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

Lauren puts her cape on her and goes to town. Now Claire will scream and cry at home when I brush her hair, even when I barely touch it, but she sat quiet and still for Lauren. LOL!

 

[jenseib]

She is just loving all the attention

Gotta test and see if those nails are still wet. LOL!

And there she goes….Starting the “bubble” process,

 

[jenseib]

Now the finishing process has begun

And a sprinkling of pixie dust! Look at that pink ball of cotton candy on her head! LOL!

And then the crown is placed.

Ready for the big Reveal. I had her pull some hair forward. Usually they put a couple of strands in the clips coming forward, at least in the pictures I’ve seen, but she didn’t. So I had her just pull some forward to make it look like that.

Now close your eyes.

And then because I am a big IDIOT I leave my camera on autofocus and take really nice pictures of the back of her head, instead of focusing on the mirror. Thanks goodness the photopass pictures came out great. (again, can’t wait to get them!)

So these “reveal” pictures pretty much suck…..Sorry! She does love her look though….

Hi All,

My 3 girls are soooo into the fairies and we want to do the BBB in Oct. Are there fairy costumes there and which ones are they? Thanks!

 

[jenseib]

They didn't have the fairy dresses at the Castle, but they had them in the parks, so you would probably want to buy it and take it to the appointment.

Debating....Should I purchase the dress/accessories before we go to WDW, or should I just let her pick something out at BBB?

Do the shoes come with the package? I am going shopping at the Disney Store this weekend, and was wondering??

Thanks!

 

[jenseib]

If you find something you like, get it. What they have at WDW is different than the Disney store. Also if it is on sale, all the better. The big package does include shoes and other accessories

 

[luckymom3]

We had 2 princess make overs and 1 diva! one of my daughters always wanted long blond hair. So where else but WDW can your dreams come true!

 

[Disneycrums]

I love seeing all of these pictures! My DD3 has an appt. at BBB at MK at the end of May. We are doing the package where she gets the costume. She is tiny and will need an XXS (2-3). Is it hard to get the smaller sizes? She really wants Aurora. Can you call ahead and request? Also...she has a short, stacked bob haircut..it is also very thin. Will they still be able to do something with it??

Thanks!!

I have a question about the boy hairdo's they do at the BBB. How are they? How much? Do you think my 10 and 8 year old nephews would enjoy them? Are they done anywhere else?

Final installment!

After all the fun and pictures and her sash being put on her we proceeded up to pay. Lauren walked up with us and gave Claire her bag of goodies (makeup, nail polish, stickers, extra face jewels and comb). We asked Lauren to sign Claire’s autograph book as well. I paid then. Technically, when you think about it, this was “free” because we used our free gift card we had received with our package. (Same with the castle I bought, for that matter)

Here are some random shots I took while we she was getting done.

Lauren had asked Claire who each of the crowns belonged to. Claire said Belle for almost all of them. LOL She got Jasmines right though.

When she was done, she also kept saying..”wait till Dad sees me”. It was so sweet.

Immediately when we walked out she got compliments on how she looked and how wonderful her dress was. She wasn’t as gracious as she should’ve been and kind of got nasty later in the day. I had to tell her several times to be nice. These people thinks she’s pretty and scowling isn’t the way to thank them.

I think I forgot to mention (or maybe I did LOL) that when we were waiting several people asked about getting the dress Claire had on. One girl even started crying because Claire’s dress wasn’t available at BBB. So I had to remind Claire how lucky she was to have such a pretty dress.

We then headed back up main street towards exposition hall to do the photoshoot.

We stopped and got some photopasses again, but not as many and I wish would’ve done more then.

We then went to Exposition hall and got the photoshoot doen. Now word to the wise. This is supposed to be for BBB guest who paid for the big package. Others can do it too, but the people at the “desk” don’t really like you to do it unless you have bought the package…sooooo…don’t go to the desk. Go straight back to the photographer.

We had a really nice one. I told her (when she asked) that no we didn’t get the photo package, but did pre order the CD. She said “oh good, I can take some special ones then”. Claire made a lot of faces while doing this, but all in all they turned out great. Of course they are on my photopass CD.
She then took a few with me in them, and most turned out like crap. Claire looked so cute in them, but I have this really weird face going on.
The lady also told us that when DH met up with us, to come back and we could get some father/daughter ones. She said do NOT go up to the desk and if she wasn’t there anymore, don’t tell the other person that we had already been there. Just tell them we want father/daughter shots.

This place is suppose to accommodate any guest wanting pictures, with priority to BBB people, but they also want you to buy a package from them. Which is dumb, since you can have them all put on your card/CD and order what you want at home a lot cheaper.

Thanks for posting all the beautiful pictures!!! I was really unsure about doing BBB...but now I really want to do it for her....DD5.

I am hoping to find a "good" costume/dress and accessories at the Disney Store tomorrow. Then we will just get the makeup/hair package at BBB.

I can already fix DD's hair in the bun hairstyle.....LOTS and LOTS of gel!! I just want her to have the "princess" feel...lol!

 

[Ang_Park]

We will be at WDW in 3 weeks and I have an 8am appt for my DD 3 1/2. I can't to see her all done up

[fitnessmouse]

Where is the exposition hall where you have the pictures taken? Is that nearby the BBB?

 

[Sherry76]

Does Anyone know if they do anything like this for boys? Pirates costume for instance? We will be there in September with our 5 year old and 1 year old grandsons and thought it would be fun to have them dressed up. TIA

Hi everyone! I just love this thread, I just started planning my November trip
of course BBB is my first stop!! I have a question about appointments....I was thinking of dressing my DD (4) myself with one of the many gowns that I purchased at the disney store this past halloween......I wanted her to be dressed for dinner at 1900 park fare.....I do not think she will tolerate walking around MK all day with her dress on....so, we would do MK in the AM, go back to room, have lunch/pool, get dressed in gown, in the later afternoon, and head back to MK...what do ya'll think??
if I book a 6pm or 6:30 1900 park fare dinner, what time should I book my BBB appt.??
I LOVE everyone pics, your little girls are all so cute, its so nice to see happy little faces! I cant wait to bring my DD!!
thanks for your advice!!

I hope no one gets offended that I didn't read every page of this thread, but would any happen to know the store name of "Mrs. B" on ebay for costumes, and 2 what have you found as a good alternative for older girls that may not want to dress up for a character meal. My oldest DD is 6, but we are going this summer with older cousins that are not wearing costumes for the makeover & character meal to follow, and now she doesn't think she wants to wear one either. Does anyone have suggestions as to a super cute alternative for a costume that would still reflect a cute character type of style? (If that makes sense)

Thanks so much for the help!!

If that is the max price you also have to add tax.

As you are walking into MK it is the building to your right. You go in and towards the back.

They do a cool dude style for boys, But no boys costumes. I think they may sell boys pirate costumes over by Pirates ride though. There was a rumor at one time that they were building a palce to do this at for boys and have parties, I actually forgot to look and see if one was being built when I was there a few weeks ago. If it is being built it should open any time now, cause I heard this a year ago or so.

You can have her wear her dress to BBB and then get pics, change into normal clothes, and go about the day and then rechange back into the dress when you go to 1900 Park Fare. We had a 1:30 BBB apoinment and then went to get pics and then visited a few characters and then headed over to GF for our 4:40 1900 PF ADR.

I think the info is posted on the previous page (or 2). You could do a cute sundress.
