Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[grandmadebby2]

I notice this sale too.. can you tell me if you think they are the same kind that places like Target sell (in terms of quality)? I see there are the ones that are listed at Disney Parks authentic and then the ones on sale.

I've not seen the Disney Parks Rapunzel dress but the Disney Store Dress we bought seems to be of good quality. We haven't had any trouble with any of the dresses we have bought at the Disney Store or Parks. I have also bought Disney Park dresses on ebay for a very good price - just need to watch closely for the good deals there. But we did buy one at Walmart one time in a box and it is definitely just for play, the elastic started coming the first time she played in it.

Thanks. It’s good to know that I can still use the dressing room if I bring my own dress. That is one of the things my daughter asked me about. If I get the Crown package, can I add the same photo package that is included in the castle package? Or is the photo shoot different? Thanks again for the help. I am trying to make her birthday extra special.

yep, you can even do the Castle package (to get the shoes, wand, and crown too) and just tell them you have your own dress and they won't include it in the total.

You can add the photopackage to any of the styles/packages, but remember you don't have to add it at all and still get pictures taken. They add those pictures to the photopass CD and if you buy that you can print the pictures out at home, along with all the rest of the trips pictures.

I am now at 180 days out...so I should give a call to book, right? And... if I am understanding you right, since I plan to buy the pp cd... I shouldn't worry about adding the photo package. (the photos can be added to my pp) And... since dd has her dress.. I don't have to worry about adding that either. What should I call and request?

TIA!

Yes, call and book now, so you get the time/day/place you want. I would go for the middle package, and once you get there you can add whatever else you want. We have done the middle both times. The 1st time we added a crown and the second a crown and wand. We never added shoes because we borught our own. The first time we had matching shoes and the 2nd time we had some sparkly ones from Target that were comfy.
Both time we went and had the protraits done after and then added them to our photopass card. They may try to sell you the print package, but both times we lucked out and didn't have the sales pitch. The 2nd time we were actually in a hurry to leave and my phone had rung just as she finished up, so I grabbed her and left. I just personally don't need their prints, when I can print what I want at home via snapfish, walmart or where ever), and then get exactly what I want in the poses I want. It appeared that the print package only allowed 3 poses to be printed.
I wil lbe writing about our experience in my TR, but right now I am still working on the cruise portion of our trip. I am on the last full day of the cruise and the next day is when we did BBB.

 

[annmarieda]

Thanks! That was super helpful. I will be calling today! Middle package... gotcha!

I also am going to try and hop over to your TR. I hate joining late... but if you will have me

 

[mgilli]

How do I get the pictures taken without the package? Do I just show up at the studio and tell them I would like BBB pictures? What are options after the pictures are taken? Print, apply to CD or both? Do you recommend pre-ordering the photo pass CD? I know I am off topic, but can I add the photos from Cinderella’s Royal table or the Princess Tea party to the CD? We have reservations for both the same day we go to BBB. Thanks.

 

[annmarieda]

Ok, I just booked. Course, I got exactly what I asked for and then after thinking it over realized it probably was not the best time.

My hope.. to go to DTD have lunch at EoS. Take dd to BBB and then get checked in at WL (we will have checked out that morning from Pop) Then go to MVMCP. Do you think that 2pm will give me enough time for that? I also was toying around with the idea of taking dd to GF for tea that afternoon instead of doing lunch at EoS. If I did change to that plan... gong to DTD around noon, doing BBB around 1pm, then doing the tea? THEN checking into WL and doing MVMCP? Would that work?

I should have thought this through a bit more..

Yes preordering the Cd is best. If you don't like the pictures you can get a refund...as long as you don't actually order the CD to be sent out.
I just went to the store and got in line for pictures and had them taken, Everything was scanned to our card, then we just walked out.

What time is the tea? Is it one with Aurora or the Wonderland Tea party, or just tea in general. If it's one of the parties do aloow at least 2-3 hours before the party time. DTD are always slow, so if you get done on time you may still have to wiat to get for a bus to get to GF, plus if you do pictures in between too. I have waited over 45 minutes at DTD for a Pop bus once and 30 another time. I probably would go for an 11 BBB appointment,that way you get her in, have pictures and stil ltime to get to GF...(if you are just making an ADR, rahter than party) and then get checked in at WL. You can get in to the MVMCP as early as 4, so I would get the other stuff done earlier in the day to get to the park early...but that is just me. I don't schedule a lot of down time. LOL!
I see you did find my TR. I do have links on the first page to all the TR posts, so that can get you caught up much faster. I'm also working on another day trip TR on my blog, so I am dividing my time between the 2 reports till I get the other one done.

.

The tea would be at the Garden View Tea Room at GL that you book through the ADR system. Just for the afternoon tea... not the princess tea party with Aurora. I don't have to do that. I just thought it might be fun to do the day we do BBB.

Do you think 2pm is too late in the day to just go from BBB to WL and then to MK for MVMCP (my hope is to actually show early for that between 4 and 5pm)

I could always book the tea for another day... and maybe since we will be checking out of Pop and then into WL and doing BBB and MVMCP it would be best to skip the tea that day.

So even if you don't get the most expensive package you can still go for the photoshoot? This is our first time going to the BBB. We are booked for the lowest package because I had heard that the nail polish they use doesn't hold up well. We might add an accessory to two when we get there. I wasn't sure that the photo session would be included if we didn't get a more expensive pacakge.

If you have a 2:00 BBB at DTD you won't be out of there, pictures and everything until at least 3:00. And that is only if they are right on time and you don't need to wait at all for the photography. The bus back to the GF at best would get you there by 3:30. IMO, I would do BBB and earlier so that both you and your daughter can relax, have fun and enjoy it. And I would want to have a relaxing tea not one that was full of hurry ups. I don't think you can do it all in that time frame unless you are ok getting to the party closer to 6:00. I'm not an expert but I have never had BBB go completely on time.

If it was me personally, I would skip the tea. I have read a few times that many kids don't appreciate it as much, but you know your DD best. I know from what I have read about it that my DD wouldn't like it at this point and time.
I would also aim for a noon appointment. That way if they are behind, you still have time to play with and if you have to wait for pictures, again you have time to play with. If it all goes on time, you can still walk around DTD a bit and enjoy it. Then get over to WL to check in and get to the party by 4 or so.

You can do the photoshoot with any package. You just don't get the prints with it. But you can add them if you wish.

That settles it... I won't be doing the tea that day. I am debating making the appointment earlier... but 2 will probably work... just may get us to MK a bit later than I had originally wanted.

 

[Aubsmama]

Ok, so I am really thinking about calling and making appointments for my DD4 and her best friend who will turn 5 on our trip. My question is, do you have to pay in advance or just secure the appointment with a credit card. Also, if for some reason we have to cancel, what time frame can we cancel and not be charged? The reason I ask, is because I am expecting a bonus at work and would love to do the Castle Package for both girls, but if something happens and I don't get the bonus, not sure I can justify the price.

You just secure with your card and pay after services. You must cancel 24 hours beforehand.

 

[rock*mom]

Yes, they did this for my daughter and I have also asked them not to use the hair spray on her hair...since I usaully take my daughter to get her hair pressed before we go so that she can have this done I want it to last as long as it can-the press I mean.

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

You absolutely can get the photo session with the cheaper package. We took our own dress from home and did the middle package. Then we just went down to the photo area, had the pictures taken, scanned the PP card, and I had them developed myself when we got home. The last time we went was 2 years ago. Can someone tell me if the photo area has been moved since then? I think it probably has b/c before it was in Exposition Hall.

I always love seeing pictures of your DD!

Yes it has moved. It's now in Tinkerbelles treasure store, right behind the castle...actually I think it's now called Castle Couture...or something like that. If you walk in the door right by the castle, go to your right and it's towards the back door.
