We stayed at Saratoga Springs resort in a deluxe studio. There was just three of us and with such a short stay we didnt want to go a too crazy. We drove from NY to FL in our Prius. It was the first long trip in that car, amazing too since we got some excellent gas milage for the trip. Overall I think we spent about $200 in gas. Its cheaper then flying of course and renting a car. Especially since we were just going to hang around the pool.
We arrived in FL around noonish and they allowed us to check it. It was a little wet so we were concerned about rain. Hurricane Isaac had just reached Florida and was heading towards New Orleans. It was crazy but we were not going to cancel our trip.
Any event, Saratoga springs was walking distance to downtown marketplace in Disney, one night we walked around the marketplace. The weather was sketchy and it would rain then stop then rain then stop over and over and over. It was a pain.
We got to the World of Disney store, if you have ever been you know its very large! We took our time walking thru the store. When we got to the side were the Boutique is my daughter gets excited and wanted to get her self done up. I was on the fence, she had it done a very long time ago and maybe it would be nice but I was stalling. Walking around we found D-Tech me. It had just opened up they told us.
They take images of your child and put them on a figurine! All the princess were available as a choice, she wanted Cinderella of course, naturally we were intrigued. They had two sizes available and we were really wanting the smaller one. Turned out you cant get the small one because its an 'add on' to the large one. You can choose the hair color of the princess - she wanted the original blonde for Cinderella. The figure stands about 6 inches tall.
Well we gave in and we did it. They took a picture of my daughter, the high tech camera took an image from 8 different angles. It was amazing. We were able to choose the image we wanted to use. They took about 8 shots and we picked the best one. They told us it would take about 5-6 weeks to get it.The order was placed on August 28, the package arrived on Sept 12. That is just over two weeks time! Pretty amazing.
The only thing I was bummed about was that the package had no note, or message or anything just the figurine inside the box. Dunno what I was expecting but besides the nice box the delivery was boring.

Final item.
Does it look like my daughter? Yes I think so!
The large figure cost $99.95, the small on was an add on for $39.95, plus tax and shipping. Shipping was via FedEx. There was no wait, we walked by and she got in within seconds. Because of the wait and the fact they were not getting something right there, they gave her a charm bracelet with a heart.
