Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[C&OsMommy]

I have a quick question. We are taking our daughter and three sons to Disney for DD 4th birthday...We are hoping to get BBB and Cinderella's Royal table reservations on her actual birthday...We have several Princess dresses at home...my question is will we loose some of the magic/fun of the experience if she's not able to pick a new dress that day? This will be her first BBB..Thanks!

Both times we have gone and brought a dress and no magic was lost If you want, you can go to the Disney store near you and find a new one on sale for much less than what they cost there and wrap it up and bring it with you. Especially if you aren't leaving until after Halloween. They have great sales around Halloween!!!

IMHO, the "shopping" area of BBB at the castle is so small they almost don't even notice that it is there, especially a 4 yr old.

We have brought ours each time as well, and had wonderful, magical times.
One year I bought a dress and hid it. Then on the morning of BBB I had it laid out with shoes as well, and then a note that said it was from her fairy Godmother. She loved it. This past trip, she decided at home which dress she would like to wear, "if" she went. I booked it, but never told her for sure till the day of the appointment. Again, she had a note waiting saying she was invited to come to BBB for an appointment. Each time we have purchase a crown to match her dress/princess. And she has been very happy. We like having a dress that is slightly different than what everyone else is wearing as well.

We took our dd to the BBB for the first time on our trip about 2 weeks ago. We did not buy anything extra, she just had her hair and makeup done and it was the best experience. She felt like a princess all day long. I don't think any magic is lost by not purchasing a princess dress there or even by not bringing/wearing a princess dress.

We didn't even see where they sell the dresses and other accessories when we were there.

Hello Ladies:
Hopefully this will be the right place to post this;
I placed an order thru the disneystore website, for the Rapunzel crown (or tiara) for my DD8 . IMHO the crown runs pretty big and heavy, for her head. DD8 tried to wear it, but she said it was too heavy.
Should I returned it back to the store for a store credit or refund? any advice will be apreciated.

Thank you. P.S. I do have a local Disney store in my area.

You can bring it to your local Disney store for a full refund. Ours sold out of them in a day, so I am sure they will be happy for the additional inventory!

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.

Oh please explain the hairband bussle? I have a super tall 4 year old who is super skinnY! I want one big on her so that it lasts a few years since they are so expensive lol

Yeah, they can pretty much take one of the little clear bands they use for the hair and twirl the extra spandex fabric in the back of the dress to make it fit around her waist better. They can also fix long straps in a similar fashion.

The back bustling depending on the FGIT isn't always super pretty but it'll make her much more comfortable and look adorable from the front. If a little "wad" of fabric in the back bothers you though you could bring a cute little matching color bow on an elastic to put over it

I've tried wading through these hundreds of pages but can't find what I'm looking for though I'm sure it's here somewhere! I'm wondering about the Jasmine outfit. Is it short sleeve or long? We go next month and I know it will be hot. I'd rather not pay the Parks price but the Disney Store one is long sleeve. Can anyone comment on the Parks costume and if it is itchy? Thanks!

Is the absolute youngest a child can be to get "beauty-fied" is 3? Or will they take in younger children?

Thanks! No idea what dress she will pick or I would do the boy just for cuteness sake. Glad the FGIT know how to do it, I wouldn`t have a clue lol.
Thanks!

Don't know if this has been addressed or not. If so, please forgive me. I didn't wade through all 158 pages.

How hard is it to get a reservation for October 31 (Halloween)? Is it something that has to be done at the 180 day mark?

We're already planning for my DGD's fifth birthday trip to WDW. I know my DD wants her to do BBB, and probably on her birthday. However, DGD's actual birthday is October 31.

Considering they do the Halloween Party that night that day will fill up quickly. You will most definitely want to book it at the 180 day mark if you can.

I'm trying to track down a dress for my daughter via ebay. Has anyone ordered on there and/or recommend a seller? I'd like to avoid the cheaper ones that I buy regularly and go with something better for our September trip to BBB.

I bought a Disney Parks Belle Dress off ebay for our Nov. trip. I got it brand new and only paid $41 including shipping. I bought a couple month ago though and I don't remember the seller. I tried looking it up, but the information is gone since it's been awhile. I also got my DD shoes, a wand and a crown off ebay. You just have to keep checking every day for what you want. You have to find the right size in the right dress. I would do research so you can tell the difference between the dresses. I noticed a lot of the cheaper dresses like the ones you see at Wal-mart for sale for twice the orginal price. I would figure out which dress you want to buy and then keep looking on ebay to see if you can find a good deal.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

She'd like a Cinderella dress. The disney store has a cute blue one that I'm thinking about unless I can find something just as nice elsewhere.

I dont know about Cindy but I have both the Rapunzel and Belle ones from the Disney Store Halloween Collection for my DD's and they are gorgeous. There is a lot, A LOT, of glitter but they are just so pretty.

Hi there!
We have an appointment in October and I was thinking about adding on this new birthday glass slipper thing since we are going for her bday. Has anyone done this yet that could share their first hand experience and/or pictures??
Thanks!

 

[squirrel]

I didn't read the entire thread to see if this has been asked before:

Can you purchase the crown/tiara that they use at BBB? Is it plastic or is it made of metal?

I would like to do my niece's hair like they do at BBB. If someone knows of a different place to get a nice crown/tiara, I'm open to that also.
