What does FGIT mean? Sorry, for my ignorance

 

[Naisy68]

I'm now worried, I have MK BBB booked for the night of MNSSHP and the sad things I've heard about the FGIT makes me wonder if I made the wrong choice. Maybe I'll call tomorrow and see if I can switch to DtD.

I know others have stated negative experiences about the BBB at MK but our experience there was grreat! We were also watching the FGITs around ours and they were just as wonderful as Jennifer was for us. I think that when you check in, put a little bug in the ear of the lady there about wanting someone really good for your little one and I'll bet your experience will be great too! That is just my opinion though! Here are a couple pics of our experience there.

FGIT = Fairy Godmother in Training - this is what the CMs at BBB are called. Don't worry, it took me awhile to figure out all the acronyms too!

another couple of questions: (sorry there are so many, our budget is tight I'm trying to make sure this is worth the $ for me)

I know there are photopass people taking photos of the trasformation, I was just wondering how good they are about photogaphing adults. My dad is really bad at using my camera, but I would love photos of the transformation.

I was able to get an 8:05a reservation at Downtown Disney, but won't have a car. Do Disney buses go to DtD that early?

Thanks. (I'm sure I'll come up with some more questions before I leave, I may even change the day I do my hair)

They do just as good of a job with adults as they do kids!

As far as the bus goes, talk to the hotel and tell them what you have scheduled. If the bus does not run that early they will make sure a "MICKEY" bus is there to take you, which is a special bus for early mornings such as yours!

Please don't base your opinion on a few negative reports! There are just as many wonderful FGiTs at the castle as there are at DTD! Sometimes it just depends on how well personalities mix. I've even seen all the FGiTs mentioned as grumpy create magical moments.

Great thread!

I am debating on whether or not to take my DD who will be 3 years and one month at the time of our next visit. She loves the princesses especially "Rella"/"Cinderelli" and Ariel. She loves to be prettiful and dress up. She lets me do her hair with no problems and even enjoys it at times.

I was thinking about doing it on our last full day there when I plan on making a CRT ressie. DH says she's too young and won't remember. I say why not!! He says to wait until we go in 2010 when she will be closer to 5 years old. Hmmmmmmm......

I think I will book and play it by Mickey-ear. If by that time she HATES getting her done I will cancel.

I say do it! She may not remember but you will! Plus you will have some great photos to share with her later in life!

You know what......I think I will!!! Now which package should I get!!!

If you want to splurge go with the castle package. If not go with the crown package every girl loves to get her nails painted and it's only $5 more then the base package.

I think I will go with teh castle package just because I want her to have a new dress and the picture package. I will have DS get the Cool dude if he wants.

Is there a good FGIT that I can request at MK I'm an "older girl" (22) but my dad is taking me to get ready for the ball (MNSSHP).

Thanks.

Do these have to be 180 day out ressies or are they with the 180+10 if you stay onsite??

She will remember! My DGD is 3 and she remembers everything from our trip when she was 2! I think it is because of the pictures and video we have, plus anything special like the SBP meal, she remembers well. DGD just had her BBB this week and she just kept staring at herself in the mirror...it was funny, like she didn't recognize herself. She also had dinner at the castle and I am sure she won't forget that. So I say, go for it!

We are taking my niece to WDW during New Year's. This will be her first trip. I booked BBB on NYE, because I thought she would enjoy it. I am seeing mostly 4-6 yr olds getting this done. She will be 9 in October, is that too old? Funny question for Disney, huh? Because your never too old there, hahaha.

What is NYE?

My DD went to WDW last year at age 2, and this year age 3, and she remembers alot from both trips and talks about them all the time. She can even tell what happened at one trip opposed to the other.

Thanks.

We had Rhonda - but it was a year ago, so I don't know if she's still there or not. She was great with my DD and her hair was done very well.

Also -Angiebelle, who is a dis'er and posts on this thread, is a FGIT at the castle - that would be fun if she's working that day. Someone had her and posted pictures that showed her nametag, so you would have to correct name. I can't remember if it's this thread or the dress thread though.

Yes, Rhonda is still there. She's great.

My real name is Angela. I've had the pleasure of meeting a handful of DISers at the BBB. There's a college program FGiT named Allie who posts here as well- she writes on the trip report board. She's really sweet.

Requests for FGiTs are not guarenteed, but there's no harm in asking.

For the record, the vast majority of the guests who come to the castle for their makeover leave very happy. Or at least it appears that way to me.
