Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[puggymom]

We did the castle and the DTD locations on our last trip, and we didn't really see the dresses (except for outside the BBB in the stores). It was pretty busy in both locations, and with so much going on, it's pretty easy to avoid the dresses. With that said, you do see many girls wearing dresses, so that may be hard to avoid. I would suggest maybe looking for a light dress that she could wear and bring it from home. Much cheaper that way. Maybe a Tink dress like my dd is wearing in the picture below, or just one that doesn't have a lot of "poof" to it. Check out the Disney Store (or disneyshopping.com), or even Target. A lot of times the less expensive dresses are a lighter material and would be much cooler in the summer. Good luck!!

KMart has a wonderful Cinderella dress with glittery carriages at the bottom, it's a tea length dress and my DD wore it last year and had so many compliments. Because of it's length and material she was comfortable in it- once she wore it to the Princess Dinner in Norway with her regular clothing underneath and she still didn't want to take it off once dinner was over. This was in also in the last week of August and it was pretty humid. I am currently trying to find the same dress on eBay, and we are taking the Aurora dress we bought at the park last year. BTW she wore that dress once and didn't complain about being hot in it either.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that dress at Target! Otherwise Walmart. At least it sounds like the one I saw.

Thank you for these replies, I will check all these out!

Any of you have experience with these dresses on disney shopping.com

http://disneyshopping.go.com/webapp...&productId=1228208&langId=-1&categoryId=13936

I thought this would be comfy in the August heat. How do the sizes run, she normally wears an 8.

Thanks for your help!

I love that dress, but I do want to tell you that I call dresses like that the "stain masters". If you are familiar with Gymboree they also make a lot of their twirl dresses out of the same material. Once your child spills something on them it takes a LOT of bleach and hard work with a toothbrush to get any little stain out. Don't get me wrong, I continue to buy them! LOL!

What are the hours for downtown disney BBB. I read online it is open until 6 but my appointment is at 6:10.

I just had to stop by to share my relief. We decide to bring by a family friends daughter, Maia, with us on this trip since everyone in my immediate family is over the age of 20. Maia is 8 and I am calling her my honorary disney niece.

When we started planing several months ago I explained what the BBB was and asked her if this was something she would like to do. She didn't seem to into it. She prefers Minnie and is planning on being Minnie for the MNSSHP on 10/28. Last night she brought up that she wanted to dress up like a princess. We have and ADR for 1:30pm for CRT on 10/31 and I told her she can be princess for that and Minnie for MNSSHP if she wanted. I showed her some stuff about BBB again and she seem much more into it this time and really wanted to do it.

I am so relieved I was able to make an appt for BBB at MK 10/31 at 8am for the castle package. The appt is a little earlier than ideal but I am so grateful to get anything considering it is Halloween.

I am now off to watch all of the princess movies with Maia so she can decide what princess she wants to dress up as.

That is so exciting! I am so glad this worked out for you. She is so blessed to have a "Disney Aunt" like you.

How can you tell what material that dress is made of? All I see is that it has satin straps?
Well anyways, I never have problems with Gymboree clothes. Oxyclean ahs always workded for me. On bad stuff I have pretreat with a stain stick and then washed a few days later. I would assume you could do that with this dress or any other material. I'm assuming the actual dress is just a cotten blend?

If you have a disney store near you , they should have this in the store, at least they do at our disney store in the mall. The dresses looked kind of wide and short when I saw them at the store, and I can see how they might be stain magnets as another person mentioned, they are that type of material that seems to suck up any liquid around to make a stain.

 

[jennwndrlnd]

Yes they have them at our local Disney store in the mall. It is cotton, and the type of fabric that must be ironed after each washing.

 

[jenseib]

I was just at our store yesterday and didn't them, so I don't think ours has them. I know our store usually has totally different stuff than what is onlone. Have the online stores always been owned by Disney, even when the actual stores were owned by CP?

 

[puggymom]

I ordered the dress, and while I was at I got a jewelry set too. I keep it in a bag until we get to BBB and then surprise her with it.

I'll report back Labor Day Weekend and let you guys know how the dress held up.

thanks for you help

 

[marjamsmom]

My daughter saw that you can get a pirate type package.
Does anyone have a pic or description of this. She is not that into the princess thing anymore, but she loves the whole pirate idea. I would like to show her a pic before we make ressies.

Maybe you can just bring a pretty pair, and if they dont fit her let her wear the BBB ones for photos and then change into the ones you brought, then she will have the BBB ones for at home when she grows a little more, lol.

This is what my plan is! Since I have a REALLY small one too.

Thanks, Dana
