Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[DrRae2B]

Mmmmkaaay....

I've gone thru 70 pages of this post so far and no one has asked the question I have yet.. so here I go:

We are going in May, hoping to do BBB for my DD3. However, my daughter's hair is very curly and supah short. Like, she's 3 and we can't even really get it into piggytails yet (blame it on those Shirley Temple curls?)! So.... what about kids like my Sara, whose hair likely won't even get INTO a bun at all? How could we possibly style my little blonde girl?

Thanks for any ideas!

PS- I'll post pics of her "hair" if anyone needs to... gotta figure out how, first!

I know they try to work around as much as they can. If they can get part of it back, they may do that. But curls will have nothing to do with whether you can get it in a pony tail. Once you stretch the hair back it's still long. The curls won't affect the length of wether you can get it in a pony tail or not. It will make it shorter looking, but if it's long enough to go back they will do it.

I've read many pages of this post, but haven't found any questions regarding dress sizes. We are going this December and want to do the BBB for my 3 girls sizes 12 1/2, 14 1/2 and Junior size 1. Any ideas for dresses and what are the sizes they carry? If they do not carry dresses in their sizes can we still do the Castle package at a lesser price? Also, what is the largest size flipflop, as my 11 year old wears a woman's size 10!!! HELP!!!
BTW - going to DisneyStore.com after Halloween to look for more dresses...

Hey All,

Just finished editing my BBB Video. Figured I would post it for anyone who might be interested in what it entails.

Its just under 20 min, I think the best park is always the reveal.

1st Half
2nd Half

Thank you so much for posting that! DD and I just watched it together. She doesn't know we are going to WDW again let alone that she is doing BBB. She was so excited while we were watching that. She told me that if she gets to go WDW she would love to be able to do that! I told her she better start saving her money!

I am sure she will enjoy it. Have Fun.

yes - 7:00am and any number will work, if you aren't making other ressies, than I'd use that one.

Oops - I neglected to follow up on my own post! I actually ended up having to call the dining reservation number to fix a problem with one of our online ADR's, so I just made our BBB reservations then.

Thanks to all who answered though!

Very excited to have two little princesses booked for their make-overs first thing in the morning, then off to visit the fairies at Pixie Hollow and then back to the castle for lunch with the princesses!

We have a 8:05 am reservation for BBB before CRT breakfast at 9:05am. We will have enough time correct?
My other concern is the "bun" they look so tight. Is that the only hair option? What is the whole hair extension thing? Is this an option? Do they have normal hair colors? DD has very, very dark brown almost black fine hair. She wants the make up and nails just not sure how she is gonna do with the hair part. I reserved time for the hair, make up and nails. I already purchased her dress. Thanks!

The bun isn't that tight, it looks tight from the product the put it. It's just a tucked ponytail. An hour might be a bit tight, but they are just across the hall from each other and at that time of the morning the BBB shouldn't be behind.

They do have natural color hair extensions if you don't want the bun. They have black, brown, blonde and red.

I am SO excited to be able to let my DDs do this when we get to WDW 9/6/09!!! I'm taking a few of their dresses and then go to the one in DTD to see if they have one that the girls would like better before we do the BBB in Cindys Castle....

Do they have the same dresses at DTD and the Castle location???

Thanks to all who have posted!!

 

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

I saw someone asked this, but I didn't see an answer (if it's in the thread somewhere, sorry but I didn't see it)

What size dresses does the BBB carry? My DD is a size 12 right now, and we're going in Dec. Don't know if she'll grow between now and then

I know we can buy a dress to bring it, but I think part of the fun is choosing which princess to be spontaneiously, and then have the dress and assessories in the dressing room, waiting for her to put on. Not to mention not having to carry a dress around the park until her appointment

Thanks!

The parks carry the same dresses all through out.

I know they don't have alot of bigger sizes. I can't remember off hand how big most go, but I do know there is only a select few that go up to 14. Hopefully someon else can answer better.
But if you know you DD wants a particualr princess and can find it before you go, then I would get it then.
On a side note. We brought our dress from home, but I hid it from DD and brought it along. While she slept, I se ti tout and had a note from the fairy godmother. So she thinks her dress is a gift from the fairy godmother. It was very exciting to her, she didn't miss out on picking out a dress, as she had a unique one that she loved and felt super special with. When people asked where she got it, she would proudly say the FG left it for her. And people really beleived that we had a FG come to our room I think. LOL! I tried to explain that the FG got it at Disneyshopping.com though. LOL!

DD5 is going to do BBB (MK) at 9h15 & we have CRT booked for 12h55,
I wanted a later BBB ressie but there's none left for that day !

I asked the CM on the phone if they had a photo studio in the castle so I could take my own pictures but she said there's no such thing. I know about Photopass & that they'll take pictures while the makeover is going on & then give me a card but I though I could use some time to take more shots...
I'm pretty sure I read about a studio before ?

I don't want DD to be walking in her princess dress all around MK, given we're going to be there during september (hot weather!!!!!!). What can we do between BBB & CRT, we'll likely have 1 hour & a half to kill ???

 

[emcreative]

The photo studio at MK is in the Town Hall. After BBB my daughter and I walked down there and took some shots on our own in the other photoops they have there, then did a portrait session. After that we had a snack at Main Street Bakery and took in Monster's Inc Laugh Floor. It was all very slow paced and COOL (it was the end of July!)

You can try up to the day to switch the reservation. If you can't get it to a later time you could go on some rides. I know that a lot of parents will take their kids on like the CGC and take pics as they ride on the horses. A lot of times, the fairy godmother and/or step sisters will be outside the back of the castle so you can get pics with them. Walking to and from the photo studio will take a 1/2 hour or so just in that. I would stick to FL rides personally or the characters if they are outside!

 

[dsneygirl]

Hello everyone,

I'm a bit worried about BBB, lol!

We have an appointment at 8am for two children. The girl will be 3 years, 9 months and the boy 3 years, 3 months. Of course this is really for the girl but the boy is joining in to get his hair colored and have some fun pics with his cousin.

The part I'm worried about is the 8am reservation time. I initially thought this would be good so the kids could get done up and have some time in the park and do some castle photos without the crowds before it opens at 9. The thought was that they could either then do some rides or a photo shoot in exposition hall before breakfast in the castle at 10:20.

These kids are usually up between 6am and 7am most mornings but what I forgot to take into account was that this is the last day of a week long trip so their sleep schedules may be different by then.

How do we get there on time?
-- The one family is staying at All-Star Sports, the other at Wilderness Lodge. How will we get to the Magic Kingdom in time for 8am from these resorts? Are the busses & boats running?

What happens if we don't make it on time? Maybe we're 15 minutes late... what happens then? Will they still try to fit us in?

Thanks everyone!

I couldn't get BBB ressies. I tried...really I did. I counted down from over 400 days until our 90-day window opened last Thursday at 7am. That was the day the computers were being "enhanced". All day Thursday thru Monday I called many, many, many times. Sometimes I got the answer that no one could make reservations due to computers not loading info for Nov 4th...and sometimes I got the answer that there were no times available. This went on and on until today, when I was informed that it was way past the 90-day window (uh duh...I know I have been calling since 7am that day) and all the ressies were taken for that day ( I wanted 8 am on Nov 4th). Can you believe it? I spent hours and hours making repeated calls and getting up early each day to make that all-important 7am call. And nothing. I am sooo dissappointed.

I even made them special outfits to wear for it....

This might be a silly question but did you try both locations? We had an 8am reservation at the castle for our DD a couple weeks ago and, wow!! that was early, it took awhile for our princess to wake up and enjoy the experience. Of course we live in Mountain time and that was Eastern time so, it was more like 6am for us meaning we actually woke up around 3:30am our time. Anyway, it all turned out great after she got over her morning grumpiness. It was kinda nice having the Magic Kingdom to ourselves for a little bit too. The only down side was that she wanted to change and take her hair out by noon that day as it was simply too hot for her. We were there in July though. I'm sure November will be a touch cooler.
Keep trying, sometimes you can get in after a cancellation.
* The outfits you made are very cute and look comfortable too.
Have a Disney Day, Renee

According to the CM on the phone this afternoon...there is only a 10:15 left at the DTD location. We tour ropedrop till 2 pm so the only time that would fit in would be the 8am time. Going after naps in the DTD location would be ok but then they would just go back to the house and swim...kinda not the same effect. I will keep trying though....anyone have 8am ressies for Nov 4th they want to give up??
