Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[summerrluvv]

I wouldn't cancel at all! Many wear there dos more than one day. And on vacation going to bed at 8 might not be so easy.

Her hair is short and curly (think shirley temple), so I don't think it would stay up overnight. Not to mention that if we want to go get pics after, I think she will just be exhausted and not smile at all. I'm just going to keep calling..hopefully someone cancels for the morning!

Our daughter has short, super curly hair too, so I've decided to forego the expense of the Boutique this time around, and just do it ourselves. I got her two princess dresses from the Disney Store at an AMAZING discount (just this past Saturday), and I'm going to let her have some glittery make up one morning (if she wants).

While I think that Sophie would love the BBB, we just can't really afford it this time around, and I think that we can make a big enough deal out of her being a princess that she'll still have a wonderful time.

(The employees at our Disney Store said to take her in anyway, and that they would sprinkle her with glitter. I don't want to be seen as taking advantage of a service that we didn't pay for...does anyone know if it's fine to ask for a sprinkling of glitter?)

My daughter was sprinkled at the World of Disney, and yes it was free. We didn't go into the BBB part, we were just walking around the store getting souveniers and girls were walking around asking little girls if they wanted some fairy dust. My 3 year old loved it and it was a nice surprise

I didn't read the whole thread so sorry if this has been covered but I was wondering if BBB is like going to the hair salon in regards to tips?
My DD wants 'The Castle Package' for her B-day and I'm not sure if I need to tip and if I do is it on the whole amount, including the dress?
TIA!

That's a cute idea...I might just do that. We have ressies at the princess breakfast at Epcot, so maybe I will get her a dress and tell her tinkerbelle left it for her overnight, and do her all up myself.

Oh, that is such a sweet idea! Is it weird to get all teary over other people's plans?! I think that she'd absolutely love that.

Thanks to caravarela for the info on the fairy dust! We'll definitely do that with our girl.

You can tip if you like. Like in a hair salon you only tip on the service performed, not the "product". So not on the dress. You don't have to tip at all though if you chose not to. They used to not be allowed to take tips, but now for the last 2 years they can.

Thank you!

So none of the Disney Stores around me carry the old style of the Aurora dress. Does WDW carry the old style? Not the one that has the lace up look. How much is it? I could probably sneak over to WOD since we'll be at SSR and pick it up after she is in bed.

 

[summerrluvv]

How exciting! We did BBB last year, but wasn't able to get a CRT ressie.
I know what you mean about crying! We leave in 3 weeks for my DD's 5th birthday trip! I was able to get a BBB ressie at noon, and CRT for 2:15! I have never been so thrilled in my life!
Have a wonderful time!

Not sure what you mean by old style. If you mean the one that was there about 2 years ago, no, they don't carry it anymore, but you might find it on ebay. I don't think the Disney store carrys any from the parks, but Disney shopping does.

 

[jenseib]

This is the one they sold a few years ago.

And this is the link to the current one

The one they carried at halloween...it looks like the one from the link you posted. It was discontinued and on clearance, and they now have a lace up one in the stores.

They don't carry the ones from the stores in the parks at all. And rarely does the stores carry what is sold at the parks.
The one in the link is currently sold at the parks. I think it's been there about 1 1/2 years now.

I dunno, but that's the one they had in the store. She told me it was discontinued and clearanced just recently. Maybe it's regional.

I think the confusion is that they look kind of similar.

Here is the one I believe is currently sold in the park (also sold online at disneyshopping.com for $59.99)

Here is the one that was sold in the disney store before christmas (this is the deluxe one, I don't know if there was another one). This one has been discontinued, and was available at some disney stores on clearance, but it was very spotty which stores had which dresses.

You might also be able to find an older one on ebay. I just got a cinderella one off of ebay, which I believe was a style from last year at the disney store. Marked up slightly , but free shipping, so it was about what I would have paid had I ordered it from disney online.

Hope this helps! and good luck!
I'm still looking for the "perfect" cinderella dress.

 

[summerrluvv]

The deluxe one they offered at my store, but also the one posted above that.

We are leaving Saturday so no time. Since the park one is the same as the one I was looking for, I'll just get it there. I missed out on the clearance at TDS, but oh well.
