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

[EeyoreGurl]

Hi! First time poster here, but I had to jump in. We are at WDW right now (we leave tomorrow ) my daughter had her appt at BBB a couple days ago and she got the rapunzel dress. They were limited on sizes, because they are selling out everywhere, but they had hers. They didn't have the makeover with the wig, but that was OK because she wanted the bun with the tiara anyways.

The dress is very cute and didn't feel itchy at all. They didn't have shoes, crown or wand for it, but they just gave her the crown and wand from Aurora's set up and some multicolored sparkly shoes and she was as happy as can be!

Hopefully they will have everything by the time you go. Have Fun!!!!!!

I just got off the phone with a fiary godmother in training and while it was like pulling teeth to get a list of the options, she did say Rapunzel is an option as of now. I hope she is here to stay.

Me: "what princesses are available?"
godmother: "what princesses are you wanting?"
Me: "we don't know, but I want to start dicussing with my daughter so she doesn't have to descide at list minute, so who is available"
godmother: "all of them"

Ok?????

so i started naming them off asking if they had more then one dress like cinderella's wedding dress, etc.
I got out of her:
cinderella
belle
ariel
aurora
tiana
rapunzel
jasmine
snow white.

after i got those, it wasn't worth my time trying to get her to list them anymore. A little frustrating, but whatever.

so in short, as of next month they should have rapunzel.

There is really no way to call and talk to a FGIT that I know of. You most likely just talked to a CM who books it. And sadly they are clueless. The go from a script.
I had heard that the Rapunzel dress was going to be phased out in Jan. They might have kept it or they might have a lot left so they are still selling them.
For those REALLY wanting rapunzel dress, I would suggest if you find one online to buy it and take it, just to be safe.

Will the Rapunzel option just be the wig? My daughter wants to be made up like Rapunzel but how do they do the whole speal with just a wig? If it is something like a hair extension then it is worth it

I don't beleive they have a rapunzel wig at all. I have heard some talk about bringin their own that they bought a the Disney store.

Hi there,

A fellow wishtripper sent me over here. My 3-year-old daughter will be going (hopefully!) to Disney for her Make-a-Wish trip and I know she would LOVE to go to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to get all dazzled and sparkled up since she ADORES the princesses, but from what I'm reading, the hairstyle is the main focus of the 'makeover' and Brooke's hair is rather short. (She lost it all as a result of chemo--she is now cancer-free!--and although it is growing back quickly, it's still a buzz cut! Not even long enough for barrettes yet.) Admittedly, by the time we go, she will have more hair to work with but I doubt it will be long enough to pin up into a bun with a tiara.

Do the Fairy Godmothers at BBB do anything different for girls with short hair? Do they offer some sort of different package (such as makeup and nails and sash, only? or the makeup and dress combo only?) Do they charge the same amount even if they can't do anything with the guest's hair besides spike it up? Is the experience of BBB still worth the price even if they can't give her a hairstyle?

As much I'd love to take her, I don't know that I can justify the expense of a BBB package if all they offer is hairstyling and she can't have anything done.

Anyone encounter the same situation? Suggestions? Would love to hear it. Thanks so much.

The hair has to be able to be pulled into a ponytail for all the styles. Even if it is a small numb of one it will work. But they have to be able to have a small ponytail/braid in order to use the hairpeices or make the bun. They do have an option of just glitter and gel for short hair. It used to be called the cool dude, but I think that has been changed. But I have seen some girls with really short hair getting that done. It's kind of more of a boys style, but with short hair on a girl it is fun too.

How much are the Dress at BBB? Just comparing to ebay, which seem incredibly expensive. (Tangled)

Does the crown come with the Crown Package if you get the princess hair-do (the one with the bun) or do you need to buy it separately?

 

[fterie4u]

What all is included with the $189.95 price? At what point in the process does it start adding up past that? Once the accessories are picked?
We are trying to decide if we should just bring our own dress or do everything there.

I'm not sure what exactly comes with it, but its dress,shoes, crown , wand and photopackage (not sure if anything else or not). Each thing is rung up to come up with that price. If you chose not to get something, the price goes down, if you get something more it goes up.

The Tiara comes with the bun hairstyle, no matter which package you chose.

Has anyone been in 2011 and can say if they do or do not have a Rapunzel gown for purchase.

I know they had a Rapunzel hair do in 2010, but we are interested in the gown.

Thanks so much.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question specifically, but maybe this will help:
FGMIT can only do certain styles - they're not allowed to deviate. However, maybe they're allowed some leeway in certain circumstances??? I do know that there are some hair-pieces they can utilize - maybe your daughter could use one of these?
As far as I know, all the packages include the hair.
I hope someone who works at WDW will come along and answer your question more authoritatively. Maybe you could call and ask someone at BBB?
In the meantime, please let me tell you how wonderful it is that your daughter is now healthy! That is a priceless gift - as only a parent like you can realize!
I'm sending you much pixie dust and many good wishes!!!

Thank you! Yes, we couldn't have asked for a better way to start the new year than to hear she was cancer-free! Well, if her wish is granted and we do end up going to WDW, I will definitely call to make an appointment and inquire further. Thanks for the info (and good wishes!), anyways.

They had the Rapunzel gown in HS last month when we were there. Check out the Disney Store online too. I personally like that Rapunzel dress better then the one in the park.

We were at BBB at MK on Mar 5 this year.

They did NOT have the Rapunzel dress there. However, they DID have the Rapunzel wig. It was a wig, not just the braid, and the wig did have her long hair in a braid with flowers in it. It was very nice.

Hi everyone! Quick question for you. My dd will be 3 in December when we're going to Disney World and she is soo excited about doing the bibbidi bobbidi boutique. The only thing is, she has fine curly hair that snags and knots something awful and she fusses like crazy when you brush her hair. She wants the hairdo with the extensions and I was wondering if I would be able to put her hair up in a ponytail before we go and then all they would have to do is braid it and put the extensions on. Do you think this would be OK?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if they carry the Rapunzel dress at the Disney Store in DTD?

Thanks!

Thanks so much! I think I will end up buying one before we go as a special treat and she can pick something else in the BBB.

She wants to be Rapunzel at some point, so much so that she's been growing her curly blond hair. It's past her little bum

I dont know the answer, but I will say my girls (both) have the same kind of hair and brushing their hair is a pain in my butt!

Anyway, my BBB plan is to give them a bath that morning and extra condition their hair and get every little tangle combed out. Then pull the whole shebang up in a pony, once we get to BBB I will remove the ponytail holder and hopefully it will have minimal tangles.

Also, my girls dont fuss and cry when someone else (even daddy) touches their hair, so my hope is that when the FGIT touches their hair they will act like angels

There is a very particular ponytail placement and look that goes into each style, so they will have to do the ponytail themselves. I had parents warn me all the time that their girls "have thin/tangle prone hair and that they hate their hair being brushed." I think, out of all of them, I only had 2-3 in 5 months I was a FGIT that really cried like crazy with me.

There is so much stuff going on at the BBB and the FGITs are trained to take tangles out in the most gentle way possible. A lot of FGITs will tell them it's a magic comb which usually works out well too if they're really scared of hurting. Maybe if you tell her there are magic, "no-ouch" combs beforehand it'll help put her at ease as well.
Also, if a little princess is still fussing, usually the other FGITs will pop by to say hello and distract her til the pony is up ^^ She'll be in good hands, just sit back, relax and enjoy her transformation

HI All!

We are heading to the world this October and will be going to MNSSHP. I would love for my daughter to have ther BBB appointment later in the day so she is all set and dressed for the Halloween Party. Does it get really crowded and off schedule the later in the day you make your BBB appointment? I had orginally thought of going first thing in the morning. THOUGHTS and experiences??
THANKS!
Renee

My dd has shorter chin length hair. Does anyone know what sort of style could be done at BBB with shorter hair? I've always seen the girls who have been there with their hair in a tight bun but that wouldn't work for my dd.

 

[Singledad]

do the prices listed at the first post (which still shows cool dude and not the knight's package... so this is why I am asking) include tax and are accurate? I am trying to get a solid look at what I will have to have for the crown package. (We are bringing her own dress)

Yes, those are accurate prices and no they don't include tax.

Official site for reference: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tours-and-experiences/bibbidi-bobbidi-boutique/

The crown is hair/makeup/nails, but you are welcome to add anything you'd like to make a custom "order" in case she really wants a Belle Crown or shoes or something like that.
