You'll enter through a back alley and immediately be greeted by your very own helper who gives you ideas on what you're looking for. Being extremely last minute (like every year) for my Halloween costume I was a bit worried everything would be picked over. Not to worry, I found a perfect "Summer of Love" 50th Anniversary costume that will bring me back to the 60's and living on Haight Street. It was around $70 for the three pieces (Jacket, undershirt and necklaces) which beats buying cheap, unoriginal costumes on Amazon. Thanks for making the last minute experience a great one:)

My review is only for the balloon shopping experience. I've never bought helium balloons from…read moreanywhere before so I wasn't sure the process. I was looking for birthday balloons for a 12 year old. Their selection is massive! A bit overwhelming for myself who is indecisive. The balloon selections are all blown up and displayed on the wall for you to see and each one has a number. You then tell the staff which number you want and you go pay for the deflated balloons. Then you take them to get inflated. They were not too busy on a Sunday afternoon and estimated it would take 20 minutes. They were ready in under 10. While I waited I browsed through their Halloween decorations and costume selections. The staff was kind and I appreciated their time and patience with me. It was a great experience.

That's fine but you could have had a sign up or made an announcement instead of letting us wait in your long line for nothing. Meanwhile there were three other employees in the store standing around doing nothing and nobody was filling any balloons.

From small devil masks and bloody make-up to full costumes and even those funny 'blow-up' costumes. Jeff ( Geoff?) runs an enthusiastic staff who know what is hot ( new ) each year. Worst case you can call them up before driving over to browse. I would go early, at least 2 weeks before Halloween to ensure the widest selection but I have also dropped in 1 day before to find a small accessory to finish my costume. I suggest going with some clue as to the direction/theme of your outfit or plan to spend an hour just wandering the packed aisles. Have fun!!!

Luckily they had a spot available before her birthday! I booked the Princess and Me Birthday Celebration which includes a Princess of your choice to attend your celebration, a mini makeover, Princess performance, a royal coronation, and a mini cupcake and a pink lemonade. The entire celebration is an hour and is quite pricey. However, I felt like it was totally worth it! Ariel was in character the entire time, got my shy daughter to participate, and she was a good singer. Everyone enjoyed the birthday celebration and even the adults were impressed. I would definitely recommend Fantasy Fables for any kids that love Disney princesses.

A cast mate recommended it when I asked if she knew a good place to find stage makeup. They have a small but solid assortment of both grease and water based paint.

I'll definitely be back the next time I need stage makeup when street make up is inadequate for my needs. They also have an assortment of costumes, magic items and various other things, but I didn't have a chance to check it all out. Cool place.
