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

[Mil leech]

So my DH and I are taking my DD3 to DW for MNSSHP in October. I know this is a polarizing subject, but I have reservations I may not use. I have reservations for not only pirates league (earlier in the trip) but BBB the afternoon of our MNSSHP tickets. My daughter is not huge into princesses but likes Jake and the neverland pirates. She is really over the moon about Doc Mcstuffins. I made the reservations at the 180 day mark as I know BBB is especially hard to get into at MK and a 3 year old can change their passions with the seasons so I wanted to make sure she got in if she did want to do it. I called the reservation line and they stated that as long as we showed up they would not charge us the $10 fee as they would never make a child do something they wouldn't want to do. Has anyone been unsure of their BBB or PL reservations? Have you gotten there and the child loved it? Is she a little young? I have seen all the glowing reviews but not many of people who backed out or weren't sure. I hope she gets there and is excited, but now I'm no so sure.

Thank you for your help!

I have two girls, now 7 and 3.5, and they both did BBB just after they turned 3. I was pretty sure my first one would love it, as she is a princess to the core. I was surprised when she picked the pink hair thing, but she ate the whole thing up!

My second one is definitely not as princess-y, but I didn't want her to be left out if she wanted to do it. She definitely wanted to, looked so serious the whole time, and I wasn't sure if she was really liking it- but then we got outside, and she just looked up at me with this big smile, and I was so glad I have her the chance to decide.

They definitely don't pressure you, they were so sweet the whole time. I say go and see what your daughter thinks.have fun!

My friend and I joked that, since she definitely can't afford this for her girls, "Aunt Amy" (that's me) will act as fairy godmother. That said fairy godmother is a cosmetologist, as well as a craft-y person with too much time on her hands, doesn't hurt!

It's surreal to watch all the kids come out of the castle all sparkly. My 8 year old really wants to have this experience but then she would want to go swimming upon our return to the hotel. This would of course make the pool all glittery.

Here's our experience. Our last trip my DD was 4, it was her first trip to WDW. My DD has Aspergers (high functioning autism). Between the time that I made the appt. and our trip she started having some major sensory issues when having her hair brushed. I didn't cancel the appt. because sometimes she lets others help her when it would have meant a fit for me. Our appt. was at DTD on our arrival day in the early evening because I wasn't sure what time we would arrive at Disney (we drive). Well, we got there much earlier than expected and took to to see the BBB to help prepare her and get her excited. We explained why we wanted to look around and they said that they could take us right then if we wanted. Yay! so I thought. Hubby went to the van to get DD's dress and when I took her into the dressing room she had a major meltdown. As hubby took her out and tried to console her I apologized and asked if it was possible to try again at our reg. appt. time if we thought she could handle it. They said yes, and told us that if not, don't worry. They would mark that we had showed up and not charge us. BTW - after a nap, and now knowing what was coming (World of Disney was just too much for her right then) she did great! No problems with letting them do her hair at all and she wore that bun for 3 days!
I'd keep the appt. She may love it or not be ready, but you never know unless you try.

Does the boutique apply the 180+10 day rule to make a reservation if you are staying onsite?

Does anyone know if you can still go across & get the photos taken & added onto the photopass cd for no extra cost w/ the lesser packages like the crown package? We did this several years ago & the girls had a blast! Sorry if I this has been asked & answered. I went back a few months in this thread, but am hoping for up-to-date info. TIA!

So just called to book bbb and it is completely sold out everyday,every time slot for our week. Besides calling everyday for a cancellation, what other mommy-daughter activities are there?
Btw, we did the tea at GF and was not impressed.
Thanks!

We have been trying for months to get in to BBB too, to no avail. I'm just hoping we'll somehow get a walk-in while we're there. :-(

1 How much time should I allow? I have 2 princesses.....will they be styled at the same time or one after the other?

2. Do all the girls wear princess gowns.....we have plenty of gowns but not sure I want to haul them in hot months. We have several cute princess character dresses....do any of the little girls do this?

3. Is there a picture of the tee shirt/tutu that is described in one of the packages?
