Mattel and Mischief Management hosted Barbie Dream Fest in Florida, $250 per ticket, and this is the result. It’s giving the 2024 “Willy’s Chocolate Experience”.
How I felt the Barbie cafe in Houston was 2 years ago. Luckily my little sheltered pandemic toddler loved it bc she rarely got out but I was so annoyed lol

Did they blow their budget on the balloon arches?

I’m shocked they didn’t just host this at one of the many giant faux dream houses on Airbnb or vrbo

America really said that we had to be no.1 for the laughing stock country. We really couldn’t handle the UK outdoing us in ridiculousness 😑

Sad. They probably didn’t have enough pre-sales and blew the budget on the venue.

$250 a ticket?! Where did that money go to?

The space is way, way too big.

It’s like DashCon but in pink.

i’m sure mattel had zero to do with the actual organisation of the event and simply licensed out their logos and trademarked product names. this event looks dire. i doubt mischief management will be given the privilege again

I can’t believe this is a Mattel put on event! Even the celebrities (Angel Reese & Serena Williams for example) made it seem really official and this is just…trash
What is it with these companies putting on subpar events and charging tons of money to attend? We had Willie Wonka, the Bridgerton Ball fiasco, the romance book con that was a literal con, Dashcon, and now this. I feel bad for those paying so much money and getting barely anything in return.
They could have made this a smaller space, thus reducing ticket prices, and instead of just photo space, hire a makeup artist to teach them the basics of colorful makeup. How to use blush, where to put glitter eyeshadow, how to match your lipstick to your outfit. Bring in a female teacher, nurse, or even female farmer or construction worker and have her wear a fun outfit and talk about how she stays true to herself and her interests while working a demanding job.
Give the kids more crafts. I do not see enough ribbon and glitter. I see no bedazzling tools. They need to leave with hands covered in pink paint and a bag so bedazzled they’ll never lose it again.
