Fun Disney World "extras" for small children?

We have never done the Pirates things, since we have a daughter & they didn't have the boutique & tea party when our daughter was little. I do agree with 'Lilli" & was going to say the same thing. I believe that your children would enjoy the cruise & tea party, but I'm not too sure about the makeovers. They are expensive & everything wears off so fast. We bought our daughter a Snow White dress, to take some cute pictures with Snow White. She was OK with it for the pictures, but then she wanted her comfortable clothes. My advice would be to take that money & buy them some souvenirs they can take home with them. You could also check the WDW florist & have some surprises in the room for them when you arrive. They have standard baskets, but they let you mix & match items. We did this for our daughter's 16th birthday. You can get items like small photo items, autograph books, pens, lunch bag, balloons & washcloths & towels embroidered with their names on them. That was the surprise our daughter loved most. We have been pin traders, since they started. We all enjoy this. I'm sure that your children will have fun with it. Start off by buying a lanyard. There are many styles. Then you can buy a few pins. It's cheaper if you buy a package with several pins. The cast members MUST trade any pin you want. There are some real fanatics who run into the parks & grab the best pins from the lanyards each morning. It can get ridiculously competitive. Due to this, there are some Cast Members who wear green lanyards who only trade with children, because they were missing out on getting any good pins. The pins can be displayed in the children's room in shadow boxes or you can buy a special pin portfolio. It sounds like your children will have a wonderful & memorable trip to WDW, due to all your thoughtful planning.
