Hi Everyone

I have a question, and please forgive me if it has been answered a hundred times before. When you get the $40 and $50 packages that include the hairstyle; does that include a crown? And can you tell my the phone number to make ressies at Mk?

 

[jenseib]

Thank you! Unfortunately, the link you provided didn't work but it gave me an idea as to where to look. I would post the correct link but once again, because of a lack of post count, I can't. Essentially, it's page 36 of this thread.

I wonder why it didn't work I copied it from here, oh well, the info is on page 36.

The crewon is included in the bun style, any other style you have to by the small crown. The big ones that are princess appropriate cost no matter what style you get. We bought a Belle one and I beleive it was $15.00

AngieBelle, I would have PM'd you this question, but I thought it might me of interest to others, so...

Last May we did BBB at MK and had a wonderful FGIT named Rhonda (see pic below). Do you know if she is still there? If so, is there a way to request her?

Thanks!

We had Rhonda too in 2007 - she was wonderful!!!

I wish we had her. She looked liek fun. She was there last week. WE had Lauren. She was fine, but not as peppy as ome of the others. I also noticed she hardly used any gel on DD's hair. Some might htink great, but I knew DD's hair wouldn't last long without much. And it didn't. She had it done on Monday afternoon, and Wed it was all falling out. I washed her hair that day, but she wanted it back in ,so I redid it using alot more gel, and it stayed. We took it out Sunday morning (at home) when I MADE her get her hair wash. There were lots of tears over it.
Anyone know the best way to clean the extension and have it look decent. Ours looks like a teased rat right now. LOL! I was thinking of washing it, then putting conditioner on it and hoping it would smooth it out some?

I just combed it out carefully and put it in curlers for a couple of days, LOL!

 

[jenseib]

I won't be able to comb out the long stuff without washing it and conditioning, I think. Not sure even then. She swam nightly with it, but I did try to pin it up. But she still got it wet.

Sorry if this has been asked before but my dd wants to be turned into Tinkerbell and I was wondering what kind of hair they might do for her. I don't really want it pulled back so tight but it is that usually the only way they do it. Tink's hair looks so soft and wispy and I just can't imagine seeing it pulled back so tight on dd. If anyone has pictures of your lo's as Tink, I would love to see them. Any suggestions?

They only do the 3 hair styles. So you have to chose one of those. I even asked if the one we got could not be turned into the bubble look (the Diva) like I see all the others, and just left spikey and the girl said no. She siad they weren;t allowed to differe at all. When we left, I pulled it apart a bit, and by the next day I had it looking like how I wanted it. LOL!

Just thought I would let everyone know here, we just got back on Thursday night, but I noticed on Wednesday that all of the princess dresses were on sale for $49.95 in all the shops.

I'm not sure what affect this has on the prices at BBB, if any, but I just thought someone might be able to use the info. I wonder if this means they are going to get all new styles of princess dresses.

My DD5 went to BBB on Saturday 3/14. She had her heart set on the white wedding dress. Unfortunately, the smallest size they had was a medium, which was a little bit big on her, but she begged and we took it anyway. I had asked the FGIT if they could get one from one of the other stores, and she said that BBB always has the full inventory that is available. She said if they don't have it, no other store on property would have it.

Seeing the princess dresses on sale now makes me wonder if they are all getting updated and that was the last of the white dress.

 

[jenseib]

All the toys were on sale when we were there, and I was told they would be for the whole month of March. (35% off) I am assuming the economy is why. One CM told me they never offer sales like that too often, and all the CM's were even taking advantage of the sales. I doubt they would go with new dresses already (though anything is possible) since they just replaced them. Though I haven't found a new one yet that I like very much compared to the old styles.

these are the costumes DD will wear for 1900 Park Fare and Akershus Charcater meals.


I have to play with the Belle one because the hoop underneath makes it fall funny.

I plan on doing her hair and glitter her up since she won't be 3 until after our trip.

Here is DD with the Fairytale princess "do" as Tinkerbell:

Here hair doesn't show well in that picture, so here it is earlier in the day when she was dressed as Cinderella:

If your DD is with in 4 weeks of her third b-day she can get it done.

Hello - My daughter did BBB a little over a year ago. We will be returning to Disney in January. Our daughter is almost 8 and wants to do this again. Even though our experience was not the best she did have a good time. Last time we did BBB at the Magic Kingdom. Her stylist was very nice but the people in the BBB were very pushy. There was a little girl next to us and when she was seated about 8 or so people came in to take pictures and film her. I have no problem with this but they stood right in front of me and were very rude. I also was taking picture of my daughter but I think they thought they were very special and pretty much took over the place. It just was not a great experience in my opinion. In my daughters eyes she loved it and that is what counts. So my question as my daughter is on the shy side when she does not know people what is the best time to do the BBB? Is it still very crowded or has it calmed down a bit. I think since this will probably be our last visit to BBB we will do lunch at the Castle if that is possible. Can you request a certain person? Thanks for any help?

Oh!!! I didn't know this! Hmmm....good to know.....

I may still just do her hair myself though. I'm nervous when it comes to her hair. Will think about it....

If you are morning people, I would think getting one of the first appointments of the day would be your best bet. Then you can get into the park before opening (if it's a non-emh day at least) and get some nice pictures after without a ton of people around. If you want lunch she can tour the park all fixed up and then have lunch. Otherwise you could try and get breakfast after.

Thanks - Do you know what time they open in the morning? I think I would probable prefer closer to lunch time but will have to see what our schedule will be like. I know my daughter would love to eat at the castle and this would give us some time together. Our son is now 11 and went with us last time to the Norway dinner and was a good sport. He did have pictures taken but only if his sister was with him. So we will see what happens this trip.

I think they open at 8:00am

I started editing my BBB pictures.. I am going to copy from my trip report and post it here.
--------------


We got checked in at 1:10 and I told them Claire would also like the red Belle crown and they handed one to us.
I had forgot something in the stroller, so we went back out real quick since we still had time before our actual appointment at 1:30.

I took a picture of her with her new crown on, and of course she makes a dorky face.

Claire did NOT want to wait outside, She was worried we would miss them calling us. I tried to explain we had time, but she insisted we go back in. I really didn’t want to go back in because the waiting are is small and there were a lot lf people. Oh well, we went back in.

I clicked pictures inside while we waited. Claire asked about every 30 seconds when it would be her turn. LOL!

More pictures while waiting. It was next to impossible to get any of the dresses. People were hoarding around them and it was a tight squeeze in there, so I kind of gave up.

waiting impatiently

I was secretly a little impatient too. LOL!

DH called close to 1:30 asking if we were in yet, and I told him we were still waiting. He said he went for a drive and then drove over to the Richard Petty’s driving experience and was thinking about doing the ride along. I told him to go for it. But he said it wasn;t until 2 and he wasn’t sure he wanted to wait. He did and he did it. He said it was super cool, but didn’t really tell me too much about it, except that he could feel the rubber blowing on him as they went around the track.

About 1:35ish we were called back. Lauren was our FGIT.
She was just OK. I saw others with peppier attitudes and talked more, but I saw worse ones too. Claire picked out the Diva do. I asked her if instead of making the hair look like a bubble (like I had seen in many photos) could she make it more spikey, and she basically said no. She said they had to do it a certain way and if others saw it different then all would ask for that. I was kind of mad about that. I just hate the bubble look. She did say she would try not to bubble it as much. (which I think she totally forgot).

She asked Claire what color of hair extension she wanted, and what does my kid pick….PINK! I said I didn’t think they had pink, but sure enough the do! UGH!

We also met the photopass guy and I let him know we had pre bought the CD. I think he kept confusing us with the people next to us though. He mentioned to them a couple of times about the CD, and they had no clue what he was talking about, so each time I reminded him it was me. LOL! At the time I didn’t think he got that many of Claire and was a bit disappointed. But when I looked at the pictures online I see that he really did take a lot. Much more than what my sister got taken in January. He did miss a lot of the makeup shots though, so I am glad I was there too. His are MUCH better though.


I'll post more when I get them edited.

I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. I hope DD doesn't find out that she can get pink extensions.
