Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[+Rosetta+]

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.

It's metal.

You can get it in most shops that has a princess section on property like DTD, Main Street Emporium, Castle Couture.

This is very similar to the crowns used in the BBB-

Hi all I had a question was hoping someone could help. DD has very short hair (just about makes it into a pony). I don't want the extensions and i'm not looking for something that will last days (just a few hours). Do you think they can just pull it up to like a little sprout on top of her head. I know I am wasting the money to not have it really "done" but it's just about the experience for her and not what it will look like or that it will last.

TIA

Thanks!

Do you happen to know the approximate cost of the WDW one?

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.

Check out costume shops online. Just google cinderella costume. I got some great costumes from buycostume.com ( I think thats the name) They have some cheap to really nice. Some are just called blue princess, but they look like cindy.

No,they only stick to the 3 styles.

Questions! I'll be purchasing the Tiana dress from BBB for my eight year old sister before we go in October and I'm not sure what size to get. I've heard that the Disney store princess dresses run small, but are BBB dresses the same? She just turned eight earlier this month and she wears a size 7/8 in almost everything. If the dresses run small, a 7/8 probably won't fit her very long, but a 10/12 might be to big/long. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. The Disney Store has a beautiful Princess Tiana costume for sale right now. However, I just adore the BBB version. I seriously wish it came in my size. How do the two compare quality wise?

I am sure they will be able to do something with your DD's short hair. My DD's hair was little past her shoulders but her bangs were short. Somehow with all that goop they use, they even got her bangs back in the bun. I am sure they have little girls in there all the time who have short hair.

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!

Go to the Disney Store web page and search "Jasmine". Be sure and look for the costume that has Disney Parks Authentic below it and you will see the exact one at the park.

Is Alice an option at the BBB? My daughter is 8 and not into princesses, but wants to be Alice for Halloween, anyway. Also, she's VERY sensitive to "scratchy" clothing and I don't think any of the princess dresses will be an option for her.

My neice was Alice at the BBB in 2008, I dont know if they still have the costume but it was super cute and comfy.

 

[babygirlamg]

do you have to have a credit card to make a reservation????

 

[joy13]

They definitely sell an Alice dress in the parks - but I don't now if they have it at BBB. If you see it before your appointment - I'd buy it early, just to be safe. It's very cute - my daughter has it. I know for sure they sell it at the toy store in the England section of World Showcase - but I bet the have it at many other stores too.

 

[joy13]

I think so because there is a cancellation policy. It's been two years since I made an appointment though - so I can't say for sure.

OK, so we're getting the Castle package (the works ) but if we find a different dress (possibly Alice) in the park do we get a credit back on our $200 BBB package? I still want my daughter to be able to get some accessories, the photos, etc. like her sisters are getting. With the Castle package, do they just give you a certain $ amount credit - or are there very distinct things the kids need to choose from?

Also, I heard there are "deluxe" dresses available at BBB with the package for extra $ - does anyone have photos of these? These will be the first princess dresses in our house, so I would really like them all to be non-scratchy, quality dresses for us to keep for Halloween & our costume bin, etc.

I used a debit card, but it does have Visa logo.

Yes - they will credit you the price of the dress if you buy it early. The package doesn't save you any money - it's just the cost of everything added together. I also think all the deluxe dresses at BBB are at other stores at the park, so you can preview them before you get to BBB (unless it's your first day in the am of course )

What we did is bring our own dress from the Disney store. (The dresses are way overpriced at Disney) You can also find them online at the Disneystore occassionly. Probably more so after Halloween. I am doing the same thing in October. We have a cruise on DCL after this so she will have pictures with the Princesses then. We just take our own pictures at Disney. It's more the experience of getting made up like a Princess we are going for. I am not sure if they offer a discount if you bring your own dress or not for pictures.

 

[joy13]

If you don't get the castle package, you don't get the pictures included, but you can still get them taken and just buy what you want. If you are doing the photopass CD - they will all be on that.

Someone posted yoU can get the pics printed as an a la carte option, is this not true??

You can get them without the castle package, I believe it is around $30 unless it went up from last year. We just have the pics put on our Photopass CD since we alreadyprepurchased it this year but last year we paid extra for the pics. As long as your receipt shows a portrait package you will get the pictures printed but it is a much better deal to add them to an already puchased photopass.

I do have the prepaid photopass CD, so I may opt to not do the package, but if I do want it I'm glad to know they still have it for a la carte! Thanks
