BBB questions

Is BBB available every day and how long should it take? We are getting the most expensive package. Plan to go straight to CRT and need time info before I make the reservation. Thanks!

Might want to reconsider that most expensive package. We did the the top package the first year and basic package the second year. I'm not sure what we missed out on except saving $100 (ish). Yes she didn't get the tshirt but the shirt still fit from last year, so no biggy. If you are getting the memory maker then you are paying twice for the photo shoot after by getting the top package. Think about that! You can always change that package so don't let them tell you you can't!

We did a BBB that was running on time and another that was behind over an hour. So it depends on what time of year you are coming and also what time of day. Obviously the later in the day, that longer they are running behind. Also takes a solid hour and up to an hour and half. Maybe two if she is doing the photo shoot and they too have a line. So I would allow for 3 hours to be safe. You will need that much time if they are running behind, time for BBB and time to get to your RESSIE.

We just did the package that came with the hair and nails and brought along our own dress. Because we had memory maker, all the photos were included anyway

Our appointment was at 6:00, and it took at least 20-30 minutes before they were ready for us. Once dd's makeover began it seemed to last around 45 minutes (including paying the bill). We then went to Castle Couture to take photos, which added around 15 minutes. So overall I would estimate the entire thing took around an hour and a half. I remember we had an 8:00 ressie for 1900 PF and after hopping on monorail right after the experience, we arrived just in time.

about 30-45 minutes from the beginning of the makeover. Sometimes things drag out in the afternoon and appointments don't start on time.

If I may make a suggestion; plan a little time between BBB and CRT - say 20-30 minutes. Take some pictures on the carrousel or by the Cinderella fountain or the murals in the castle. She'll be ecstatic.

Is this true of the DTD location as well? I have a basic package reservation for my DD. She has a 9 a.m. location as soon as they open. But we have breakfast reservations at 10:30 in Epcot. I told the CM this when we were booking. They thought it would be fine.

** We are driving not using Disney transportation.

You should be okay, but it will be close. Parking at Epcot could take a while at that time. I would probably pay to valet park at the Beach Club.
