Do not take pre-pubescent girls to this store. It will empty your wallet and severely stress all to the plastic that you carry.
We're walking around downtown Chicago and the Debbie and Edon wanted to go into the American Girl store. I thought the place was freaky. Little girls were smiling and giggling and Mom's and Dad's just shaking there heads. Watching them exit the store with their little girl carrying her new doll, wearing the same outfit that the doll had on and with the same hair color and the same hairstyle. Believe this did not happen by chance.
You go in and pick out your doll. The girl of the year this year is Mila. She is an active girl, meaning you have to buy her roller blades, soccer outfit and golf clubs. Her motto is play with passion, win or lose with dignity.
So you buy the doll, $100, buy her outfit, and one for your daughter, her accessories. Chose her hair color, then take her and her doll to the beauty salon and get matching do's.
Then everyone goes to the dining room for lunch. The waiter, then seats you and gets highchairs for the dolls. It really was funny to see them exit down the escalator, 3 floors to this store, with the little girls glowing and the Mom and Dad shaking their heads. I thought about David and Tara and their beautiful little girls. Beware, be warned, be quick to pass it up.

that store sounds so cute!! Maybe when Ella is older and we have some more $$$
I'm not sure what scares me more, this or the cult of the Disney Princesses.
How fun!! Sounds like your visit was awesome!
