She is just too cute

We haven't decided yet if we're having my niece do BBB on the same day as CRT dinner. If we end up doing it the same day, we'd like to have some park time in between the two. Assuming we're able to get a seating between 5:30 and 6:00, what time would be good to schedule BBB? I'm thinking we should allow approximately two hours for the makeover and photoshoot, followed by about three hours of park time. I'm thinking a noon appt. would be good?

I am trying to decide whether or not to make an appointment for my DD5 for our trip in November. Can somebody tell me exactly what you get with the castle package. I know you get the hair, make-up, nails, dress, and accessories. What exactly are the accessories. And it says the price starts at $189.95, will the price go up depending on which dress she chooses? Just trying to figure out if we should get a dress ahead of time or let her pick one out there.

Also, we won't be able to do everything on this trip so which would you choose.

BBB make over
MNSSHP on Oct. 30, 31 or Nov. 1 (if they have the party on those dates)
Getting park hoppers

We will be able to add one to our trip, but don't know which one would be best.

I would get BBB make over and MNSSHP tickets. I wouldn't bother with parkhoppers. If only one, then probably MNSSHP. Sicne you can do BB anytime of the year if/when you go back. I think if you bring your own dress and just do the basic package, you can still do the party as well.
I think the castle package is nice, but you really don't need all the accessories. I think it has a crown, shoes and wand. plus the photopackage., You can still go and have the photos taken and have them put on your photopass card. You just won't get the prints!

Is there anywhere that has pictures of the current dresses? I would love to have a peak at the options before heading there. Last time, DD through us for a loop. Totally didn't think she would pick Tinkerbell! But, she was the cutest Tink I have ever seen!

I would love to know, too! My DD has done BBB the past two years and not much of a change. She's trying to decide now for our spring break trip (I'm sure she will change her mind 10 times within the next few weeks), and we both wanted to see pics.

It looks as though all of the costumes listed on the front page are the current ones. After much much searching, I am 95% sure that these are the current dresses. I was able to track them all down to the Disney Store site for Authentic Park Merchandise. The ones that don't come up currently on their site, are sold out. But I was able to do some google searches that brought them up on Disney Store, but were sold out. I think I have them all!

We have not been to Disney yet, and are planning to go in May. So, if there is anyone out there that can confirm these are/aren't the current dresses, please let us know!

Here are the pictures of them from their website.

I know the Tiana one is because I have that one. I think the Jasmine looks right too. Not sure about the Cinderella or the Aurora. I thought both were a little different, but I could be wrong. I know they did change them, but I thought the Cinderella one was much prettier.

 

[jenseib]

This is the current ariel fish costume

And this is the Jasmine tutu

The Jasmine outfit

I don't know iff BBB sells all these or not. But these are park authentic right now.

 

[jenseib]

I think this is the current Cinderella

I think this is the snow white one, but I'm not 100% sure

This is the Aurora one

Do I need to bring anything to prove my daughter's age cuz she's quite small for her age but she'll be 3 when we go.

 

[jzzikamarie]

Thank you both so much for posting! Those look like the same ones from last year, too...could be wrong. We have Jasmine and Tiana...hoping for Rapunzel or Cindy's wedding dress (dd saw one a while back at Disney Store). Any idea if they have either of those?

 

[HuskerFaninIL]

Thanks so much for the pictures! When I clicked on your link it did show a Rapunzel dress, can anyone verify that they are indeed offering a Rapunzel dress.

I know they had the Rapunzel makeover and it is now over, my oldest DD really wanted to be Rapunzel for Halloween but I told her whatever BBB dress she picks is her costume (we are going 9/22 through 10/1) so if they did indeed offer Rapunzel that would rock her world!!

I loved her - she did an excellent job with my daughter and talk to her the whole time.

I think the answer may be no, but I thought I should ask, as I see there are some FGITs (current or former) responding on this thread.

My daughter will be going to the BBB at DTD and will be doing the Crown package. This is her first time at the BBB. She was wondering if it was possible to just get a french braid done, or does she have to choose from a set list of styles. In reading the thread, it looks like she has to go from the list, but I thought it doesn't hurt to ask.

I am not a CM, but can answer.

They will not vary from that list at all. Not even a tiny bit.

No, the options aren't great. But for us it was more about the overall experience than the end result.
