We are going in march and I know my middle dd will want Ariels ballgown...do they still have it or should I pick it up somewhere else.

This is our first time doing BBB. When I called to make the reservation I told the CM we had dinner reservations at CRT at 5:35 and she assured me a 4:30 appt for the crown package would allow plenty of time...is this true?

We will also have photo pass for the first time so I want to be sure I have enough time to do the photo session afterwards!

I would try for an earlier appt so you have plenty of time, just to be safe. I don't thin I'd want to play it that close.

I think that is cutting it too close. They often run 30 min late at BBB. I'd be too stressed. I would leave 2 hrs in btwn.

I just booked this for my dd for January.

She is going to love it

Does anyone know if she gets to keep the make up kit shown on the first page?

 

[spel]

Yes, the child keeps the makeup kit. It's cute!

I've been noticing that the big package I selected when I booked about a month ago, while it was initially 189...its now variable up to 250??? Can anyone tell me what costs THAT much more? I mean what does $60 more bucks get me?

 

[Mom2Luci]

Just a bit of a warning after our experience...If your DD has a lot of thick hair, don't do the princess hairdo. Our FGIT assured us it would be no problem, but it didn't even hold an hour. They use the clear plastic ponytail holders and they started breaking within an hour of us leaving BBB. It looked great while it lasted, but I had hoped to make it through the MNSSHP with the style intact.

1) We have BBB appt for Dec and my daughter has become more & more adamant that she doesn't like princesses so I'm thinking she'll go for the diva look. Trouble is, she's also a bit stressed with major hair changes. Is it possible that they could leave a step OUT and not pull her hair all the way up or not tease up/rat the colorful poofy thing in her hair so that the "transformation" is a bit less complete?
2) Our appt is also at 8:15am on parade taping day so I'm worried about the crowds. I know they'll let us in "early" but I also hear that the parade audience will be let in even earliler. We're staying at the Art of Animation & are planning on taking Disney transportation to the MK. Any suggestions for what time we should leave to get there on time?

 

[jenseib]

I know for a fact they will not change the style. I asked for less poof one year and they flat out told me no it wasn't allowed.

Hello this will be the first year my daughter will be able to go bbb. I want to go to the Castle breakfast -how much time should I leave for the bbb before breakfast? Thanks

You could do the courtyard one instead. They do little twists through half their hair and pull it all together into a pony and then clip in 4 colored hair strands. It's fun and nice looking, esp for older girls. They also get a t-shirt, tutu skirt and a backpack with the package.

What are the chances of getting an appointment Nov. 6? Called and there is currently no availability. Should I just hope that someone cancels?

We were there last week and I was only able to get appointments for the two girls two different days at Downtown Disney. Called every day for two weeks prior and finally the day before our first day was able to get one appointment at 11:00 at MK. When we checked in at MK they were able to take my other niece as a walk up. I was shocked, but happy! So There are definitely times they take walk ups.

I would keep calling. I just got a spot for 11/13 and I've been calling daily for a week. Still planning on trying to change it to MK (currently at DTD) but they do open up.

How much is the courtyard package? Is it offered at both locations?

Thanks!

Wait, I'm confused. I thought the courtyard package was just a package level with more add ons after the level with the nails (which I think is the one we have). don't all the levels offer 3 different hairstyles? the princess bun, pop princess, and diva? if there's a ponytail one, that's the one for us!

DD7 got the courtyard last Mon on our trip. I will post a pic later, but yes, they wrap the hair in rows, and pull it back in a ponytail. Dd has a shoulder length bob and they had no problems pulling it back. She got to pick 2 different colors of hair stands that they added in. Pink, purple & blue were the choices. It was $90 for that package, but again, you get a tshirt & tutu, along with hair, makeup, nails, sash, & a little backpack. DD liked that hairstyle the best, then was sold on the shirt & skirt. She's out of the princess phase, so again, a good alternative for older girls. Her appt was a 4pm, but by the time she went to bed that night, she complained about the "lumps" in her hair as she laid her head on her pillow, so we pulled it out :-(. She also had alot of gel stuck to her hairline that took a couple of days to get out, and she mentioned several times it was sore where the gel was stuck. She enjoyed it, but I don't think she *loved* the experience. If we do BBB again (not sure if we will...maybe pirate league if anything), I would certainly try for an appt earlier in the day to get more time out of the hairdo.

There is one specific hairdo for the courtyard. You could always buy the tshirt ($15) to wear with another hairstyle, but you can't get that hairstyle with any other package (and I don't think you can buy the tutu separately).

 

[delmar411]

Exactly. The courtyard is an outfit and hairstyle. Both are mandatory for the package.

This may seem like a goofy question...but, can you go into BBB and buy costumes and other items without an appointment, or are those items for makeover customers only? If you can go in and buy, do they sell the makeup palette?
