The couples massages was AWESOME! Both the massage therapists my husband and I had were amazing! We parked in guest parking and then navigated ourselves through the resort to find the ship shape salon area. It was near the pool and arcade area. When we checked in the first thing that came to mind was BO! The lobby area smelled like armpits, there was a very nice host that checked us in but the once she walked us back things started to go down hill from there. We were told to arrive at 12:30pm for a 1:00pm couple massage appointment. We arrived at 12:15pm just because we didn't know where we were going and wanted to give ourselves extra time to find the area. The front desk walked us back to the hallway of the locker rooms, she quickly rushed us back there and said here is the locker room, there are lockers inside to put your belongings in, oh do you want slippers? She then opened a hall closet and pulled out slides and said just sit in this wait area till its your turn. My husband and I were left in the hallway alone not sure what to do. We went into locker rooms, I put my purse in a locker and changed out of my shoes into the slides. We just assumed that we would get robes in the locker room since she gave us slides to wear. In the past we've had couples massages with robes, slides, shower, etc. given. It was just very odd and uncomfortable for us because the front desk rushed away from us and we were left to fend for ourselves with little explanation about the spa. We then sat in the waiting area for about 40 minuets until it was our turn. Nose up started to go up when when the very nice therapists came to get us. They asked about us, asked what body area they should concentrate on. The therapist were amazing at their jobs, we would come back just for them. Showers, towels, soaps, shampoo, etc were provided which was much needed from having oil rubbed all over us. The showers were brownie points because some places don't have showers and if you are out and about all day you have to be walking around greasy but not at this place. Finally we checked out it was about $245.00 with annual pass holder discount and then we left, we tried to use the pool but were told you had to be a staying guest to use the pool. Which doesn't make any since because we just paid for an expensive service and should be able to at least use the pool area.

couture makeovers came out, I knew I had to have one. I booked it immediately for hair and makeup. I had an early appointment, 9am, but I ended up arriving even earlier at 8:30, and I was taken almost right away. Jessie from Toy Story is my favorite character and my stylist did a wonderful job with my braid and makeup - teasing up my hair and adding false lashes and freckles to make me look like a real doll. She even found and tied red ribbons into my hair to make my character clear in case I decided not to wear my hat (it was a very hot day!). I thanked her for adding the ribbons, saying something like "Without those, people might think I'm Elsa," but I was informed that that would be a totally different braid! That just reinforced for me how professional these artists are and how hard they work to make sure every client feels like the princess they come in to be. At the end I was asked if I wanted "fairy dust" (green glitter) and of course I took her up on that. I received compliments throughout the day and especially when I changed into my costume for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. I was even given extra bobby pins to put my hat in with it and it stayed on during the wildest of rides. I am very happy with the experience and plan to do it again next time.
