Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

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!

When you are shopping at BBB with your daughter, a FGIT will be with you shopping so you can ask her what the price of the dress is or what the price of the shoes are as you are shopping. For a lot of moms, it makes a diff because if you pick the lowest cost of dress and shoe (example: belle dress with gold flip flops) it will be at the lower end of the price range they give you. Belle dress is 65 plus tax and flip flops are 18 plus tax..as of May when I worked there. It does not matter what hair style you pick..they are all the same price!!! Hope that 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!

You must have been at Wabash College for the wedding? That is where I work! Not much here... but its home for now!

Hi everyone - Our daughter did the BBB two years ago when she was 6 and loved it. She was princess Aurora but this year just wants to buy a nice dress. Any ideas on what other girls wear who do not dress as "princesses" or where I should buy a dress?

Also, we will be going to BBB at the Magic Kingdom can you request a certain person. I have read some reviews that the FGIT have not been extremely happy with the kids. Thanks for any help.

If she just wants simply a nice dress that isnt disney princess, I'd just find one at home and bring it. There aren't really fancy dresses that aren't a princess. You could try looking at the Emplorium for a simple dress or at World of Disney but if you have something in mind at home, you might just want to bring your own and she can change in the room at BBB.

You can request a FGIT given she is working that day. If you have an idea of who you want, you can ask at the podium when you check in if she is working or not. If you want you can PM me, I worked there for a year and 1/2 and I can maybe suggest some "back ups" if the one you want is not working!!

Can anyone tell what sizes these dresses go up to? I have a somewhat chunky 7 year old that wears a size 16. She more tummy than anything. The last thing I need is to get there and while my 5 year is enjoying herself...my 7 year old is in tears because she can't find a dress to wear.

I think the dresses only go to a size 12 but I could be wrong because I remember seeing older girls in dresses. The only downfall to buying a bigger dress for your younger daughter is that is may drag on the ground and be too long for her.

I'm pretty sure up to 14, BUT I think only 2 or 3 go that high. I can't remember, but it seems like Jasmine was one.

My daughter is now 9 1/2 and needed a larger dress for her trip to BBB last September. She is very tall and not a skinny minny. LOL I was able to get a Snow White dress (from Disneyland) on Ebay in a size 14 that fit her really well, The bodice is soft and stretchy so she had plenty of room. I plan on her wearing it again when we are at WDW in 2 weeks!!

Thanks so much. I just know my DD will pick out the most $$$$ one! She just has that talent.

I have a few questions sorry if the answer is somewhere in this huge thread already
If I do just the basic package can I still go to the studio place (location?) to get pictures taken even though the photos aren't included in a package? Can I pay OOP for some pix that are taken there?
Can you just get the pictures taken and put on on photopass without buying any package or photos?

Thanks so much!

DD visited BBB in DL this past May ~ I brought a dress from home for her *not Disney at all ~ her FGIT took the dress from me and placed it in a dressing room for her to put on just like she would've done had I bought a dress/costume there - you can see my post on her visit here ~ http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2204771

I assume they'd do the same at the WDW BBB locations. For DD's B-day 2 months ago she got several Disney Park dresses/costumes from a seller on eBay for at least 1/2 the price one would pay in the parks. DD will visit the MK BBB location late afternoon on our MNSSHP evening ~ she's going as Tink so I'll bring her Tink costume for her (the same one we would have if we chose to buy it there).

All dresses go to size 14(xl). now all dresses may not be available at the time of your visit so check ahead. The most forgiving dress is snow white so try her if you do get a dress at the BBB.

14 Means size 14 in girls. I have seen some cute dresses at target and avon.com.

I think sizes run differently over there though.
So it would technicall fit a 14 year, but not all. Depending on height and wieght.

Yes they do run differently here, she is tall but not weight wise for her age so i'm sure a 12 or 13 would probably do it ... thanks

For all you 'big princesses' out there reading, we have been again, so here are our photos!

The 'before's:

The 'after's:

Then, since we were finished at 1:30pm, we did a little shopping and hung around for the Princess Parade at 2pm! We got to walk through DTD from World of Disney down pass the Pin Trading hut and to the Carousel, where all the princesses got a free ride!

Hi everyone! Does anyone have a link to pictures of the various hairstyles available? My girls have appts scheduled for the DTD location in December. We're not doing anything besides the hair. Just the basic, maybe that includes nails or makeup too? I guess I'm not sure. This will be our first time. Thank you!
