Disney to offer Princess dolls with children’s faces in new D-Tech Me experience

Starting Aug. 26, 2012, Walt Disney World will begin offering children a chance to have their personal seven-inch figurine of their favorite Disney princess, but with their face. The process is very similar to the Carbon Freeze Me experience that debuted a few months ago at Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
According to the Disney Parks Blog, the Disney Princess D-Tech Me experience will be offered at the World of Disney in Downtown Disney Marketplace for a limited time. The experience is only available for guests ages 3 to 12.
The whole process will take about 10 minutes while several cameras will instantly capture multiple angles of a guest’s face which are reconstructed in a computer for processing. Children can then choose one of seven different Disney Princesses including Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White and Tiana.
Hair, skin and eye color of the figurine will be customized to match the guest. A Princess silver link necklace with choice of colored gem charm will also be included.
The cost per figurine is $99.95 plus $15.95 shipping. Canadian and International shipping begins at $75.00. Additional replica seven-inch figurines are $74.95 each or $39.95 for a three-inch replica. The figure will then be shipped directly to the guest’s home within five to six weeks.
Reservations are strongly recommended and can be made by calling 407-WDW-TECH. Click here to visit the Disney Parks Blog for more information.

Sounds wonderful but wondering why it is limited to those 12and under. My daughter has autism and loves doing things like this. I sure hope they wouldn’t prevent our “mentally young” from particpating.

I had the chance to see a prototype of Disney’s Research Lab in Zurich some weeks ago, it’s not the final product but you can already see how fantastic they will be:

What a ripoff for shipping to Canadians. I always end up using UPS myself because it’s less than half the price Disney charge for on-property shipping. They charge the same than delivery to Japan or Europe! It is cheaper to ship to a CDN than to anywhere else internationally. But otherwise this is really cool, and I will definitely have my Goddaughter done as Belle
