If this has been covered, i apologize. boing back through 2500 posts would take too long.

does anyone know where i can find the prices of the dresses they sell in the park?

 

[jenseib]

We have a late afternoon appt for BBB at MK. We will be bringing our own dress ... so what do we do with the dress while we are enjoying the park beforehand???

You can put in a locker for the day.
We had a stroller and a backpack I just scrunched the dress up into a big ziplock bag and put it in the backpack and carried it till it was time.

They are currently $64.95 for the dresses that are the same as the boutique. (Ariel Dress, Ariel Fins, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rapunzel, Tiana, Tinkerbell, Belle, and Jasmine) The price for those is the same at the boutique as they are in any other part of the resort. I don't know the prices for the ones not offered at the boutique though. (Alice, minnie, tu-tu's etc)

Lucky you! You got a great time for BBB! I checked out touringplans.com and it's gonna be an extremely busy day at MK!
I don't think they'll change opening time because they'll be having evening EMH that day (until 1:00 am!).

Its going to be a busy week...darn spring break crowds!! I have my older daughter that will run and get us fast passes if needed and we plan taking an afternoon break, going to Chef Mickeys for dinner and then head back to the park for the evening.

Just curious if anyone knows how the sizes run.

I bought a dress off ebay that is a "Disney Direct" dress size 7/8.(by the way, where does this come from? Disney store online? Outlet of some sort? It definitely is Disney and not like a Walmart "disney" brand.) It is way to big for my dd. Then I bought a dress from the Disney store size 7/8 and it fits fine. I am considering buying a dress off ebay that is a "Disney Park" dress. Do they run large? Small? Spot on? I have never bought a parks dress for dd so I have never seriously taken a look when we were in the parks.

TIA

Technically a 14 year old isn't allowed to wear a costume at Disney, unless it's for a special event where others are allowed to wear them (Like MNSSHP). have you made your appointment already? I also read here (don't know if it's true) they they now have a cut off age. I'd have to go back and look, but I think it's 12. But if you have an appointment, they will still honor it.

I find the store dresses run small, but the park ones tend to be more right on the money.

 

[pilferk]

Just wanted to give all of the "grown-up" princesses out there a heads up. They are no longer allowing anyone over the age of 12 to have this done. If you already have a reservation they will honor it, but they are not taking new reservations for older princesses.

Yikes!

Good thing we already have our ressie. My wife and 2 girls will be there tonight!

Hi!
This is daughter's first time at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and she is super siked.

I haven't made her appointment yet because I don't know when we are supposed to pay. Do we pay on the phone? At check-out when we get there or what???

I've look for when people pay for it on this thread, but i'll be sitting here for two hours and find.....NOTHING.

Please help.

We were told on the phone that you pay at the appointment. They allow you to change your package there if you want. I would assume it's after all is said and done, but maybe it's before in the event your little one freaks out and won't complete their appointment. That way BBB still gets their money.

We haven't taken our DD yet. First appointment next month!

She is 12, but is in about a 14 dress size.

 

[lilmissdisney216]

You pay at the very end of your appointment. We have had some princesses freak out and get really scared and have the cold feet. The parents decided that they don't want it done either before they get in the chair or after they're in the chair and then we just let them go and there's no charge cause there was nothing done to her hair and no makeup was applied. I don't remember what happend if we just did makeup and/or nails and no hair. I think the parents still had to pay for the package and they got the accessories to take home (i.e. tiara, bobby pins, or hair piece depends on the style chosen).

I believe they give you the crown if you do the bun hairstyle. I think it's called fairytale princess maybe?

http://www.partycity.com/product/ad...ume.do?sortby=ourPicks&size=all&navSet=178776 - will she fit into an adult small?

For a custom made, I would check out the disboutiqe thread on the family board. I don't know if many of those women do custom made dresses for others, but it would be worth a shot. Otherwise, try etsy.

As someone who sews (I have just made my older daughter 4 princess dresses and counting for our upcoming trip), I think it's going to be hard to get a "dress/gown" for $50-$65 custom made; especially one like Belle's that's got a bit more detail. It really comes down to the fabric. If you do a dressy fabric, it's going to be more. I just made my infant (6 months) a Cinderella dress out of nicer dressy material, fabric and zipper,thread, pattern, came to over $50. For an older child, you're looking at more. I'd ask for baroque satin, it still looks nice but is cheaper.

....btw to the PP, she said her daughter was 12, so no worries

 

[jenseib]

She is 12, but is in about a 14 dress size.

Oops, I mis read that. I know there is a cut off age, and I want to say nine, but it might be 12. 12 sounds better...and I don't think they would make an issue of that age anyways.

Also I would check out ebay and the halooween costume shops online, which most are having sales right now. Custome made ones will be pretty costly.

You know what would work? Try looking at places like Ross for a real dress rather than a costume. Search for something with fairytale-ish qualities (shimmer, satin, bows and so on).
If your DD wants Belle's look, go for a golden dress, with a full skirt if possible and accessorize it with a red rose brooch or red bracelets). Look for ladie's dresses size 0 or 1/2. That should fit her.

Does anyone know where I can find the Alice dress? My 9 year old dd LOVES Alice and really would like that dress. Also, if she is wearing a size 8 now what size do you recommend for March? are the sizes 7/8 or 8/10?

The Alice dress is hard to find. I would search Ebay. It seems to not be in all the stores at WDW. Also, if you are getting the park version, that dress runs VERY small. The head hole doesn't stretch and it was a struggle to get my DD's head through and she is just average sized. I would go with a 10 or even bigger if you can find one. Also if you get it a bit bigger they last a bit longer to. My DD seemes to be growing about a foot a year (OK, slight exageration) and dresses that I bought to just fit for the trip are packed away or sold now because she coudn't wear them much longer for anything else. We bought a generic Rapunzel dress last year. The site siad it ran big, but it DIDN'T! I would've gotten her an 8, but instead got her a 6. She is wearing it for Halooween, but it is a bit too small, especially in length. But for the money we spent, she is getting one last use out of it!

Here is a picture of it. This angle doesn't look too bad, but it is about 2 inches too short and her waist sits a bit higher than it should. Also very snug in the mid section.

Thanks! I'll keep looking on ebay. My dd would really like the one that says Alice on the apron.

Very cute picture of you dd!! Where did you find the Mary Poppins dress? My youngest dd would like something like that.

 

[GoofyTroopOf6]

Yay!!! I found a lady on Etsy to custom make her dress and it is only $50. I'm soooo excited!

My 4 year old daughter did BBB last week at the castle and adored it! We have some fantastic pictures of her makeover and I am so glad we did BBB. We took our own new dress, wand and shoes and chose the fairy tale princess hairstyle (the bun). It looked very tight but it actually wasn't as tight as it looked. They just use TONS of gel and the slicked back hair makes it seem tighter than it is. The bun lasted 3 days and she still had her hair done for our dinner at Akershus three days later. I added a bit more glitter to it because that was mostly gone by day 3. I just sprayed her hair with hairspray and then sprinkled the glitter on it.

Her appointment at BBB was for 4:20 but we ended up waiting almost 40 minutes before she was called. The waiting room is very small and it was very crowded. A lot of people were complaining and going up to the desk saying they had dinner ressies to get to, etc. If you have an afternoon appointment and then want to go to dinner, leave plenty of time between your appointment and your dinner reservation. We had a dinner ressie after the BBB at 1900 Park Fare but our ressie wasn't until 7:10 so we had plenty of time to get there.
