Last week, the little one got his first haircut at the Magic Kingdom. Things we did not know before moving here, they have an actual working barber shop on Main Street with legit comotologists. The first hair cut package is also decently prices, so it's totally a great deal and a fun memory.
We weren't 100% sure how he would react to having his haircut, but he did surprisingly well. The cast member who cut his hair did great with him as well. She started out with having him pick out a toy. One of those light up spinner toys where he has to pull the trigger to light up. I thought for sure he would be happy playing with Lightening McQueen, but he just wanted to hand it back and not really have anything to do with it. I tried a couple of times to light it up for him and make it look like it was driving, but that wasn't working very well. He did sit well even though he wasn't having the toys, which is good.
After that, she tried putting some stickers on him, which he found amusing for all of a minute and then didn't care that they were on him. That's when the bubbles were pulled out. He completely loves bubbles, so this was a great idea. He was given the empty bottle while we blew some bubbles for him, which helped distract him.
About halfway through I realized I was supposed to call his brother and video him in. Not because I forgot about him, but because we wound up getting him in earlier for his cut than we had originally planned. Once I video'd him in, it was all smiles and funny faces from there.
Once he was finished, the stickers actually doubled as a sort of lint roller to get the extra hair off his clothes. He was given a super cute pair of Mickey ears that say "First Haircut" on the back. He had a blast checking himself out in the mirrors and seeing his new hair and ears. On the plus side, he's a lot cooler in the Florida heat as well.
All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it. They even do adult cuts as well. It's not a full service salon by any means, but it's super cut for a quick cut and to have some memories.
