Come on, Disney – do better! The cast member should have offered to order the dress the little girl really wanted and exchange the dresses when it came in. Problem solved!
Sounds like the mother was more traumatized than the child! If you had only one choice in mind, should have brought a dress with you! This is a very popular place and they stay solidly booked. They can’t guarantee that all sizes of all dresses will be available. Be realistic!
This is what we call traumatic? When I was 8 my siblings and I were nearly killed by someone my Dad had arrested on the night my grandfather died. I’m sorry for this girl that she didn’t get her dress but TRAUMATIC?!!!!!! What are we teaching kids these days?
Offerings ARE limited. YES, she should have had her child pick a second choice no matter what age she is. Sounds like she is one VERY spoiled child who thinks she will always get exactly what she wants – along with a mom who thinks her daughter will always get exactly what she wants. After researching and being warned that offerings are limited, she should have done exactly what she suggested – called and made sure it was in stock before ever starting – and not built it up in the little girl’s head. That’s what smart parents do, especially after being warned in advance. Why didn’t she try making this a surprise? Instead, after spending all that money, she got what she deserved: a pouty, bratty child who didn’t get what her parents had built it up to be (something tells me she would have found something to be disappointed about, dress or no dress).
First, I can’t believe the cheapest option is now $99! I have 2 daughters (now 19 & 14) who have been numerous times to BBB. I thought it was expensive when they went at like $49.99 — 79.99. And we always brought dresses/costumes with us! Maybe try the pirate’s league next time. My youngest did it once and it was fun! I don’t think there’s an age limit either, so adults can do it too!
Tragic the little girl didn’t get the dress she wanted. Oh please, no one gets what they want. The mother and girl had the choice to leave if they couldn’t get the dress. No one put a gun to there heads. This isn’t Tragic its just life. How pathetic.
I thought this was gonna be about the mentally dude in a dress getting all dressed up in make up and touching kids at the BBB.
Saw the viral video it was gross.
Agree with above comments. I have three grandchildren, 2 which are girls and we are doing this in January. These girls have been taught well, even the 3 year old. They will immediately decide on another dress and be happy with their choice. I love them dearly and of course hope they get what they want. Blaming Disney and letting your child hear that is more traumatic than they better explanation., you will be beautiful in whichever you choose. People and their feelings these days are 80 percent of the problem. If this ruined her experience, shame on the parents!
ITM needs to take this down! It’s one more way to degrade the Magic of Disney for families. Aside from this is ludicrous, is there northing better to write about!
We went to BBB with my daughter when she was 8. We had planned months in advance and built it up too since my daughter was very nervous. We were taken into the room with the magic mirror to wait about 45 mins despite booking months prior. We had a special coronation ceremony at Akersus planned to make her feel like a real princess. The fairy godmother in training comes in and pulls me aside to tell me they’re not doing her makeover. I asked why and they insisted my daughter had head lice. She did not. She has a medical condition that gives her extremely dry scalp resulting in dandruff. I tried to explain this, but they wouldn’t listen telling me to use lice shampoo and book another appointment. My poor daughter was devastated for the rest of the day. The BBB canceled our dinner and rebooted it telling us to come back, but when we went back they hadn’t booked us in so we couldn’t do it again. We did not use lice shampoo on her and guess what? The Dr confirmed she did not have lice. Just really dry scalp. I had to buy her a dress and fancy tiara and try to do it myself. At least they really switched our dinner reservations….
We were there in March! And the same thing happened to us. You pay the maximum dollar for the biggest package and they talked my girl into getting a size down because they didn’t have her size. She was miserable. I had to go get a refund and exchange for a dress in her size. it was not a good experience and it was sad. It was our first time at Disney not to mention the hair process. The bun was so tight they pulled her hair terribly wasn’t a good experience.
I ordered my granddaughters dress after Halloween last year at 50% off from ShopDisney.
I did this first and foremost to make sure she got the exact dress she wanted.
Also, I saved a LOT of money this way.
The parents knew going into it the dress may not be available. The fact that she had to choose another dress isn’t trauma. Also the parents knew this dress was hard to get and running short in supply. They should have cancelled the appointment or brought their own dress. Or had her confidently pick a different dress before her appointment. Then it wouldn’t have been such a let down the day of.
Sounds like a good learning experience for the four year old. We don’t always get what we want but should be appreciative for what we are given. Hardly traumatizing. Kids follow their parents lead. If you would have portrayed happiness it could have still been a magical experience for your child.
First of all, sorry that your child is a spoiled brat, and gets everything she wants in life. This is real life, stores won’t always have your child’s size in stock. If this is traumatic, she’s got a long road ahead of her buddy

Is this a joke?! BAHAHAHA WHAT?! It’s not their responsibility to baby this child. She needs to learn you can’t always get what you want.
And this is NOT trauma.

I assume the experience is only for black children as the children in the advertisements are black here. I wonder what the real ratio is

It’s disappointing but traumatic is a bit much. Considering what is going on in the world.
