Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

Speaking of dresses. Where do you all get them? Is the Disney store the best place or are there others that are better? My daughter will want to be rapunzel and we don't go until late May but I figure I may need to start researching my options.

Yes! You get the sash, we always bring our dresses to to make sure the kids get the one they want and they get the sash and crown (crown with princess hair style). They also get to go in the dressing room and get ready there before getting the hair and make up done. IMO, taking your own dress does not take from the experience at all but certainly saves disappointment if they are out of the size or style the little princess has her heart set on.

On a side note, we just received the Disney Rapunzel Wedding Gown ($50.00 version) and it is beautiful. The quality is even better then most the other costume I have purchased from the Disney Store. Looks much more like a Park Exclusive, but it's not. Very happy we ordered it and now can't wait for June to give them to the girls. Hope that at least one of them picks it for the BBB.

Thanks!!!

I LOVE that wedding dress. I showed it to DD, but now she has it in her head that she wants the pink Cinderella dress. She loves Cindy.

I get most of mine off ebay from a seller wantsandneedsforyou (think that is how it is spelled), they are Disney Park Dresses at about half of the Disney Park Price. I also get some at the Disney Store and we have even purchased a couple with our 10% discount for the Disney Visa Card at WOD in DTD. One year the little one had her heart set on Jasmine and we couldn't find it before we went so that is why we had to buy it at WOD. Not recommened though as they are higher that way. They Rapunzel wedding Gown we just received was purchased online from the Disney Store. It is beautiful.

Sorry, it is wantsnneeds4u if you don't see what you want sometimes if you go to ask a question on one of her auctions and ask for what you want she has it. I just purchased Belle and Tiana through her that way. Hope you can find her, she has a rapunzel listed right now.

I am going to buy the Rapunzel Wedding Dress today. I just dont want to chance that they wont have her size in the Rapunzel dress at our BBB appointment. We will be playing it up that it is a "special" Rapunzel dress from the Fairy Godmother for her bday.The quality of the Rapunzel Wedding dress is above and beyond what the other dresses are in my opinion. Disney knocked one out of the park on this!

Hi, This is my first post so please bare with me lol. I am taking my daughter Jenna age 7 to BBB for the first time on May 7th. We are doing a surprise trip for her first communion.

She is a big girl who wears either a 12 or 14 and I was wondering if they have her size in all the costumes? She wants to do this so bad and I don’t want her to be upset. We have reservations at Cinderella's table later in the evening and cannot wait for the whole experience.

Also if anyone else has any advice or tips I would gladly accept them!

Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know what sizes they sell becasue we usually take our dress with us but I just wanted to say as far as advice - Be Prepared for a Magical Experience. The FGIT make each girl seem so special - my DGD's love it. I also would say be sure and allow plenty of time between the BBB and the Castle Dinner as sometimes they run a bit behind and then getting pictures can take a bit of time also. The Photopass Photographers take alot of pictures and of course we also take our own.

I looked on Disney shopping and it looks like the ones there are only up to a size 10 My granddaughter will be 4 for our trip and BBB and I ordered a size 6. It is long, but just looks more formal. It does not touch the ground. I goggled Disney costumes and several sites come up. I would buy the dress before you go, so that there is no disappointment when you get there. Like I said we are bringing our dress with us. I got it on sale for like 15 dollars. We are flying, so will stick it in the shower overnight, and most of the wrinkles should come out from the steam.

I really wish they had this when I was a kid. I'm jealous!

My little Genevieve is ready to become a princess.

We just got the limited edition Rapunzel wedding dress for my granddaughter's appointment at BBB in August. The dress is absolutely gorgeous. Does anyone know if they will hold the dress at BBB until our appointment or will we have to put it in a locker while we are in the park. Her appointment is at 12:40 p.m.

I don't know the answer to your question although I would guess that they would not want to be responsible for the dress and you'd need to put it in a locker. FWIW, I've had very good luck rolling the dresses and putting them in a large ziploc bag they don't seem to wrinkle at all.

But, what I'd like to know is did the dress run big or small or true to size? I ordered my dd a size 5 because they were out of size 6, and I'm hoping it fits her properly.

Thank you for your suggestion. I don't think this dress will fit in a ziplock bag as the skirt of the dress is very pouffy. The one we bought is the limited edition version ($149.00 on the Disney site).

We bought my granddaughter a size 4. She usually wears a size 3 in clothes. We wanted the dress just a little big since we don't go until August. I would say that the dress is pretty true to size.

Thanks I found it.

Now, I told my wife about the wedding dress and she thought it looked perfect. Is there any way to get that one cheaper than the Disney store? I saw some on ebay but they were more.

Allison, there are 3 levels. One is just hair, 2nd is hair and nails and the 3rd is hair, nails and dress and accessories, plus prints from the photoshoot. I always go with the 2nd and bring our own dress. You can change what you chose on the phone at check in. You can still go to the photo shoot with package 1 and 2 and have them applied to your photopass.
There are also 3 styles, which she can choose when she arrives.

a gallon or 2 gallon zip lock will work just fine. (unless your dress has a built in hoop) I have always stuffed ours in a ziplock and smash all the air out and throw it in a back pack. They shake right out and look fine.

We stuffed this one in a bag and it had a petticoat too.

And this one too has been zip locked.

I've not seen it any less expensive and the ebay seller I use doesn't have it - I asked before I ordered from the Disney Store although you might be able to ask her again as it has been almost 2 weeks since I asked her.

If you are talking about the $150 dress...no, get it now, as they will sell out and then you will only find it on ebay...marked up drastically.

Not sure which one I'd get. 150 sure is alot of $. Do you think the $50 one is bad quality? Anyone compared?

that's the one I ordered too. Its that pouffy huh? It looks so beautiful online I'm kicking myself for not buying it the day before when they had the size 6 in stock. Even had it in my cart but then wanted to think about it. hmm, good to know on the sizing. I guess I'll just have to see when we get it. We are going in sept so I had the same thinking process.
