like anything, fun that gone too far, can be creepy...
Fine. Take your child. Who cares? Some don't like it and won't take their child, that's their choice. If you do, then take her.
I have 3 girls and really considered doing this. They love the barbershop (as does my son) so I thought this might be a really special thing just for the girls. Well, we were having breakfast in the castle, and we wandered into the Boutique and saw three women working on this little 4 or 5-year-old while a Photopass photographer snapped pictures and I don't know how to describe the feelings I had. It just felt all wrong. My instincts just kicked in and I really felt that the whole senario wasn't right-or maybe appropriate?-at all.
I don't want to judge other parents whose child had a great experience-I'm happy for you, really.
I think we'll just stick with the barbershop. Fifteen bucks for a great haircut and all the pixie dust you need.
I'm not judging either but......
You really just can't wander in at the castle. You would have to get pass the lady at the front desk. So I would have to believe that you went in to see what was going on.
That being said......we all have our definition of wrong.
No bad vibes.....
(Quote)I will tell you what I did find creepy during our September vacation. The first three days of our trip there was record breaking heat, the heat indexes were 108 degrees the day we were at MK. We saw little girls walking around in nylon full length dress in plasic high heels with make-up streaming down their little red faces who had obviously just been BBB'd. I had appointments for all three of our girls while we were there and I cancelled them, luckily it was a surprise and they didn't even know they didn't get to go. But on that same note, they saw all of the other little girls that had been made-up and not one of my girly girls said they wanted the make-over.Thanks crzyred, I did take my DD and she loved it! I totally agree that some will and some won't like it. There is nothing more obvious than that. I think it is the nasty comments about how the little girls look that is, to put it mildly, not very nice. Just a shame adults or those who appear to be adults can be so mean.
As far as who cares, well I do. And so do the other supporters of the BBB expereince. You must on some level or you would not respond to this.

I found it very creepy and almost cruel to see these people dragging around their children in the sweltering heat dressed like that. Would any of you like to tour MK in 100 degree weather wearing a full-length nylon dress, plastic high heels with electic blue eye shadow dripping down your face? I don't think so! (Quote)
I am just wondering why not one of the pp who think that BBB is the most wonderful, magical, greatest thing that ever happed to their little girl, had no comment what I witnessed this past September with the extreme heat the the little girls sweltering their outfits, shoes and makeup? Or is that part of the magical experience too? Florida is very, very hot for a large part of the year, and as I said I don't think it really has anything to do with creepy or cute, it has to do with your child melting in the Florida heat. So, I guess I'm wondering why nobody else thinks that's a big deal.
So, do you think that you personally could have "fun" touring Mk in a wig, full-length nylon dress, plastic shoes and full glitter make-up on a hot summer's day? Just wondering.I understand that the outfits aren't always comfortable but BBB is a choice. And even if you do choose to go to BBB you don't have to get the dress if it's really going to be too hot. Plus it's not BBB fault that some moms etc. (if any) force their children to go there and wear the outfits on a hot day, that's an issue that the parents have. Those kind of parents could have ordered that same dress from Disney Online and it would have been the same issue. Personally, I love BBB, I'm not saying everyone else does but I like the idea of letting girls play dress up and be princesses in a place like WDW. If princesses are the issue then why would anybody go to WDW, buy princess movies or what have you? Seriously, I don't think one day in a bun and a dress is going to scar any child. If that's the case we might as well get rid of prom.

Just wondering what the moms of little girls out there think of this...on the one hand, I think the BBB is a stroke of marketing genius for Disney....but the mother in me is a little disheartened, seeing all those little girls with their faces covered in makeup and glitter.
Is this harmless fun, or sending little girls the wrong message? Don't flame, just wondering if anyone felt the same way?
