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

[2littleprincesses]

Hi! I have tons of questions about this. I didn't even think about it, but since Libby Lu is now gone and my odd never got to do it, I am rethinking. She would not be a princess type girl, so I don't know what I would have her wear. She is more a hannah montana. My ydd is definitely princess and we have a snow white, cinderella or bell costume I would bring, although her fav is ariel.

1. We are going to MK 3 days 1 day have CP for lunch, 1 day CM for supper and last day we are there CRT breakfast 10:10. The last day would make the most sense, but we have to leave the park at 1 to get to our flight home.

2. It will be August, will their hair melt--ok, not melt, but fall down or droop.
What happens if it rains! Will the costume be too hot?

3. How is the barber on mainstreet compared to BBB? DOes anyone have pics?

4. Is the cost worth it? Do you have to put down a deposit? Can you cancel or how far in advance can you cancel?

5. Also, can you get the crown with one of the other hair dos? Or do you have to get the bun to get the crown?


Thanks for any help!

The last day would make the most sense, but we have to leave the park at 1 to get to our flight home. You could to it anyday - I wouldn't personally wait until the last day. I would pick the day closer to the end and see if it will last to CRT

2. It will be August, will their hair melt--ok, not melt, but fall down or droop.
What happens if it rains! Will the costume be too hot? We went in September last time and DD's hair stayed really well. They use tons of product to keep it in place.

3. How is the barber on mainstreet compared to BBB? DOes anyone have pics?
I can't help you here, we haven't been to the barbershop

4. Is the cost worth it? Do you have to put down a deposit? Can you cancel or how far in advance can you cancel? I thought the experience was more than worth it. (we did the cheapest package and brought a dress from home) I can't remember the exact cancellation policy, but Jensib had to cancel last year and I don't remember saying she still had to pay.

5. Also, can you get the crown with one of the other hair dos? Or do you have to get the bun to get the crown? The crown only comes with the bun, but you can buy it separatly and have the FGIT put it in the other styles.


Thanks for any help!

Hi! I am wondering if the small crown they sale at the Disney store is like the crown at BBB? I have an almost 3 year old and the crown at the Disney store was small and looked like a good size for her, so I got it! But am now wondering if we would like the one at BBB better!

The crown that comes with the Fairytale Princess bun is not real big. You can buy bigger ones, I like the one's that come with the hairstyle almost better though. I think there is a picture of the crown at the start of this thread.

ETA: I picture of DD and her crown.

Beautiful picture! The one I bought at the Disney store is about that size!

We did cancel last year. The offical policy is to cancle I think 24 or 48 hours ahead of time. I think it's 24 though. I think the fee to cancel is $10.00. We got there and it was the last day of our trip, we were flying home later that day. She had been sick the day before, and was tired and over stimulated. She cried when they came up to her and she refused to go back, so I said I guess we'll have to skip it since I didn't want to force her into it and have it not be a pleasant experience. They told me to come back later if she warmed up to the idea. She didn't and we had to leave after a few hours anyways. They never did charge me the fee.

I want to add that we did do BBB this year and very early in the trip. She really enjoyed it this year.

I do know that Disney Store does NOT sell the same stuff as Disney World, but it would be similar.

You won't get charged a cancelation fee if your princess decided not to get her hair done once you're there at the BBB because you still showed up for your appointment.

I am so glad I found this thread. We are going to WDW for the 1st time in September and I have 3 DD's that want to do the BBB. My question is if I make reservations will they do all 3 at one time or 1 after the other? And if we have photo session done will they have to all be photographed together or will they photograph them individually?

You can make the appointsment for the same time, but they wil ltake them as achair opens, so there is no guarentee they will all start at the same time. You can have the photoshoot done with some of all 3 and some individuals. Just ask.

 

[cater00]

Thank you. That is what I thought. I definitely want some pics of them together but also want some individual ones also.

Hello OneTreeHill and all of the other helpful people on this forum ... I am new to the DIS boards so forgive me for all of the repetitiveness of my questions.

I am taking my 4 year old DD to the BBB this upcoming August for the very 1st time. We have decided to go w/ the largest package so that she can get a costume, crown etc. which I think starts at $189.50??? Saw another site that said it starts at over $200 as well so confused as to what it currently is the the largest package.

What I need help figuring out is the following:
1) What exactly do you get for $189.50? I see what it says on the WDW website (you get the hair done, make-up, nails, costume, crown, and shoes) but do you have pictures (or links) of the basic items that are apart of the $189.50 package?
2) What causes the price to go beyond the $189.50? Does it have to do with the costume, crown, and accessories that are picked out?
3) Do you have current pictures and prices of ALL of the costumes and services available at this time for the BBB or at least know of a website with that kind of pics and info?
4) How does Ms. B prices compare in price verses getting a costume over at the BBB in WDW?
5) How do I get in contact with Ms. B to purchase a disney costume from her off of ebay?
6) As a first timer to the BBB, what other things do you think are important to know? Or good questions to ask the FMIT?

I thank all of you for your time - I know many people ask repetitive questions in here, so bless those of you who are patient enough to answer! I look forward to your responses!

Hello fellow Oregonian!!!
I have never done the BBB before but I did pick up a brochure and if I had a scanner I'd just scan it but I don't so I'll type what it says word for word.

Now this is from September 2008 so it looks like the prices are a little different but the same for the purpose of answering you:

"The Castle Package"
Includes hairstyle, nails, shimmering, makeup, imaging package (6x8 and four 4x6 photos with a themed holder), princess gown of choice, crown, wand, shoes and princess sash
$179.95 to $229.95 (plus tax)
Price range determined by the choice of princess costume and shoes


I hope that helps with the price question.

As for what you may need to know, the BBB in MK seems to book up more quickly as does the earlier appointments so if you want to do it at 9AM at MK, you better book as soon as you can

Mrs B is much cheaper, but I was told she doesn't want her info given out right now. She does sell on ebay, but Mrs B is not her username.
The package goes up if you get a deluxe dress, but I don't think they have any delixe dresse out right now. I could be wrong. The package also includes a picture package from a photoshoot, which you can also have all those pics put on your photopass as well.
If you find a dress you like for cheaper, I would go ahead and buy it before you go. The dresses there run about $65ish.

Anyone can do the photoshoot if you do BBB, but if you get the top package, you get a certain number printed out. If you are going to get a photopass CD, you are better off to get a dress ahead because with the CD you have the copyright to the pictures so you can print as many as you want, from anywhere you want. And you can get the whole experience because if you ask, they will put your dress in the changing room and your DD can change at BBB - just like she would if you do the whole package. If you have a Disney Visa - you can get 10% off the dress at World of Disney in DTD too, but not at BBB.

They have tons of accessories besides what is included (septors, purses, hairbrushes) so those would increase the price as well.

My daughter and son were done last Thursday. They did her first, then him in the same chair. For the pictures, they did them both together, and seperates of them both.

Ms B wont sell outside of ebay anymore. She had too many people placing orders and not paying her. Her auctions start out at a great price and she sells the Disney crocs too. Her ebay ID is wantsnneeds4u. I'm going to see if she has new crocs listed right now. Have you guys seen the new black and red athens with Mickey heads!? Those are adorable! I have the orange and green ones but they're so not the right color for Disney. Black and red...definitely perfect!

I'm so upset about Mrs B and that others ruined it for the rest of us. I was given her info awhile ago and have been holding on to it so that I could purchase the dresses I want closer to our trip and I was saving the money to pay for all of the dresses I want at one time. Now what am i going to do?!

 

[amberg@eastlink.ca]

thanks for the pics of the outfits- theyre wonderful!

Maybe message her through Ebay and tell her you're willing to do the transaction through Ebay.
