Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[joy13]

I asked this question a little earlier but I did not get an answer so I am bumping itup again to hopefully get one
Can someone tell me their experience with BBB and African American hair??
MY DD (4) will most likely have braids(single) just barely touching her shoulders..when we go because it will be easier to manage her hair with the swimming and sweating... I am thinking that maybe they can still do the bun because she will have single braids??

also if I got her the smallest package can I just add the photo package on? will be brining her dress with us

Here is what I was remembering from the first FAQ thread - looks like she did have braids!

Anyone can have their photos taken at the Rose Garden, we do it every year! We went to the BBB at DTD this time and had DD's photos taken at that location and then also at the Rose Garden the next day. All photos were added to our Photopass for no extra cost.

For the person who asked about African American hair- while we were at the DTD location the cutest little girl came in and she had her hair all combed out. They paired her with an African American FGIT and she did a terrific job. The girl chose the princess hairdo with the bun and it looked beautiful! The FGIT did do some extra things that I noticed others didn't do and I would imagine this was because she knew how that type of hair needed treated and what would work best.

just wanted to add you don't need to do BBB to do the rose garden. It's my favorite photo spot. I get my birthday picture taken there every year.

I can't remember if it was on this thread or the other BBB....it had to do with the photo package and BBB. Some people were saying that you could go and have photos done at the locations and add it to your photopass. Others said no, they had to pay $29.95

I just called and asked about this and I was told that there is no photopass at the photo studio places and that you must pay $29.95. Rats. I bought the CD for the photo pass and was hoping to have that added.

We were just there last week and we were able to get the photos done and added to our photopass for free. We did the crown package at BBB.

I was wondering if there is a lenghth that's too long for the fairytale hairdo? My hair is 16 inches and I would love to get a cute looking bun, but I don't want to look like I walked out of the 80s.

Thanks

As I said, we were just there on Sept.1 and all the photos we had taken were added to our Photopass. We didn't have to buy anything additional...in fact I used my free 5X7 coupon that you will get with your travel docs if you booked the My Way Package for a BBB photo. We had a photo shoot at the Poly and the photog went ahead and burned us a copy of our Photopass pictures and gave us an additional coupon for 3 free 5X7s. I then had 4 total and used 1 for a BBB pic and 3 for the photoshoot.

I'm not sure who you spoke with but I find it hard to believe the policy has changed in a little over a week. The only photogs taking pics are Photopass people so there aren't separate photogs for BBB.

Oh and she really sings like an angel!!!!

ETA:Woops, I posted this on the other BBB thread, and didn't put it here!

Here are our pictures from our may trip. We did the BBB in the castle. I paid for my three neices and my two girls to have a magical experience, and sadly we only got ONE magical experience. The girls had fun, but it wasn't what it should have been.

I made all the girls dresses except for my neice Tessa's pink Cinderella Mouse made dress, which her mommy, Heathersue, made.



Here are the girls waiting on the couch:

There was a big wet spot on the couch, that's why they aren't all sitting together.

My neices Tessa (in pink) and Courtney (as Snow White, this is the 14 year old I posted about before our trip) deciding which hairstyle they would like:

Lydia with her FGIT, Susan, the most WONDERFUL FGIT EVER!!!

Notice how Susan is smiling in ALL the pictures!

Still Lydia:

The Reveal!

(Lydia is wearing the Giselle curtain dress I made her)

And, here is Arminda's! (She is wearing the Silver Cinderella dress)

(I had just told the FGIT not to put Arminda's bangs to the side)

Pixie dust

Almost reveal time:

And, the reveal!

I don't have as many pictures of Casey and Courtney, because my SIL (there Mom) was taking pictures and they were both getting done at the same time.
And, here is my neice Casey, wearing a Jasmine costume:

I thought this picture was really cute!

Pixie dust!

And the Reveal!!

NOT the hair I would have picked out, but Casey loved it!

Here is my neice Courtney in Snow White:

Pixie dust:

the Reveal

Here is Tessa, in the Mouse Made Cinderella dress her Mommy (Heathersue) made her:

Pixie Dust (I hope they wash these things really well between uses!)

Almost reveal time!

And, the reveal! I think she was nervous!

Here are our photoshoot pics:

Here is my adorable nephew, Sawyer in his Prince Charming outfit Heather made:

Tessa:

Lydia:

Arminda:

Casey:

Courtney:

And all the girls:

The girls looked very pretty, but it wasn't the experience I was hoping it would be. This was a once in a lifetime thing, with all five girls getting makeovers at the same time, and I was really disapointed in how it turned out. Lydia's FGIT was beyond wonderful, I just wish they had all been. Arminda's bun had fallen out within three hours, and I had to try to fix it before we ate at 1900 Park Fare (which exceeded my expectations!)

Thank you so much!! just the info that I needed!!!!!

 

[joy13]

Teresajoy - is Lydia's dress Giselle's "curtain" dress from Enchanted? So cute! All the dresses are beautiful!

You definately can tell the grumpy FGIT'ing from those pictures huh? Some people on the other active BBB thread had some not so great ones as well.

Thanks

It might turn out to be a bit heavy and it'll hurt your head. Let's try and find a happy medium?

My family went to Disney for a week at the end of August. My middle niece is 5 and she loves everything girly. We hadn't planned BBB because we just didn't want to budget for it. Well, once there she kept asking about being Hannah Montana. We went to the CR concierge to find out the prices, etc. We nixed HM when we found out the price and told her she could have one of the princess do's. We went to the BBB in DTD and she ended up getting the Diva Princess hairstyle. She loved it so much that she kept it in for days. Every night we removed the clips and hair and every morning had to put it back in. LOL

My favorite is the reveal...

Did they put the twists in or were those in her hair before? So cute!

Yes, it is from Enchanted. The one she wears while she sings "How does she know?" in Central Park. As soon as I saw that scene, I knew I had to make the dress for Lydia!

 

[MareSINY]

They put in the twists. And they held in her hair for 5 days. She had it done Monday morning and we finally convinced her to take it out on Friday at the pool. LOL They really did a great job!!

Great dresses. I wish I could sew!
