I am going down to WDW at the end of August with my 2 best-friends and my 3 year-old daughter. I was wondering if anyone had any cool ideas of something special I could do with them all in addition to just going to the parks. We are planning on spending about 5 nights and I would really like to come up with something really special and not too expensive to do with them. Anyone have any advice?

I suggest dinner at 1900 Park Fair at the Grand Floridian. It's a Cinderella themed dinner buffet, and easier to book than the princess character breakfast or lunch at Cinderella Royal Table at the MK. Your little girl will love it, and you and your friends can enjoy wine or a cocktail with dinner, which is not available at the MK.

You might want to take your daughter to the Bippity Boppity Boutique in either Cinderella's Castle or Downtown Disney. :)

There's also an afternoon tea available in the Grand Floridian. Not a character meal, but a nice 'girly' thing to do.

I had went with my 5y/o daughter, my bestfriend and her 2 girls in October 2007 for a just girls trip. We truly had a blast!! It was a special bonding moment for all of us. The girls favorite place was the Princess lunch at Norway. They took a picture with Belle with the photograper (had to pay out of pocket for this, now it is included in the price), the other princesses that were there were Ariel, Cinderella, Jasmine and Sleeping Beauty. They were so excited to have all those princesses in one place. It was truly a magical trip. I can't wait to do it again!!!!

2nd that vote! It does take a bit of time, though, so depends how long the tyke can sit still.
