Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[CinderelliT]

Thanks! I am a photographer and LOVE taking pictures. At some point in the next couple of days, I am going to hi-jack this thread with all the pics from our BBB experience. Most of it was good, but we had a few bumps along the way.

We also brought in our own comb and brush and the FGIT looked at it and said she would use her own comb. LOL! I guess it wasn't what she wanted.

The Tiana dress in the parks is GORGEOUS! I almost bought it for DD, but she liked the one at the Disney store better. I don't have a pic of the park one, but in these you can see the other. We bought the crown and wand at BBB, and she loved them. They were very cute. The Tiana crown was a little too big for DD's head, and kept slipping off. I finally had to go get some bobby pins and try to get it to stay on myself. Also, her dress was a little too big. My DD is more like a Pooh Bear than a Princess, and we have to get her everything sized up to go over her belly (Just like her Mama!). Well, we got a crinoline to go under this one - it's like a slip as it has a bodice on it too - it keeps it from being itchy and makes it poof, and it was still too long. I took the straps up before we went, and ended up taking rubber bands with the help of the FGIT and pulled up sections of the skirt so she wouldn't trip. This one was actually roomy enough that I could have gotten away with a smaller size.

She got a lot of attention though, and Tiana and Prince Naveen LOVED this dress b/c it tells their story on the bottom in the glitter pics. They gave her a little extra attention b/c of it.

As soon as I get more pics uploaded, I'll post them on here.

And after a sweaty day:

I *love* this photo! Such a great shot, you are a very talented photographer! You did a wonderful job with her hair, and I'm sure she'll enjoy BBB as well.

So excited! I booked my DD for 12/13! We are both so excited!

We'll be there on 12/13 too!

 

[wlwilliams9]

I don't know if this has already been asked or not, but are there any Rapunzel costumes at BBB?

I'm wondering the same! Hopefully by the time we do BBB in Dec. they will be available!

Your daughter looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing the picture. I will have to check out the Disney store before our trip.

Thanks! I am a photographer and LOVE taking pictures....

Your photos are beautiful. Love the pics on your website also - I wish you lived near me, so I could bring dd in!

I really love this one. How do you get the background in B&W with the subject in color? Is it software (if so, which)? TIA

Disney Store online is has free shipping plus $10 off costumes for any moms who want to get there dresses before there trip.

 

[jenseib]

The $10 off ends today though, and I don't think there selction is al lthat good right now.
I am so mad about the free shipping though. I just ordered Disney luggage yesterday and paid for the shipping!

We went on 9/25 and did the Castle package. DD only had one FGM - Margarita - who was wonderful! I don't think she used the brush we brought, I think she just used a big pink comb. We were told to allow 2 hours for the package but I'm pretty sure we were done with the photo part of the package by 1:30.

I was hoping DD would choose the Princess Bun, but no such luck. I think the Diva hairstyle is hideous but hey, it was her day and she got to pick what she wanted.

Of course she wanted to dress like her favorite

At the parade, Ariel was excited to see her:

And she had a WONDERFUL meet n greet with Ariel shortly after the parade:

DD absolutely loved everything about her BBB experience. If we get a chance to do it again, I would probably skip the Castle package and bring an outfit from home. [We ended up with a wand we bought the day before and a crown she will never wear.]

is there an updated picture for the dresses or are they still the same as they were in the 2007 picture? I didn't read through all 126 pages

Thanks for the heads up about the $10 off ending today. I'd better purchase today. I was waiting for the free shipping and sale to overlap. The selection still looks good from what I see. Still lots of sizes and variety. They also have the Rapunzle dress and accessories already. Very cute.

 

[CinderelliT]

These are awesome pics! Love Ariel's face! My DD liked the diva hairstyle too in Pink But pink is her favorite color, so it made her happy!

I have yet to load my pics into photobucket yet - Hopefully in the next couple of days.

The pics taken by disney as part of the package are finally in my photopass account. Some of them are ?? and hysterically funny, but some are just gorgeous as well. I can't wait for my disk to come in. I did a photopass share with a few other people, so it's going to be a few weeks still.

I think the Disney store has Rapunzel costumes online - but I didn't see any in the parks yet. I was just there on Sat.

And I use Adobe Photoshop to edit my pictures. I think you can do the "color splash" pics online with photobucket and picnic software too. Those are free, so check them out first.

And if you don't mind - I'll leave you guys with these pics. Kenzie's hair stayed put through 2 days of parks, rain, sleeping, and swimming! I had to hairspray it a little on our last day, but it held up well. Here she is the day we got home in our studio and in an Aurora dress from the Disney store. I have to say that I like the short dresses. They are good for walking around in the parks. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting some of the ballet princess costumes when they were on clearance.

And my favorite!!!

They are definitely not the same but I don't know if there are updated photos anywhere. I totally forgot to take pics while I was there and it was so crowded I probably couldn't have anyway.

 

[CinderelliT]

Next time I go, I'll try to take pics of the costumes. It'll be in Nov. though.

When we went to the BBB, my appt was for 1:20 in the afternoon b/c that was all I could get. It was not the best time to go. My kids were exhausted at that point. They were also EXTREMELY backed up. The lady told us around 1:15 that there was no point in checking in for another 45 mins. But we were so tired that I told her we would just wait. It was not the best experience. DS had a meltdown and we cancelled his appt, and DH had to leave with him. DD fell asleep on the bench and did not want to be woken up when it was her turn. She also was really upset that DH left and kept asking for her Daddy.

After almost an hour, we were finally called to go to the changing rooms:
They didn't hang her dress up or anything. I was hoping for a little more surprise for her.

Waiting...

Waiting...

And more waiting...

The whole ordeal took us over 3 hrs It did not go as well as planned, but DD was happy in the end. If we do this again, it will be in the morning!!

One of the FGIT was really good at convincing her to go back to get started. When we woke her up, she was really upset and I thought after all of that waiting that we were going to have to cancel her appt to. But this lady started showing her the make up and all sorts of things and got her going.

More up in a bit...

 

[lilys.mom]

Love the pics...so cute

I ordered DD the cinderella dress of disney store with the 10 off and free shipping going to make an appointment for March...but what if she gets there and wants on of their dresses and we decide to do the big package...can we once we make an appointment change what we want done when we get there? Can the dressed be seen when you go in???????
Thanks!

 

[CinderelliT]

Yes and Yes. The wardrobe looking thing that I posted a picture of has a sample of all of the dresses that they have for sale, along with the shoes and other accessories. My DD decided on a Tiana tiara and wand that they had on display. They don't get you the display one, but have a stock in the back that they pull from.

The packages can change. We upgraded to include getting her nails painted, and we cancelled our son's appt on the spot. They were very accomodating!

 

[CinderelliT]

She kept smooshing her nose with this. She didn't understand that she didn't have to hold it so close!

Our big reveal was sadly not that exciting. Kenzie kept asking where daddy was and could care less about how she looked

And darn it - I wasn't fast enough to get this in focus - but the photopass guy did. I can't wait for my disk to come in.

She was happy though with the final product!

Awesome Thanks...I can so see my DD getting there and seeing all the dresses and deciding she needs one of theirs instead of one we brought!

Great Pics...your DD was a trooper! That is a lot of waiting!

Anyone have pics of the Rapunzel dress? Does it look like the one they have advertised at the Disney Store? I would love to see one on, I caught just a glimpse of a little girl wearing one when we were exiting the park last week, I would love to get another look at it.
