Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[mrdillard]

MY daughter will be 4 1/2 next month when we take her to BBB. She wears a size 5 in gymboree. Average height and weight for her age. (38 lbs 42 inches) Would you recommend a 4/5 or the next size up? She wants to do the green ariel ball gown.

2nd I have an 18 month old who obviously wont be participating in BBB but we want to get her a princess dress too. Any suggestions? She wears size 12 months now. With Halloween just around the corner I'm sure to find something at Target or Walmart but I don't want anything too cheap looking.

Anyone who's been to DW recently, what's your favorite princess dress? I really like Tiana and Cinderella but my 4 year old is set on Ariel. Would the smallest size of the tiana dress be able to be bustled to fit a tiny 18month?

The Disney Store has really cute baby versions of the dresses out for Halloween right now! I'm sure you can find exactly what you're looking for for your tiniest princess!

I would probably go with a size 6 dress for your almost 5 year old. My DD is about the same size and turning 6 in October. She still has room to grow in her dress but that means she can wear it longer.

Target and Walmart do have some cute outfits. I used to buy costumes off ebay all the time or Lillian Vernon catalogue. The costumes are a bit more there but good quality.

My dd is 4 3/4, she weighs 31lbs and 40inches tall. The Belle size4 from the Disney store fit fine, except the shoulder straps and bodice were a wee bit too roomy.

I'm plotting for next year, but currently my little princess has short hair. Quite short - an ear-length bob, with bangs. It's adorable, but I think it might rule out BBB for her. I just can't see how it would work - even if they combed & shellacked (totally a word) all her hair up, they'd be left with a little acorn-sized "bun"! I understand that they're limited to the 3 hairstyles, but could they can do all the other stuff (dress, nails, makeup) and just pin a tiara on her un-styled hair?

Yes, they will be able to do stuff with her hair. You'd be amazed what they can do with such little hair. I would suggest maybe convincing her to do a color matched Diva though if she wants a bigger looking bun. You can ask to add the tiara from the Fairytale if you'd like as well for a little extra.
I personally LOVE the Fairytale tiara with the Diva bun, it really compliments it and looks great with the clips too.

This is Supersuperwendy's daughter from page 120 that is a good example of this idea

I was a bit of a "Woah Sparkles!" kinda FGIT so more diamonds is always a Princesses best friend lol

Thanks! That is really cute!

Has anyone ever had luck getting into BBB without a reservation, just as a walk in? I dropped the ball on making reservations in time for our trip and now there are no appointments available.

Maybe at DTD. I doubt the castle. when is your trip. Probably depends on how busy the season is. Some say if you go in at opening and ask, they may squeeze you in.

That's kind of what I thought We're planning on being at the MK on Sunday, 9/18 and Friday, 9/23.

No, they no longer carry deluxes. I think they did away with that catagory at WDW for now. At one time the Ariel weeding dress was considered deluxe, but when I got it in 2008 it was brought down to standard and the price reflected that. (deluxes at the parks used to be about $20 or so more)



I don't think you got a discount at all. I think that package base price for hair is $55 ish. (probably the $57.85) I could be wrong, but they don't give any discounts for getting a package, they are all packages. But each item is rang seperately. So then the nail polish would've been rang seperately. So that would probably make it the $60ish price it is now. Are you saying you also got a dress and other items too, or did you get those before hand?



The dresses are the very basic dresses they sell at the parks. Nothing extra at BBB. That is stated in all the BBB threads. That is why many people buy a dress they like ahead of time and take it with them. That way they get what they want and for some, they like to be a bit different than the rest.

My receipt said discout 2.90 so no idea what the discount was for then, that is just what the reciept said. Yes we bought the dress and other items at BBB and those were the prices according to my receipt.

A few pages back someone asked for a current picture of the cinderella dress, this is one as of aug 2011.. I attached a few, close ups you can see more detail and further away to see the whole dress. We haven't got our photopass pics yet, but those were great!

BEAUTIFUL pictures! Thanks for sharing! SO excited - I am the mom of a 13yo boy (who is WONDERFUL but still a boy ) In March we are going to Disney with DH's cousin's family who includes a 5yo GIRL!!!! I booked BBB for her this morning for our first day @MK (8:05am) followed by breakfast at the castle (9:05am!) Her favorite princess is Ariel (followed by Belle and Snow White) so I would really appreciate any recent pictures of these dresses, accesories, shoes, etc

To my knowledge this is the correct listing of all the dresses and shows crowns and wands. For cinderella there is also gloves and a purse and I believe for some other princesses there are gloves and purses.

Okay. I wasn't going to do BBB this trip, but DD7 recently announced that she MUST do it again to be Belle or Tangled. So, now I'm too late to get a reservation prior to CRT at MK for November.

I called and DTD had a 9:00AM, but we have a 10:20AM CRT reservation and they wouldn't confirm BBB with less than a 2 hour window between the two reservations. So, my thought is this...what if I do a later reservation the day before? Do we think the hair would hold? It's either that or I just buy a costume and do the hair and make up myselfand hopefully get some pixie dust to top it all off.

Thoughts?!

We've done this twice - with 2 different girls - and both times the hair has been almost perfect the 2nd day. They put SO much hair gel on the hair that I can't imagine that it wouldn't stay. I always take some hair gel along on the trip for touch ups, and then my daughter wants "princess hair" for a few extra days after we do BBB, too.

You'll be fine - I wouldn't stress at all. You'll even get extra mileage out of your BBB visit this way! Have fun!

 

[Tbone17701]

Good to know!!

Now, I was just searching for a Disney Parks Dress and found Belle's Christmas Dress online (NOT through Disney). Does anyone know if they offer this dress in the parks in late November/early December? Thought this would be cute for MVMCP.

 

[Caretames1]

With the bun on top style, will they allow my DD's bangs to stay down?

 

[Tbone17701]

I hate to obsess, BUT....

Does everyone agree that it is absolutely out of the question to do a 9:00AM at DTD and still make CRT for a 10:20AM? We've done BBB before at DTD and it did take an unusally long time to get to Akershus afterwards, but what if I took a cab?! I'm thinking they open at 9:00AM, so they shouldn't be backed up and it's never taken us more than 30 minutes or so at BBB...even with castle package.

Please feed my delusion or bring me back to reality!!

My friend's daughter had bangs and they left them out with the bun. Don't know if she asked to let them out or not, but I saw her pics and her bangs are out.

Thanks, I like her bangs out, but I can't ask her cuz she doesn't know we're going
