Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[2goofykiddos]

But the Castle Couture shoot will still be on the regular photopass (not upgraded) if you've already purchased it, right???

So just want to clarify, $10 for a $55 package would be the tip PER PERSON, not divided between the attendants?

Right. But you can do what you want. it's not written in stone. They used to not be allowed to except tips at all.

So are there 2 attendants or 3 (and sometimes one if they are busy)? I thought before the typical tip would be $10 (20% of services) for EACH girl, so $20 total tip. And I asked if the Boutique were busy and there were only enough attendants to have 1 per girl then would that one person get $10 or $20? Because I thought originally I was planning to tip TWO girls $10 EACH, so a total of $20. So now the impression is that the hair girl does more so should get more tip? Is it best to go in with a bunch of single dollar bills and maybe fives? I was originally going to go in with 2 tens and 3 ones (the ones for the Knight package person). But then you mention a split of 7 and 10. Is that of the $10 tip so is the 20% tip split over more than one person? So is it best to give the nail/make-up girl something right as she finishes up her job b/c once she's done she's gone and probably not coming back?

I'm surprised that PPs mentioned tipping would be $10 per person on a $55 package, you are getting $55 in services from 2 people, so wouldn't you split the tip of $10 (approx 20%) between the two people? Maybe 70%/30% or 60%/40% if one person did more. But a $20 tip is 36%, which seems high.

If I went to the nail salon and got a mani/pedi and two people did it I usually tip 15-20% on the cost of the invididual service to the person who did the work. So if the pedi is $50 I tip her $10 and if the mani is $20, I tip $4.

Am I off base here? I'm just trying to figure out what makes sense and $20 seems high to me.

I agree. And, I'm not sure what the normal procedure is but we were there in feb, did the top package and only had one stylist. I gave the girl a $10 tip I believe. Actually, she seemed a bit surprised. I got the impresion they don't get a lot of tips but I could have misread that.

Thats pretty much what I said. It's totally up to you.

Does anyone have pictures of the current dresses at the BBB? We are headed there in August and I was just curious what they had now.

If you search bacck in this thread a while like a year or so lol You will see pictures of the dresses offered. I have been hoping for NEW dresses from then but it seems there hasn't been yet.

My B/G twins are doing BBB at DTD and I'm planning on having my daughter get the pop princess or diva hairdo. I was thinking of having them wear their Tinkerbell and Peter Pan outfits for the photoshoot. What do you think?

P.S. Can anyone going to BBB soon mail me a brochure? PM me for info.

 

[ADisneyQueen]

Does anyone know what is the largest shoe size for flip flops the BBB store sells?
DD11 likes them but her foot is a size 5. I am wondering if the only go up to a kids size 2/3?

I'm pretty sure they are smaller sizes. See if you can find a pair before you go. I don't even think shoes are included in the package anymore.

The brochures are personalized with the childs name. I'm not sure if you can get extra...doesn't hurt to ask. But there should be a picture of it around here somewhere or google it.

Someone on one of the DisBoards said if your DD needed a size that is not usually available to let the BBB know ahead of time and they sometimes have something in other areas of the park they can get if they have notice. This was actually talking about a costume for a bigger sized girl but I'm sure they could do the same thing if the shoes are available elsewhere in the park.

 

[jenseib]

I don't think they go up to that size though in flip flops...It would be an adult looking one most likely.

 

[Bluesstarz]

IF we made reservations and I need to check on the time, can I just call?

 

[2goofykiddos]

Yes, just call and they can look it up. I lost my ressie number and called. They found it no problem.

I just saw the new Merida dresses at the Disney store. Dd was so excited about the idea of a Merida dress, but she didn't like the two options I think they are very pretty, but they are both long sleeved.... I expected they would be. I guess what disappoints me most is that this indicates my dd is getting picky :

 

[mama22]

Are there many older girls, ages 11 to 12 seen at BBB? My DD would like to try it but not sure if it is all younger girls or a mix of ages seen inside.

 

[ADisneyQueen]

I'm wondering about the ages, too. My dd11 wants to go and I am still trying to get her an appt.

Not a lot. But my 11 year old daughter and her 11 year old friend went last year and had a ball. It really depends on the child at that age. It helped that we let them pick their own style...

My daughter tried on the Merida dress over the weekend too. I wanted her to love it as she has curly red hair and blue eyes...neither of us did though It didn't fit her anywhere near as well as some of the others and of course, it is long sleeve which for our trip in September is not at all practical.

We got the Belle dress for my daughter at Castle Couture in 2010 and I think it was about $60. The dress is still in great shape after 2 years and I think the cost was totally worth it. My question is, can you buy the same stuff that they sell at Castle Couture in WDW somewhere online. I've looked at the dresses at disneystore.com, but they are a lot cheaper in price and they don't look the same as the one we have. Should I just wait and get one at CC when we go in November?
