You can. At Magic Kingdom it's at the front of the park in the photo building (name is escaping me at the moment) and at the Rose Garden.
Downtown Disney's is near guest relations.
The photos will still go on your photopass.

Anyone know how much this costs?

TIA!

Thank you very much for the suggestions. We had originally scheduled for Wed because of MNSSHP...the other reason we will be greatly disappointed if things don't work out. We plan on being a rope drop that morning, so I will probably go by first thing and check-in.

I am wondering if anyone else has ever been scheduled as a walk-in....has anyone else had an experience with a botched reservation???

I haven't had that experience, but I would also say stop in there as soon as you can and you'll have the best chance and your girl's can show off their new looks even longer You get the extra make-up so if you need to do a touchup before lunch pictures, it's no problem.

The photoshoot is free, then it's up to you how you want to proceed. Getting a photopass card and putting pictures on it is free. Then you have two choices, you can just have a few printed (either at Disney or you can look at them all online at home and edit/add borders) or you can order a CD with all your pictures (including any you edited online) when you get home. If you get the CD you get the copywright so you can print them anywhere you want and however many copies you want. You can pre-order the CD and it's a bit cheaper, I haven't done that though, so I assume you get some sort of code to put in after your trip - but I don't know for sure.

I am leaving in 2 days for WDW and am starting to panic about our BBB appointment. I originally made reservations for my DD4 and my friend's DD3 on the 180 day mark at 7:00AM. I easily got our preferred date and time (along with all of our dining reservations). About a month later, I called back to make a small change to one of our dining reservations - and went ahead and confirmed all of our ADRs and reservations for the trip. I found out then the the CM had made all of our Wed reservations for Thursday (along with our Thursday ADRs). Through a series of transfers, I eventually spoke with Natalie Rose in Guest Services who did her best to correct the situation. While our other ADRs were corrected, there was no availability at BBB. So now, the girls have walk-in appointments at 11:30 AM on Wed (we have CRT ADRs at 1:10PM).

I have spoken with Alicia (sp), a manager at BBB who explained to me that girls do not have a reservation nor do we have a confirmation number, but they will do their best to get the girls in before lunch. However, she could not send me a letter or anything in writing regarding our situation. As the trip approaches, I have this pit in my stomach that we are going to get there (with the girls all excited) and the staff working that day won't have any idea what I am talking about.

Having made the effort to make our reservations 6 months in advance, I hate the error of a CM could potentially cost the girls this experience. I know that mistakes happen, but I would feel better if Disney could assure us that we will be taken care of.

My question is...Has anyone else had something similar happen with positive results? Are there any FGIT out there that can give me some insider assurance? My friend and her daughter are traveling all the way from AZ for BBB - I will be crushed if we are turned away. Please make me feel better!

THANKS!

Alicia is very true to her word, and I expect she has made a note somewhere about your situation. Similar things have happened before. Just as long as you re-explain your situation to the podium ladies, you will be fine. Try not to worry!

Thank you for taking the time to reassure me! Our experience in February was very magical...but our reservation was "on the books". This will be my friend's daughter's first trip to WDW and BBB. I am the one that made the reservations; and I will feel horrible if things don't work out. We are so looking forward to our "Girls Only" week!

I am so new to this and don't have to time to read this whole thread, so I apologize is this has already been asked. We are leaving in two weeks, has anyone ever just walked up and got in to BBB with reservations? My dd just mentioned this would be cool this morning. I know it's not a big deal to her (she's 13), but would be something fun to do if we had time one day. I know any busy times of the year it would be impossible, I was just wondering since with all of the deals disney has been offering in the last month the numbers apparently were down.

I'd call and see if you can get a reservation, if not, then try walking up. I would think it may be easier to get a ressie at DTD, but I could be wrong.

I just ordered the Alice dress from Ms. B O0 Wonderful service and I should get it this week. Thanks for the info!

Just returned from WDW and at the BBB downtown, I inquired about the photoshoot that is done afterwards...was told I HAD to pay for it ahead of time...I told the CM that it is part of the photopass...and she said no, it is a separate fee...$29.99...I just went to the area afterwards and stood in line. They do check your receipt to see that you had the BBB appointment done, but the photographers are part of the photopass and told me it was up to me if I wanted the package or I could just get them on the photopass...

HINT...I joined a photopass group on the dis and we had 12 go in on the CD so it only cost us $10 each. One person gathers the groups' numbers on the photopass and gets the CD. You may want to check out those threads. I think it was under the family, but not sure.

They were turning people away at DTD without appointments last week.

I've seen a couple of you mention pre-ordering your photopass. We're going in December and I would like to do this. How do you go about it and how much is it? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I finally uploaded the BBB pics I took. August 31st. Here are some of the castle location.
And she ended up choosing the deluxe Cinderella dress even though she had all of the new ones. I left it up to her though and I think it looked great on her. I thought for sure she'd choose Belle.

I should be getting my Photopass pictures today. I have more in my trip report too if you wanna check those out. Just click the orange link at the bottom. BTW there is a NEW Pocahontas dress! Looks about the same but it's made out of super soft velvet material now. I like it a lot better than the old one!

Your daughter looks beautiful! I love that dress. Her FGIT looks familiar!

I have to say, it certainly met my expectations, and if you are in the MK for the day like we were, I wouldn't cancel my appt. (Not negating any others experiences, just sharing ours
Nicole

I think it's wonderful that you had such a great time!

However....I took a look around the place and noticed many little girls getting makeovers done. Nobody was smiling or talking....it was really weird. At DTD everything was so lively and FUN! Some of the kids were freaked out and the FGIT's seemed annoyed whereas when I saw this at DTD the FGIT's would talk to the kids and make them feel better. They'd end up leaving with big smiles on their faces. I actually saw some kids want their hair removed the second they got up. I felt bad for them.

I think it should be a magical experience for everyone! So, if you had really swet FGIT share that experience and her name or picture on here. That way the next child that gets her is sure to have a great time too!

That sounds exactly how it was when we were there. That is so odd. I saw in your pictures that there was another one of our FGIT working when you were there. I didn't see Susan though!

We went to the castle last year and we had Rhonda for a FGIT - she was wonderful!

I haven't told the story since last year so I'll tell it again. DD was 4 1/2 at the time and Rhonda asked her where her castle was. DD said, I don't live in a castle, I just live in a house. So Rhonda says - "I thought all princesses live in castles?" And DD leans over to her and whispers "I'm not really a princess, I'm just pretending, this dress, it's just a dress up dress" We all just rolled it was so funny!

That is so cute!!!

Susan, Makayla is just stunningly beautiful!!! But when did she get so big!!? It seems like she was almost a baby when you first started posting, and now look at her!

My Favorite FGIT at BBB in the Castle
SUSAN

I know there are a few FGIT that post here, what are their real names? I know Angela (Angiebelle), but I think there are a few more, right?​

Hi, Teresajoy!
Yes, I started to sew for Makayla 2 years ago....she is now 3 and will be 4 in Jan. Nicholas was 4 in May...remember the photos of him I posted when he arrived from Russia? Wouldn't even know that he is the same child. Makayla is still tiny, but taller.

Photo from tea party...Makayla on right, this little girl just came up and hugged her...how cute!

Before picture...waiting for our turn at BBB with grandpa in the background. She still has that curly hair that just gets curlier during the day

As soon as she got out of the BBB, she ran for the mirror and just stared and stared at herself...I don't think she recognized herself!

And finally the smile of approval!

Nick went on a pirate treasure hunt via boat from the Yacht Club and we met up in EPCOT for lunch.

Loved looking at your girls too. When I read your review of the castle BBB, I decided to go to DTD. It was a good choice.

Susan

Can anyone who has been to the BBB please tell me if they have size 12/14 costumes. We booked the BBB as a surprise for my daughters 9th birthday on October 30th and I know she would just be so sad if she couldn't get a costume. If they don't have that size can you tell me where we can get a fancy one either before we get there or while we are a the MK.

 

[chasinglibras]

I have a sizing question, too....do the princess dresses typically run pretty true to size? I'm looking at some of the retired dresses on ebay and can't tell if I need a 4/5 or a 6/6x for my short (but solid!) 4 year old DD. Thanks!

 

[lilyfrog73]

My daughter generally wears a 7/8 shirt and size 7 in pants. I ordered from Mrs. B a size M 7/8 and they fit my daughter perfectly. It will pobably depend on the brand. Mine were the ones from WDW.

 

[gbdisneymom]

Could someone please PM me the info for Ms. B so I can look at her ebay stuff?

 

[joy13]

I just got my daughter's Alice dress from Mrs. B today in the mail - so cute! She was a pleasure to work with.

gbdisneymom - the info is a few pages back
