Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[eandesmom]

a much better deal the BBB cool dude and included much needed haircuts! Only one of the 2 would go for the pixie dust but he was in heaven with all the attention he got for the rest of the day. We will go back!

It is first come first serve, we waited about 20 minutes and were able to escape the insane valentines crowds and back to back parades (twirl mania and celebrations). Plus it was hot out so it was a nice hideaway! They also do a really neat baby's first haircut and pixie dust on anyone (so for the under 3 crowd, a good option!). Of course we saw plenty grown men and women in there getting pixied. Only boys and men getting actual cuts though. For girls or women they would put it in a pony, put on color of choice and then sprinkle with pixie dust, or just put hairsrpay on your existing do and sprinkle away. The girls below were just girls that came in after us for "dusting" One guy got a bouquet of roses painted on the back of his head!

The finished product!

Girls with pixie dust

A girl can go to BBB 4 weeks prior to her third B-day. they have turned people younger away, and some have gotten in.

sometimes it depends on the cast member who does the ressie as well. My friend tried to book for her dd who was turning three the day after they left and the cm told her no so she called back.

Oh, I know about BBB! I meant that it would be obvious DD is not yet 3 as she will have not have a park ticket. So, we couldn't sneak her in as a 3. Or do you think BBB might "bend?" I am such a rule-follower ("If we break the rules for you, then we have to break them for everyone then we have 16-month-old babies in here!")

DD has been twice and the first time she was only 28 months old. This was at the DTD BBB, but no one asked us any questions. She sat on my lap for the process and it was pretty obvious she was not 3 as she was still in diapers. I don't know if they are more strict now, this was almost 2 years ago.

Here is a picture.

we are going on our first trip in june! my dd is 9 so i was afraid she might be "too old" to truly enjoy the bbb experience, but after reading several posts here about 8-11 year olds loving it i decided to show her some pictures on here and she is so excited!

i thought i read somewhere bbb had a "pirate princess" look? anyone else or did i imagine that? of course, my 9 year old thinks that would be wonderful, more so than a standard princess. she has a pirate princess costume (a black and red long "tutu" style skirt and a black tank embellished with a skull and cross bone) that i could bring for her to wear....anyone else do a pirate princess make over, or see anyone doing while they were there??

The pirate makeover is a certain hairpeice that they have for the disney diva - it was white and black hair with skull and crossbones in it. If she likes that pirate princess costume - I would bring it. They have tiaras with a skull/crossbones on it that you could buy (they have them at the gift shop by POTC for sure - they may have them at BBB too) and have them add to the diva hairstyle (that one doesn't come with the tiara - but you can buy it and they'll add it in) and then even if they don't have the pirate hairpiece anymore - she'll have that tiara.

I just booked for the DTD location for our 5th birthday!! WOO HOOO!!! Has anyone been to the DTD location lately, and did you like it?? I have done it but it has been a while. We did the castle per last birthday, and it was very rushed, so I am going back to DTD this time for a switch. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get to do the makeover in the window, that would be soooo cool, but they just randomly pick someone I was told by the woman on the phone.

 

[jenseib]

bump!

 

[tallen429]

Price help please! I read through alot of this thread but it's sooooooo long!

With the Castle Package, what is the difference between paying $189 and $249? Is it the dress you choose, number of accessories...etc??
I'm thinking Tink for DD....
Also can someone PM me the ebay seller's info please? (Mrs B??)

 

[jenseib]

The cost is per dress and the assessories. The deluxe dresses cost more. I'm not sure if there are any deluxe dresses anymore though.
We are bringing our own dresses this year.

I just booked my girls (7 & 5) for BBB at DTD. I wanted the one at the castle but it was all booked. We are eating lunch at CRT that day, which I finally just got in for, so that's why I'm calling a little late for the BBB. Anyway, I had a few questions... Is the DTD location as "magical" as the castle location? Also, we are doing the crown pkg. and what does that include, as far as, the crown and the mickey clip? Do we pay for those seperately? I just want to do the classic princess bun, so no extensions.
How many FGMs work on the girls, how much do you tip each?

Wow, as I write this, it's really adding up $$$ for 2 little girls...

TIA!!

Does anyone know what they can do (if anything) with princesses who do not have alot of hair?? DD is going, and her sister would like to go too, but she does not have alot of hair. I can put it in pigtails, and I can do a ponytail ontop of her head, but it is only about 2-3 inches long when I do that. Does anyone have photos of hair done on princess who do not have alot?

 

[jenseib]

Yes DTD is magical too. It is the origional. I actually would rather go there ,as it seems not quite the madhouse that I have seen and heard the castle to be, but for us, it works out better to go to the Castle for this trip.
The bun style includes the clip and tiara, the others do not, but you can buy them if you want them.
Tipping for hair services is 15- 20 % of the service. I think the packages are around 50-55, so 15-20 % of that. You can do more if you like. If you get the big package, most of that is retail and tipping does not have to be a percentage of that, just 55 (I don't have the current prices in front of me to know for sure if that is right) would be service cost. If I have an extra person working on my DD I will divide the tip and give the other person a portion of it most likely. But that is just me. You can tip as much as you want, or not at all. Only recently were they even allowed to accept tips. And though they do a wonderful job, they are not licensed cosmetologist.
I am one, so I have a hard time with no licensed people being allowed to work on people. LOL! We were drilled in beauty school bqck in the day how this was a big no no and that they could never be paid for services done either. BUT these girls do have some kind of braiding license, which is not available in my state.

Thanks so much for all the info!! I'm glad the crown and clip are included. So it doesn't seem like so much then.

Not sure if you mean thickness or length, but my daughter's hair is pretty short. I can't get it up in a pony myself, but they were able to at BBB...I was thrilled. Here are some of her pics so you can judge.

It stayed all night, minus a few strays...I put a little water in my hand and slicked it back up with no problem. I've heard some say they had problems with it staying up...her hair stayed and she was rough with it!

I don't think your DD's hair is short at all. I'm a cosmetologist and in a salon we would consider that medium.
I have seen shorter ones and they do a small ponytail or bun and leave the stragglers down.

Sorry if this was already on here -

How long does the cool dude take?

And how long does the basic package take?

Ive never been inside. I scanned the thread but didnt see the answer. My kids want to go to the boutique in the morning and do MNSSHP later that night. What do you think?

 

[budmonster]

Has anyone been in the last couple days or week, I was wondering how the Princess' dresses are looking? Summery or are they still the heavy long ones. I just ordered the Ballerina Princess dresses off of disney.com (SB and Cindy) and DD10 doesn't really like the way they feel. lots of itchy tulle underneath. So I debating weather or not to send them back and wait til we get to DW to get some dresses?

ps. by the way I got the SB one and it smells real real bad, I've never had a dress come from disney smelling like this before has this happened to anyone else?

I havent had smelly dresses with disney but I have had ones straight from the vendor come in smelly...especially brightly colored prom dresses. Some of the dyes smell like fish. Nice, right? When wrapped in plastic, it makes the smell stronger.
