Originally Posted By momofbuzzfan We went to Build-A-Bear last May for my son's birthday party. It was our local mall...not Downtown Disney.

My son made Buzz Lightyear and my daughter made Cinderella and they are adorable. My daughter picked the curly bear (cutest one in my opinion) and I believe it was around $15. We didn't do voices, which is definitely extra. I think you also asked about reservations....but I don't know that you can make them unless you have a group. But I may be way off on that, and they might do things differently at the Downtown Disney store. Have fun!
Originally Posted By atinkfan Check out Buildabear.com.....it has prices of their animals and clothing, accessories, etc. Depending on the animal you choose, they range in price from $10.00 up to $25.00. We did this a couple years ago in DTD and just walked in to the store. I suppose you could always call and ask about reservations!
Originally Posted By funnygarcia No reservations. You can spend as little as $10 just for the bear but then the furry friend is nakey. GASP! He looks longing at all the pretty things in the store and cries out to you that he needs clothes and accesories like rollerskates! ..... depends on how much you want to spend. We did a medium sized bear and one outfit,was about $35. You can get an idea of pricing at their web site <a href="http://www.buildabear.com" target="_blank">http://www.buildabear.com</a>

If you are a guest of the DLR you are eligible for early entry into the store at 9am (store opens at 10 am). It was nice, there were about 10 of us in total and it was great to have the whole store to ourselves. I have never done BAB before so I don't know if they always give such great indivdual attention to everyone like that. But they were very sweet to my boys (3 and 5 yrs old). We spent about $150 for 2 animals with sound, 2 outfits, skates and shoes. I also used the 10% off coupon in the AAA coupon fun book. It is definitely worth doing.
Originally Posted By fidoprincess I agree with Joeysmommy! We LOVE doing the BAB early entry! One time we were the ONLY ones there and boy did my kids get the royal treatment! The last time we went there were only about 5 kids total and they always give "special" extras like a brush, stickers and other things you don't normally get. My kids are so shy that they were just overwhelmed by all the crowds and never could find an open dressing area so for them, it is the way to go! I am sure your 5 year old will love it but it is addicting! Each time we go back, the kids bring their animals and get new outfits but something great always seems to be "new" and they end up getting new animals-lol! DD is hoping Pooh will still be there since we missed it when he came out over the summer. Anyone seen Pooh at the DTD store lately?
