Parties are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis. The suggested time to book a party is 4-6 weeks in advance. You are always welcome to submit a last-minute request, but due to high demand, it is better if you contact us in advance to secure your party.
Can I request my performer?
A Client’s performer request is based on availability of performers and is NEVER guaranteed or promised. Character performers may vary from those in promotional pictures. We can guarantee that all performers are professional and will give your child a magical experience.
How do I pick the order of activities?
Our performers are trained to read the room and follow the flow of your event. Please never hesitate to ask if you'd like something special! For example If you'd like to make sure our character is there to open presents with your little one, or you want them to sing a certain song again, let them know.
Do I need to provide anything to the performer?
Our performers bring everything they will need for your event. The most they may ask for is some water to stay hydrated!

How far do you travel?
Travel up to 30 miles roundtrip from zip code 31088 to your event is included as part of our service. It is $1/mile for each additional mile. If a party is too far out of our service area (Middle GA) for us to travel we will try to recommend you to a closer character company to fulfill your request.
When should I have the character/s arrive to my event?
We generally recommend about 30 minutes after the scheduled start of your event so the character(s) isn't arriving at the same time as your guests, so everyone can enjoy the magic.
