Making the Magic Happen
>> Thursday, January 15, 2009
Sorry about the skimpy blogging lately, we're heading to Disney World in 2 weeks...and with any seemingly simple event involving an allergic kid....there are so many things to think about. The food stuff has been an evolving process, picking restaurants, talking to chefs, reading menus, finding an online grocery delivery service for the hotel, buying snacks. Gina Clowes, over at allergymoms.com had a great article this summer on food allergies at Disney, so that has helped a lot.
The part that has me laughing right now is the Problem With Princess Dresses. Most normal people can go to Toys R Us or the Disney Store and come away with a princess dress for about $20 or so. I tried that option, and quickly realized the rashiness that results from such sparkly scratchy dresses...and it's not even warm and humid here! So here I am, sewing itch-free princess dresses...carefully covering all seams, lining with cotton and velvet, saving the shimmery pretty fabric for the outer layers....where is that fairy godmother when I need her!

Have fun at Disney! We took our son to the Rainforest Cafe (Disney Westside) last year and he loved it. We're looking forward to the T. Rex Cafe this year, but that might not be the venue of choice for the princesses!
I've heard great things about eating with food allergies at Disney. I hope you have a great time and I hope you'll share pictures of the dresses.
I would have just said "sorry, no princess dresses", I know I'm awful! I'm sitting here making this big deal to my girls saying "look at the picture, her daughter has itchy skin like you, it looks like she might even have that ankle ecsema like you have (I'm trying to help them realize they are not alone), and the only response I hear is Emily yelling... "THAT'S SLEEPING BEAUTY...AND THEY'RE PINK!!! I guess princesses are a better common bond than itchy skin. :)
