Are Mrs. B's costumes Disneyworld/Disneyland costumes or are they from some other store? I'm interested in the costumes from WDW/Disneyland.

They are the WDW dresses/costumes.

I have a couple questions about the BBB....

I'm having both dd's do the crown package, and I know they have different "looks" that they can do, such as the classic princess, diva, etc.

I'm planning on having both dd's do the classic princess look, so can I just request that beforehand, and not even give dd's the choice.

Not saying the others aren't nice, but I don't like the look of the hair extensions, etc in the other looks.... I want them to just style the hair that is on my dd's heads, lol, and put the crown on.

Even with the princess look though, it seems as if they're given a choice with hair extension, colors of them, etc... I want them to just style the hair that is on my dd's heads, lol, and put the crown on.

Would I just need to tell the FGIT up-front what I would like?

Also has anyone ever done the hair-do with a crown brought from home? I have a couple nice crowns that I was thinking I'd rather dd's wear than the ones they offer there, but have never seen a picture other than with the small ones right above the ponytail.

Thanks!
Michelle

Hi there...beautiful pics from everyone.

Question, my daughter has a bob (short) haircut. Pretty much, right below her ears. Do you guys believe that will be a problem?? Or has anyone ever seen a girl with short hair get her hair done?? Is it even worth it?? Or should I just go to the barber shop and get some gel and sparkles??

THANKS..

How much do the crowns cost???

I was debating bringing my own, but I only have plastic ones which are the characters & are very big for DD.

Also, am I crazy for not scheduling her BBB appt until 5:00PM? I don't want to do an early appt b/c we always take a swim break everyday b/c of the HEAT! So, I figured we'd do the 5:00PM appt at MK, dinner is 6:30 at Ohana, & then MK is open until midnight & it is our last night of our vacation. Do you think I'm getting my money's worth for the 6 hours she will be done up?

I asked this question on the other thread but I guess no one knew
Can someone tell me their experience with BBB and African American hair??
MY DD (4) will most likely have braids(single) just barely touching her shoulders..when we go because it will be easier to manage her hair with the swimming and sweating... I am thinking that maybe they can still do the bun because she will have single braids??

also if I got her the smallest package can I just add the photo package on? will be brining her dress with us

I am new here, can I please have Mrs. B's contact info as well. Thanks so much!

There are some experiences with AA hair on the BBB FAQ thread.

Just to let you guys know...I received my 3 princess wedding dress from Mrs. B. today. While is it is beautiful it is the dress with the tiny arm holes! I had to cut the seam in the bottom. My DD also complained that it is extremely itchy. I must admit, just feeling it...it is very itchy!!! I can't say I recommend this dress...at all!

 

[Tanzanite]

Hi my daughter got the dress at Bibbitty boo she never said it was itchy so sorry about the arms .I had read they had taken them and fixed the arms.My daughter wore it for about 2 hrs just lunch and pictures as it was so hot .Ibrought it big as i like them long they had to put bands on the shoulders but she probably wont wear it again.Could you put a top under it ? so sorry thats dissapointing.

Hey you guys! I've been gone for the past couple of weeks to WDW. Yay! We had so much fun. I just didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. I came home to a full mailbox asking about Beverly's information. Before I left some of you told me you were having some troubles with delivery and do forth. (Excuses being made for dealyed packages) Not sure what's up w/ that. I've had delays myself but always got my stuff sooner or later. I don't know Beverly personally. I met her through ebay and that's it. I don't have time to answer all the PM's and emails so here is what you all need to do. Go to ebay and search wantsnneeds4u. That is her ebay ID. Sometimes she has dresses listed, sometimes not. I always asked for my things via email and dealt through paypal, not ebay. You can try and do the same. I hope everyone is doing well.

We did try out the BBB inside the castle this time (I was very disappointed I must say). I thought for sure it'd be better than DTD but I was WRONG! It was our last time. It's just not magical anymore. The FGIT's seemed bored and never smiled (they were always upbeat and friendly over at DTD) The kids didn't seem to have a good time either. I saw at least three kids ask to remove their "hair" and "crowns" before they ever stepped down from the chairs. I don't know if DTD has changed or not but I do not recommend the BBB at the MK. More on this later onceI get settled down from my trip.

Hi Tammy, You're home! I was thinking you must be in WDW, you lucky girl! I'm sad to hear of your BBB experience. The MK location is what I booked for our upcoming trip. If it's that bad, maybe I have time to switch to DTD. We had a magical experience there. I can't wait to hear all about your adventures.

That's terrible... when we go in April this will be our first time trying the BBB and I would be upset if FGMITs acted like that. We were also thinking about the one at MK but maybe we will do the one at DTD.

And by the way, I went over to the Disney store last night and saw all the dresses. My DD5 wanted to be Ariel this year so we picked that up and it is really cute. I saw the Giselle wedding dress and it reminded me of my dress I had for my Barbie dolls when I was younger. I also saw the deluxe Belle and Cinderella and they were beautiful. If they weren't so expensive I would have gotten one. (I still might, just won't tell DH )

I also saw Peter Pan and Captain Hook's costumes and tried convincing DS3 to be captain hook but he is set on spiderman. I still may go over and buy it and save it for our trip later.

And as an extra incentive the Disney Store is giving $25 gift cards to be used btwn 9/28 -10/7 for every $50 you spend.

Yes I did that as well, we have the card to go back next week to get the Ariel dress and the Minnie...

I did not have any problems with Mrs. B. It took her 2 days to answer my email about the dresses I wanted, 2 days for her to send me a bill and they arrived within 3 days. They are beautiful. They were individually wrapped in tissue paper and then gently put in priority boxes. I have a feeling that she is inundated with requests from all of the people on the dis board. I know that's how I found her. I think she may be in over her head with requests...so, just wait and keep emailing her.
I think I will change my BBB appointment to DTD if it is going to be a bad experience. I was so looking forward to this. Was your appointment early in the day or later? Maybe they are friendlier in the am....I hope. Oh well.
And yes, I had bought the white 3 princess wedding dress for my DGD and the sleeves are very tight. I cut them and put elastic in them. It is itchier than the other dresses, so I will have to figure something out. But DGD is 3 and loves the dress so much she didn't want to take it off.....and as hot as it has been, she wore the long sleeved Belle Christmas dress all day and to dinner at night. I thought it was itchy, but she didn't complain.
We leave in 2 days and I cannot wait.
I bought the shoes from the Disney Store/Disney.com for each dress. DGD wears a toddler size 7. The 7/8 shoes for Snow White and Minnie Mouse did not fit. I couldn't get her tiny skinny foot in them. The 9/10 was huge. The gold deluxe Belle heels fit her well as did the Cinderella clear shoe with the light up heel. It looks just like a glass slipper. I was so disappointed. The open toe blue lace Cinderella shoe in a 7 is too big. The crowns all just slid down her face.
Well, I hope you all hear from Mrs. B. She is great to work with.

My daughter has short hair (to her chin) and she chose the fairytale princess style (the one in the bun). They were able to take part of hair and put it up in the bun and they left some of it down in the back. Here's a picture:

She has very fine hair and the bun lasted for the day but was coming out by the evening. My other daughter also has chin length hair but her hair is not as fine. She also chose the fairytale princess style and her bun stayed all day and even into the next day.

Welcome home! I'm sorry to hear that your experience at the castle wasn't what you'd hoped. We went to the castle last year and it was wonderful, so I'm guessing maybe a bad day for someone? As for kids wanting their hair out - all kids are different that way, so I wouldn't put that on the FGIT'ing.

 

[CharacterFan]

I'm wondering, my hair is about 15 inches long, no layers, and I want to get the bun hairstyle. Is it too long? I don't want a bun so large it looks like I came from the 1980s. thanks

They put your hair in many little rubberbands and then tuck that hair under - so I think they can control how big the bun is. If you have curly hair - it would look but to leave some girl hair out under the bun. LOL about the 80's!
