Ruby’s Royal Treatment

If you would’ve told Ed and I about 4 years ago (heck, even two years ago!) that we’d be taking our daughter to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disneyland for a “Princess Makeover”, we probably would’ve given you a look of disdain and exclaimed, “Never in a million years!”. Now we realize more than ever why the cliche, “Never say never” exists.

The salon is inside Fantasyland, right next to Sleeping Beauty’s castle. She chose to do this over having a birthday party this year. Thanks to ALL of her Grandparents, we were able to make this happen for her. It was pretty mind-blowing; she got to choose any gown she wanted — complete with matching crown and wand — and get her hair, nails and “makeup” done.

After her treatments concluded, she was swiveled around in her chair and told to wave her magic wand at the mirror. The curtains parted, the mirror lit up, and her new “regal” look was revealed! After she was finished, she was escorted to do a photo shoot inside a Cinderella carriage, and got to meet Cinderella, Snow White and Ariel in person.

For the rest of the day, she walked the park in her very fancy Princess Anna “Coronation Day” Gown. The big hair and makeup freaked Ed + I out a little, but seeing how happy she was the entire day made it all worth it!
