Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[wdwmickey]

There is a picture of the dress on a new BBB thread on page 1 of the theme parks board (sorry don't know how to post a link). When I booked DDs appt. today the FGIT told me it wasn't really "piratey" but like the "pop princess" with black and white hair pieces. So still really girly

I copied these rules from the other BBB thread:

Rules:
~ It's only for ages 3 and up!
~ Hair needs to be clean, brushed, and ready to style! (No hair products or accessories!)
~ Fingernails need to be cleaned and free of any decoration.
~ You will need to bring your own brush or comb for the Fairy Godmother in Training to style the hair with.
~ Scalp must be free of any "conditions" or irritations within the past 30 days.

Does anyone know if that 4th "rule" is correct? I can't imagine having to bring your own brush and/or comb. I've seen several you tube videos and I've never noticed the customer bringing their own brush and or comb.

Yes, it's true. They tell you to do that when you make the appt. However the two times we went they never asked for our comb and used one they had there. I'm sure they have a reason for telling everyone to bring their own, not sure what it is though. Maybe for really tangled hair?
I know they also say to have the nails clean and all polish removed too. However silly mommy (me) was soo busy getting everything else ready that I forgot to take her polish off. No problems there either. They just took her old polish off before putting on the new stuff.
I think they have the rules so that hopefully you'll at least remember one or two of them to help speed up everything and keep the waits shorter. Just my guess though.

I think they ask for your own comb b/c of head lice?? That would be my thought. If that's the case, I'm definately bringing my own!!! YUCK!!

Well, i guess I should have clarified that they use a brand new one on you and give it to you when you are done. No sharing of combs.

Does anyone know if the FGIT can do the "Diva", "Pirate", or "Pop Princess" with hair that is cut in layers? My DD will be 13 on our trip and would like to have a funky style, but, she cut off all her long hair last winter and donated it to "Locks of Love". So basically we need to know if any of the hair styles can be made without a bun (since we are in the growing out stage). TIA

I just want to say a great big "THANK YOU" to your DD who donated her hair to locks of love. What a beautiful and daring thing to do. I had radiation, so I did not lose my hair. But my best friend did lose all of her hair. Especially imagine being a child and going through that. Locks of love is a wonderful organization and I applaud everyone who has the courage to donate something that has been such a part of their being for so long. Thanks again!!!

 

[wdwmickey]

We were so proud of her!!! She knows that her hair went to a special little girl who needed it. She has really thick, wavy hair so the growing out is a pain--but she says worth it

I am so much more excited seeing all these pictures. My dd has her appt. during our trip. I booked the crown (middle) package.

She already had just about every disney princess gown at home except Jasmine, & Aurora. I was planning on bringing a few with us and I particularly wanted her to wear this new "delux" Cinderella one she got for her birthday, but she'll wear what she wants.

Now, am I being unrealistic in thinking she would be okay with wearing her own dress and not getting a new one? Or are we just going to walk in there and HAVE to buy one of the ones she doesn't have?

IMO, she will be fine They can even set out her dress for her in a room ~ I don't think she will even notice. We have had a Giselle (Enchanted) dress made for her for this trip and my understanding is that they will set it out for her and she will get dressed there.

This will be our 3rd trip to the BBB and my daughter has not yet done the castle package. We have not noticed the difference. In fact, they greet her and take us back and have never made the dresses for sale an issue. It truly is a spectatcular experience, even without the castle package.

Her is a picture of my DD, (she didn't want to dress up last year)

HELP going to BBB 2morrow and i dont know what hair style to get.....

 

[PiratePrincess99]

i was wondering does the BBB is DTD still offer the pirate hairstyle and does it cost extra?

 

[JMSRTM]

Has anyone ever done their own makeover in their room, or is that truly being too budget conscious... I was thinking we could make my dd10 up ourselves for a lot less money...

I am sure alot of people actually do this. But the experience is part of the fun. My DD had a meltdown and didn;t get her BBB done, but I bought the tiara and hair extension and did it up, and she was happy with that, but she is only 3. If your child has her mind set on it, then doing something i nthe room isn;t going to do it for her. Of course if she doesn;t know about it and you jsut do her up, I'm sure she will be thrilled. I technically did my DD up each day anyways. I put her hair in a ponytail and put the tiara in each day and she wore a princess dress just about evrey day there. I jsut didn't do makeup on her,but at that time make up wasn't a big hit to her anyways. Recnetly she has really been getting inot lip glass and eyeshadows.

I Just booked my daughter's appointment for our December trip...can't wait!

 

[mindyd]

We were at BBB in the magic kingdom in June and here are some pictures of my daughter Alexis:

Here is my daughter Sabrina who is more of a tomboy and we were shocked she did it at all because she backed out last year:

Here are the ones of them together:

Just wanted to share our BBB experience from June, We had done DTD location last year and loved it we did the small package last year. I had a appointment for both my daughters for the big package. When we checked in I was early and my older daughter wasn't going to do it so I just checked my younger one in. Less than5 minutes later my older daughter wanted to do it so I went to check her in and the woman at the desk was very rude. When I checked Alexis in they never asked about Sabrina so I didn't see what the big deal was I didn't cancel in the first place.

My younger daughter has hair down to her rear they did a great job on her hair and I was very impressed. My younger daughter had major surgery earlier in the year for Skin cancer and was afraid they would ask her about the big scar on the back of her head and they didn't which made her feel very good they never acted weird or anything about it.

Getting the bigger packages were a huge mistake by the time we walked down to do the photo shoot they were both complaining about how itchy they were and my older daughter didn't want to wear the shoes. I kept seeing all these younger girl wearing them no problem but mine refused. As soon as we were done with the photoshoot they both changed. We had lunch at CRT and my younger daughter did put it on but my older daughter refused.

I paid over $400.00 for her to wear the dress for less than 20 minutes I wouldn't do it again with the big package and am actually thinking of trying to sell the dresses because they won't even play dress up in the.

 

[Nicki828]

I'm so glad to hear that there are lots of older girls getting the packages. My dd is 9 and I was hesitant to have it done. She cut all her hair off in December to donate to Locks of Love, so I'm hoping it will be long enough to pull back into a bun when we head to Disney in November. We'll get DS the cool dude hair style - which seems like a bargain in comparison!

 

[TraceyL]

Just a warning for anyone planning to book:
I couldn't get an appointment for my DD's birthday in October - we had planned a special dinner & can't seem to fit it in on another day *** I know they will want to be in the pool asap if we don't have any 'special events' organised !


eta - ok what's rude about the shortened version of the work because
