?? Winking smile
