Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[joy13]

Would you do this with tweens? I have an 11 year old and so does my BFF who will be with us. She also has a 6 year old who wants to do this. Our older DD's do not want the dress, but they want their hair and makeup done for dinner at 1900 Park Fare. We thought it would be cute to get them some type of cute sundress for this instead. Would that be OK? Would you do it?

This is a great question. I have a 9 year old and a 3.5 year old and I'm wondering if one is too old and the other too young. They DO love dress up though!!

I've been reading this thread (and it's predecessor) for 2 years now and several girls in those age catagories have done BBB and loved it. If the girl's are interested and you are willing - go for it

The girls are wanting to do it so I guess we will. We make our ADR's this Saturday so I can book it then.

I know this is cool but come on really the BBB is too expensive!!!! And the tea party at the GF is out of ballpark high. Unbelievable what Disney charges. Btw I'm not a miser ... WE stay at deluxe accomendations when we go. me dgd dgs

I know its expensive...... but compared to "normal" salon prices for an updo, its actually about the same cost. It's about $45 -$65 to get your hair done (at least in the boston area - where everything is way too expensive). Its only worth it because you are in disney. You actually get to keep the make up and nail polish. I looked into getting my dd's hair done for her ballet recital..... no way it was going to be $50! So disney actually is not that expensive compared to others. BTW, I am trying to make myself feel better about spending the $54.95 on my DD's hair, make up and nails

I think this question has been answered, but can you buy any of the accessories at BBB over and above your package (i.e. shoes, necklaces, tiara's ect....) Im just doing the middle package b/c we are bring the dress.

I took my DDs 2 trips ago, they were 10 & 8 and they both loved it. I thought that was the end of it, then as we were planning our trip for this year I asked them if they wanted to go again and my now 12 almost 13 year old was the 1st one to yell YES!!!! Then younger DD hollered YES too, but instead of going in Dec. we are surprising them with the trip in Aug. so they are booked for their appts. then.

Yes, if they want to do it then go for it. Lots of girls this age do it.

So, are appts now made 90 vs the old 180 days? Does anyone know what the cancellation policy is? Thanks much!

 

[davidmolliesmum]

thank you.. i know that the pictures taken while the makeover is done go onto photopass... i mean the photo shoot.... can you only have the photo shoot done if you buy the top package?

 

[Twilight Terror]

You can have photos done whatever package you do. They get added to your photopass the same as the ones from during the make over. And last year, we ended up getting photo shoot photos done twice. We had our BBB done at DTD ready for MNSSHP, went to MK and my mum and sister stopped in at the Tonys/Guest Relations bit (while I went to the little girls' room), and the photographer ushered them towards the back to have more photos done! lol

I think if you don't cancel within 30 days or so, they charge the deposit to your credit card.

It is 90 days now and the cancellation policy is actually only 1 day (CM told me this when I made my ARD) Also, they should not charge your CC. They will put want a CC to hold the appt. in case you are no show. Once again, this is what the CM told me. I hope they dont charge my card! I was planning on using disney dollars

I do not mean to hijack this thread at all - I've been lurking for awhile to learn as much as I can about the BBB. I just wanted to throw out there that The Pirates League was designed with the tween (and adult) girl in mind, for those who have outgrown the Princess. The makeup at TPL is professional Ben Nye, and the Empress look (far left in my sig) is much more adult.

I don't think this is the best place to talk about TPL, so check out our thread here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2156668

Thanks... now I return you to your regularly scheduled program!

HOw can I find pictures that are in the Parks and DTD now in 2009 (Princess Dresses) also does anyone know the Mrs. B info or her website on e bay?

 

[jenseib]

Mrs B is ONLY selling on ebay now. She had some bad experiences with people ordering and then never paying, so she is strictly ebay. We can't post links, but here is her seller name there.

This thread has alot of pictures of the dresses, new and old, and most are in the first few pages.

Thanks for the info, I love that Red Belle dress your daughter has on I saw it at the Disney Outlet in NJ over the weekend - but my daughter wanted the yellow one which is pretty too. They are both the deluxe costumes so it was nice to see them on sale.

She wants the mermaid one the only thing is I don't think its as pretty, I know its her choice but I am hoping she wants to use the belle one I bought - it is her birthday gift including a trip to BBB in August. She just turned 4 on wednesday.

 

[kadesha]

How do your kids do in the summer heat with these dresses on? I bought 2 from Mrs. B before our trip in November. The kids wore the dresses all day but complained a lot about how itchy they were. I can't imagine that they will be able to wear them in the summer heat. They have an appointment Monday and I bought them some custom-made boutique dresses to wear. I really love the princess dresses but I can't imagine them wearing them very long in the heat.

Can you bring in your own crown and dress?

 

[Naisy68]

We always bring our own dress and shoes - I'm sure you can bring your own crown too. We save about $150 this way. I actually buy one of the dresses off e-bay when I can, I can usually find one for around $35, one of the really nice and brand new Disney Deluxe dresses believe it or not.

 

[Trishtack]

jenseib - The dress your daughter is wearing is beautiful and seems to be much more deluxe than what I am seeing at our local Disney store and online. Can you share where you got the dress?

I am trying to find pics of what is offered at BBB for this fall as well. Anyone?

Thanks - Trish

 

[2littleprincesses]

My dd is undecided if she wants the pop princess or the disney diva. We are going in August. Anyone have any pictures of these styles and the differences? Thanks!!!
