The American Girl Place at Tysons Corner! Part One!

My mom and I got back from the American Girl Place at Tysons Corner today!! This is their Grand Opening Weekend! We woke up very early today at 6:00. We arrived at around 7:30, so we had to wait about an hour and a half to get in. We had to get tickets and we got into group two. It was pretty crowded when we got there, but not nearly as crowded as I expected. Later, a HUGE crowd was waiting outside when my mom and I left, so I am so glad we got there early. LOL I took many pictures... and I mean... MANY :) Therefore, there will be three separate posts about this trip.

The front of the BEAUTIFUL store!

American Girl!!!

This is the display at the front of the store inside the mall.

While I was waiting in line, I saw two cute little displays. :)

Julie and Ivy

Kit and Ruthie

Then at last 9:00 came, which meant the doors were opening!!! :D YAY!! I saw Ellen Brothers, the American Girl president!! It was really cool to see her!

Then we got into the store on the second floor!! I was so excited!! :D The Historical dolls, mini dolls, movies, Bistro, Sweet Shop, some souvenirs, the craft event, bookstore, and some Kanani items were on the first floor. There was a craft event where you colored in these little friendship books. I did not get a good picture of the Bistro and I was not able to get a picture of the Sweet Shop because it was so crowded. I will be sure to take photos of those places when I go again later this summer though. I, however, still took many other pictures! :)

Kanani

Everyone seemed to be especially crowded around Kanani. ;) After all, she is a very gorgeous doll!

My Review of Kanani and AG Outfits!

Hi everybody!

Since Kanani and a bunch of outfits just came out, I decided to do my own review about them! I recently received my catalog, so here are some pictures! :)

Kanani is so beautiful! :) I love her hair!

The Snow cone maker is adorable, especially the pineapple!! I love that outfit as well, I might get it!

Cute pajamas! I'd like to get those! The chair is nice too!

Her accessories are all so neat! I hope to get some of her accessories.

Pretty Hawaiian Outfit! It's so cool!

I think this dress for Kit is gorgeous!!!

I LOVE this outfit! This is definitely an outfit I plan to buy! It's my favorite new item from AG! :)

I probably won't be getting Kanani, but I might. I'm not quite sure yet. I will be going to the American Girl place this summer at Tysons Corner when it opens though! I may get an AG doll there! :) I will have to look at Kanani and her things up close and decide for sure.

What is your favorite new thing from American Girl? What do you think of Kanani? Did you buy Kanani yet or are you planning to buy her?
