Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[ireland_nicole]

I'm waiting for my photopass CD, but can offer my opinion on a couple of things . We were at the castle BBB on Sept. 9th. We booked the middle package, and brought our dress from Mrs. B; DGM bought DD a crown to go w/ it at BBB; DS also got the Cool Dude; I brought his Prince Caspian outfit w/ him as well. Yes, they were running behind- a lot. I attribute this, at least in part, to being a MNSSHP night. After we were finished, we rode a couple rides, picked up our wristbands, and went to the exposition hall to get our pics. The photographer was sweet; and another photopass photographer there for the party happened to walk up and give us some other ideas, too! We had prepurchased our photopass CD, and they just added the pics on. I think total he took about 30 shots. Of course, now that I've been playing w/ borders, B&W, etc. I'm up to almost 60.(gotta get my moneys worth, huh?) Our FGIT was lovely, and so were the FGIT's around her. All the kids were having a lovely time, although it was very crowded. I think a lot of issues people may have relate to a difference between what they may have expected; perhaps a very personal, relaxed experience; and what it actually is; a very busy "salon" experience. My expectations were completely met, my kids had a wonderful time, the photographers were great, gots lots of great shots during the process, the ladies at the register were particularly lovely; they really made DD feel special. It was great being able to do everytnhing in one park w/o running everywhere on a party day. For our next trip in 2009, I think we'll try the DTD location, just to try something different. But I would definitely go back to the castle as well. Just my .02

Please fill me in on Mrs B? Pretty Please

Mrs B is a woman who sells Disney World dresses (the ones pictures a few posts back). She sells them for $29 plus shipping ($7.95 I think) She is GREAT!!! I was very happy when I ordered from her last time. You can find her on e-bay by using the searching for seller function. Her ID is wantsnneeds4u. Send her a message telling her what size/ dress you want and she will tell you if she has it. Then she will send you a pay pal invoice and after you pay (I mean like minutes. lol) she will send you your stuff.

I'm glad everyone in your party had a wonderful experience!

I guess you are right, I was expecting all the FGIT to be like Susan. I thought they'd talk to the kids and tell them wonderful stories. (like I had read about here, and like Susan did)I thought the other FGsIT would listen and respond to the girls when the girls talked and chatted to them. When the other FGIT didn't, I was very disapointed. If I had went in just expecting it to be a place to get your hair done, I would have been better prepared for the actual experience. Although, I KNOW that other people have had the experiences like we had with Susan, so I don't think that it was just a fluke. Obviously, I still believe that BBB can be magical, or else I woudln't keep coming back to this thread. It makes me so happy to see how much fun people have!

Does the coach package include the little tiara?

 

[Naisy68]

This isn't really a BBB question but can someone tell me about the photopass CD? Can you add the borders etc. once you order the CD or do you have to "doctor" your pics before the CD is purchased?

Does the coach package include the little tiara?

It just depends on the hairstyle you pick if you get the tiara. It comes with the bun style. (Classic Princess?)

You have to add the borders before you place the order for your CD. Once you order it, you can't change it.

Thanks! So if we do the coach package with the classic princess hairstyle they will get the makeup, hair, and sash correct? Will they also be able to do the photo session? I have three girls so just trying to find ways to cut costs. We are bringing our own dresses. Thanks!

If we are doing the middle package without buying the dress at BBB.....will they let us use the dressing rooms there to get our daughters dressed, or do we need to arrive in the dresses?

Yes, that's correct, makeup, hair, sash, photo session That's what we got in May. Are you going to the castle of DTD?

You can get dressed there in the dressing area.

No, you have to add all of that before you purchase the cd. You can do it all online and do all the adjustments you want then purchase the cd. But no, you cannot do it afterwards.

Hi....I learned a lot about the BBB from this thread, so I thought I'd add our experiences at the MK BBB and the Exposition Hall photos. We brought our girls dresses from home. The appointment was for 8:30 AM so the girls put their dresses on at the hotel and we went to the appointment already dressed. The nice thing about having the appointment before the parks opened was that the girls got to walk down main street and up the castle with no one else around The appointment ran on time and it took about 45 minutes for both girls to be done. They had their appointment at the same time sitting side by side. I told the photopass photographer we already prepurchased our CD so to please snap away like crazy for me! After our CRT breakfast, we headed down to Exposition Hall for our photo shoot. They did several poses for each girl, plus a sibling shot. When I got home, I edited them, cropped, added borders, and then purchased the CD (you input the promotion code you got when preordering so that you don't pay for the CD or shipping). I got my CD within a week of submitting my photos.

Adorable!! That one of your girls hand in hand walking up to the castle is too cute! I'm sure they will have that memory forever!

Ok thanks! We are hoping for MK, but at this point we'll take what we can get! We are a little late in making our ADR.

My princess is going on 10/23, and we decided to do the Castle package for her 4th birthday. If I get he crown that goes with the package and she chooses the bun, will they still give her the other tiara that comes with and the Mickey barrette?

My baby girl is only 2, so no BBB treatment for us this year, but I was wondering if you can still go in and buy the dresses and accessories? Or is there somewhere else on Disney property to get them? Or do they sell them everywhere on Disney property and we shouldn't even worry about looking for them because they'll be all over the place.

They sell them EVERYWHERE!! A great place to buy them is at Downtown Disney in that huge World of Disney Store, you can even buy them at the resort gift shops (at least you could at the Grand Floridian)

POP Century had some too. The Emporium in MK had a big selection as well.
