Another quick question - tomorrow is my 180 days to book ADRs (staying on site). Can I call tomorrow to book a reservation for later in my week or do I need to call 180 days from the day I want the reservation? TIA.

If staying on site, you should be able to do 180 + 10 but if not, you will need to do each day separately.

Last year when we booked our BBBs it was 180 days from the date I wanted. I don't think it was the case for our Spring trip, however our appointment this year was made by a TA and it's for the day after we check in instead of the last day of our trip. So it could be either 180 from appt. date or 180 +10 from check in, since I didn't do the booking this year I didn't ask.

Thanks for everyone's help. My sister called for me at 7am this morning and we were able to snag an 8 am reservation at the Magic Kingdom location on the last day of our vacation. Now the big question is whether or not we can make a breakfast reservation that day at 9:35 am. Any thoughts?

At CRT? You will be fine. We had an 0800 BBB, did the photoshops, and had ridden two rides by 9:30.

The breakfast is actually at The Crystal Palace. I have CRT booked for dinner that night. Actually went back online and changed the reservation to 10:20 just to be on the safe side. We could always do some early morning rides if there is time to spare.

Does anyone know what the current Ariel dress looks like? We are visiting in March and my dd would like an Ariel dress, not one that looks like a mermaid. Thank you

Does anyone know if there are costumes for the Frozen characters at BBB? I have seen them on the Disney Store. My search on this thread isn't showing anything. Thanks for any information you may have!

On another thread earlier today, someone reported calling the BBB and them saying they currently didn't have any frozen dresses and weren't expecting any until April or May, or even later...

Now, take that last bit with a grain of salt, I'm not sure that the CM's working there always know what the supply chain looks like, so it's possible more could come in at anytime.

However - if you are looking for a frozen dress, I would suggest getting one ahead of time at disneystore.com. They currently have Anna's blue dress, and there are reports that they are getting in a version of the green coronation dress (someone nabbed one at an actual disney store in NYC). The Elsa dress is the holy grail right now, but I would keep checking the disneystore.com website daily - a few weeks ago they had some in for about 48 hours, and then they were sold out again.

JC Penny also has sort of a "mini" disney store inside it. I was at one today. They had Anna's blue dress, but not any Elsa merchandise. Some people have had good luck with Penny's, since not everyone thinks to look there, and the Elsa dresses were supposed to be nice. The Anna one I saw today was a pretty nice one. I like the disneystore one better, but that's just IMO. The Penny's one was also only $36, compared to $50 for the disneystore one.

Isn't is still the shimmery mint green dress? My daughter got it a few years ago--beautiful quality and super comfortable she says. Tulle underskirt with a brocade-like overlay. The bodice part was made partially from the brocade (for the puffed-up short sleeves) and partially from a stretchy jersey type of material, so not scratchy on the chest or back. It was worth the price.

I don't think they carry Ariel's pink ballgown, however.

Thanks. I hope it is that dress. We really like the photos we have seen.

It is very likely a new version of that green dress. They had the same version for years, but it changed when they changed over Ariel's new park gown to this one.

Yes--we have the older style. I just looked at Ariel's new dress design and I have to say I liked the old one better. I think the thicker brocade-like material looked more regal--and as a mom, the mini-version more stability. The new one looks more flimsy with so much tulle and mesh overlays and gossamer-like sleeves. I guess the new sleeve design and skirt is supposed to replicate the style of her pink ballgown, but the seafoam colour is the Parks signature colour for Ariel. I'm sure my Ariel-obsessed daughter will want the new dress when we go in September anyways--especially since it is different than the one she has now--but it doesn't look like it will be as sturdy as the older style!

I am 23 and my mom is 56 could we go get a BBB appointment? I know sounds ridiculous but it seems like something fun for us to do together. Also do they have adult costumes??

Nope, BBB is just for kids. There are a few spa's/salons onsite that the two of you could enjoy. And as far as adult costumes, I don't think so - because I think they sort of frown on adults in realistic-looking costumes (my guess is they're afraid other guests will think you're an employee, or not properly portraying the character).

Not only do they frown on it, if it isn't during MMSSHP, they will ask an adult to leave the park if he/she is in a costume like that.

My youngest daughter will be dressing as Ariel and wants the Disney Diva hairstyle. I know that Disney says it will match your hair color with this, but can she get red if we ask? She wants red hair. I thought the Pop Diva would be okay, but it doesn't come in red. She won't care about the shade of red.

Our FGMIT let DD4 pick her own hairpiece and it was nowhere near her actual hair color...so if they happen to pick for you, just ask to see the other colors.

The child can pick any hair color. My child is blonde and she has done it 3 times. She has picked pink, blonde and red.
