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

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!)

The pirate hairstyle is just the diva with a certain hairpiece. I don't know if they always have those available or not. It's a black and white hair extension with pirate skull and crossbones in it. The tiara doesn't come with the diva - but you can buy it ahead and they will put it in. The used to sell tiara's with a skull and crossbones on it at the gift shop at the end of POC.

I was actually referring to the new Pirates League makeover place opening soon (I didn't know they had a pirate hairstyle at BBB, that's awesome)

Here's what I was talking about:

So your thinking of doing both then? Yeah, go for the sundress, or bring a dress from home if you wish.

Yes I was thinking about getting them one of the "smaller" packages at BBB and then the Pirate one they want (if it's ready in time). That's one of my fears: They'll have their heart set on the Pirate League and it either won't open by the time we get there or they won't have any availability!

I'd call right on Mya 11th then and try. Once you get bakc we must hear about it and see pictures. I would love to know how it is for girls.

I have a question. I already have my daughter's costume. Last year I went to the BBB at Downtown Disney and was able to buy the accessories to the dress there. Does the BBB at the MK have accessories to buy to match the dresses like the crown, shoes, etc?

 

[jenseib]

yes. We bought our crown there this year.

Hi! I have BBB booked for my just will be turning 3 yo for our July trip at the MK location at 915a! I have the Cinderella ballet costume with the headband and shoes that I bought at the Disney store. I booked the coach pkg, and I am wondering if it includes having the photopass photos taken?? And, will it include that cute BBB sash?? Also wondering if anyone else has experience taking a newly turned 3 yo?? She loves the princesses and can tell you them all by name! It will also be her 3rd trip! I am just wondering if her attention span will keep her sitting that long! Thanks for any input!

The sash is included for everyone.
You can have your pictures put on your photopass. if you get the photoshoot, just bypass the desk and go straigt to the photographer and tell her/him that you want photos done. If they ask if you got the package jsut tell them no, you already purchased the CD and want them on that. They will put them on the CD no matter what, but will more likely take more if you didn't buy the pakcage that includes photos.

My daughter did the BBB on Thursday. She struggled all week long trying to decide which Princess to be. It was really almost a coin flip when we walked in. She went with Aurora. Sleeping Beauty to me.. Its an awesome but long process. About 2 hours after she asked if she could change back into her normal clothes. I wanted to strangle her. Luckily we had and ADR at CRT at 5:20. I think she lasted 5 hours as a princess. I was kinda bummed. All in all she said she loved it all.
And now I can show off some of the pics I took. I wasnt overly thrilled with PhotoPass. 1 Photog for 8 stations.
Let the pics tell the story!

side note 1 good 1 bad.
The FGIT who checks you in(Jennipher) is from my home town. I got talking to her and asking her if she wanted to bring her back. She was like no way. She told me her family own the Doughnut shop in town. I asked if I could bring a special note home for her. I thought she was gonna cry. She ran off and wrote a note. She also gave me a certificate proclaiming me King Neal. The Special Delivery King. I got a kick out of that. She also got me a priority FastPass. It never got used tho.
Now the bad.
The FGIT doing my daughters nails, turns to me and asks wheres Mom. I was confused. She said Mom has to decide if she gets the fake nails or just polish. I asked her why she needs Mom? Mom always makes the right choice. I kinda got snippy and informed her that Mom was at Home. This is a Daddy Daughter trip. She was shocked that Mom wasnt present. She made me feel like I was wrong for not having Mom there. I let my princess decide on which nails to use. The FGIT did tell me the fake ones dont last. My princess choose the nail polish.
anyways sorry about the rant. Enjoy the Pictures. I took over 50 pictures of the entire process. These are just my favorites!

 

[tinkerone]

They now supply combs. You can buy brushes there with a princess on it.

Awww I actually think that's really cute for you to take her as a dad since it's normally the mom. I love doing things with just my dad and getting special alone time.

 

[emcreative]

Daddee, I'm sorry that employee was so unthoughtful. Usually they are a bit more sensitive about things at Disney (at least in my experience). Hopefully she learned her lesson.

I would have LOVED to have a dad who would have done that kind of thing with me growing up (heck, do ANYTHING with me growing up!) Your daughter is a very lucky little girl and she'll remember that trip for the rest of her life!

Is there a way to surprise her with it at the BBB? She's a Cinderella fanantic and she has a dress already but has always wanted a sparkly one so I broke down and ordered one of the new ones from Disney Store online. I was hoping to have her think we wer bringing the old one and then surprise her once we are there? Is this something they will help me with? I'll have my mom with me to get it to someone. I thought I had read before where someone did this and they brought DD to a changing room etc...

Did that make any sense? 18 days to go and my mind if FRIED!!!

I do beleive you can have someone take it there and have it waiting. Or you could do like I did. (just another idea) I made up a letter from "the fairy Godmother" and left it out for my DD along with the dress and shoes. When she woke up on her BBB day it was there waiting for her. The note said something along the lines of here is a dress for your BBB appointment, love you fairy godmother. DD was so excited that the fairy godmother left something in the room for her.

That is PERFECT!! We are staying offsite in a condo so he has her own room and everything. I can totally sneak it in there after she's sleeping!! Thank you!!!

no you can just have photos taken. Just by pas the desk and go straight back to the photographer. I did it at MK.

Your DD is so cute! I love how special the trip was for you. I am surprised they asked about fake nails. Was it awhile ago. I had thought they did away with them. I know when we were there in March no one was even asked. the girls just got there nails painted.

can i ask, was the dress in your pics one of the choices at bbb. it is beautiful. your daughter looks lovely in it.

No, we got the dress from the disney store. Some sotres now have them on sale. But I don't see that dress online anymore. I acutally got it online becuase it was on sale online, but our store didn't have them onsale. I got the dress, shoes and shipping cheaper than what I would've paid for the dress in the store.
