The gift shop back by the Toontown Hall of Fame (where Pixie Hollow is located) is your best bet. I think I saw all the fairy costumes there last December....

Cool; thanks! Can't wait to take my DD to Pixie Hollow!!

Can someone please tell me if it is usual to give the FGIT a tip. And if so, how much? TIA.

When we went about a year and half ago I had dd give her one and when I left with the bag they give you it was in there with a note saying she thank you. Not sure if she just would not accept it or if they are not allowed.

Is there a picture on here or anywhere where I can see the silver flip flops and/or cinderella shoes that they sell in Disney that will match the princess white wedding type dress?

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Okay, I found a pic of the glass slippers but not the flip flops. Also, does anyone know is they have started selling a Princess Tiana dress yet?

Can anyone tell me about the nails for BBB? We are getting the middle package and would wonder--do I need to have their nails clean (no polish)? Are they stick on nails or on their own? Is it just a basic nail color? Thanks

We chose the middle package too. They had a couple of pastel colors to choose from so have your little princess come with no nail polish on.

Yes, they need to come with no polish on.

When we were there last December, they let the girls choose press-on or polish. I didn't even hear them discuss it, or I would have steered her to the polish. Sure enough.... before we even checked out she was telling me they felt weird and wanted them off. Fortunately our FGIT overheard and quickly took her back to pull them off and paint them.

Just be sure your daughter is OK with the different feeling of press-ons or your money will be wasted!

 

[2littleprincesses]

Thanks for your answers. Another question--do you tip the FGmothers? I thought I read that they returned someone's tip--just wanted to know. Thanks

Someone else will have to confirm this, because I don't really remember for sure.... I'm thinking I asked at the desk and was told no. Be sure to double check though.

Has anyone got to BBB and not been able to get a dress?

my DD 7 wants Cindy in size 10 and my DD 5 wants Tink in size 6

TIA

I'm sorry if this has already been asked just cant go thru all these pages but the Pocahontas costume listed is that the only one they sell at DW because that seems soo warm the one on the disneystore.com seems so much cooler. My DD has been saving her allowance and doing extra chores so she can afford to buy this costume but i would hate for her to get down there and it be to hot for her to wear it. Other wise I will just order the one online. and Maybe she will want to buy the Ariel ballgown instead. Does anyone know if that is available in adult size? I would get that to wear to the MNSSHP!! Thank you for any info you can get me!

We have been twice (May 2008 and Oct. 2008) and tipped both times and it was gladly accepted, FYI!

My daughter is in a size 5. She chose Jasmine, which is to big for her. The FGIT's took some clear ponytail holders and made bows and gathers to make it fit correctly (and it looked great too). They indicated that they change dresses periodically so they start to run out of sizes.

My daughter saved her money and chose Jasmine. If Pocahontas was available, she would have picked it. We did end up buying it for her at a shop in Downtown Disney. It's to big but by the time cooler weather hits, it will be perfect. I don't think that the dress is really any hotter to be in than the fancier dresses, but it has boots to it, which makes me feel like it would be to warm. The boots seem to run small, so if you can have her try a pair. You could always bring a simple pair of moccasins and save the boots for later at home.

Many thanks! Yes, I made her gowns. We've been at it for a while and are currently plotting new creations for our fall trip!

Enjoy the BBB!

Would you mind my asking what you tipped? Or not even how much but what percent? TIA.

Yes tipping is allowed. About a year and half ago it was started, before that they weren't allowed to accept tips. You can tip whatever you want. But the guidelines for tipping in a salon ar the same a a resturant. 15-20 % of your service. (I worked in a slaon for many years.) Now if you buy picturtes or assessories, those do not have to be included in the % you tip.

I couldn't really remember what you tip in a salon as my DSis cuts our hair and I always tip her extra since she gives us a discount. Just today I gave her $6 for a $14 bill.
