Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[december]

I had ds11's hair cut at the barbershop in 2006. He loved it, and if we luck up and walk in with no lines on a future trip, we'll do it again. We checked last year, but the line was long!

But I don't see my dd8 getting all emotional over a hairdo there! I think the BBB will be a magical experience for the both of us.

Has anyone ever made the princess dresses from a pattern, like McCalls? My girls complain so much that the costumes from the store are so itchy I thought my aunt could make some with less harsh materials. I've read that other Disers DD have complained about the itchiness too. What have you done to stop that. If you have made your own costume, can you include it. We are doing BBB as a surprise for the girls and want them to wear their costumes that morning and just take them there and then to CRT for breakfast. TIA.

Check out the disbotiuqe thread :

Some of the girls have made them, but I haven't tried it yet.
I am about to attempt a Cindy or Belle dress. The licensed patterns are discotimued, but I found them at www.sewingpatterns4less.com . Good luck!!

Do you think that I will be able to find the new Ariel dress in MouseGear in Epcot? We have a 6:30 Adr and we will be staying in the BWI and my dd wants this dress so badly for the dinner...

When we were at Epcot last month Mouse Gear did NOT have the Ariel dress, they had almost all the others though! We did see it in shops in the Contemporary and Grand Floridian... if you were planning to take the monorail you might be able to stop by there.

Ah, the great 3 year old debate...
The thing is, all 3 year olds are not created equal. I have seen some 3 year olds sit more patiently than some 5 and 6 year olds do, but I've also seen some terrible, TERRIBLE situations in which the younger ones are scared, nervous, crabby, etc....fists flying, tears flowing.
Please use your own discretion. You know your child better than anyone else, so only you can tell yourself whether or not she'll be able to sit still in the chair or imagine how she might handle it. You might try having a practice round - a couple of weeks before your appointment, play make-believe and set up a chair for your dd to sit in, and and explain that this is how things might go at bbb...comb her hair, make a ponytail, maybe even pretend to paint nails and put on makeup. How she handles it may or may not be an indication of how things will go at the actual appointment, but...you might get some idea. My advice: make sure dd is well-rested, well-fed, and is very clear on what the bbb is and what we do there! And of course, hope for the best

I also think it depends on when you schedule it in your trip.We did it for our last day, and DD talked about it nostop. And she was so excited. But we went many days with little sleep, and she got sick the day before we left. So we arrived at BBB and she suddenly didn;t want it and cried, so I didn;t push her. She talks about how she cried and didn't get it done. So we did a Libby Lu do at the Mall of America a few weeks ago, andboy she loved it and sais she hopes to go to Disney again so she can get a BBB du!

I have made the dresses with Simplicity patterns before. I have done Jasmine, Tinkerbell, Sleeping Beauty, and Alice in Wonderland. The only time I sew is basically Halloween Costumes (except for the occassional hemming or repairs). If you don't normally sew, the patterns could be a little difficult to follow. Even though I don't sew a whole lot, I know how to sew pretty well. Mother and Grandmother were teaching me from about the time I was old enough not to run a needle through my finger.
I know that the itch factor was discussed, but if you are doing it for the cost, it wouldn't be that much cheaper to make it yourself. If you factor in the cost of the pattern, thread, notions (such as zippers, lace, beads, bias tape), material, linings, etc; it really isn't a whole lot cheaper to make them. I guess it depends on the material that you are using though.
I will admit that the dress patterns are all very cute though.

Bought this dress last week at BBB (4th of July) The arms are way to small, so they pulled the dress off the racks to be redesigned. Anyone seen it this week at BBB of anywhere else on property? It is so beautiful. But so tight around the arm hole!

TinkerCarol what a beautiful dress, that's a shame about the sleeves. I hope they get that fixed. Is it all the princesses wedding dress or does each princess have it's own wedding dress? just wondering.

From what I've read they made it a generic princess wedding dress. That way they can be whoever they want to be.

I had no intentions in doing BBB this trip, as I did the big package on last years trip. Now thanks to TinkerCarol's post of that beautiful picture dd wants to go again. I guess I'll get on the phone soon...Thanks for sharing, now I can plan ahead!

TinkerCarol-Thank you so much for posting!! What a gorgeous picture-Your DD is so beautiful!

Would you mind answering, is this a generic wedding dress? My one daughter just loves Giselle and I am wondering if this will satisify her! Is this a basic dress or a "deluxe"...trying to budget accordingly

Thank you!!

I'm not TinkerCarol, but I can answer this one for you. It is indeed an all purpose wedding dress. I think the little heart on the front has Belle, Cinderella, and Aurora on it. I think it'd be perfect as Giselle. If you are crafty, maybe you can get a little pretend white butterfly at a craft store or something and add Giselle's signature butterfly to the dress.

 

[Disnini]

AngieBelle, thank you so much! That is a fabulous idea!!!

I already have a Giselle doll that I had picked up a while ago to give her while we are in Disney, too!!

 

[AngieBelle]

Oh, I forgot to add- the wedding dress is indeed a deluxe, so it's a more pricy $85.

 

[Tanzanite]

Hi this is a beautiful dress does any one have the new Ariel dress or the cinderella dress thanks

 

[bellaDisneydncr]

The wedding dress is gorgeous!! and your daughter looks so adorable TinkerCarol!

We were just at Disney this past week. I saw the new Ariel dress. It's really nice. I liked it the best (but don't have a pic, sorry!) of all the one I saw.

 

[MLC]

does anyone have pics of the new dresses?

 

[Minnie824]

I haven't read thru this whole thread but have a couple of questions.
1. for the deluxe package, theres a range in prices...is this based on which dress is picked?
2. Does anyone have a photo of their DD getting their hair fixed and NOT put up? My DD7 wants to have the full package w/the dress, etc, but said she'd take her hair down right away, which is obviously pointless. So, I wanted to see if there was another option for a hairstyle that she could deal with. Thanks!

Yes, the ranges is dependent on which dress is picked. As far as the hair goes... all of the styles are up so you may want to reconsider having her do this if she isnt going to leave her hair us. There is the diva where the fake hair hangs down in the back but her hair would be in a bun. I would not spend the money if she isnt going to wear it like that all day.

The white princess dress at bbb in the castle is exclusive to the castle bbb only. You will not find it at the bbb in dtd. Because the bbb at dtd has the Hannah Montanna makeover pkg. the Castle now has the princess wedding dress and that would be a deluxe pkg with the dress being 85$.
