Well, we have a touring plan but I could possibly do it after meeting the princesses and faeries but before Storytime with Belle. I will continue calling...thanks!

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??

8 am is really hard to get. I would try for a later time. Actually if it's not with in the first or second day, you will want it later. Kids get tired quickly at Disney. We tried for BB in 2008 for an earlier appointment (I think it was 9:45) at DTD on the last day of our trip. It was too early for DD and she cried when we got there. We had to cancel. I was disappointed. This past trip we scheduled a little later, and I'm glad we did. It was our second day (first full day) and she still had a hard time getting up and going, but she was so excited about it that she made it and it was pleaseant. For us the whole day was about BBB. We found that if we focused much on toruing MK that day it would just be lousey for us. We did the photoshoot and dinner and met a few characters and thats about all we could do without tiring her out too much.. Then we pinned her hair up and let her swim.

Eeek! Some last minute confusion -- if we do not get the BBB package that includes the photo session, are there any photos taken at BBB that can be added to your Photopass for no charge? Or not unless you buy the photo package (like at the character meals)?

We have BBB booked for 11AM and CRT lunch at 12:05PM-- that's the best I could get. I hope the timing is not too close? Will CRT accommodate?

OH YEAH!!! And does one "tip" the FGIT at BBB or no???

thanks!

When you get there, there is a photopass photographer who will ask for your card. She came around and took multiple shots of my daugther and added them to the photopass. I preordered the CD so I didn't pay for any extra packages.
Also, I did tip. I was so pleased with my daugthers FGIT that I gave her $20 for the $55 package. I probablly should have only gave her $10 but she was so great I couldn't help it.

My DD 7 Has a short bob with bangs we are trying to grow out. It is not long enough for a pony tail can they still do a Makeover? We have a ressie for 1:30 before the MNNSHP and I am having her wear a cute Cinderella nightgown so she won't itch and over heat at the party. She will be so disappointed if we have to cancel the appointment. Does anyone have pictures of a short hair do after BBB? Thanks for all the great advise...

I have seen them do wonderful things with all hair lengths.

Yes you can tip

They have photopass photographers taking pictures the whole time. They put it on your card, so you can order the CD if you wish. You can go to Exhibition hall for a photoshoot anytime after during the day. If you bypass the desk, you won;t be pressured into buyinbg a package and those photos can be put on your CD as well.

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....

I have an update!!! During one of the 100's of calls I made to Disney over the course of 4 or 5 days, one of the CM's encouraged me to write an email to Disney and gave me an address. So I did. I said how much we LOVE Disney and looked forward to touring the parks and going to BBB. I explained the computer situation when I tried to make an appointment.

Fast forward to Tuesday. The phone rings and at first I thought it was a telemarketer. The next thing I hear is that its WDW communications! A Disney exec read my email and was holding an 8 am BBB in MK spot for us for the morning I needed. Yep, I practically fainted! I thanked him sooooo much !!!!!!! Since my girls think I didn't get an appointment, I decided to keep it a secret and surprise them that morning!!!! I am sooo excited...I hope I don't accidently spill the beans!

Last year around this time, new dresses were out at WDW. Are there new dresses this year and does anyone have pictures of the available dresses?

 

[DSoltes7]

I was wondering about the dresses too! Hoping someone has updated pics! I have 2 DD's going to BBB when we go in Sept!

 

[princssdisnygina]

It seems no one posts pics anymore? So... here just for some viewing pleasure... here are a few.

 

[joy13]

I will most definately post pictures when we get back

 

[Disney Brat]

I too was wondering if there were any new dress styles this year...DD is going on Thursday AM

I don't think they get new dresses yearly.

Okay, so I was just on another website and it said BBB castle package $200-250 depending on the dress and shoes you get. All my other research showed the castle package to be like $206 plus tax or something like that. I wanted to keep it around $225.00. So how do I do that? Does it depend on the character (like Cinderella vs Ariel) or is it each character's different dresses (like Ariel's mermaid outfit vs her wedding dress)? Do they help you get the dresses or do they send you off to pick out your own things? I'm now starting to feel a little overwhelmed. Can someone who has done the castle package walk me through what happens? TIA!

Yes! Ok, so you check in and you are the little one go off to the side to pick out which princess she wants to be. They will then get the dressing room ready for her then escort you and her back so she can change. As far as the pricing goes... yes, it depends on the dresses. There are deluxe dresses (i.e. holiday dresses, etc) that are more expensive. Most are pretty standard if they go with a basic princess outfit. We were there in July and I think my total was around $220 and she had Jasmine first then changed to Tinkerbell but the price didn't change. It comes with the dress, wand, shoes and the tiara. Then of course the hairstyle they choose. I hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply. I am just gonna have to tell her straight up, she is getting a basic dress, end of story!
BTW, I went to Crafordsville for a wedding about 15 years ago!

 

[jenseib]

I don't think they have any deluxe dresses anymore. It used to be the red Belle dress and the wedding Ariel. The wedding Ariel is no longer available, and last year we bought it and it was no longer deluxe. I don't think the Red Belle is deluxe anymore either.
