Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique ~ ALL you need to know + Tons of Pix ~ Updated 10/2012

This is going to seem dumb, but if I don't get the top tier package, can I still have photos taken at the BBB studio place? DD has done it twice before - both times with the full on package. This time, she wanted Rapunzel, so I got her dress online and we won't do the full-priced package - just the middle one.

If we can, does anyone know how much it costs? Can I just get the photos added to PhotoPass or do I have to make a purchase? Any advice from those who have done this is appreciated! Thanks!

We've never had the photo package, and never had trouble getting as many photos as we wanted just added to our photopass. I do think that if someone comes in who bought the package, they might get bumped ahead of you in line. But we've never had much of a line.

Our experience in the photo studio has been really hit and miss. They are not experts at posing like people who work in an actual portrait studio. This last time was the first time my daughter had glasses and they did a terrible job taking the shot so the frame of the glasses didn't block her eyes. But sometimes they do great. Just be sure to take some shots out and about the park too, like out in the rose garden and such.

DSis had an appointment in January and she's an adult so the full package wasn't an option. We had no trouble getting the photo shoot and getting the pics added to our PhotoPass. The pics are decent. I probably could have done better but since I ended up really sick that day, I was really glad to have that option.

Thanks for the replies!

Just booked an appt for ODD in January! I think I'm more excited than her. Just nervous her little sister will be jealous. I plan on doing her hair in the morning with some glitter and giving her a dress so hopefully she doesn't feel too left out!

My DS8 was with us when DSis had her appointment. He had his camera and took pics of the whole makeover. It kept him occupied and involved. He'll tell you that he wasn't into princesses but he was very excited to see DSis transformed. the whole atmosphere was magical.

Perhaps you could cast the younger in the role of "lady in waiting" until she's old enough to get the full princess treatment.

I have a niece who, although is only 6, is very tall and bigger built - she wears a size 12/14... how easy is it to get costumes at BBB which will fit her or are we better off just bringing our own dresses for them to wear...

I would bring one, that way you know it fits proper and you get the princess that she wants. They have limited sizes in the bigger stuff.

Sorry if this has already been asked! I have seen in some pics different sashes. One in particular was a 'birthday princess' sash. Do they offer different sashes? Do the different ones cost extra? Could I swap one for the other? We are taking our DD 3 for her birthday soon and I would love to give her a 'birthday princess' sash. Thank you ladies!!!

Just let them know it's her b-day and you would like the birthday sash, but they may ask if you are celebrating something when you come in too.

Does anybody know what the Perfectly Princess Birthday slipper is? Any pics of one? They didn't have this last year when we went, so I just wasn't sure what it was and if it was worth it?

My
DD8 got one when we were there in July for her birthday. It was $25. She loves it! I have pictures if I can figure out how to post them.

what exactly is it?

 

[GoofyMomInOhio]

what exactly is it?

It is a sturdy plastic case with a mirror on the bottom. On the mirror is a glass slipper maybe 4 or 5 inches long. It is wrapped up in a blue bow. Sorry, I'm not good at describing things.

Have our appointment for DD3 and DD8 when we get there in Nov. Can't wait!

DD3 was too young when we were there last Sept. and DD8 decided she didn't want to be a princess but a pirate. Both are excited to get it down this time around, followed by dinner at the Castle for their dad's bday!

Oh it's super cute! We went there last year when DD was 3 and we are going again in November too!

Hi all I'm looking at letting my 8 year old do this next year looking at the castle package and have a few questions

1. Is the package worth the price?
2. How long does it last?
3. How many photos do I get?
4. Do I have to bring my own dress or does she get one there?
5. Is it possible to go for dinner in the castle after?


Thanks all

I googled the Perfectly Princess Birthday Slipper and found a picture. It looks really nice, but does it serve a purpose or is it for decoration? We have an appt on Monday morning and I could surprise DD with it.

 

[sher92]

I think it's really just a keepsake and decoration! I did end up ordering it...figured it was only $25 and we are going for her birthday, so I'm sure she'll love to have it in her room!

Do you have to preorder this? I'd like to get this but I figured I'd pick it up while we're there. Thanks!
