Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[joy13]

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?

The dresses in Disneyworld are the same all year round. There is another thread with pictures of the current dresses.

Yep, no new dresses. The Alice dress is light weight for the most part with short sleeves if your DD is into that. But one lady said she looked all over the park for Alice dresses and could only find extra small, and someone told her they were being discontinued.

Really? I am so glad I got DD one - they are so cute Maybe they are coming out with a new one?

I can't say for sure if that is true or not. But thats what she heard. I was at DTD our last night and went into WOD and the more I think of it, I don;t think they had any alice dresses in there. There was some in the toy store in the UK at Epcot, but I never looked at the sizes.

I started editing my BBB pictures.. I am going to copy from my trip report and post it here.
--------------


We got checked in at 1:10 and I told them Claire would also like the red Belle crown and they handed one to us.
I had forgot something in the stroller, so we went back out real quick since we still had time before our actual appointment at 1:30.

I took a picture of her with her new crown on, and of course she makes a dorky face.

Claire did NOT want to wait outside, She was worried we would miss them calling us. I tried to explain we had time, but she insisted we go back in. I really didn’t want to go back in because the waiting are is small and there were a lot lf people. Oh well, we went back in.

I clicked pictures inside while we waited. Claire asked about every 30 seconds when it would be her turn. LOL!

More pictures while waiting. It was next to impossible to get any of the dresses. People were hoarding around them and it was a tight squeeze in there, so I kind of gave up.

waiting impatiently

I was secretly a little impatient too. LOL!

DH called close to 1:30 asking if we were in yet, and I told him we were still waiting. He said he went for a drive and then drove over to the Richard Petty’s driving experience and was thinking about doing the ride along. I told him to go for it. But he said it wasn;t until 2 and he wasn’t sure he wanted to wait. He did and he did it. He said it was super cool, but didn’t really tell me too much about it, except that he could feel the rubber blowing on him as they went around the track.

About 1:35ish we were called back. Lauren was our FGIT.
She was just OK. I saw others with peppier attitudes and talked more, but I saw worse ones too. Claire picked out the Diva do. I asked her if instead of making the hair look like a bubble (like I had seen in many photos) could she make it more spikey, and she basically said no. She said they had to do it a certain way and if others saw it different then all would ask for that. I was kind of mad about that. I just hate the bubble look. She did say she would try not to bubble it as much. (which I think she totally forgot).

She asked Claire what color of hair extension she wanted, and what does my kid pick….PINK! I said I didn’t think they had pink, but sure enough the do! UGH!

We also met the photopass guy and I let him know we had pre bought the CD. I think he kept confusing us with the people next to us though. He mentioned to them a couple of times about the CD, and they had no clue what he was talking about, so each time I reminded him it was me. LOL! At the time I didn’t think he got that many of Claire and was a bit disappointed. But when I looked at the pictures online I see that he really did take a lot. Much more than what my sister got taken in January. He did miss a lot of the makeup shots though, so I am glad I was there too. His are MUCH better though.


I'll post more when I get them edited.

Lauren puts her cape on her and goes to town. Now Claire will scream and cry at home when I brush her hair, even when I barely touch it, but she sat quiet and still for Lauren. LOL!

How adorable

 

[britfish]

could someone pm me w/ the name of the ebayer everyone refers to in this thread? I would like to prebuy our Aurora dress! Thanks!

 

[jenseib]

She is just loving all the attention

Gotta test and see if those nails are still wet. LOL!

And there she goes….Starting the “bubble” process,

 

[lilmissdisney216]

trying to convince DBF to get the cool dude done as I will be getting a princess makeover at the BBB. We'll be in WDW for my 21st birthday in 2010 and for our 2 year anniversary of being together. I'm making sure everything is special and I thought this would be fun.

 

[jenseib]

Now the finishing process has begun

And a sprinkling of pixie dust! Look at that pink ball of cotton candy on her head! LOL!

And then the crown is placed.

Ready for the big Reveal. I had her pull some hair forward. Usually they put a couple of strands in the clips coming forward, at least in the pictures I’ve seen, but she didn’t. So I had her just pull some forward to make it look like that.

Now close your eyes.

And then because I am a big IDIOT I leave my camera on autofocus and take really nice pictures of the back of her head, instead of focusing on the mirror. Thanks goodness the photopass pictures came out great. (again, can’t wait to get them!)

So these “reveal” pictures pretty much suck…..Sorry! She does love her look though….

 

[jenseib]

After all the fun and pictures and her sash being put on her we proceeded up to pay. Lauren walked up with us and gave Claire her bag of goodies (makeup, nail polish, stickers, extra face jewels and comb). We asked Lauren to sign Claire’s autograph book as well. I paid then. Technically, when you think about it, this was “free” because we used our free gift card we had received with our package. (Same with the castle I bought, for that matter)

Here are some random shots I took while we she was getting done.

Lauren had asked Claire who each of the crowns belonged to. Claire said Belle for almost all of them. LOL She got Jasmines right though.

When she was done, she also kept saying..”wait till Dad sees me”. It was so sweet.

Immediately when we walked out she got compliments on how she looked and how wonderful her dress was. She wasn’t as gracious as she should’ve been and kind of got nasty later in the day. I had to tell her several times to be nice. These people thinks she’s pretty and scowling isn’t the way to thank them.

I think I forgot to mention (or maybe I did LOL) that when we were waiting several people asked about getting the dress Claire had on. One girl even started crying because Claire’s dress wasn’t available at BBB. So I had to remind Claire how lucky she was to have such a pretty dress.

We then headed back up main street towards exposition hall to do the photoshoot.

We stopped and got some photopasses again, but not as many and I wish would’ve done more then.

We then went to Exposition hall and got the photoshoot doen. Now word to the wise. This is supposed to be for BBB guest who paid for the big package. Others can do it too, but the people at the “desk” don’t really like you to do it unless you have bought the package…sooooo…don’t go to the desk. Go straight back to the photographer.

We had a really nice one. I told her (when she asked) that no we didn’t get the photo package, but did pre order the CD. She said “oh good, I can take some special ones then”. Claire made a lot of faces while doing this, but all in all they turned out great. Of course they are on my photopass CD.
She then took a few with me in them, and most turned out like crap. Claire looked so cute in them, but I have this really weird face going on.
The lady also told us that when DH met up with us, to come back and we could get some father/daughter ones. She said do NOT go up to the desk and if she wasn’t there anymore, don’t tell the other person that we had already been there. Just tell them we want father/daughter shots.

This place is suppose to accommodate any guest wanting pictures, with priority to BBB people, but they also want you to buy a package from them. Which is dumb, since you can have them all put on your card/CD and order what you want at home a lot cheaper.

Can I get some more info on the Cool Dude hairstyle? I'm wondering if my 10 and 8 year old nephews would enjoy it, since it's the BBB I think they might be uncomfortable by all the girly stuff, hehe. How much is it? Is it done anywhere else?

Hi,

My son has done the cool dude thing 2x already and he's planning on doing it again in a few weeks. He does have a twin sister, which is why he had it done the first time for their 5th Birthday. At that time he did not want to do it at all. We were at the BBB in DTD and our FGIT was wonderful!!! She spoke to him slowly and assured him she would only do what he wanted, if anything at all. She let him pick the gel colors, the confetti, and she started with a little and then he wanted more. By the end he was very into it! He loved the Mickey head in the back and the colored spikes up top. He even wore it with his Pirate costume with his twin sister!

We are going in a few weeks for his little sister's birthday and immediately said he wanted it done again. He is now 7. I think he likes to change the color of the Mickey in the back He is an avid sports fan and plays football, baseball and more, and he's ok with it.

I think you can also get this done at the babershop on Main Street, as well as at the boutique. It is definitely a conversation starter and he loves the attention he gets. I believe pricing is from $7.50- 9.00, but hopefully someone with recent knowledge can confirm.

If you have any other questions, I will do my best to answer!!

Here are some shots from our last visit :

We just got back, and my DD 10 got the crown package with the princess bun, tiara and diamond Mickey barette in the back. She Loved it!!! Her appointment was at 8am in the castle, and they let us in the front gates around 7:45am. Was awesome getting Main Street and castle to ourselves for before pictures. When they were were finished, they said they were out of BBB sashes....what??? They said all they had was BBB birthday sashes. Well, that is what we got (even though bday in in July). Her bun was great and lasted for three days until we took it down. She got lots of compliments. Also, she has pierced ears, and we found the matching Mickey diamond earrings at the big Toontown gift shop. Well worth the money!!

Need your opinon. My 3 year old really loves this tinkerbell costume http://disneyshopping.go.com/disney...s-&-Accessories-Ballerina-Tinker-Bell-Costume but the wings are huge http://disneyshopping.go.com/disney...494__Costumes-&-Accessories-Tinker-Bell-Wings
Those whose DD have worn tinkerbell costumes, what happened with the wings? Where they a pain to deal with? I am even thinking of not even taking them, but then what is Tinkerbelle without her wings?
