When is it too late to order tickets?

My daughter is a model in the fashion show. Do I need a ticket for her? Do I need a ticket for me?
You do not need to purchase a ticket for your daughter who is appearing in the fashion show.  You do need a ticket for yourself and any other guests that will be attending the show.  A ticket is required for everyone except for show models.

What are the seating arrangements at the show?
All seats are reserved and you will receive your table number at registration on the day of the show. Most of the tables are rounds of ten (10) with some able to accommodate twelve (12). Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Can you accommodate a party larger than 10 people?
Most of the tables are rounds of ten (10) with some able to accommodate twelve (12). If you have a party of 12, it may be possible to seat you at one table, depending on how many other large parties are requesting the same show. If your party size is larger than 10-12, it will be split among two or more tables (depending on the size of your party), and we will do our best to have the tables near each other.

Can groups of friends be seated together?
Parties who wish to be seated together MUST order tickets on the same order form. If you cannot order on the same form, you may note seating requests when placing your order, but we will consider only mutual requests and cannot make any guarantees.

Fashion Show Information

Do the girls attending the show dress up and bring their dolls?
Absolutely! Every girl is encouraged to bring their favorite American Girl doll and dress up to her heart's desire. Girls can bring their dolls to the fashion show Doll Hair Salon for a fabulous new hairstyle and enjoy the show together. Girls can also pre-order the fashion show exclusive treat seat just for their dolls (note: there may be space limitations on use of the treat seat during the actual fashion show).

How long is the fashion show?
The fashion show is approximately 2 hours long, including a 20 minute intermission which features our Guest Models.

Why is the show recommended for children 6 and up?
This recommendation is from American Girl Programs. For the maximum enjoyment of the audience, infants and toddlers will not be admitted. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Will a meal be served at the show?
Yes, a meal is included in the ticket price and is a sit-down luncheon.  This year's selection for adults is a chicken salad croissant sandwich with potato salad. For children, the meal selection is chicken fingers with french fries.  All meals come with fresh fruit, beverages (water, iced tea, and lemonade), and a dessert.

Is there wheelchair access at The Desmond Hotel?
Yes, The Desmond is wheelchair accessible. The ballroom where the fashion show is held is on the ground floor and does not require the use of an elevator.

Will souvenirs and merchandise be available to purchase at the fashion show?
Yes! A limited quantity of American Girl Fashion Show exclusive souvenirs will be available at the show. If you are interested in these exclusive souvenirs, please pre-order them with your ticket reservations to guarantee availability (CLICK HERE to see pre-ordered souvenirs). At the show, other souvenirs and merchandise will be available to purchase.

Guest Model Experiences

Guest models are different from show models. Guest modeling is a wonderful opportunity for a child attending the fashion show to participate in a mini fashion show during intermission. Guest models may bring their favorite American Girl doll and dress as they like - matching outfits to dolls or not.

The Celebrity Hostess will introduce each guest model and state a few interesting facts about her as she walks the runway during intermission. There are limited Guest Model Experiences available for each show and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The Guest Model Experience is $40 and includes an exclusive fashion show gift!
