Bippity Boppity Boutique on the Disney Cruise – a Full Reveal

The Bippity Boppity Boutique is any princess – wannabe’s dream come true.  The spa / salon is decked out with darling Disney princess details including a gem atop the vanity, shoppable wardrobes around the perimeter, and a menu of services featuring magical makeovers. disney cruise review, disney cruise princess Given Juliet’s closet was already bursting with princess dresses, we opted for the one service that did not include a new dress in order to keep the cost down and to ensure her closet would be able to still close.  princess boutique, princess salon, bippity boppity booHer princess experience with the “crown package” for $64.96 included a “diva” hairstyle of choice including extensions, make-up application with gem stickers, princess sash and commemorative bag, glittery manicure and a wave of wishful wand (which sprinkled a little Disney magic on her).   The picture-taking opportunities though…priceless!

bippity boppity boutique, disney cruise afternoon tea, afternoon princess teaThe whole experience was both picturesque and delightful and I’d highly recommend it for a special mommy and me memory.  Extra special touches included the verbiage the “fairy godmothers-in-training” used.  “Purse your lips now like Tiana would to kiss a frog”  (when applying lipstick) for example.  The stylists were well-versed in all things Disney and carried on cute conversations with the little ones to spark their imagination and wonderment.  “Did you know Ariel was just here in this very seat yesterday?!”

Juliet was so excited because she was allowed to keep and take home the make-up set and glittery polish as part of the package.  Click here to read on for all the package offerings and details.  They even offer knight, captain and pirate packages for the boys!

things to do in tokyo, cook tokyo, travel to tokyo, tokyo for kids, tokyo

If you’re looking for a list of the most popular tourist attractions, the top temples, or info. on the major amusement parks, museums and zoos to take your kids to in Tokyo, this is not for you.  Yes, there is a Tokyo Disneyland, Legoland, museum of nature and science, and Ueno Zoo but there are also similar sights elsewhere.  If you’re looking for the wild, the wacky and the only-in-Tokyo experiences, you’ve come to the right place!  Here are 5 must-see spots to take your kids to while in Tokyo that are beyond wild and wacky.  These will leave you craving more of the colorful, crazy, and quirky “kawaii” that makes Tokyo the most memorable place to travel to.

  1. Maid Cafe

  2. Most typically found in the Akihabara district of Tokyo, these maid cafes promise to treat you as master as they welcome you into their girly, frilly world of cuteness.    maidWith a diverse mix of families celebrating a birthday, giggling girls coming in for an after-school treat, to tourists and the random old man, the room is filled with a curious audience entranced by the spell these girls cast.  These happy-go-lucky maids dressed in stereotypical maid costumes only seen during Halloween in the States, dance, sing, play toys and games, pose for photos and encourage you to singalong and cast a spell onto your food.  What?  Yes.  Form your hands into a heart and in your most adorable voice, repeat after me…”“moe, moe, kyun!”DSC_8468tokyo themed cafe, at home maid cafe I, as an American tourist did not understand.  But I didn’t care.  And neither did my 4 year old who was just as entranced as I was.  She had so much fun she even exclaimed that she changed her mind.  She didn’t want to be a doctor anymore.  She wanted to be a waitress!  Great.  Just great.  We left in bliss anyways.

  3. Animal themed Cafe

  4. If dining with your family has become monotonous, don’t fret!  ‘Cuz in Tokyo you can choose to dine with an animal of your choice!  There are plenty of cat cafes, dog cafes, bunny cafes and even owl cafes to suit your fancy!  We chose the exotic-sounding owl cafe and weren’t disappointed.japan things to do, japan themed cafe, kyoto owl cafe, owls, owlHow is it that in the States, we were never allowed to touch owls?? Apparently they’re super friendly and enjoy being petted?! We got such a kick out of this place and couldn’t believe how many different owls there were..ones I didn’t even know existed.  It was surreal.  Every few steps, we met a wildly different owl. Check out this one that looked wooden!DSC_0351We got to pet (with the back of our hands) about 15 different owls that day.  How cool is that?  Juliet just learned about owls at school too and was super psyched.  Hoot Hoot!  What an amazing learning experience for the kids to learn fun facts about owls hands on.
