  5. Amy

    Darn, I did not get one. We are planning my daughters 6th birthday party here. Anyone have suggestions for having a party here? Also typically how many people show up to a birthday party? The parties my kids go to had the entire class of 25 invited and 7-8 show up. Is that typical for a turn out? Thank you for any info.

    • Lisa

      Wait for a buy one get one free deal, then buy a variety of the cheapest $12 ones, there’s several shades of brown bears and puppy and then it would be $6/kid! You can buy them unstuffed then bring your receipt on the day to fill them. 😁

      • Reyna R

        Great idea! I didn’t know we could do that.

    • Angelina

      Buy gift cards from sams club or Costco. I think they are about $85 for a $100 gift card.

      • Amy

        Can you use gift cards to pay for the birthday party?

        • Valerie

          Yes. Just did this last month. Have to pay for the booking online with a credit card, but the rest can be paid for by gift card.

  6. Karen

    If anyone is not using theirs, I’d love 1 for my daughter who’s gonna have her 4th birthday! Phoenix510bratz@aol.com thanks so much in advance! 😊

    Got one and took my 2 year old today. 😁 She loves her new bunny.

    • 3v3y

      How much was it after the coupon? Wondering if it’s worth the 15 minute drive to Downtown Disney.
      Thanks!

      • sla1981

        Unfortunately my store didn’t have a $12 one so we got a $16 one so it cost us just under $5 with tax.

      • Lo

        15mins? Man I’d love that. Mines an hour away.

        • sla1981

          We drove 30 mins to get ours today! I think it was worth it, but it was also a cold rainy day today.
