This sounds like a blast! I remember my first visit to a Disney store with my mom as a little one. So much fun.

So glad I found your blog! What fun and great photos!! My daughter has been once to the store for her cousin's birthday party. We didn't get to eat in the bistro as their parties are super expensive but they did offer a party where they provide pink lemonade, cake pops in a glass full of pink sugar and the table was decorated with pink flowers. So cute! For girls that don't have their own dolls, they let you "borrow" a doll for the party and she even has her own little highchair she sits in. My daughter is only 5 so we didn't buy her a doll yet but I told her maybe when she is 6. For now, she is happy with the My Generation doll I got her for $30 at Target! lol If she can take care of this one, then I may get her the real deal.

Glad you had such a good time!

Growing up I had the Molly doll and my sister had Samantha. I "had" to have Molly since we both wore glasses:) gotta love my mom for that logic.

My 4.5 year old has been asking for one for the last few months, I stalled with the line that she needs to be able to read the books in order to enjoy the dolls. Although, now that I see your girls, I think we will ask the grandparents for one for her 5th birthday. I just can't wait anymore!

Thanks for sharing.

I love American Girl. I had Kirsten. :) I never visited a store, though, until I was an adult, but oohed and ahhed just like you did. There's so much cute stuff to look at!

I love having boys. . . but I have to admit that American Girls make me wish I had a daughter. I remember ready the books about Molly (or is it Mollie?) years ago--I was so impressed! And the dolls with their accessories are just brilliant. So smart. And such smart marketing. The AG folks are to be saluted for the way they do things--again, just brilliant!

Oh, how I wish I had girls to go to the American G...

Oh, how I wish I had girls to go to the American Girl store. I guess when my nieces are bigger I'll have to go with them. It must be little girl heaven.

My girls had the dolls growing up, they had just come out with the Bitty Twins and the Girl of Today doll. The store and bistro here opened long after they were playing with them, but we've visited a number of times for my nieces and other little girls in our lives. It is such a neat place. While the dolls are a bit pricey, the quality can't be beat and I love what they stand for. Ours, along with all their accessories are just waiting to be played with by future grandchildren! And, if my hubby has his way...it'll be a long ways off. LOL

I just took my daughter to the Seattle store the day after Christmas. The bistro there books up MONTHS in advance, so be thankful! It's worth making a reservation at the bistro for next time. It was such a sweet treat, good food and fun attention for the girls and the doll. I'm so thankful that I have good garage sales with lots of cheap AG stuff at it so when I walked into the store I was in complete sticker shock! Such a fun trip. Glad you got to enjoy it.

What a fun trip! I love looking through the AG catalog:) I remember thinking they were the coolest dolls when I was little. I love the doll in the bathtub with rollers in her hair....how cute is that!

Now, I seem to remember that Panera is one of your faves, too, so I think the lunch location was a win for all.

Looks like a lot of fun. I was growing up right as American Girls were getting popular. I actually have five of the dolls and their book sets, although one or two are no longer available. I was still getting the catalogs throughout college. If we have a girl, I hope she likes American Girl, because she has a jump start. I'll definitely be all about the store - there's one a few hours from us in Chicago.

Also - I always loved all the home stuff for the dolls. There were canopy beds and wardrobes and kitchen sets. I think my love for decor started earlier than I realized.

We enjoyed this post. My daughter just went there for her first time and she was using your pics to describe her very fun adventure once again. Thanks for sharing!
