[ILuvTinkerbelle]

One last question.....we have a 7:15 dinner reservation at the castle....what time should we do BBB in order to be at the dinner by 6:30...we want to request a window seat and hope to get one if we get there early enough.....what time should we do BBB???

Thanks!

I have tried a few times now to book a BBB appointment at the MK location for my daughter on 11/14. Any time would work for us, as long as it is before 4:30pm (we have CRT at 5:25). They are always all booked up.

Do people cancel regularly? Is it worth it to keep calling? Or should I ask our resort concierge to check for us when we get there (we are staying 11/9-11/16) since if people cancel, they might wait until the last minute before they lose their $10 deposit?

I called everyday for a week, sometimes multiple times a day and finally got the day and time we wanted. I would keep trying and if nothing opens up now hopefully your theory of people cancelling closer to the dates you are going works out. I would call first thing in the morning and then again at night hoping people canceled throughout the day I am so glad I did, we only had 2 days we could go so I was very persistent.

I left 2.5 hours in between in case they were busy and we didn't get to start at her appointment time. That way we would have time for her photo session at Castle Couture and maybe some rides before dinner. I wanted to get a photo of her on the carousel because I have seen them and they were so cute, but it was raining. So we had BBB at 4 and CRT at 6:40. We were able to go in on time so we had time for some rides after her photo session. Go ahead and call for your reservation though. The reservations open 180 days out just like dining ones.

How do the pictures work after the makeover session? I know I read that the individual photos are pricey so I was considering getting the prepaid Photopass CD just for the BBB pictures. Do you need an appointment for the pictures or do they just tell you where to go after the makeover session? Are there multiple scenes and poses. We are doing the courtyard package so will my daughter look out of place not being dressed as a princess? Thanks for all the help I can get!!!

No appointment is required for the photo session. I just wanted to do it right after the makeover. We just walked over after she was done at BBB. There was one little girl finishing up. She was in regular clothes so your little girl will be fine. I had a friend who took his two girls and one of them wore a Minnie Mouse dress. Girls wear a variety of things.

I just went through my file and counted and there were 13 or 14 different pictures. He didn't change the background. There were some with her standing, one sitting with the wand she had, more sitting without it, then more sitting with various poses.

I had prepaid for photopass and I don't know what comes in each package, but I did see one package that was more than what I had paid for our CD.

There are also photo pass photographers in the boutique and they get a picture of your daughter when the Fairy God Mother turns her to the mirror. They don't get to see what they look like until the end, so it's pretty cool.

They take some other ones too as the Fairy God Mother in Training shows her differeng things like a close up of the face jewel and the makeup.

Have fun

I can only speak for the MK location. The pictures are taken in the store right across from the castle. I think the name is Castle Couture. You just go over and stand in line. They will take several poses/shots. The girls can have on BBB sash on, off of some of each. They take some poses standing and then have the girls pose on a lounge thingy for more pics. I'd say they took about 20-30 shots in all. Then you get to wait in another line to view and choose your pictures if you bought the package. All of the photos are put on your photo pass or photo pass+ card. It probably took about an hour when we did it in early June. Depends on how busy they are, not everybody goes over. you can also go back and select your pics later if you don't want to wait.

Your DD is beautiful and I am so glad to see her pics. Is your DD's hair natural? My plans are to stretch DDs hair the night before we go. Did you bring your own brush or any products? I know what the deal from Disney says but DD is AA and I want to make sure everyone involved is prepared. We are really picky about what we use in her hair.

Thank you. She has had a texturizer before, but not often. Before the trip, she had an appointment for a shampoo, conditioner and oil treatment. After that it was blow-dried and pressed and flat-ironed so it took some heat to get it like that. I brought a comb and brush as they advise. They used the brush we brought, but opened a new comb to use. They have detangler there, which was similar to what I use at home and brought it up into the bun a little at a time. The hair gel they used is JAM, which I also use at home.

Does anyone have any pictures to share of the Courtyard hairstyle? What do they do with the back? In the all front view pictures I was able to google-it just looks like they twist the sections of hair back into a ponytail and spray some glitter into the twists. Is the back of the hair just left in a ponytail? Do they include any accessories with the Courtyard hairstyle like the mickey barettes or tiaras?? Thanks!

Ok, I'll apologize up front... I'm about to ask one of those do the rules really apply to me? questions. Yes, I’ve become the thing I hate most. I appropriately hang my head in shame, yet ask the question none the less…

We're taking our granddaughter for her first trip to WDW next summer. Her cousin's been telling her about Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, so of course she wants to go. Stupid me, I let slip with a "that sounds fun" to both her and her mother. Today, I went to look up details and saw the age limit. She'll be five weeks short of her third birthday during our trip. How strict are they with the three and up rule?

Ok, I'll apologize up front again... now I'm going to make one of those deluded not our child grandparent statements.

She's very well behaved and mature for her age. She's been to salons with her mother on several occasions for both hair styling and mani/pedis. She sits perfectly still.

Now here’s the "have my cake and eat it too" part. So I'm guessing they don't check birth certificates at the boutique. Do they ask, though? I'd hate to outright lie about her age. I'd really really hate to disappoint her (and lose a deposit) if we're refused service, though.

Also, once she's got the hairdo, costume, and sash, I'm guessing she's not going to want to take them off for anything. Even if we do the DTD BBB, we'll eventually be going back to a park. As a 2 y/o, we won't have a park ticket for her. Will we have problems at the gate with CMs asserting that she must be 3 if she went to BBB? We're also on the dining plan, for which she eats free as a 2 y/o. (I guess I don't mind carrying around a copy of her birth certificate just in case questions like this were to come up, but I'd hate for anything like that to tarnish the experience for DDIL & DGD's first trips.)

Should we just buy her the outfit and make a big deal over a self-performed “princess” beauty session in the hotel room, or am I worrying over nothing and we should go ahead with the BBB?

Has anyone done the knight package at BBB recently? I was wondering if the shield and sword are still the same ?

 

[Gorechick]

Did Knight package about 3 weeks ago, sword and shield are the same.

Awesome thanks. I was on the fence about taking the boys and then saw that they got some cool things
Are they doing the colored gel still? I would prefer not to have that lol

They are, but they asked DS first if he wanted it. I'm sure I could have told her we didn't want it.

Hmm ok. I know they will want it if it is offered and I would never not let them get it They had knight shirts to wear to BBB but we were going to BOG after and have Beauty and the Beast themed tees. Maybe they need to wear those to BBB thanks

Does anyone know if the tinker bell wings purchased at BBB light up like the ones sold at the Disney store? My daughter saw a video of a girl with the light up ones and keeps talking about going to Disney and getting her tinkerbell dress. Its her birthday present so we want her to have the whole experience of getting the dress there for the first time, but I don't want her to be upset if the wings don't light up... She remembers everything!! I will have to suck it up and buy the dress before we head down if they don't light up, I tried calling and the CM told me they "think" they light up but didn't sound too sure.
