My daughter received this game for Christmas and although the concept is very cute and the game is easy enough to play, it can be very frustrating. The gowns are made of rubber and tear very easily. It can also be very difficult for a child to dress and undress the princesses. The other accessories are also made of rubber and don't stay in place, so you're constantly replacing them when they fall off. We now play the game with the princesses already dressed and play for the accessories only. This works out better as the princesses remain standing when fully dressed as opposed to using the plastic stand, which tends to fall off when the princesses are moved. Nonetheless my daughter loves this game and it's one of her favorites to play, but personally I don't think that it's worth the money.

We bought this game yesterday for our daughter. The dolls are very difficult for her to dress. We have to do it for her. Also, two of the dresses have torn already after playing the game only about 4 times. She loves the game and the princesses, and it does teach memory, but it could be made much better.

Twice I gave this board game as a gift this holiday season, and my own 5-year-old daughter received it as a gift. While the idea of the game seems good, there seems to be some misleading print on the box. It indicates that the prinesses will be getting ready to meet Prince Charming at the ball, but there is no Prince Charming included in the game pieces--much to the dismay of my daughter! My biggest complaint about this game, however, is with the gowns and accessories the princesses wear as they move about the board. The straps of the dresses are very thin, and my daughter has broken three of the four gowns. She has also broken two crowns and the strap on one purse. My daughter plays with the rubber Polly Pocket things as well, and she has not torn/ripped any of those items, which makes me think the Crowns and Gowns items aren't made as strongly.

My daughter who is about to turn 4 loves this game. She wants to play it constantly. So it's good for their entertainment value but bad for yours. The dresses are hard to get on the dolls and they rip and tear very easily. It takes as long to set the game up as it does to take it. There are also some sketchy directions such as rolling the dice but not having to go as far as the die say but you can't go over that numbers i.e. you roll a 4 but you only want to go 3 spaces then that's allowed. That's confusing when you're trying to teach your kids their numbers and how many spaces to go but otherwise you'd be rolling the dice forever trying to get to the one spot you're trying to reach.

I personally have read the other reviews on this game and quite honestly do not agree. It's not a "typical" board game to some extent, there are a few more rules, however, neither myself or my daughter (4 years) had much trouble with it at all. It is not an educational game, but does everything have to be? It's just for fun! My daughter loves to pick her 3 "gifts"which consist of jewels, gowns, etc.. to put in the spinner ( which does fly off when she gets too excited but no big deal, although I think Disney could have secured it better) Having to wait for a piece to come to your "ray of light" teaches patience, sometimes you have to trade with other players to get pieces you need, great sharing and compromising skills. We found this game fun, not overly complicated and yet not too simplistic either, who wants something that has no challenge to it at all? My daughter has had this since she was 4 and still loves it at 5!

This game didn't last through one time playing. The rubber clothes tore, the cardboard parts didn't work as they should have. Don't waste your money.

AGGGH! This toy is too hard to set up- I am sure my 4 year old will not want to take the time to set up the board each time. The board is visually attractive and colorful. The little princesses are cute. BUT the dresses are terrible to put on and off! My little girl could not do it herself! We were playing and she finally said, let's just put away the cards and just add the little things to the princess. I would not give this to anyone.

Ugh I was so disappointed with this game. The dresses are impossible to put on, and the sleeves ripped. The dolls were tiny and the stands to hold them flimsy. The actual game play is all right, suitable for a three year old but the set up is a pain. This is worth about half the price of what we actually payed for. I'm very disappointed with Disney for this one.

I bought this game for my then 3 and a half year old daughter who's completely into Disney Princesses and dressup. She loved it, loved it, loved it... until she tried to play with it.

The game itself is easy to play, and the board is visually attractive, but the dolls and dresses are very badly made. The very first time she took the Belle figure out of the package, the arm fell off. It just fell off. The doll arm is the thickness of a really robust toothpick.

Naturally, it makes us both a little apprehensive to actually play the game, because we're afraid another arm will fall off between the dressing and undressing. The cardboard dressing room and board pieces are actually much more durable than the actual made-to-be-manipulated plastic ones. The crowns and gowns in particular are poorly designed, badly fitted, and are either impossible to put on or take off.

On the other hand, my daughter still likes playing with the dolls outside the game, just dancing them around. So it's not a total wash. But for the price you pay, I would have thought Disney had more care for its brand name than to attach their label to a shoddily-made game.

The concept is great. What little girl wouldn't want to play a game where the goal is to have her dress her princess for the ball. However, the game pieces are horribly made. Two of the dresses have already torn (after only playing with it twice); the crowns don't fit/stay on their heads; and the purse and flowers fall off. This makes for a very frustrated little girl. In addition, the game rules are confusing and the cards are too big for the layout of the board - they get knocked out of place over and over. AND the set up/take down is a nightmare. I am afraid the game is a loss. We will keep the dolls and dresses for maybe another week until they are all torn or lost and then throw the whole thing away. A BIG waste of money and not recommended at all. ~Rebecca
