If I were that check in CM, I'd be a little skeeved out that everyone knew I was taking a long time in the bathroom! Maybe the barber should've come up with a less specific reason for her absence. Then again, everybody poops.
I know - I felt bad for her that he was giving that detail out.
I bet they could have come up with something - every time the characters go "on break", there's an appropriate reason (i.e. - cheese break for Mickey). Made me start wondering about it while I waited - I had never thought about CMs needing to use the restroom during their shift before. Either they don't or it's usually "hidden", I guess. Made me ponder if she was pregnant or ill or something.
So cute to be able to get Izzy's first haircut at Disney!
It was a fun experience. And, so far, it's the only haircut she's had! The way she's going, she can probably get her second haircut in WDW too.
Hahha I laughed at Joyce's comment because I agree, kind of weird to tell everyone that she needed so long in the bathroom! LOL!
It really was weird. I was thinking that at the time too - just uncomfortable.
But anyway, her first haircut was so cute! I considered booking that again for Aria but I am thinking about growing out her bangs...
It is a good deal, even if she just wants a little trim and/or some sparkles. I can't even comprehend growing out bangs with Izzy yet - she's still got such short hair! I grew mine out in 2nd grade and never grew them back.
And speaking of those mickey ears - Aria hated hers at first (I loved your "she finally accepted her mickey ear fate" comment lol) but has recently asked to wear them at random. They are still the only Mickey ears she has.
Izzy never wears hers, even though they're sitting out, but she does sometimes wear the Minnie ear headband from her 1st birthday party - though often around her neck and not always on her head.
I'm glad that Izzy's first haircut went well! We took Rory there for his in February and it didn't go so well. Since he's a boy they used the buzzers and that was the deal breaker. I thought the haircut was a good deal though, since you get the haircut, mouse ears, certificate and the lock of hair!
Oh, I bet the buzzers would have been unwelcome with Izzy. Hard to stay distracted through that! But, yeah, you do get a lot for your money there.
Wonderful idea about changing into jammies at night. I'm already planning on using your idea of keeping him in the stroller if he's still sleeping, then moving him when he wakes up. Thanks for that
I stole the jammies idea from other TRs, so happy to pay it forward. I found that moving her in the middle of the night worked well at that time, as she was still waking up once per night, so she was used to going back to sleep. I'd worry about it now, though, since she sleeps all night. I don't know if she'd wake up from the stroller and, if she did, I don't know if she'd settle back to sleep nicely - keep it in mind, I guess. All I know is that we determined early on in this trip that transferring her from stroller nap to PnP was a BAD idea.
Oh my gosh, what a hassle with the GC's! I know a lot of people do this, but it seems that everyone always has issues at the end. I did this once with our
Disney Cruise and I remember it taking forever, but no problems.
For some reason, this just took extraordinarily long - computers were very slow, I guess. I mean, we were walking into the lobby around 9:15am and didn't get to MK until close to 10:30, so that was pretty extreme. In August, I did the same thing and it only took 5 minutes and went smoothly (though it still felt like it was taking forever, as the trip was so short that I was impatient to go and do things). Because we get the discounts on the Gift Cards, though, it's worth it for the savings.
Did they ever once ask you to fold up the stroller on the monorail? We had gone on the monorail a couple times with the stroller and never had to fold it, but it was never busy. Now that we're at a monorail resort for our entire stay, i'm curious if they'll ever have us fold it up when it gets busy.
Nope, never needed to fold it on the monorail. Or on the Friendship Boats, for that matter. Really convenient!
Aw her first haircut
I remember that day so well. He hasn't had a haircut since last October and we're thinking about schdeluing one at the MK in January, but i'm not sure if he'll sit still for that. He doesn't like me even brushing his hair.
His haircut pictures were SO cute! I think he enjoyed the result more than Izzy did.
We're the same and haven't had her hair cut since - of course, Calvin has a lot more hair than Izzy.
I love her Minnie outfit! I need pink, frilly pretty things around this house
Thanks! Maybe you can convince Calvin to wear some pretty things.
Izzy has a pair of boys' Buzz Lightyear pajamas that she is quite fond of, so maybe it goes both ways.
man, that did take a long time for Dug to finish the transaction - good call going for a walk, etc.
Really glad I took that walk. Made the wait far more enjoyable, at least for me and Izzy. I love exploring new paths.
The first haircut looks like so much fun - we could just never wait but still might want to take the kids there some day. Glad Izzy did well with it - well, other than wearing the mouse ears of course
What, you didn't get Emma's hair cut on your trip?!
It's a memorable way to do the first haircut, that's for sure. And you get tormented with mouse ears too! Dug has gotten his hair cut there a couple times (as an adult) and it's been a good experience for him too.
mine wouldn't wear it either, didn't want to ruin her pixie dust do!!! 
It's so funny to hear her voice there, as she was just starting to talk - it's so different than it is now - it's like she didn't really know how to use her voice properly yet back then. Pretty cute, though.
Ha, I just discovered that smilie and had to use it!) Today, she voluntarily put on her Minnie ear headband (as close as she'll get to wearing ears) while she watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so that's progress, I guess. 
We parted ways here, at the stroller parking area:
