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

In case anyone is interested in seeing the courtyard hair, here is the video from my daughter's reveal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RR8gS7Privs

Is it sad that I almost cried watching this? My DD4 and I will be there in 2 weeks. Am I that excited for her, or is it just the pregnancy hormones???

I dont think they'll say anything but they were very adamnt to me that if you are getting a service done, each participant must have a pass to the parks. If your DD is under 3, you do not need to buy a park ticket for her. But if she is doing BBB, then she will need her own ticket. So you may want to keep that in mind, could become quite costly when it doesnt need to be.

They don't ask to see the ticket and last I inquirer they do allow kids to come right before their birthday. You can ask when you arrive to be sure but I haven't heard of one turned away that close. Now for me though I wouldn't make the appointment without knowing for sure.

Reading the past few post made me so excited to book this. Never, ever thought to do this!

My DD will turn 3 the last day of our trip. I called today to make a reservation on her birthday (the day we leave). Our flight is not until 8pm. I was so excited to get a MK appt at 11:40am. Perfect timing to eat in the morning, check out of our hotel and get to MK. It will be a surprise. AND she gets to fly home like a princess.

I just informed my husband and told him I booked the appt. I told him I booked the lower package with the nail polish. I told him we could bring a dress. He smiled and said, " you know it's her birthday, we should let her pick out a dress!" I'm so excited!!!

We already have photo pass + so I can't wait to do the photo shoot.

Thanks every one for getting me excited about doing this.

BTW- I don't need to buy a park ticket on her third birthday to get into the park because we booked a package (room, tickets and food plan) because we arrive when she's two.
I've called multiple times and keep getting the same response.

I just saw there are two BBB threads...I posted on other with no response so thought someone here might have some thoughts...

Few questions...

1. What is your experience with a young three? My daughter is two now and will turn three at our next fall visit. She has a decent attention span but is also a bit clingy to mom in unsure environments.

2. Also, she has very fine, somewhat curly (babycurls), thin hair...that falls below her ears...can they do much with this?

3. Do you have options for hair without it being ridiculously tight...with her hair being so thin and fine...I am concerned over it not being comfortable for her...

4. Finally...where can I see images of the available hairstyles...I didn't see them on FAQ page...

My daughter was not quite 3 1/2 her first time. She is a very shy girl but when it came to the BBB was very excited since she couldn't wait to be a princess. Her hair was barely shoulder length and she chose the princess bun style. For a child that cries every time I brush her hair, she sat very still and loved the process. That style though was too tight for her and we ended up going back to have them help take it down about an hour or so later.
This past Sept. she had the pop princess style with all the colors and ended up keeping it in for 2 days (this one sort of twists the hair back into the ponytail). We asked this year if it was possible to have a little looser and our FGIT told us that if it did seem tight that it can be loosened by spraying or putting a little water on the style to loosen the spray up a little.

My daughter first time was in December though she was an "older" three year old (turning 4 in March) she's very shy and doesn't like new people. But there's something about being at Disney that really opens her up.

She also has thin hair but her hair is really long it touched the top of her bottom (she's since had 4 inches taken off). She did the bun and hers was huge (bigger the bun the more hair) she was completely fine with it. It last through three baths and sleepy times without it bothering her. I'm sure they'll be able to work with her shorter hair a my oldest DD always has her hair short and on her first visit she did the bun and it looked great. She did the princess diva this time around with her short hair and it was fine.

Here's a picture of the hairstyles. And my girls after they were done. My oldest DD complained of the Ariel dress being itchy (after trying it on saving it wasn't) so excuse the shirt under it.

Here are the 2 photos of my DD. I have to admit, my favorite is the pop princess with all the colors - it was hers too.

 

[hollygolitely93]

Okay so here's my Dd...I'm thinking we shouldn't do this...not enough hair! Do you guys agree?

She's adorable! I would do one of the other ones instead of the bun. Good luck! I'm sure she'll love it.

Aw...thanks. She's our princess for sure! Is it only the pop princess, bun and the hair piece? I don't think she would like the pop princess...so can they do the hairpiece on a three year old with barely any hair???

Can the just improvise and put a tiara in with a few pins...we would be happy with that and glitter...it is more the experience then it is about the hair for us...

She is a cutie! I am sure they will do something with her hair to make things magical for her. When we took our daughter in 2010 (she was 3) her hair was thin. It was much longer though. But they were able to get it into a nice size bun. But, as I said, her hair is long. The gel helps A LOT!

A few questions:
1. Does anyone know how long I should plan for two crown packages at 8:00am?
2. We also have photopass plus so do we get the image package and does that occur right after? I am confused about this.
3. Will we be out for rope drop at 9:00am? We are hoping to go right to ETWB.
4. We are bringing dresses and shoes. I need to purchase a crown/tiara. How much are they?
Thanks!

Assuming they are doing the girls at the same time, you likely will be done shortly after 9, you'll have two photo sessions.

Don't get the package with the imaging Package (I believe it is the castle). The prints are paper thin and not worth the extra money. you can just add the pics to your photopass. You mentioned getting the crown package anyways so you wouldn't get the imagine package anyways. Just use your photopass + at castle couture for the photo session.

You will probably be done just after 9. I alsways get an 8am appointment and we're done at 9 or just before. But I only have 1 child and 1 photo shoot. so as soon as your done just head to ETWB but it may be a little after 9. Shouldn't be too much of a problem!

Depending on the hairstyle chosen, it may come with a tiara, if not they are 12.50 I think for the small ones you'll see on most girls or up to $20 for the larger princess specific one. You can do that at the boutique.

Maybe those hair extension thingys will work out...well we have a few months before we go...grow hair...grow! HA!

I am having a brain laspe right now. Anyone remember what the curret age range is. 3- 12 is it?

My oldest DD didn't have hardly any hair until after she was two. So when my youngest DD was born I was told to use adult shampoo on her. We did for the first two and a half years of her life and she has gorgeous long hair. Here's a pic of what her hair looked like a week before her 3rd birthday last March. It may not help too much in such a short amount of time but it'll will in throng run.

As a hair dresser I can tell you who ever told you to use adult shampoo to get the hair to grow was making something up. All kids are different. I have 2 daughters, one with EXTREMELY thick hair and the other with very fine hair. Both used baby shampoo as kids.

If I ask, will they either not pull the hair so tight or not gel the crap out of it? She'll be almost 4 when we go and I know she would love the experience but she won't make it an hour with her hair that tight on the top. I'm willing to redo it later but if there's a ton of gel I won't be able to brush it out without washing it first. Someone on another thread recommended getting the mermaid package at PL and the hair in that one is perfect for her but she's princess obsessed and I don't think I could sell her on pirates.
