I personally would bring you own. It will be a pain to get out and og find a place that sells them. With the time it will take you, and if you don't have a car on top of that, it will not be worth going out . You'd just might as well buy one at the park. Also Walmart and Target do carry some princess dresses, but they are pretty much one size fits all and might not be right for your DD and they are not as nice. Now that being siad, some are cute, but some aren't. We have a cinderella one I got a walmart that is very cute. But they are going to most likely run $20. Also the selection may be limited.
If you don't want to bring them all, then have her pick out her favorite to bring along. We brought several dresses along, and that is mostly what DD wore hte entire trip. She really didn't wear "normal clothes" much at all. I brought a few and washed if needed for all of us.

Hi y'all
We are going to BBB for the first time in August and I am wondering about the costumes.I LOVE the full *I guess deluxe ones*.Do you buy a pettiskirt/hoopskirt to go under them or are they really that full?
DD is wanting Sleeping Beauty and I can't find any that are as full as the Cinderella with the gold or the red Belle one.
Where can I find them at? Do they have them at the BBB or are these ones that y'all bought and took with you?


Thanks so much for the info

Some of the deluxe costumes have netting built in and are poofy all on their own.

I make all my daughter's costumes, so she always wears (or I carry) a hoop skirt in with us!

The ones at Disney are pretty full, though I think the older ones are fuller. We got the red belle at the Disney store, they don't sell it in the parks. We also have the old version of the pink Aurora (from the park) and I beleive it's fuller than the current one. We never did any petticots at all, but you could if you want it even fuller, but it will make it hotter too.

My daughter is wanting to go to BBB while we are there in September. I'm curious if they will be able to fix her hair though. It is bout an inch longer than chin length in a stacked bob. (will be a little bit longer when we go.) Do you think they will be able to pull it up? Does anyone have exprience with shorter hair and BBB?

In 2007, my DD had a short stacked bob do. They were able to pull her hair up. Honestly I was amazed. They used lots of gel and pins but she had the bun with the tiara like a child with long hair.

Hope this helps!

I'm not sure when you're going in August, but the new selection of Disney Store Halloween costumes generally comes out in August. I'd keep an eye on the web site.

Did you check the site already for leftovers from last year? The deluxe Belle and Cinderella were very pretty. They had a couple of Sleeping Beauties that were nice too.... Just don't know if they are gone now......

And don't miss Ebay. You can find lots of stuff there. It's just hard to know how full the skirts are without seeing them.....

Planning on taking my 9 year old DD this Sept. (it's a mother daughter trip including my mom, so 3 of us). It is a quick trip, sept 24th-28th (leaving early AM on the 28th) . We are only going to MK on the 25th for MNSSHP,
then Epcot 26th and a waterpark 27th! So planning on doing BBB on the 25th before MNSSHP, what would be more realistic? A: Doing BBB in Am at DTD then going to 1900 PF for a late lunch, or B: Going to MK for 4pm (earliest you can get in for MNSSHP) BBB for after 4pm and then plan fro CRT dinner at 530pm! Really want this trip to be low key and relaxing! Was planning to go to DTD on the night of arrival, and spending the day of the 25th at the pool, but I can switch things around a bit! We have eaten at 1900 Park Fare before, but have never eaten at CRT! Just don't no how much time we will have, how long the appointment will be, not planning on doing photo sessions, and bringing own dress and doing 1st package (hair & makeup)! Suggestions??? This short trip is driving me crazy to plan more than our longer trips!

Plan A won't work. 1900 PF doesn't do lunch.

Plan B would work, but if this is your only stop in the MK, why spend it at the boutique???? Why not do BBB in Downtown Disney, then dinner as soon as CRT opens (4 or 4:30, I'm not sure). With a 5:30 dinner, you might not even be done when the party starts. There's too much to do to spend it in a restaurant, even my favorite one!

The dresses are quite full there is a lady on ebay who sell hoop skirts $10 plus shipping but i think the deluxe one is full my daughter had the white deluxe cinderrella was very full.

Where is the best looking Aurora costume from that is nice and full? I just don't like her..LOL I am a Cinderella girl and DD was until just a few weeks ago.And I had visions of a beautiful Cinderella dress for her for the BBB.MAYBE I can compromise.After all this is her Bday gift so I might be able to get her to be made over as Cinderella if we buy a beautiful full one and buy Aurora as a Bday gift
I am trying to tell her that Cinderella is in Florida *where I am from and closest to us* and Aurora is in California..I think it is just because she has a PINK dress.

Thanks again !!

What does the older Aurora look like ?
I love the Cinderella that has the gold look to it...
Is there a white Cinderella one like a wedding one? If so maybe I can convince her to be a wedding Cinderella

On the disneystore.com ? And outlet? I looked there today and they are all sold out.I went to the CM store at Disney back in Feb with a friend who works there and they had all of them for WAY CHEAP but not in DD's size
I will keep looking on the site.
We leave here on Aug 21st.There are a few of the Disney Outlets on the way down too that I can hit up before we get there I guess.
Thanks for the help

Well, this is probably the hardest time of year to find a costume outside the parks. I just checked Disneyshopping.com and they don't have much.

You can still try Ebay, but it's hard to tell how full it will be. If you look there, try putting "deluxe" in the title. They sold a line of deluxe costumes I thought were very pretty and full too.

Keep in mind it's going to be really hot there in August, so bring a comfy change of clothes. Let her keep it on as long as she likes, get TONS of pictures, then let her change to be comfortable. If you visit the princesses in the Judge's Tent, or head to CRT for lunch, have her change back into it. Also be sure to bring comfy shoes.

Keep it fun and she'll want to keep doing it!
