Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[MsFGIT]

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.

Yes, it appears that way to me as well. For the record.

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.

I know when we were there last year, no one seemed unhappy

I took my DGD Makayla to DTD last week. They were running about 30 minutes late. It only took 10 minutes to complete her hair, nails and make up, but that was probably a good thing. She doesn't like to sit long. She was amazed at herself, and just kept staring in the mirror. The FGMIT were very nice, but rushed. We went into the castle several times and it was PACKED with people waiting. I think that the whole concept has gotten so popular and so big that it isn't all that manageable anymore for the CM's.
But here are some photos I took.

I still had problems with the CM and the photography session. I inquired when we checked in about the separate session and was told we couldn't do this unless we paid $29.99. I explained that I was told that I could have this added to my photo pass, and she said there are no photo pass photogs there,,,and I had to pay to have it done. I decided to just go and check it out, waited in line and when we got to her turn, I told the photopass photog (yes, they are photo pass photogs) that I didn't pay the money, and they said it was fine. The only thing was that they wanted to see my receipt that we had indeed gone to the BBB that day. I don't know if that is a requirement or not. This was at DTD. They were very nice and spent a lot of time with each child. I had them added to my photopass and am buying the CD. All in all, it was very nice. I think Makayla only appreciated it long after the fact when everyone was paying attention to her..."Make way for the princess" etc.

She is so sweet in both the Before and After pictures. Thanks for sharing these.

I can't wait until our trip.

Thank you so much. It really makes WDW so much fun to see everything through a child's eyes. We had our grandson with us also. He went on the Pirate hunt boat...I can't remember the exact name...it was from the Yacht Club and it was $40 I think. They gave the children pirate bandanas and took them on a treasure hunt, told them stories and gave them lunch. It was a 2 hour event and my DGS who is 4 loved it. He came back with a bag of treasures. He dressed like the knight from Narnia the night of Cinderella's castle and she was dressed like Cinderella. It was great fun!

adorable, I love her hair.

adorable, I love her hair.

Thank you. The hotter it gets, the more she perspires, the curlier it gets! She ends up with ringlets all over her head. That's why it was so hard for her to believe it was her in the mirror!!! She is funny too....when someone would call her a princess, she would say, "No, I am just dressed up like a princess I am Makayla and I am just a little kid."

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.

We had four bad experiences, but one absolutely outstanding experience. I don't think Lydia could have had a more perfect FGIT!

The castle will be just fine, you are old enough to engage any FGIT with conversation. I've been posting on all the BBB threads since the castle opened, the last week is the first I've ever heard anyone complain about the castle BBB and I'm pretty sure I've read every post on all 3 threads. We went there and it was wonderful.

I have rarely heard of bad experiences too. I actually wonderd what people are talking about. I have heard others say they "heard" of bad experiences ,but not sure where they heard them?

There have been people on the dis who have had not so pleasant experiences. One of them I have gotten to know over the past year or more from the disboutique thread. In my own experience, and I have been to WDW 4 times this year, I have visited the BBB in the castle. THe atmosphere was not joyous or relaxed, but somewhat subdued and stressed. I think this is due to the amount of bookings they have. Perhaps the expectation at the castle is too great at times. I will try the castle next time, but for the first time I chose DTD. We all have our own expectations and our own opinions. So for me, I trusted my dis friend and decided to go downtown.

Does anyone have any recent pictures of the dresses at BBB or at World of Disney (or anywhere that princess dresses are sold at DW)??? Are the dresses from page one of this post the ones that are being sold now? Its dated 2007, so I am just curious!

These pictures are on the first page of an other thread about the BBB. It has all of the retired dresses, and the new and the accessories.
The name of that thread is:
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique ~ ALL you need to know + Pix of NEW costumes!
but I don't know how to post so you can just click on it!

 

[maryannlandin]

Thank you bsusanmb. Do you know if these are the exact dresses being sold there now? I love the tinkerbell dress that is on page one of this thread. I'm only luke warm about the one pictured above. I want to place an order with Mrs B, but I am waiting to see if anyone has any recent pictures of what is at the park.

Thanks again for copying and posting those pictures for me. I really appreciate it.

 

[bellaDisneydncr]

I do believe those are the ones there right now. The OP of that other thread did extensive research lol and went and took pictures of the current costumes.

Yes, these are the new dresses, we just came back from our 3rd trip in 4 months and I bought all of the WDW dresses from Mrs. B before our 3rd trip. She has the new dresses. The photos don't do them justice. We also have the older style Cinderella and I like it a lot. The new Tink is really adorable in person. It has little stretch green shorts under it. I must say that the new styles do not itch as much as the older ones. Makayla never complained once of itching. In all of the old ones she did and wouldn't keep them on.

If you go to that other thread, the poster also has all of the retired older dresses too.

 

[maryannlandin]

Thank you everyone for your help!!!! We decided we are getting the Cinderella and another Jasmine from Mrs B. I am soooo glad I found out about her. You guys all rock!

 

[Alimarie12]

Please fill me in on Mrs B? Pretty Please
