Let Them Eat Cake, Pre-Trip Report Part 2, Teen Princess Dresses

The three fancy teen princess dresses are all here and I took photos!

The first two are from PacificPlex, but I ordered them through Amazon.  The photos do not do these dresses justice.  The light in my basement is ish so the color is off a bit.  Both dresses come with a wrap which you can see hanging on the hangers.  I am going to have to make a slight modification in each of these dresses to make them fit perfectly but they are pretty close off the rack.


The detailing on the green peacock dress is really pretty  The peacock "feathers" are fabric and are appliqued onto the front and wrap around to the back.  There are also little gems sewn on through out the bodice.

She loves how there are a series of different colored underskirts that add to the overall look and color combination on the dress.

The blue dress has a sequined bodice that is just gorgeous and multi-colored underskirts that add to the look of the dress.

The back of this dress laces up, kind of like a corset, making it a lovely teen princess dress.

The third dress is by U.S. Fairytales, again ordered through amazon.  When we first saw this dress on the amazon webpage my first thought was it looked like a modern version of Cinderella.  However when we got it, we both thought it had more of an Ariel feel!  This dress fits perfect!  It also comes with a wrap.  This dress ended up being her favorite.



The dress looks more turquoise and the sequins reminded us of fish scales, while the skirts kind of look like ocean waves. The bodice detailing is beautiful.  This dress also laces up in the back. The wraps with the other two dresses are plain but the wrap for this dress has beads sewn on the edges.  Just gorgeous!

She wants to get capri or bike length leggins to wear under the dresses and will be wearing sandles or high top tennis shoes.  This princess has some tomboy in her.  She is also talking about dying her hair purple for the occasion.

I bought all of these dresses at a very discounted cost so my wallet is very happy too.  She looks and feels amazing in them and ultimately that was the goal, for her to feel like a princess.

Disney, DAS and Disabilities

You may or may not be aware of the recent changes at Disney for guests with disabilities.  In the past, guests with disabilities could obtain a GAC (Guest Assistance Card).  This card let guests with multiple types of disabilities (and up to 6 family members) that may not be able to stand in long lines or who used mobility assisted devices such as wheel chairs and ECV’s that did not maneuver well in lines, a separate queue with less waiting and more room for maneuvering . Then this happened... Rich Manhattan moms hire handicapped tour guides so kids can cutlines at Disney World .  Obviously not in the spirit the GAC was intended.   Disney decided to change their GAC policy to the DAS (Disability Access Service) .  The DAS basically works like a fast pass.  You take your card to the Disney Cast Member and they give you a return time based on the current wait times for that ride.  The family can then go do something else and then return...

Fairy Godmother Cosplay

  I went to an Anime convention this past weekend with my daughter and some of her friends, along with one of my friends.  It was mostly anime but there were some costumes from other IP's, such as Disney.  I met several adult cosplayers who cosplay Disney character pretty often and enjoyed my conversations with them.  It got me thinking about my days as an older teen and twenty something and my favorite cosplayers back in the day.  I also did some cosplay back then and was feeling nostalgic.  As an 50+, plus sized adult, I generally do very generalized, non-specific cosplays.  But in recent years I have a dream cosplay of being Fairy Godmother from the original Cinderella animation from 1950.  I just adore her.  I started discussing it with my friend and wondering how my con experience would be different if I went in recognizable cosplay.  My friend and I sometimes get treated as "less than" at cons.  It feels ageist.  I am won...

Disney Food

Since I didn't get to go to Disney for my 25th anniversary, and it looks like we may not being going for a while yet, I have become interested in creating Disney themed foods, getting Disney cook books of theme park recipes and creating things like Tea at the Grand Floridian or a meal at Casey's Corner here at home. I am also having a hankering for some Mickey waffles, because everything taste better when its shaped like Mickey.  I am working on a plan.  I hope to have it come to fruition soon. Have a Magical Day!
