Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[princessmom29]

Thank you for your response. I'm glad to know what to expect ahead of time. We're signed up for the castle package so I was hoping that DD would enjoy the entire experience (i.e. getting dressed, getting her picture taken etc) without getting too much make-up or hair product.

We were at Disney this weekend & had to come home early bcs she came down w/ an ear infection & fever. All she wanted to do was to see Cinderella & we didn't get a chance to do so. I'm hoping to make up for the dissapointment w the BBB & CRT on her birthday!

I am really curious now. Why the aversion to hair product? It will all just wash out with no lasting effect. We are going to the castle BB on sunday and while I do not usually use product on DD's hair she is getting the works. It is only for one day and I want her to enjoy it.

Quite a few people come in that have an aversion to hair products. I think sometimes some people forget that the women who work there use the products all day, every day, and know how to use them appropriately. They see lots of gel and hairspray around and it worries them.

Does anyone know the size range on the shoes? How big do they come? We have an appointment "The Castle" makeover. However two weeks ago we were at a Disney Outlet store and found a beautiful deluxe cinderella dress at 75% off. They are full retail in the park. However, they didn't have shoes to fit my 11yo daughter. In the stores the largest shoes were 2/3 and we need a 4/5.

It's not the actual hair product that bothers me, it's more the look. I would have no problem with DD having her hair done in an up-do using product, but I just don't like to see the product. I'm having a hard time explaining myself. There are some pictures I have seen here, I will try to go back & post, that I think look great, but sometimes I think the hair looks too crunchy/slicked back/too tight or something (I'm not finding the right words). I guess I just prefer DD's hair in a more natural look.

ETA: I love the way they did this little girl's har. But none of the girls I have seen at Disney look as natural as this does:

And as far as the makeup goes, I have no problem with it, except that I think DD looks just as beautiful without it.

We did the BBB last monday and our Fgit was wonderful! i think her name was Jenny. The photographer was wonderful too! he was a wealth of information of things to do!
My DD loved when she told her it was ok to be sassy!

My DS was bored out of his mind even though the Fgit and the photographer talked to him and interacted with him too. The best was when the Fgit was putting the pixie dust on her and the wand got out of control and landed some pixie dust on my ds6 and the poor kid threw his body on the floor trying to escape it!

Ok I will admit I am not crazy about the bun hair style but my dd9 LOVED it! She was so upset the next morning when the gel got flakey and I made her take it out. I tried to do it again the next morning but wasn;t successful.

Nw we are home and she wheres the crown around the house!

I will post pictures later!

Jenny if you read here tanks for making the BB so fun!!!!

I guess my opinion is, who cares if "we" see the product. Our DD's feel loike princesses. They love the look and feel special. Yes they may be prettier without makeup, but they feel like a big girl doing this. So it's all for them, and we have to bite our tongues even though we don't like all the looks.
I took my DD to Libby Lu at Mall of America. Now the style she picked out wasn;t my favorite, and the girl didn't do that great of a job...but my DD thought she was a queen. And kept admiring herself in every window and mirror we passed. I had to try and duplicate it the next day. We were at a tractor pull of all things and she wanted to be beautiful there too. So I did it for her happiness. She's only young once, and I want her to have great memories of things like this, that she really enjoys.

Great news for BBB and us by Cali!
But do you think the reason is due to Libby Lu going out of business?

actually no, I posted a couple months back that BBB would be coming to cali. It has been in the planning stages for some time. Plus with the great succses the BBB has been having with DTD and the Castle locals it was only a matter of time.

Questions for you: How do you package dresses in suitcase without losing a bunch of the glitter etc. Also how when doing BBB do you have them wear the dresses there or put them in a bag and have them change when they get there? Probably silly questions, but I really don't want to ruin their gorgeous dresses when I pack them up. I am kicking myself for not leaving them in the nice packaging Mrs. B had them in.

We were just there this past week. I took a couple dresses with us and packed them in a dress bag for the trip. They traveled fine. Most girls wore their dresses there, but you can change them after you get there.
My DD fought me the entire way and didn't want to do it. I made her go and she loved it. She just hates doing new things that she is unsure about. Plus she thinks all the dresses are itchy. She finally picked the Belle dress and I bought her a Belle t-shirt to wear under it and she was fine.
I took her to the castle and her FGMIT was Lordes. She was absolutely wonderful. I will post a pic as soon as I get them downloaded.

My DD didn't want the makeup, just the hair and nails. After the nails were done she was asked again about the makeup and still said no. They just put it in the bag for her to take home.
The gel washes out surprising well. I expect to have to scrub or do two shampoos, but it came out very easily the first time. Of course this was after three days. She didn't want to lose the princess look.

We just got back from WDW on Saturday night. They may all be gone now, but on Thursday night, in Fairy Treasures (a shop next to the castle), the really pretty Red Belle gown was marked down to 39.99. They only had several of the larger sizes like 10 and 14 and several of the really small sizes like 2/3. Good luck!

I took my children and grandchildren to wdw in May (12 of us in all). My 4 yr old granddaughter, Kate, thought the Bibbidi Bobbidi Botique was the best part of the whole 10 day vacation. Best $$ ever spent.

and later that day, Kate and I on the Astro Orbiter

One funny thought I had (not sure if it's been mentioned in the 64 pages of this thread): I was amused at how the "Bibbidi Bobbidi Botique Princesses" became automatically initiated into some kind of "secret club" or "princess sorority". Here's what I mean. . . the rest of the day, whenever my grandaughter would walk past a fellow BBB princess on the streets of the MK, the communication would be, "Hi Cinderella" or "Hi Ariel". No introductions were necessary. The all knew each other and communication immediatly began. Instant friends from around the globe . . .

I know this past trip in March I would notice the BBB girls more, and I made sure to tell each one how beautiful they looked and they would get these huge smiles!

My daughter has been saying that she wants Santa to bring her a Sleeping Beauty dress. (We already have Alice, Minnie, and Belle.) How warm are they? We'll be going to Disney in May and I worry she'll be too warm because it has sleeves.

I had my appointment last Sunday Dec. 14th! Even though I'm an older princess at 19 it was truly a magical experience and my FGMIT was AMAZING!
Here are some photos:
