Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[mom2taylorandemily]

If there has been no "official" release, how are you able to come here and tell this info? What is the location of this Boys BBB/restaurant? I'm not sure I believe this!!!!!

I wish I knew how to decipher the search function on this thing, but I don't. But anyhow, a couple of months ago, someone posted on the this board that there was some construction going on near Frontierland and everyone was wondering what was going in there, so there is always something going on. I believe FGITraining, she has works for BBB (she's been posting on here for pretty near a year) and she has been very accurate with all other information that she has posted.

Thanks for the info. I just made her an appointment on her 13th birthday. I was able to get her an appointment before we do lunch in the castle!

Yay! =)

That was put very well.

If you choose not to believe it, that is your choice. While working for Disney, you come to hear a few things about future establishments before any outside folks do. I work in the Magic Kingdom, where this proposed establishment will be, and I have definitely heard some information about it. Bits and pieces, but something at least. And the construction site is definitely a reality...you can see that for yourself. But, as is true with all "facts" about future openings, plans at Disney can change with the blink of an eye. So, if this pirate place ends up not opening for whatever reason, or is not quite what you all are now expecting (thanks for opening up that can of worms, fgit in training lol), don't be surprised. Maybe just take a breather before you all start wondering about reservations and exact details. Let the official announcement be made first.

The dresses are stil $65 as far as I know and have heard.
We had ours booked for the last day of the trip, actually leaving day. We knew we would be swimming every day and it fit best in the schedule to do it then as well. Well my DD is 3 and she got sick the day before we left. She was excited about the BBB, but when it came time to go, she cried and we ended up canceling out. I think it was jsut too much stuff all week long and plus not being 100% well, it was too much for her. So you know your kids best, but be aware that someitmes they can just get overloaded. I did know my DD got over stimualted easily, but thought she would love this so much that it wouldn't matter, but I was wrong. So if we go back, I am going to plan it for early in the trip and see how it works out for us then.
Not all was lost though. I bought a crown and a hair peice and did my own do on her, and she was happy with that.

Well a little off topic here, but I quoted myself to remind yo uall how DD wouldn't do the BBB on our trip.
We went to the Mall fo America this weekend and they have a Libby Lu. DD said she wanted her hair done, so we did it and she loved it. So I do belieive it was becuase she was to stimulated, tired and getting over being sick when she freaked out about the BBB.
Also I didn't think the Libby Lu styels were nearly as nicely done as BBB, but for the money it was fine, and DD loved it. We got the "full" package there and it was only $60. They acted surprised that we did the full one, but I had planned on paying that much at Disney, so it I felt it was an OK deal to do it here. She got lots of things in her package, and we definately will do this again, (probably not the full one again though) if we are in the area of a Libby Lu ,and will do BBB early on next trip!! Here are some pictures of her. (I jsut had to share. ) I didn;t have my camera with me during the makeover, so I took pics in the parking garage when we were done, and then we recreated it the next day as well.

The next day

what is a good amount for tipping FGIT? thx

In hair services yo uare supposed to tip like a resturant 15-20% of the service. So you need not tip on any assessories you buy (like dresses, shoes, etc)

 

[jenseib]

I saw an older man, probably in his late 30's, getting his hair done in the Boutique just today, so no worries!

30's is NOT old at all!!!

I was told when we scheduled our appointment that has now been canceled that we didn't need to tip and I have also read on a thread here or somewhere else that the FGIT are not suppose to except tips but then read other threads that have said they do. So now I am curious as to if you tip or not?

 

[kellig]

I tipped our FGIT's when we were there on 05/31. I handed each of them some cash and they were all three very thankful and appreciative!

If you think your FGIT deserves a tip, by all means please leave them one! They will except graciously

I don't believe anything without an Official Announcement. I also didn't see anything going on over in Adventureland earlier this month when I was at the MK, except at PoTC. I don't have children, so it really doesn't matter to me either way, I just wondered how someone can tell something without an official announcement. I also talk to other CM's here and they don't tell things like this without an official announcement being made first.

I'm not saying I approve of this kind of information being spread around by CMs before an actual announcement is made, but...what's done is done. Make of it what you will.

Despite many rumors, we FGITs are allowed to accept cash tips. Whether or not you decide to give one, however, is completely up to you.

AWE! This is darling! I wish we had a Libby Lu here! I have been on their website before, but I am not holding my breath for anything near me soon.

She looks darling and I am glad to hear she will be fine with the BBB next time, it is such a fun experience!

Thanks for clearing that up for me and anyone else who was curious. I am certain that being a FGIT is very rewarding but probably most likely one of the lower paid jobs but hey you get the perks!!

My DD10 has an appointment for BBB at DTD on July 2. I've purchased her a Beautiful Cinderella dress, silver shoes, crown and septor. Here's my question, we are doing the middle package(CROWN) and she is going to get the princess (bun) hairstyle. My understanding is that a crown comes with that hairstyle. Since I'm bringing our own will they just give us the one that comes with the package? I'm sure DD will want to wear it on another day.
Thanks!

 

[mindyd]

We did the big package when we were there and my daughter wanted to wear her tinkerbell head piece but they still gave me the crown.

 

[PiratePrincess99]

The crown that comes with it fits around the hair and holds the hair together. You can also use your tiara you purchased for th edouble crowned look. Also you dont have to do the bun style you can also choose from diva and pop princess.

 

[eaj1228]

My "honorary disney niece" has a BBB appt at 8:05am on a non magic hours day. Is only one adult permitted entry to the park prior to opening or can our whole party enter the park?

 

[Honeychild]

Thanks for the reply. If I understand correctly, the crown that comes with the package makes a circle around the bun and is what holds the hair in place. Is it easy to remove? I don't think I'd like the doube crown look with the particular crown we've purchased. However, I could let them place their crown on her head and have her boutique photos taken. Later in the evening she is having a photopass photo shoot at the GF before the 1900 Park Fair dinner with Cinderella. If the package crown will come off easy, I could replace it with the one we purchased, I'll just have to bring extra bobby pins to make my own bun.
