Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[Chellymouse]

I just would like to post some information for those who seek it:

PRICES are going up June 9th, so for those of you thinking about getting your hair done, or your DD's hair done, and you live close enough, try and do it before the 9th. Also know that even in you don't book a castle package you can still get your photo's taken in the studio.

Also, please know that you are NEVER too old to be a princess. If you really want to get your hair done please do it! Older princesses ROCK!, and they do mom princesses, grandma princesses, even teenage princesses all the time! Do not be embarrassed, just have fun with it!

And lastly, despite the rumor on some sites, you can tip your FGIT and I'm sure it's greatly appreciated! Those ladies work extra hard

Hope this all helped
have a great day!!

Thank you for this post. My BFF and I are taking a "girls only" trip in August...we've had a rough year...and I just booked us a coach package at MK-BBB for our arrival day and then we are having dinner at 1900 Park Fare followed by a night out at PI. She and I were talking about it and thought it would be fun to be princesses for a day!

OHHH That was soo great! It made me a little weepy, lol. You can tell she just felt like a princess! The way she was smiling and modeling for the camera, that is exactly why we all pay the money for this experience.

Have a Great night!

Ok... This is a tall order, but I wanted to know. I'm 13, I wanted to know if I could get away with wearing a costume around the parks (See my TR for a picture if needed.)

Also,
If not, could I bring my dress, change at exposition hall to get my picture, then change back?

I'm pretty sure that this is reserved for the younger girls (under 10).

Hi,

We have a appointment next Sunday before the park opens I know I need my confirmation number. But I am not sure where I go to get into Magic Kingdom do I just go to the main gates?

Thanks for any help

We had an 8am ressie too and nobody asked for our confirmation number. But they have a turnstile open to the right as you walk into MK, with the usual bag check, etc. Of course, we were running late because our bus broke down (another story!!!!) so DH and DMIL were behind us with our bags while DD and I RAN from the monorail to the entrance and all the way up Main St. But they saw us only carrying a brush so that we wouldn't be stopped at bag check, and it was obvious why we were there so early.

Note: We left POP at 7am for an 8:05 res at the Castle BBB. The bus broke down at the Poly (why we stopped there I'll never know!), so we raced up to the monorail.........and made it with 2minutes to spare. But I was so upset when I called BBB to say we might be late because our bus broke down. The gal was not very accomodating and just said that they would "try" to work my DD in sometime today. I was crying the whole way there and not very happy when we arrived as I saw more than 1/2 the chairs open (with FGIT's standing behind them waiting), and still open when we left. So I'm sure that was the pat answer to give, but still, it made me feel as though I had done something wrong and the reason we were late was 100% Disney transportation. Without that problem we would have arrived 1/2 hr early with an easy stroll down Main St.

Thank you for the information! I am so sorry that you had such a rough time getting there that is horrible that the FGIT was not nicer with you.

 

[Couturier]

WOW! That sounds like quite an adventure! One that I hope to never have, lol. Sorry you had to go through that! Just keep thinking MAGIC! LOL

Anyone know what time DTD has their first appt of the day?

I looked at your pic on your PTR, and I would say that you might be pushing it, it would depend on the CM, some of them are easy going and want to make magic and probably would let you slide, then you have other CM's who would make you change.

You can however bring your dress and change no problem.

Thanks for helping That's what I thought would happen

The photo shoot is free...QUOTE]

Just want to confirm that even if we don't purchase the Castle package we can still get the photo shoot and we can have those photos put on our Photopass?

 

[jillyb]

As of June 9, 2008 the prices are going up. the "Coach" pkge will be 49.95 plus tax. The "Crown" pkg will be 54.95 plus tax and the castle will be 189.95 to 249.95 plus tax.

Ugghhh!!! We're taking our DD's on the 12th for YDDs 6th birthday. I think I just lost some pixie dust. *sigh*

Yes, you can do that! That is what we did last trip and will be doing again on our next trip. We were at the MK BBB last time and did Photopass Pics by the Rose Garden as well as at Expo Hall. Have fun!

So sorry you had a rough start to your day! Please keep in mind, though, that you were in fact just given a standard answer to your question. Most days, we are booked to capacity and our appointment times must be followed to a T in order for everyone else's reservations to be on time. Things generally seem very slow in the morning, but things pick up VERY quickly about 1-2 hours into the day. The FGIT you spoke with on the phone probably feared that you may not have been able to arrive until later in the morning when it would have been impossible to back track in appointments. I hope the mishap didn't spoil your princess's magical moment!

My little princess had a great time getting her transformation. Of course she wasn't as upset as I was.
Here's the story...
We arrived at BBB at 5:20 pm for a 5:55 pm reservation. They didn't call her back until 6:50 pm!!!! It was standing room only the entire time we were there. They definately overbooked!
She ended up having a good time, but we missed some of the P&P party because of the delay. She was a bit bummed when she realized that.
I would definately reccomend booking your BBB experience early in the day if you are attending a special party at night.

Here's her before picture at dinner.

And here is an after picture that daddy took as we approached him.

 

[DisDancerina]

Great pictures! She's so pretty I'm sorry you missed some of P & P, though!

After reading through this thread, I called and made reservations for our November trip! My girls are going to love it!
