BBB Reservations - when you can make these?

[momto2girlsLA]

I know you make your ADR's at 180 days and I will be making those in about a week and a half but when can you make the BBB ones? IS there is a better time of day to do this? We are trying to do 1900 Park Fare on our 1st night and the CRT the next day so I was thinking of making these for the late afternoon of our 1st day. I think they say to plan about an hour for the boutique. We are planning to bring our girls princess dresses from home (they are getting a surprise shopping trip at a Disney store before we go to pick out a new dress just for this) and will most likely just do the package with hair and make-up - any tips or feedback? Oh my girls will be 4 1/2 and 6 at the time of our trip.

You can make the reservations 180 days out just like ADRs. I am not speaking from personal experience as our upcoming trip will be our first time going to BBB, but based on what I read on here, I made the decision for the timing and the lady I spoke with when I made my reservation for dd seemed to feel very good about my plan as well.

I called the number for BBB at 7am after I made my ADRs online at 6am. I want dd to do the photo shoot after her makeover and I'd like to get a picture of her on the carousel afterwards, so I booked BBB 2.5 hours prior to our CRT ADR. She has BBB at 4:00 after our midday resort break and our dinner at CRT is at 6:40pm.

The next morning we have a breakfast ADR at Princess storybook dining at Akershus (Epcot).

ETA: We are also bringing a dress from home. We are doing the hair, makeup and nails package. Have fun.

I called for my appointment 180 days prior! Had the dress shipped from Disney Online to the resort and did the hair, make up and nails package. We scheduled for 9:20am and had the Royal Table for lunch at 11:50.

The make over took around 1 hour and there was a Photopass photographer there taking lots of pictures during it. Then we went to the studio for photos. It was a mini session that took about 15 minutes, but we got great pictures.

I had pre-order the Photopass CD so I just asked for all the pictures be put in the photopass card and I downloaded them when I got home

We just had our 180 day mark on the 31st of March, and made our BBB and Pirate's league reservations on the same day. We had to do PL as well as BBB b/c of the age limit they placed on BBB. How could I deny my 13 year old daughter the right to dress up and be gorgeous at Disney? My kids save their own money for this, so last year the girls bought and brought their own dresses and shoes before we went, and then bought the hair, nails, makeup package. It was lovely. The older girls are doing PL this year and are going to be creative with costumes since they are too old to wear princess dresses since their bodies have changed. We are making tutu costumes for them. They are getting the mermaid package at PL. Hopefully everyone can finish up roughly the same time so we can get the pics done again.
