I agree- there are plenty of places to rest, and there are elevators and escalators, so you don't need to worry about stairs. We didn't have a Personal Shopper and I really don't know why you would need one. We loved wandering around the store taking it all in at our own pace. Plus we found everyone to be extremely friendly and helpful, so if you do need an extra hand, I think they would be accommodating.

When we went with our daughters (age almost 6 & 8 at the time) we had lunch in the cafe, and LOVED it! It was well worth the money. Even my hubby who is a fairly big eater, got enough to eat. I think we had some fruit, then our sandwiches (the girls ordered little hotdogs and hamburgers- very kid-friendly), then 3 little desserts. It was quite nice. The girls got a huge kick out of the fact that the dolls had their own chairs and plates. We got a window table, and enjoyed the view while we ate. We would definetly do a lunch again if we went back.

About the parking- I don't know how much you want to spend on it (I am a save money where I can so I can spend it when I really want type of person). At first we saw a parking ramp very close to the store, then we noticed it was something like $10 for the first 1/2 hour. I knew money spent on parking would be money not spent on AG stuff. My husband dropped us off at the door, then went and parked the car on the street about 5 blocks away for free. When you consider how much walking you do in the day, tagging on a few more blocks to save some money isn't a big deal.

I hope you have a wonderfully fabulous time. We did!
