Hello!

We have an 8:05 am appt at the castle. I am hopeful that we will be done by 9 am. I am just wondering where we wait for the park to open if we are done with BBB prior to 9 am.

TIA!

We were at the BBB in the MK on 10/23, and there were no Rapunzel dresses yet....

We had an 8:05 two years ago, and were done in plenty of time for RD. We waited on the fantasyland side of the castle right outside the enterances for BBB/CRT. The have a rope strung up there and let you go when they start letting people in the front. We were in the first set of folks to ride Dumbo!!

Thanks---that sounds perfect!

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

I called BBB yesterday to make a change to my reservation, and when the cast member asked me which package I wanted she offered me the "RAPUNZEL PACKAGE"

Here is what she told me.

Starting TODAY, until Dec 31st, they are offering a Rapunzel package. It includes a wig (which she described as Rapunzel's long flowing tresses), gloves, purse, nails and make-up. I think she said the total was $47.95

she told me that I did not have to announce in advance if I wanted this, but that they would ask me at the time of the appointment.

She was reading this off of an email, and I am repeating what I remember. I assume info will go up on the website at some point.

I also asked about dresses, but she didn't know much. She told me that if they had it in the disney stores then they would have it at BBB - but when I explained that WDW had DIFFERENT dresses than the disney stores she admitted she didn't know that.

Hmmmm....sounds interesting! I wonder what my DD would want. I think the wig would get in the way during the day

Well hopefully the Rapunzel pkg means that they finally have Rapunzel dresses!!

For you BBB experts, do I have to purchase the full package to get the dress for my DD? I just want hair, make-up, nails and a dress, not the accessories.

No. You don't have to get the "top" package to get a dress. You can buy the dress a-la-carte. You can also change your package last minute. The only thing I would recommend, if you have time, is to check earlier in your stay (if you have the chance) that they have the dress in the size you want. I know other folks have had trouble getting a particular dress/size. I think this is more of a problem in the castle location. If you know ahead of time, you can try and get one somewhere else in the world - although BBB has priority over stores etc...

I ran into this when I was there in Feb 2010 - as the Tiana dress was in VERY short supply. There was not a dress to be had in any of the WDW stores. That being said, I talked to the BBB (went into the DTD location one evening while my parents watched my DD. Even though my appt. was at the Castle the FGMIT were SUPER helpful, and assured me that if there was a dress available, they would try to have it available for me (she put some sort of note in the system, that I wanted a Tiana dress in a size 4). She said she still couldn't guarantee it, but that since they knew I wanted it, they would make their best effort to have it for me. It all worked out and she got the Tiana dress (there were none on the display). They didn't have the Tiana crown (DD picked tink's instead), but she got the wand and picked gold flip-flops. We did the whole-deal package because it was her first time. This time we are bringing a dress, unless the Rapunzel dress is available, and then we will probably get that).

Also, good point C&O's mommy, about the point about the wig getting in the way. I will probably have to make a judgement call on the fly. But last time I didn't really want her to get the hair extension style, but that's what she wanted. Oh well - she ended up loving it, still has the pink hair and trots it out periodically to be bobby-pinned in place. It's a rat's nest now, but she still loves it.

My daughter is going to BBB for the 2nd timein early Dec., and she is set on getting the Jasmine outfit this time. I'm concerned that she'll be cold, since that outfit doesn't cover quite as much. We're staying for the MVMCP the evening of her BBB appt.

Has anyone dealt with this problem before? Obviously she can wear a jacket, but I was thinking maybe I'd look for a skin-tone leotard or something for her to wear under it to give her a little insulation...

 

[jenseib]

Play it by ear. It can be in the high 70's or even 80's in Dec. Of course it could be cold too. I would bring something for her to wear under it, like a leaotard or shirt.

OK question for new Aunt traveling with two nieces and my son. They just watched the DVD Planning Video that Disney sent to us in the mail and my son wants to be a pirate so bad he can't close his eyes to go to bed. I thought that while he was turning into a pirate my mom could take my to nieces to BBB.

My younger niece is 9 (pageant queen) and loves to dress up. She already says that she wants to dress up and do BBB.

Now the BIG Question - is my 11 year old (I'm already going on 21) going to want to do this? And if not what do I do with her to make it even so to speak?

All three of the kids have wanted to go to Disney for a long time (we took them when my son was 3 months old, 2 and 4) because they don't remember anything from the first trip, plus it was in the middle of June (HOT) and we only saw 2 parks in 2 days. They are giving up a BIG Christmas and BIG Birthday parties in order to spend 9 days at Disney in April. So we are going to surprise them with a BIRTHDAY Day at Magic Kingdom after we arrive.

I thought this would make it even more special and more like a BIRTHDAY treat but I'm just worried about the 11 year old. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, we have Breakfast reservations at Chief Mickey's at 9:30. I want to do the BBB and Pirate Makeover as soon as we get to MK so what time do you think I should make the appointment?

Thanks so much!!!!!

What is the differences between the deluxe dresses and the "regular" (for lack of a better word!) dresses. The ones pictures on the first page of this topic - are they the deluxe dresses that add $15 to $30 to the cost?

Just ask the 11 year old if she wants to do it. You never know unless you ask.
If you are doing the appointments after Chef Mickeys, I would say don't make one before noon.

I believe that WSW no longer carrys deluxe dresses, but when they did, it was a fancier version that cost more.

 

[TeresaZ]

Cool. We've got an appointment at the BBB in 2 weeks, as of now my daughter is loving Tiana and we have her dress. However, I know when we get there she will just "die" to get a different dress - so I'm just wondering what it is going to cost me.

 

[denvergirl]

We are heading to BBB in Jan for my daughter's 5th birthday. . .we were there last Dec for her first visit. Does anyone know if the dress selection has changed this year? I've seen the speculation about a Rapunzel dress (hopefully it would still be available). Any insight would be great!

 

[erikawolf2004]

My DD isn't doing BBB, she doesn't want to...talk about breaking a mother's heart, but she does want to dress up in her Christmas Belle dress that she has. In the past people reported that anyone could have their pictures taken in the portrait studio, has anyone tried to do this lately? I would love to have some portraits of her in her Belle dress. Thanks in advance.

Ok so we leave for wdw on friday and I am so excited and looking forward to our 10 adventure filled days. I have great ressies, we are doing MVMCP, and at the last min my dd10 decided she wants to do BBB when we go. I am excited that she wants to go and so happy that I was able to get an appt on our first day at dtd for 9 which is also the day we have lunch at CRT. I haven't been doing alot of reading and preparing for bbb since I didn't think she would want to go, however she did say "mom I really wan to do BBB, but I do I have to wear a costume", when I told her no she was so relieved.

[BellaBaby]

Yes, that's wonderful that you were able to snag that last minute ressie and on the day of CRT too!! Have an awesome trip!!

 

[caravarela]

We just got back from our WDW vacation, and my 4yo DD did BBB, followed by a CRT ressie and then MVMCP. We had a BLAST. Our FGIT was great, and FAST! Kaitlyn was the perfect age to really believe in all the magic. She didn't understand the "in training" part so she really thought she was being made over by THE Fairy Godmother So fun!
