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

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.

That is what I thought. I wanted to know if we needed to manage expectations on the hair. We know she will get a total blast from the experience (and from the end result as she does not get to wear makeup for the most part). Thanks for the quick response!

Yes, they will NOT vary at ALL. I asked for my DD's hair to be less bubbly and more spikey and they wouldn't even do that.

Your daughter is beautiful, PRPrincess1021 - as are her pictures! She's just precious!

I really want to do this for my daughter but not sure if they would be able to do anything because of the length of her hair. It is between her shoulders and chin. Her hair takes a really long time to grow. Hopefully by September, it will be longer.
Has anyone had children go in with shorter hair?

Duplicate post. When I originally posted, I got a "fatal error" msg. Reposted - and got a duplicate! Go figure...

I'm glad I can answer this for you.
They WILL be able to do a fabulous job for your daughter.
The first time I took my DGD she had hair down to the middle of her back and they made a cute little bun on top of her head.
The second time, she had hair just like your daughter's - just between her chin & shoulders. Her hair style looked exactly the same!
The third time my DGD requested the "mod" or 'rock star" look (I forget what it's called), but they added a pink hair piece over the SAME hairstyle.
Your daughter will be just fine.
Also - my DGD has bangs. Twice they left them down & once they slicked them back - all after asking her how she wanted them.
Please don't worry - and have a great time.

Thank you so much for answering I am really glad to hear that they can do something with her hair. She is going to excited for this.

She'll LOVE it!

Hi there,

A fellow wishtripper sent me over here. My 3-year-old daughter will be going (hopefully!) to Disney for her Make-a-Wish trip and I know she would LOVE to go to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to get all dazzled and sparkled up since she ADORES the princesses, but from what I'm reading, the hairstyle is the main focus of the 'makeover' and Brooke's hair is rather short. (She lost it all as a result of chemo--she is now cancer-free!--and although it is growing back quickly, it's still a buzz cut! Not even long enough for barrettes yet.) Admittedly, by the time we go, she will have more hair to work with but I doubt it will be long enough to pin up into a bun with a tiara.

Do the Fairy Godmothers at BBB do anything different for girls with short hair? Do they offer some sort of different package (such as makeup and nails and sash, only? or the makeup and dress combo only?) Do they charge the same amount even if they can't do anything with the guest's hair besides spike it up? Is the experience of BBB still worth the price even if they can't give her a hairstyle?

As much I'd love to take her, I don't know that I can justify the expense of a BBB package if all they offer is hairstyling and she can't have anything done.

Anyone encounter the same situation? Suggestions? Would love to hear it. Thanks so much.

Quick question: if you purchase a dress at BBB will they send it back to your room like they do at other stores. My DD does not want to wear the dress all day because she wants to wear her Birthday Shirt. But I don't want to carry the outfit around all day. Just wondering if we could have it sent back to our room?

I'm not certain of your answer, but you could always bring a good size zip loc bag to put the dress in. Once you zip it shut and mush all the air out, it weighs very little and doesn't take much room in your bag. Those dresses don't wrinkly much either.

Also, be sure to ask for a "Birthday Princess" sash at the boutique instead of the regular "Princess" sash.

As much as I love the Tiana dress, DD really wants the Rapunzel dress...it's been asked, but does anybody know if it will continue throughout the year? We aren't going to be there until October. Should I start looking online maybe? What about the accessories? the point for her is to get the outfit... we did BBB last year in her own dress.

I just got off the phone with a fiary godmother in training and while it was like pulling teeth to get a list of the options, she did say Rapunzel is an option as of now. I hope she is here to stay.

Me: "what princesses are available?"
godmother: "what princesses are you wanting?"
Me: "we don't know, but I want to start dicussing with my daughter so she doesn't have to descide at list minute, so who is available"
godmother: "all of them"

Ok?????

so i started naming them off asking if they had more then one dress like cinderella's wedding dress, etc.
I got out of her:
cinderella
belle
ariel
aurora
tiana
rapunzel
jasmine
snow white.

after i got those, it wasn't worth my time trying to get her to list them anymore. A little frustrating, but whatever.

so in short, as of next month they should have rapunzel.

Will the Rapunzel option just be the wig? My daughter wants to be made up like Rapunzel but how do they do the whole speal with just a wig? If it is something like a hair extension then it is worth it

I'm sorry I can't answer your question specifically, but maybe this will help:
FGMIT can only do certain styles - they're not allowed to deviate. However, maybe they're allowed some leeway in certain circumstances??? I do know that there are some hair-pieces they can utilize - maybe your daughter could use one of these?
As far as I know, all the packages include the hair.
I hope someone who works at WDW will come along and answer your question more authoritatively. Maybe you could call and ask someone at BBB?
In the meantime, please let me tell you how wonderful it is that your daughter is now healthy! That is a priceless gift - as only a parent like you can realize!
I'm sending you much pixie dust and many good wishes!!!

Has anyone had children go in with shorter hair?

My DD Emily always has chin length hair when we are in WDW. She has been to Bibbidi twice and there has never been a problem. Shorter hair just means more gel and spray.

Your daughter will love it no matter what!!

Have fun!

Thank you very much! When you say as of next month, do you mean between now and then. Or after next month.
I've been combing through different websites and the one I like most (not that there are a lot to chose from) is indeed the Disney World dress for Tangled. Tiana is 2nd choice, but last year was a big deal to see Tiana, she dd BBB and went over to meet Tiana in a custom snow white dress (dress not big poof lol) So this year is sort of Tangled, so I hope I can get what she wants. Be nice if it was already there, but Im scared to wait.

when i called i told her the dates we would be there (april 23-28) and she said rapunzel was an option.


Has there been a princess or character they have only offered for a short amount of time?

I know they may change the dresses up, and add more then one option for some princesses (ie. cinderella and wedding cinderella and ariel and ball gown ariel), but to get rid of a princess who's DVD is set to release march 29th? i would hope not. plus, if tiana is still available after her movie theatre release and her dvd release, it sounds good for Rapunzel, right?
