Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[grandmadebby2]

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

The $50 one is drop dead gorgeous. The quality is better than most the other Disney Park Dresses we have. They have went above and beyond on this dress, we absolutely love it. I have read on here where others are impressed with it also. I haven't seen the $150 but I imagine it is also fabulous, although with 4 granddaughters that I buy dresses for it was out of the question.

I recently saw both dresses in a Disney store (the limited edition Rapunzel and the $50 one) At first glance, the $50 one was so nice that I thought it was the limited edition one. The quality of it is nicer than the "flower series" that they have up for the rest of the princesses. However, I was so excited to actually see the limited edition one I was soooo close to buying it. I had dd try it on and it was so cute... but on her it was a tad small. She is a small 7 year old. Just now fits size 5/6...but the size 6 was just about too tight on her. The cm agreed with me that come fall (when I want the dress for) she likely would be unable to wear it. At first I was sad, but then I realized that the dress is THAT nice. I mean... I am not sure I could allow her to wear it in the parks. The embroidery to the fabric itself were all very exquisite. I think the $50 one is so nice and will make me feel much more at ease should she spill a large orange pop on her dress again.

We don't live near a Disney Store and won't be near one until May, I am hopeful to get to see the Limited Edition one then, although I could never justify buying four of them. The $50 is beautiul, like you said "the quality is nicer than most Disney Store Dresses" so we are excited about it.

Hi, I caved and after telling my daughter BBB was too expensive I booked at the DTD location for her and her twin brother. I am getting the least expensive package and probably the pop princess hairstyle for her. I will be getting her some new priincess costumes for the trip as her current ones are a wreck. She'll only be wearing them for our princess breakfasts not sure about BBB as I wasn't going to get the image package. Any advice? Also, Are there nice crowns or tiaras that are decently priced at BBB or World of Disney?

Sorry if this has been asked but way too many pages to try and read all of them. Someone said this is an eBay vendor that sells the dresses. Does anyone know his name in ebay?


Also trying to get a reservation for 09/09 we have dinner at cindy's castle at 8:05PM.
If we do the BBB at 6PM will that give us enough time to get to dinner? or should I try a 5PM sitting?

Not sure if this is what you mean but here was a post from grandmadebby mentioning an ebay seller.

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 just wanted to point out that no matter what package you get she can still get her picture done and added to your photopass at no additional charge. They don't print any pictures but you can do that yourself if you have the photopass cd. Glad she will get to experience it, my DGD's love it.

I am taking my dd2 (6) and dd1 (12! glad we are going this year and not next! ) to BBB and doing the small package (nails would just be.. a mistake, I think lol).

I am worried about dd1's hair since I've been reading through the thread and they can only do the 3 styles.

Dd1 has a very short haircut, a modified pixie (like P!nk's). Will they be able to do ANYTHING with her hair? There is no way it will pull back for anything, but she really, really wants a crown and I want her to have the BBB "experience". Will they be able to do anything for her at all?

I could get a wider type tiara to bring (one more like a crown, or buy one there if they have them) to help w/that aspect, but wondering what they can actually do to her actual hair that they are allowed to do...

bleh!

We were atbbb last aug. just wondering if the park dresses are still the same as last summer or if they have been updated with new ones.

DD has dark straight hair. Her hair is about shoulder length, so not likely to be able to be bunned up nicely. When she had a makeover in HK Disneyland 2 years ago, they gave her hair extensions. Do they do that at BBB as well? If so, do the extensions come in dark colour as well? TIA

If you choose a hair style that has extentions they do. There are 2 hairstyles with extensions, one is Diva and I can't think of the other. The Diva extensions are colorful but the one my DGD had in July 2011 was kind of brown, they didn't ask what color she wanted so I don't know if they had choices. Princess Hairstyle is the bun with no extensions. From what I have observed they make each girl feel so special regardless of her hair length.

just went with my friend and her dd and her hair is just about to her shoulders also. They did pull it back, the use a lot of goop! that's the basis for all 3 styles:
1.princess bun--what you'd expect with a tiara
2. diva --with the extensions that come in like 5 different colors inc almost black, dark brown, med brown, red, blonde and pink. Its the hair with a few colorful but not terribly obvious mickey strands going through it. The diva comes with 2 rhinestone clips at wdw but at DL they use the tiara.
3. pop princess one--also extension thing but kind of crazier. This is the one I know the least about as dd has never gotten this one.

I think they can work with almost any hair.

Thanks! If she picks the diva, I can always buy her a tiara if she wants!

It is a very recent change, but necessary. The BBB was having to turn away little princesses because the adults were filling up all the appointments Maybe you could do your hair/makeup before arriving at the parks in BBB style!

I don't want this to come across as nasty as it's just my opinion. Is it me or is anybody else not really digging those standardized cookie cutter slicked back with the little bun "princess" dos? Honestly, when I look at all of the before pictures of those pretty little girls with their beautiful silky or curly long hair, I don't know why on earth you'd want to slick it back like that. Why not make it softer and pretty. I can understand the pretty gowns, some makeup and a manicure, but in my opinion there's really nothing "princess like" about those hair dos.

I don't think it really matters as long as the little girls enjoy the process. I have always felt it was more of an experience you are buying and not an end product.

The Fairy Godmothers in training who work at the shop are only licensed as hair braiders. There are no braided styles I can think of that are soft and pretty.
