Throwing a Princess Makeover Playdate #shop #DisneyBeauties

One of the side effects of being a girl with an older brother is you have a lot of trucks, trains, zombies, and dirt in your life. While this might drive some little girls crazy, my Lyla just rolls with it all and puts her Disney Princesses inside a dump truck and drives them through piles of  Superheros to get to her castle. On her first day of preschool she jumped into my arms and told me “I have a new friend and she LOVES princesses too.” I knew we needed a playdate for the girls and it was going to be all about the princesses. So when we were grabbing our copy of Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition, we picked up a few Princess Party Essentials to set the scene for the perfect Princess Makeover Playdate for Lyla and her new BFF Louisa.

Throwing a Princess Makeover Playdate is actually pretty fabulous and pretty easy. We used a lot of the Princess toys and accessories that we already had and jazzed up the house with a few new special surprises. First you need to set the scene with snacks and special treats fit for a princess. I hit up the party section at Walmart and grabbed all of the Princess Party supplies at a great price! I got a lot of bang for my buck and the table looked adorable!

Of course, you need all of the essentials for a Princess Makeover, like great shoes.

But more than the shoes, dresses and glitter nails, the best parts of being at a Princess Makeover is being creative and making something beautiful like these Princess paintings.

And using your imagination when playing and sharing with our friends

The girls had so much fun playing together they never got the chance to watch Sleeping Beauty. Guess that means we have to have another Lyla and Louisa Princess Playdate very soon! I’m sure neither of the girls will complain!

Did you pick up your copy of Sleeping Beauty yet? Walmart is the only place to get the  Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition and the special Bonus DVD combo pack. And if you need me to, I can sing Once Upon a Dream for you. I’ll start warming up right now.

Sleeping Beauty #DisneyBeauties #shopMy daughter has the same view of Disney Princesses that I do on fabulous shoes: we love them all, and they are essential when playing dress up.  So while we may still have a few weeks until Halloween,  come to our house on any given day and you will find my little girl all decked out in full costume of her favorite Princess of the day.  Her current favorite Princess is Sleeping Beauty, and it’s perfect timing because Disney is getting ready to bring her out of the vault! She knows all the words to Once Upon a Dream, but she’s never seen the movie!  So this weekend we are getting the new Sleeping Beauty DVD , and in honor of the  release of Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition, Walmart has something special planned for your Princess too, a Princess Party!

So mark your calendars for a Princess Party on October 11 from 10-4 at Walmart. Make sure you bring your Princess or Prince all  dressed up in their favorite costume to take part in all of the fun! There will be Disney Princess coloring activities and you can sample Disney Princess cupcakes! It’s also a great time to snag your copy of the Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition and the special Bonus DVD combo pack and your Disney Princess Halloween Costumes. Or if you are crazy like me, you can get a jump on Holiday Shopping! Click here to see if your Walmart is participating

Sleeping Beautty DVD #DisneyBeauties #ShopWhen you get to Walmart, don’t forget to grab the American Greetings coupon so you can save $3 with any $10 purchase of Disney-themed Party Goods supplies (at participating Walmart stores). What a perfect way to get a Princess Party started!

Lyla and I will be at the Princess Party, but she can’t decide if she wants to go as Ariel or Merida. Decisions. Decisions. If you go to this event, be sure to use the #DisneyBeauties hashtag when sharing your pictures! I’ll be doing the same on my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
