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

[Singledad]

Can I call and book her a boutique appointment even tho we haven't made official Disney reservations yet? I know you have to give your credit card number which is fine, is there a deposit associated with the booking? Will they let me book without disney reservations? I just want to try and get a good appointment time.

Second question what is best breakfast lunch or dinner with the princesses? I haven't yet found that info on the website on what is available when etc...

Yes, you can book. it has nothing to do with reservations for a hotel or anything else. They took my CC info but there was no deposit taken. I believe they will only charge my CC if we 'no call no show' as in, we do not cancel ahead of time, and do not show up.

the most common (and what I view as the best) for a princess meal, is doing Cinderella's royal table after your BBB in the castle. So, like for me and my DD this year, we have a 9am appt at BBB located in the castle, and breakfast reserved in the castle the same morning (10:15am). CRT (cinderella's royal table) is hard to get reservations for and you do have to pre-pay. (you are charged when you make the reservation.) other princess meals that I see recommended is Akershus (located in the Norway area of Epcot). I've never been to this one so do not have first hand information for you, outside of the fact that if you are not already planning to enter Epcot that day you will have to have a park hopper ticket.

a third option is 1900 park fare located in the grand floridian. the dinner has Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine (stepmother), and Anastasia and Drisella. (step sisters). I hear great things about this one. (this is a buffet)

hope I may have answered your questions.

Same here ~ when we were there last week I asked at several different places and all of them told me they were sold out everywhere on property. When we got home, I lucked out and found a size 10 at our local Disney Store. I would have prefered the Parks one but my DD will be just as thrilled.

LOL! I bought the Disney Store one online too when we got home. I actually like the store one a little better then the parks one. DD will love it, but will have to wait awhile to wear it, she broke her arm Monday night after we got home. Will be in a cast for 3 weeks at least. Broke my heart, but better then than BEFORE our trip!!

THANK YOU for the pics of the skirts. I think my dd wants one of those instead. I was thinking of making a shirt or tank top to go with it, but I don't know what color to do. She will most likely pick jasmine or ariel. I think one of the ones pictured is jasmine. I wonder if Ariel is similar colors? Anybody have a suggestion on a shirt color? Can anybody see how much that price tag says?

Can Rapunzel hair be added to one of the BBB styles?

DD has the hair, found it at the local Disney Store that just reopened yesterday

Unfortunately the available Rapunzel dress sizes were limited (up to 4, then size 10, nothing in-between). Store manager said that the supplier doesn't have any of the other sizes and doesn't know when they will get any more

We still have lots of time and are hoping that more sizes come in. (We'll be phoning every other day to ask if they're in )

Sounds like Rapunzel is going to be popular, I wish they'd add her attire to the BBB. My girls are doing the whole package and will pick whatever they want that day, but my oldest LOVES Rapunzel and I think I will attempt to find a dress and sneak it into the resort closet as a surprise. Luckily she naturally has the hair, white blond past her bum, so we dont need a wig.

I called and booked V in for BBB!!!!! We don't even have disney reservations yet nor is it 100% that we are going, I just picked my ideal day to go to magic kingdom and do BBB. I wante to be sure we got one of the first appointments of the day. I picked 8:30. I could have done 8, but i just didn't think with V normally getting up at home at 730 and her being tired from the day before, plus getting organized and to the park etc.... I could make it by 8. I may change and just take her in her PJ's lol. I just don't want to be wasting too much of the day in case they are behind. We also will do CRT breakfast after. I am pretty sure we will be staying at pop century, anyone know the travel time to get from POP to BBB at MK? What time does BBB open?

I am going to let V pick out her dress at BBB. Do they have all the options there (unless they are out of stock) ? or are there limitations?

 

[nannye]

Hmmm, I'm rethinking and will change the appointment to 8 am. What time would she be done at with the crown package, (approximate- I'd think 9 am to be safe) plus pictures.... I want to book CRT for right after, but what time would be safe to make the reservation? and how long can I expect to be at CRT?????

Just sent you a PM.

Thanks, I replied

Does anyone know if they have Rapunzel? And if they do, what does it include as in accessories, besides the shoes? TIA.

I did not see rapunzel at the castel location this week.

CRT could possibly be already booked. Do it NOW. It doesn't hold many people and can book right up on the 180 day mark

yes i'm going to call today and change my BBB appointment to 8 am and book CRT. If I book it, can i change the reservation day or time if needed (if available?)

If I book BBB at 8 am what time should I book CRT?

you need to allow at least an hour. as for the picture package, you can actually go back and do that AFTER eating. this saves a bit of time if anything is running behind. also, keep in mind that CRT is just a few footsteps from BBB. so you have zero travel time in between.

also, your going to really love that early appt because you will get into the park before it opens! pictures in an empty park ROCK!

 

[nannye]

Ha ha I'm nervous being able to get her there that early. We'll need to be at BBB at 745 am (on a normal day she wakes up between 7 and 7:30)
If I book her appointment at 8 am and then we head to CRT for 9 am would that be enough time and we'll do pics after if needed? After hearing how long CRT can take, I just don't want to waste the whole morning. especially if we end up staying for only 1 night.

personally I don't view doing BBB and CRT a 'waste' of a morning. esp for a little girl who will love it. last year I did only CRT at 9:15am (didn't even know about BBB) and we had one awesome day at MK. and we only had the one day as well. it wasn't a waste at all!

if you are worried about getting her there on time, I would think about putting aside the money to take a taxi that morning rather than using the bus system. (if you're staying on property, I think you said you were not, but I just can't remember offhand.) then you don't have the stress of worrying if you miss a bus or if they are 'running behind'.

as for BBB at 8am and CRT at 9, I have been told by multiple CM's that that should work out. (and mine is a bit later than yours 9am BBB and 10am CRT) so you should be fine. if nothing else, as I said they are truly just steps away from each other (across a hallway) so if her BBB is running longer you can step over to CRT and let them know. I doubt you will have to do that, but I know I am glad to know I can if I need to.

you'll be so happy seeing the joy on her face!

No we'll be staying on property, probably at Pop Century. I could drive tho. If I drive, do I pay for parking?

!

I should say that we may only be staying 1 night so in terms of wasting the morning I just mean spending so long at breakfast that she misses out on lots of other things.

Do the BBB. Get the photos. Do Fantasyland. Then have the first open slot of the day for lunch if you can get it. It makes for a great first half of the day.

If you stay at the resorts you get free parking, but MK is the one park that you are better off with the bus usually because of the way parking is there. The buses take you right to the entrance, if you drive, you have to take a ferry or the monorail to the entrance. I always allowed an hour to get to whereever I was going by bus on our last trip. So if my ADR was at 8:00am I planned to be at the bus stop at 7:00am, this was a POP. As for the CRT Ressie - you will have no trouble getting to your ressie at 9:00am with an 8:00 appt - but you will probably want to do the pictures after breakfast because the photoshoot is not at the castle. I'm not sure where it is now - but it was at the front of the park when my DD did it. They give you the extra makeup so you can touch up before pictures. That's what we did.
