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

How long is the average time spent at BBB? Meaning wait time and service? My dd has a 2pm appt at DTD and I've been desperately searching for a princess dinner afterwards. (Long story short, we had Akershus ADRs and cancelled but turned out we could have used them after a miscommunication while planing for family of 10 )

I've finally snagged a 4:30 ADR at 1900 Park and Fare...is that feasible or am I kidding myself? If I arrive at BBB for 1:30pm, how long would you expect I would wait for her to start the service? And how long does the service last? I think I read about 30 minutes, I'm more worried about he wait.

TIA

I think on average it's about 30 minutes. With my two girls we are generally in there about 45 minutes. If I remember correctly they won't let you check in until 15 minutes before your appointment. Or that's what I've been told all 5 times we've done it. You may get a CM that'll let you check in earlier. But I think you'll have time to make it over to GF for your ressie

What's the wait usually like at DTD? What time should our 2pm appt start?

I think a lot of depends on whether they are running on time that day. I would definitely let them know your time constraints when you arrive. I would also not rely on Disney transportation. If you won't have a car, be prepared to spring for a taxi.

We've only done it once at DTD and that was last June. They were incredibly busy that day and were behind. We didn't get back until 30 minutes after our appointment. But I agree don't rely on Disney transport to get you back in time you are on a time crunch.

 

[carolann210]

Thanks y'all! I will let them know at check in about time constraints and if we aren't out by 4pm, I'll call for a cab. Is that enough time for 4:30 ADR at 1900PF?

Does anyone know if they currently have Elsa dresses at BBB in MK? I know they had it for the holidays and I am hoping they kept it since she is soooo popular.

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.

They have red diva! Just ask for red hair like Ariel!

As a former BBB CM please let them know about your reservation when you check in! The other commenters are correct that sometimes the boutique runs behind during the middle of the day.

The transformation should take at least 30 minutes but if you are doing costumes and pictures plan for up to an hour.

I noticed the first page of this post has tons of info, but it's from 2008. Is 180 days out still the time you can make a reservation?

I thought I read on allears.net it is 60 days out.
I just don't want to miss my window, you know?

Also if it is 180 days how do you manage to get BBB and CRT the same day? Just call first thing and try to get the time you want for CRT and then hope to get BBB beforehand? It seems so stressful!

Yes it is 180 days out, and you can do 180 + 10 if staying onsite. We did our CRT online at 6 AM and then called when the phones opened at 7 AM for BBB.

Can we change the costume we choose when making the reservation. My DD is very sensitive to fabics and I worry she will freak if the costume is itchy. I am taking a t-shirt and capri pants for her to wear underneath to minimize the possibility...just don't want to be stuck with a costume she doesn't want.

In 2010 when making a reservation, you just had to specifiy what package you wanted i.e. Crown or Castle. DD didn't have to pick a costume or hairstyle until the actual appt. Has that changed?

 

[Fsudisney]

I made my appointment this morning and they only asked which package I was getting , not the hairstyle.

They will simply ask you for which package you would like. The godmothers are also used to a princess trying on many costumes to see which is the least itchy, so try on as many as you need! In my experience Tiana and Belle are on the least itchy side.

Also, you can change your package when you arrive if you need to as well. If all of the princess dresses are too itchy I recommend the courtyard package which has a soft tutu and a soft t-shirt that says "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique"

Does anyone have any recent pics of their little princess in the current Belle dress from the Parks?

 

[Avonlady1001]

I'm sure this has already been asked, but I went back a few months worth of posts & didn't find it.

Does the BBB location in DTD have a photoshoot type studio like in MK?
Does the MK location still have this?
If so, are the pics taken in the "photoshoot" able to be added to the Memory Maker/Photopass like they used to be? Last time we did BBB was 2011.

Thanks!

 

[disneyshea]

Does anyone know if you can just purchase the T-shirt seperate from the package. My daughter has a ton of tutus so I really just want to do the crown package and purchase the shirt as a keepsake. TIA

Yes, you can still do the photo shoot at Castle Couture in MK or in the Photopass "booth" at DTD. They can me added to MM.

Been a bit since you posted but figured I'd let everyone know how we schedule this. We get BBB at 8 am and then CRT between 10 and 1030. We are done at BBB by 830, head over to Castle Couture(sp?) for photo shoot pics on photo pass and we are done with that before rope drop. Since you're already at the castle you're ahead of all the other rope droppers. Last time we did Enchanted Tales with Belle, Ariel ride and meet and greet and walked new fantasyland before our breakfast. It's an amazing plan that we did on accident the first time haha. Now we plan it like that every trip!!!
