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

[mom2rtk]

On the disneystore.com ? And outlet? I looked there today and they are all sold out.I went to the CM store at Disney back in Feb with a friend who works there and they had all of them for WAY CHEAP but not in DD's size
I will keep looking on the site.
We leave here on Aug 21st.There are a few of the Disney Outlets on the way down too that I can hit up before we get there I guess.
Thanks for the help

If you PM me, I'll see if I can hunt down photos of the last couple of years deluxe costumes on Ebay. These really were nicer than the ones they sold in the parks. I'm thinking the Disney Store costumes came out last year around the 18th of August. Maybe you can get lucky and they will be out before you go.....

Well, this is probably the hardest time of year to find a costume outside the parks. I just checked Disneyshopping.com and they don't have much.

You can still try Ebay, but it's hard to tell how full it will be. If you look there, try putting "deluxe" in the title. They sold a line of deluxe costumes I thought were very pretty and full too.

Keep in mind it's going to be really hot there in August, so bring a comfy change of clothes. Let her keep it on as long as she likes, get TONS of pictures, then let her change to be comfortable. If you visit the princesses in the Judge's Tent, or head to CRT for lunch, have her change back into it. Also be sure to bring comfy shoes.

Keep it fun and she'll want to keep doing it!

I'll keep looking Thanks for the info!

We are crazy for taking her in August.We never go in the summer months.Mostly off season *I am a Floridian..LOL I am not crazy enough to go in the heat of summer* But sadly her Bday is in August.We went for mine in Feb and she wanted to do the BBB and CRT again for her Bday this year.Her appt is like 9am and lunch at CRT is at 1pm.So we will be ok up till then.And then we will be changing clothes into something else I am sure and might be a swimmy suit for her to ride Splash Mountain..LOL

I'll be subbed to this forum so I can keep up with the dress chatter and updates.We have a few costumes but it is her special day and this is all she asked for...I won't complain

I have 2 DD's ages 3 and 10. 10 year old has not been interested in princesses for some time but really wants to do BBB with her sister. I made reservations for both of them, but my question is - will she feel/look silly in a princess dress? Do they even sell them in the larger sizes - she is a 14? I was hoping to bring dresses with us to save some money, but I have not been able to find anything in the size range. Anyone have feedback on older girls doing BBB? She does not want to do the HM experience. TIA.

There is an age limit on who can where dresses in the park. I can;t rmemeber what it is exactly, but it might be under 10. That being siad, many younger girls stil lwear them. But as for a size 14, I think there is very limited selection. I think Jasmine is one, and maybe one or two others. I would look online at adult sized costumes and you will have better selection.

my 6yr old DD wears a size 12-14 the disney size 12s are cut pretty big you could try them.

 

[arcurioa]

Thanks for the info. I think I remember seeing that they had size 14's but I am not sure if she will have much of a selection.

 

[golden6911]

I'm sure this has been asked but I didn't see it on the front page. How long does the hair and nail package last? I was looking to have my DD do the BBB then go to the princess breakfast and I was wondering how far apart to book them? Would an hour be enough?

 

[erinlees_mommie]

Taking your own dress and doing the Castle package..IS that an option?
I want her pics taken and the whole treatment done but I think I am going to take a dress for her.
How much does it save off the cost of the package?

Thanks

You would get the middle package than add on anything else you want.

 

[erinlees_mommie]

THANKS

Is it worth doing that way?
Do they still do the room with the childs name on it if you bring in the costume or just come dressed as the princess you want to be?

I am debating a dress now and it isn't one sold in the parks .. it is an older one
But I still want the full treatment for her.After all you are only 5 once

 

[DisneyMomma81]

I plan to bring a dress for DD ~ I don't need to pay an extra $5 for them to paint her nails ~ we'll go *Coach*

 

[arcurioa]

Thanks for all of the info on this thread. We decided to go ahead and buy dresses ahead of time. I went over to the Disney outlet in NJ last night and was able to pick up the deluxe Cinderella for older DD and the deluxe Aurora for youngest DD. They really are beautiful dresses, now I just have to figure out how to pack them and what to do with them until our appointment. Does anyone know if BBB or somewhere in the MK will hold them until appt time at 10:30?

 

[arcurioa]

One more thing, we are not doing CRT after BBB (we were just there last year and I don't think I could get ADR's at this point anyway) What else does anyone suggest. I was looking at afternoon tea at the GF. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

I think the Tea would be absoulutely boring for your kids, if you are talking about the one at the GF cafe.
You could go to the wonderland tea party, which my DD did this past trip and she LOVED it. They had a visit from Alice and the Mad Hatter and a light lunch and fun games. There is an age limit, but I can't remember what it is off hand. Like maybe 12?
I do have a lot of pictures and our expereince with it in my dining report which is linked in my signature. The first post should tell you which page it is on.

The day we did BBB though we went to 1900 Park Fair for Dinner. That was nice too. My DD wore her hair do all week long, and I actually washed it one day and redid it because sh cried that she wouldn't be beautiful for Alice if I didn't. LOL!

That's the one I was thinking of. I was thinking the ala carte options, but have never been there. The only kid tea I saw was 10:30 to 12:00 so that would not work because of the timing. We did 1900 Parke Fare a couple of years ago and enjoyed it so that could be an option. Thanks.

OneTreeHill, or anyone else, does anyone have photos of the Girls costumes available at the Pirate's League??

TIA

I don't know if BBB will hold them or not, but those type dresses are mostly "poof". If you put them each in a large ziploc bag, you can push the air out and make them much more manageable to put in your bag for the park.

I agree - we did this last year and it worked out great. I was worried about the dresses wrinkling in the ziploc, but they did not. When it was time to put them on they were perfect

 

[arcurioa]

Thanks for the ziplock tip. perfect. I was going to use a space bag to pack them, but I may just ziplocks for the trip down as well. TFS.
