Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[bjakmom]

bumping... DD and I looooove looking at all the pics.

Is it still true that you can do the photo session if you don't buy the highest package? We always buy the photopass CD, so the photos just go on the photopass card, right?

Yes, we always get the lower priced package and DGrD wears her own dresses. Just go over to the photo shoot area and yes, all the photos go right on your photopass card - easy! Just remember when ordering the photos for the CD to edit them into larger sizes (8x10 or 12x14) if you want to print them to those sizes.

Yes, we went in January. dSis is an adult so getting the dress package wasn't even an option. She got hair, makeup and nails. We had no trouble getting the photo shoot. And the pics all went on our CD, along with all the pics they took during the makeover.

Dd would like to go to bbb before our park fare ad r at 430. We would be at dtd location. When should I try to get into bbb for us to have enough time to get to gf. We won't have a car but could grab a can if running close

Althought we've never done BBB before, our ADR at 1900 PF is at 4:30 too and I got a noon appt. That I'm sure will give us enought time to get my DD made over, and get her photos done.





I have a question, Where is the place that they take the BBB photos at DTD? Is it close to the BBB?

Hello! I have a quick question. I know that adults aren't allowed to dress up in the parks, with the exception of the Halloween party. However, can an adult dress-up for the photo shoot after a makeover and then change back into their normal attire? I'm planning on going to Disney World solo for my 21st birthday next year (First visit ever!) and would love to dress-up as Jasmine in the photo shoot photo! TIA!

Can anyone answer this? Thanks!

Can anyone answer this? Thanks!

Wish I could, I'm sorry. All I know about that is that adults aren't allowed to dress up.*shrug* I'm just going to con DH into coming with and taking pictures during, then have my character pics and such from the day.

You could always try calling BBB and asking. The CM I talked to when I booked was really nice about me being an adult and booking...

Carey, I can't remember exactly, but it is close by and there is a sign out front of it. I want to say you turn left when you come out of BBB/WoD, but I might be wrong. I also want to say it's near guest relations. But someone should be able to chime in and tell you. And they will point you in the right direction at BBB as well.

Couple of things...

1. Going to MK and doing BBB on 10/23. My DD4 has an appointment at 9:25 am. We are doing the last dinner of the night at 6:55pm Will her hair last? She wants the bun. Will this time be good or should I keep trying to get an even earlier BBB appointment?

2. Anyone purchased the green ariel ball gown? How does it look? My daughter likes that one but it just doesn't seem to have a wow factor like the cinderella one. Is it floor length or tea length? Is it really full?

3. When we bring our own dress, will the FGIT take her dress and put it in the dressing room to surprise her or is that not an option because we are bringing our own. We are only doing the hair and makeup package.

4. Does Disney come out with new costumes around Halloween? I don't want a halloween themed costume but didn't know if there were new princess costumes introduced around this time of year.

1. absolutely. The bun is put up on the top of her head so she can actually sleep in that and it'll stay for a couple days if you take care of it. If you ask the FGIT they'll give you some care tips if you want to keep it that long.

2. Ariel was one of my favorites (the other is Tiana super pretty and really comfy), it's really cute and pretty full on the little princesses. Her size will be tea length but if she wants it floor length you can have the FGIT to pick a size or two larger and then she can put a hair band bustle in the back so not only is it as long as she wants she can grow into it for a couple years or so.

3. Yes, you can do this.

4. The park ones relatively stay the same but you might find some new designs at the Disney Store.

Hello all.

I've been trying to read through this thread and man it's overwhelming. I have a quick question that hopefully someone can answer. Are there any styles that do not involve a bun? It seems like almost all the styles have a sleek look with a bun. I'm not loving that (although all the pics of the little princesses on here are just precious ). My DD8 & DD9 had makeovers done at Disney Studio 365 at Disneyland and had a funky hairstyle where they took chunks and twisted them all back into a ponytail and then added colored extensions. They loved that and I was hoping for something similar at BBB. Is there such a thing? TIA!

The closest thing to that would be a pop princess.

Found this photo on Flickr of a really nice one ^_^

(on a side note: this girl is just darling XD)

How much are the light up princess wands at BBB? I am trying to decide if it's worth buying one before we leave (but then I have to pack it) or if I should just buy one there, the biggest factor being price. They have them at Disney Store for $10.50 plus shipping. We are taking our own Cinderella dress that I bought from the Disney Store when they were having a sale a few weeks ago and I am going to surprise my 4 year old with it the day of her BBB appointment.

Umm wow. She is adorable, but wow that is wild. Wonder if I ask them to tone it down a bit on the teasing in the back if they would? I'm sure the girls would like it all wild, but as a Mom I'm thinking about how many gallons of conditioner it'll take to be able to comb through that.

 

[KrazyKollector]

Trying to get caught up reading all the posts but I have a couple of questions.

What all is included in the middle package? Do you have to supply the items needed to keep the hair up in a bun? Are the little barrette and crown things extra and if so, how much?

If you get the photopass CD, can it be then downloaded to a site you choose, like shutterfly or is it only able to be downloaded through Disney? Their print prices were eye-popping!

This is going to be a surprise for DGD and we are going a bit before Christmas as a joint Christmas-Birthday celebration. I have no idea who she will choose to be, but she has/I have a "Winter Belle", Belle, Snow White, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Tink, Sleeping Beauty and Jasmine (though it will be too cool for that one). I guess they should all make the trip with us......oy!

I am imaging my luck now....."Nana! I want to be Ariel or Mulan!"

 

[kylieh]

After reading a lot about DTD and lateness - will we be stuck: DNiece has a 3.50pm appt for hair and nail package, her Nanna is making her gown. Our ADR in Akerhaus is 6.30pm. Even with catching a cab over to Epcot are they still pushing it time wise? Would they be better cabbing to Beach or Yacht club and walking from there if pushed for time?

lol most of it is hair extension which will come out like a scrunchie. Very little of their own hair will be teased. As long as you brush it from the bottom and work your way down with a little bit of shampoo it'll be fine. Most of the hair is in two braids from a ponytail under that.

The Crown package includes all of the hair styling, makeup and nails supplies. The crowns & etc are included in the style she chooses.

A photopass CD is a CD of the Jpegs, you should be able to load them anywhere. That's why the CD is so pricey b/c they're loosing your print business.

We got one and I think it was around $15 plus tax.

They don't actually tease your childs hair. It's all pulled back and tucked under, but there is a lot of gel used.

And from experience, no they won't tone it down. My DD gets the Diva which has the longer extenstion and I always asks if they will make it spikey rahter than making it look like a boufant and they have told me each time no, they have to stick to the exact style.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

DD4 did BBB at the castle back in December (see pic below). We're not doing it this trip (we were going to do a mommy daughter session @ DTD, but I feel bad leaving DD2 out again + we're swimming that day- so no sense in spending the $ this time), but I have a question concerning costume shoes and purses- and this seemed like the best place to post.

Does anyone know how small the shoes run? DD2 has the park authentic Ariel gown and I want to add on the multi color sequined shoes this trip. The smallest I've seen people selling online is 9/10, but I was wondering if they also come in 7/8. I also wanted to surprise DD4 with the sequined Cinderella carriage bag, but wasn't sure if this was still being sold. I'd be buying at Castle Couture. Anyone know?

Thank you for the reply, jenseib. I found a thread on here about the gift cards at Sam's Club so I bought some and used the bonus gift cards to the Disney Store online to buy two light up wands (Cinderella and Belle) for free! Yay, gotta love free! Can't wait for our BBB appointment in October!
