I would love if they added Rapunzel hair as one of the choices of hairstyles.
I know this is wishful thinking, but I can dream.
Has anyone seen the Rapunzel dress at the DTD BBB?
My DD only wants to be Rapunzel, but she like to pick her dress out at the park.

and no they don't include tax.
...
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.

Any idea what tax is in MK? and really glad to know that we might be able to snag shoes... we can never find the right princesses in the size she is currently wearing, and I am scared to order them online, as I find different styles to fit differently.

Stride Rite has a new line of Disney princess shoes that are wayy better than the plastic ones Disney sells

I'm not sure of her size, but be aware that Disney sizes of shoes don't go very high...at least in the past they haven't.

Does BBB have lots of Ariel costumes and accessories? She loves Ariel (it is her Make-a-Wish dream to meet her!) and will lean toward anything Ariel, but I know that the Ariel dresses aren't as popular as traditional Cinderella, Aurora or Belle and not as 'new' as Tiana and Rapunzel, so I'm just wondering what kind of options there are.

My daughter already has a mermaid costume that I made for her last Halloween, and I know she'd prefer an Ariel ballgown if we get the costume package. Do they only have the green one, or the pink one as well? What about her wedding gown or her blue town dress? And do they have Ariel shoes and crowns?

Thanks.

Last I knew, they only had the greenish dress...I think they might have the mermaid costume too, but can't remember for sure.

We will have to take a day trip out to Stride Rite, but I don't think mine carries the size needed now...

I'm not sure of her size, but be aware that Disney sizes of shoes don't go very high...at least in the past they haven't.

yeah, she nearing the 'end of the line' in shoe sizes. Our trouble isn't finding ones in her size, it is finding ones in her size, with the right princess/colors.

Because she is red-head she tends to go for a lot of ariel stuff, but can seem to only find either: too small, way too large, or something that is the wrong colors to match the dress. hopefully BBB we will have some magic.

if not, she can still wear her 'walking' shoes.

My DD only wants to be Rapunzel, but she like to pick her dress out at the park.

We were at BBB MK last week and I asked at BBBDTD - no Rapunzel hair anywhere. Sold out till April - maybe - according to the CM. No dresses either. I was kicking myself I hadn't brought a dress from the Disney store. DD ended up a perfectly happy Ariel!

I found the costumes very limited - Ariel was only the mermaid or the green gown. No other choices. The rest had only one dress - Tiana, Tink, Snow White, Belle, Jasmine and Cinderella. That was it. No Rapunzel.
They had lots of Ariel crowns and wands. Shoes were limited in size - my DD decided on the sparkly flats as there were no Ariel in her size. They were comfy so that was a good choice.

DD met Ariel at Cinderella's Table. The Princesses were all fabulous - enjoy your trip!

 

[mom2rtk]

Seriously........if your daughter has her heart set on a certain princess........... save yourself some heartache and bring one with you! It's a little hassle, but not bad. They fare quite well in a zip loc bag with the air squished out.......and weigh next to nothing that way.

It's pretty clear that they don't feel obligated to keep all the selection up in every size, so just know that going in......

Thanks for the information! I don't think she would mind other crowns and wands, but I'm pretty certain the dress will have to be Ariel's! Glad to hear they have at least the green gown. That pink ballgown is hard to find! Looks like they used to have it online, but it's sold out. Too bad, I would bought that one and brought it with us.

That's a good idea. If I can find an Ariel ballgown, I'll just pick it up and take it with us. Thanks for the suggestion!

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

Thanks so much, that sounds like a good plan! I used my straightener on her hair once for fun because she wanted "mommy hair" and it didn't knot after that hardly at all until I washed it again so maybe I will try that.

 

[kiernanandliamsmom]

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

Ah thank you so much for answering! You definitely put me at ease! I just want the experience to be wonderful for her as she is looking forward to it so much!

Last time we did this we got the big package. But it came with things we didn't need. Like the shoes and wand. Will they just adjust the pakcage price if you don't get those things. I also could do without the photo op this time also. I like the ones they do in the Boutique it self but the posed ones I could skip this time.

So would the do the package at
55.00 add the dress and the crown? Or do I have to get the entire package?

Thanks

 

[hardingk]

Has anyone flown with the wands in a carry on? I don't think they have liqud in the handle, I just want to make sure, not that it is taken away from DD in the airport.

Stride Rite has a new line of Disney princess shoes that are wayy better than the plastic ones Disney sells

We were at Stride Rite yesterday and dd picked out the Cinderella shoes and Ariel sandals. They were $40 a pair, but buy one get one 1/2 off. Plus I had a $5 coupon. We got home and I checked the size and they are 1/2 a size smaller then what she has at home already (the snow white ones). They fit her, but I am afraid they may be too tight. I called the store to ask for the next size up, but they said they only come in whole sizes which I am afraid will be too big). So we will probabaly have to return them.

Target also carries Disney Princess shoes. Sometimes they are on sale for $8 but are about $15 regular price. They are better than the ones in the park, but not made as well as the Stride Rite ones.

They did this for us last Sept. Our DD did not want the crown or the wand, so they removed them from the pkg. She chose Sleeping Beauty and I think with tax it came to $170 something.

Nope, don't worry about it, just let them know at check-in that you'd like to do the crown package with a dress and crown added instead and they'll get her all set up.

Woohoo! Just snagged an appointment for May 17th at 6:10 in the castle for two little girls! Just wanted to share my excitement.


Also, what are the odds of them taking our appointment early if we show up early? Is it usually busy toward the end of the day? The reason I'm asking is because we have a dinner ressie at 1900 PF later that evening and I don't want to cut it too close.
