Another Question

My dd has an 8am appointment at BBB at the castle on April 29th. We are a party of 5. Will they let us all through the gate(me, my dh, ds, dd and my parents) for the appointment? We all want to go and witness her transformation and don't want to miss it? Also she is only getting the middle package, how long does it take in total? I am assuming no more than 1/2 hour? What do we do till 9am when the park opens if we are done by 8:30-8:40am? Can we still go to exposition hall and have her pictures done or do we have to wait for Rope Drop? DO we have to exit once again and re-enter the park at opening?

9 more days till our first magical disney family trip!!!!!

I'm not sure, but I dod know there is limited space inside the BBB, so if it is busy, your whole family shouldn't be in there. There just might not be enough room and it might take up space for someone else as well. I think the offical rules are 1 adult with the child. I know more than that usually come though. I just got a little frustrated when we were there because I larger family was in there and I almost tripped over one of them when I was taking pictures and I back up to the seat I had and almost sat on a lap of one of the family members.

Thanks, I was hoping because it was 8am it would be less of an issue than mid-day. Will keep this in mind

 

[jenseib]

I think it wil lstil lbe busy in there,, but they will just be running on time.

How long does the entire castle package take, from arrival to the taking of the pictures?

Thanks so much! We are doing it at DTD.

 

[jenseib]

I would say once you get in it could tke 30 minutes to an hour. The pictures are taken at the front of MK, so you have to work your way up there and then it is first come first serve. It didn't take us long, but I sisnt really time it.

 

[jenseib]

I’m gonna post some of the photo shoot pictures now. Some are just so cute and some she has such silly faces. LOL!

 

[jenseib]

This one is so funny. The lady told her to gaze up at the light bulb and she really had no clue what she meant, so she just looked at the light bulb. LOL!

 

[jenseib]

And some more. I was really impressed at how many she took.

I LOVE these. They had Claire twirl in her dress.

They took several of the two of us together and most were really bad. This is about the only decent one.

And these are with the other photographer. And look how she didn’t even be sure that the framing was done right. She took a picture wider than the background.

 

[tinkerone]

WOW great shots. can i pop in a few questions please.....the pics with her dad and with you, did you have to ask them to take them or did they suggest it? also, we are going to bbb at dtd then making our way to mk. would we just go to expedition hall for this when we get there or is it only for the bbb that is done in wdw?
i'm so excited about this and your lovely pics are just getting me more excited. looks like they took tons of pics. i assume these were put on to your photo pass???

 

[jenseib]

Oops, the family shot didn;t show up and I fixed it.

We did two shoots actually. The first time I went with her and then at the end that photographer had me jump in a few.
She told me to come back and just ask for father/ DD pics to whoever was there. So when DH got to the park we did just that, and that lady was not creative at all. She did shoot one family picture too.
But if you want these kind fo pics, go ahead and ask for it if they don't suggest it.

Yes they were all put on my photopass card. I bypassed the desk completely, because I have heard they pressure you into buying, or will say you can't get them done.

I think you can do either place, DTD or Expostion hall. You might even want to try both to a get a variety of pictures. Just don't tell the second one you did it already. LOL!

OK, the pictures at the beginning of the post are AMAZING and very helpful but I was wondering if they are still the current dresses or if Disney has changed them again.

If there are new ones out, does anyone have pictures?

Thanks!

 

[jenseib]

I'm pretty sure she has the current ones up. She might have a few older ones too, but it would be noted if it isn't available anymore.

Can anyone answer the what we do when she is done questions? Can we stay in the park or do we have to leave or can we do her pictures at exposition hall? Can our whole family go with her for her appt or can only myself and my hubby and son(just turned 4) go with her? Thanks in advance

4 more days till we are disney

 

[jenseib]

I know one answer. Yo ucan stay in the park, but you will only have limited access till official opening

Thanks, that is a great answer

 

[emcreative]

I sent you a PM...

I'm still at the start of this thread a newbie...but if you're still around and have the info on the reduced dresses, I'd love to have it PM'd.

Also, if you or anyone else might know where I can get adult sizes I'd love that too. My 12 yo is in a women's size 9!

 

[emcreative]

Also...I think this year the kids will be more likely to go "all out" for the pirate makeover and only get the midsized package at BBB (I really want them to do it though as we're eating at the castle, and haven't done BBB before).

(sorry if these have been asked a million times)

1. Has anyone just has them wear a nicer sundress? I'm worried they will be very hot, and one of the kids has some sensory issues.

2. Do you get a tiara with all three "levels"?

3. If I prepurchase the photopass CD, will they take photosessions of the kids even with a "smaller" package?

LOL I love the Pirate makeover idea, but I'm kinda grimacing about pictures of my "pirate girls" eating in the castle (Which is odd if you know me, I'm not a girly-girl myself!)

 

[jenseib]

I may be wrong, but I think they only do the pirate at DTD. I really haven't heard about it lately, so may they don't anymore.
Also there is a pirate place rumored to open this summer doing pirate makeovers, so that may be the place to get the pirate do now.

Yes you can wear a sundress.

Anyone can do the photoshoot.
The tiara only comes with the bun style. It doesn't matter which price, but only that hairdo. But you can purchase one.
