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

[wdwlver]

Can you take your own photos and videos while our child is getting done? If so, is there anywhere you are not allowed to take your own photos? I want to make sure if we are going to do it that we can capture the moment but with our own camera.

Yes you can take pictures and videos, I took a ton last summer. Disney's photographer there too but it's not an issue.

How strict are they with the 3year old rule?
Is there something I could do for my almost 2 y/o at the time of the trip?
I'm not sure when we would if ever go back and I would love to do this for her (me)

They are pretty strict. You could take her to the Harmony Barbershop though.

We are going to WDW in July and have an appt. at BBB. My daughter has been saving up all year for this treat and I am worried they will not be able to work with her hair. She is bi-racial, she has pretty thick hair and it almost touches her waistband. We will have it treated 2 weeks before we leave so it will be at its most manageable but I am still worried. Do I have anything to be concerned about? I have been looking for pics of girls that might have similar hair but have been unsuccessful. Thanks!

Honestly don't be concerned. They work miracles i there. My daughter has very kinky curly hair (thanks to my husband). They were able to pull hers up and it looked great. They used a ton of gel in her hair though, but she looked adorable

For anyone who has done both DTD and MK BBB - How are they different? Is one better than the other in terms of services, photo ops, etc? Trying to decide which one to do for dd.

Here is the newest thread that has picture. I took the pictures back in February, and tried to get all of the dresses they had out at the stores at the time (along with the accessory wall).

At the time they did not have any Anna or Elsa dresses, but I have heard that they have them sporadically now. If you are interested in either of these I would call them ahead of time (at least a few days) and see if they can hold one for you if you want it. The did that for me when DD wanted Tiana when it was hard to come by.

They are strict on the 3-year-old rule, and for the PP asking about their 2-year-old, they will happily sprinkle him/her with pixie dust and do the "may all your wishes come true" saying.

Both offer the exact same services. IMO the MK location looks a bit more special and offers better photo backgrounds. To my DD, the castle location was a bit more magical. She loved that she was inside Cinderella castle.

I noticed on the website that it says to arrive 60 minutes before your appt. Is this necessary? Our appt isn't until 4:30, which is only an hour before their last appt. I'm thinking that they may be running behind anyway. HOWEVER, this is my first experience w/the boutique, so I will be the first to admit that I could be assuming incorrectly. Can anyone advise?

My other question is re: travel time, using Disney's public transportation. Does anyone know how long it takes to get from Animal Kingdom to Downtown Disney?

We will be coming from a table meal in Animal Kingdom & want to make sure I am allowing enough time for everything.

Itinerary FYI
1:35 Tusker House- Animal Kingdom
4:30 Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique- Downtown Disney

Thanks in advance!

I just decided I want to get do BBB for our nieces as gifts for being flower girls at our wedding in October but the MK location has no availability, do people cancel reservations, should I continue to check?

I'm not sure why it says that, but they want you there 15 minutes before your appointment.

Yes, people do cancel - especially as the date gets closer. There is a credit card guarantee, so epsecially check 1,2,3, 4 days out etc... Getting multiple sittings at the same time will be more of a trick, but you might be able to get some close together. I have had better luck getting cancellations at the DTD location, but keep trying. Since it's a phone number, you may have to try multiple times a day as well.

What time do the phone lines open up at 180 days for MK BBB?

Is phone the only way to make a reservation?

I just read on another thread that there is a new Aurora dress available at BBB. Has anyone seen this?

The one there last Friday 5/16 was long sleeves (that very light see through material. Not sure that it was new.

 

[disneyshea]

Sorry if this has already been asked, but how do you carry/store your dress if your appt is later in the morning? Our appt is at 11:40 so we will be riding and touring before our appt. Will they let you drop off your dress at the boutique ahead of time?

Anyone know if the parks still carry the earrings that are dangly Mickey heads that are a perfect match to the Mickey clip they put in the back of the princess bun style? We lost ours and would love to be able to replace them when we go in August!!!
