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

I'm sending you pixie dust vibes for that!

Ours will be a non-EMH day, and since you sound like you've done it this way before, I have a question. With our appt being at 8am, how early will we actually be able to get in to walk over there? I've heard these early mornings are perfect opportunities for taking pictures on a relatively empty Main Street.

We got there around 7:30 the last time we did this,but they didn't let us in until around 7:55. Still, there was plenty of time for some pictures on Main Street. Don't miss this great opportunity! So you'll have to have her hair done and looking decent for pictures before the BBB appt. There WILL be photopass photographers out already, so have them take some too...

But don't dawdle either. Things can get backed up getting everyone checked in at the same time. You want to get get going pretty quickly if you want to be done and at Rope Drop at the castle at 9!

We have done BBB twice, and it was great, but it did seem to take a really long time, even with early AM appts.

You're going to have a great time! And you'll be glad you got the earlier appt so you can play in Fantasyland before your special lunch!

We had an 8:10 appointment and got through the gates about 7:50ish. We snapped a few pics and our appointment was done about 8:35-8:40. Then we took lots of pics with the photopass photogs while waiting for rope drop.

Next trip I'm planning to do CP at 8:05. Hoping for it!

we have never been to the park first thing when it opens. can you tell me what the rope drop thing is? it sounds fun! I am so nervous now that they are starting this online ADR thing that I won't get the reservations that I want. Can you book BBB online too?

If you finish at CRT or BBB before park opening, they will hold you back behind a rope on the back side of the castle. I haven't been there at park opening, but have been told they sometimes blow bubbles or a character might be there as they count down and let the rope drop for you to enter fantasyland.

My understanding is that BBB will NOT be online. So if online dining is up for the day around 3 AM, you can get up, make your dining ADR's, then get up in time to call in at 7 AM to make your BBB appt.

Aren't we all glad this is so much more convenient.........

Is a 2 year old to little for this?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they have a minimum age of at least 3....

 

[jenseib]

The minimum age is 3.
Where are you guys seeing this about online ADR's?

Check on the "Disney Restaurant" boards. There has been wild speculation about this for a long time, and it's finally happening.

Travel Agents rolled out this week, and can now make online ADR's. It is supposedly opening to the public next week.

I make my ADR's in late June for our week long trip in Sept/Oct. Of course, I'm VERY skeptical because Disney's computer systems have a reputation for crashing a lot.

Of course never mind that they are opening it to the public JUST as people are starting to enter their window for Free Dining.....

I thought it sounded great, but it appears that the Travel Agents have been able to access the day's ADR's sometime in the wee hours of the morning, around 3 AM. So it appears that to get first crack at it, one would have to be up REALLY early..... But BBB won't be online (from what I hear) so I will then have to be BACK up at 7 AM for first crack at that.......

Stay tuned.....

I think I found it, but it's on the Rumors board.

I think I found it, but it's on the Rumors board.

I'm sure it's been on the rumors board for a long time. But it is past rumor for travel agents already as it went live 2 days ago.

I guess it's still technically rumor for the rest of us, but think that is changing very soon, as early as Monday.......

I just wish the BBB was included too........... Maybe soon??????

I like knowing my BBB time when I make my CRT ADR's. I'm sure others do too....

This might be somewhere else on this thread but at the beginning I think the hours are wrong. I called Disney today and the CM told me DTD location was 9-7 and CP was 805-6.

I was originally wanting to book CRT at a time before the park opens but now I think we want to try and get in BBB first thing. So what time should I book CRT for? I don't want these two things to take up our whole AM in the MK!! Any suggestions? Plus, I think I'll have to book CRT first to make sure I get it, but then I have no guarantee that I'll get an early BBB appointment! Is the BBB appointment as hard and competitive to get as CRT?

 

[jenseib]

I would say that CRT is the hardest of anything to get. I would book that first. I do think though that most of you AM will be doing those two things.
I would try for lunch at CRt and BBB for as early as you can get.
Time of year will make a difference too.

We just did BBB at 8:05 and CRT at 9:30 on 5/3. It worked out perfectly. My 3yo twins had their appt, then we went to Exposition Hall for a photo shoot and had time to get back to CRT for our 9:30 ADR. I would highly recommend doing it this way!

 

[mom2rtk]

I'm a big fan of doing BBB first thing, then doing some rides in Fantasyland, maybe find the Fairy Godmother herself behind the castle for pictures, then on to CRT for lunch. That's what I'm hoping for on my daughter's birthday in September!

Keep in mind that dining reservatios are going to be online soon, but word is that you will still have to call in for BBB.....

are the dresses at MK the same as DTD?
does anyone have a pic of Snow White dress?
my DD3 really wants to be snow white for the day but i'm worried it'll be too hot?!?

thank you!

You might want to consider letting her wear it, but something cooler to change into for outdoors in the heat. She can wear it in the BBB, take some pics, change for some rides, then change back if you go to CRT or visit the princesses in the judge's tent.
