Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[strmtroopr96]

My mother, myself, my sister in law and both my daughters all went and found our inner princesses this past Nov. We had a lot of fun getting all beautiful, and then partied that night at the MVMCP.

Everyone washed their hair the next morn, but my youngest kept going with the hairpieces, so I used tons of hairspray and thankfully kept all the bobbypins. She even wore my hairpiece at one point as you can see in the last picture!

Just to show you that you don't have to be a wee one to get yourself done up. We had the whole boutique buzzing about how wonderful it was that all the girls had a fun day out together.

btw for those questioning about short hair, both my mother and I have REALLY short hair.

Your group photos are all super cute!! Looks like you had a great time!

We are booked. We decided today to go to WDW (instead of the cruise, which I wanted to do, but DH didn't). so we have a March 9th appointment at the castle for 1:30. How backed up are they at this time? I didn't want to book too early as we will be staying late at HS the night before, so we'll need DD to sleep in.

I'm sure these questions have been asked many times, but I just don't have time to read through all the posts. If you get the $200 package, what do they mean by accessories? Do they help you pick things out, is it all on your own? Do they just "do" their hair or do they show the girls pictures, etc? TIA

 

[jenseib]

One other thing. Where exactly is it that they get the photoshoot done at MK? Last year we had planned to do DTD so I knew where ti was, but never paid much attention to MK. I think Exposition hall? But I have no clue where that is either.

 

[PiratePrincess99]

yeah it is in exposition hall

 

[jenseib]

Where exactly is that?

Where exactly is that?

When you walk into the park through the tunnels, it is off to your right as soon as you exit.

accessories usually include a crown and wand to match the princess costume. We did that package for DD the first year, but she hated the crown and only carried the wand for a few minutes.

Now that you can get a photo shoot anyways we get her the hair, makeup and nails package and buy the dress/shoes and little tiara separately from one of the gift shops. She gets everything she wants and we don't have to buy what we don't need.

Also the first year at DTD BBB they did not have a lot of sizes despite the store (where BBB is located) having everything. DD had to be Cinderella b/c that was all they had in stock in her little size. This way she can go to the big store inside the park, get what she needs and head over to BBB for her appointment.

We are going to the BBB iduring our Feb trip. My DD 6 and my DSD 11 are both getting made over. My DD6 has had this done before and loved it she got made over as Jasmine and this year she wants to be Tink. DD11 wants the hair and make up but isn't sure about a dress. She is a shy girl and old beyond her years but I think once she's been in the world a few days she will relax and want to dress up. I have offered to buy her a dress in her size before we go but she won't make up her mind. My concern are that at her age she won't get a dress in BBB to fit as she wears clothes for age 13 and not 11-12years. I know that there is an issue in the park with older girls dressing up as princesses and I have it in my head that the BBB dresses only go up to size 11-12. Will she be able to get a dress to fit or not?

Thanks for any help you can give

I have a question about long hair, my DD3 has hair down her back. How can they put her hair in a bun without it being huge?

Thanks.

I think they have a few costumes that go to size 14. But only like 2 maybe. I am thinking one is Jasmine. Maybe buy her one from home that you think she wil llike, If she ends up not likeing it, just sell it on ebay.

Do you tip the stylist? (Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but I was contemplating going to this, and I want to know how much to budget in for it.)

DD just turned 3 when we went. She had hair down her back. She has thin hair like DH. I don't think her bun was big at all. Here's pic from after BBB and a pic showing what legnth her hair is.

 

[Ang_Park]

Thanks, but what did they do with all her hair?

 

[CharacterFan]

They roll it into a bun. They put it in a high ponytail and then roll it.

 

[jphouse]

They roll it like PP said. They put rubberbands going all the way down the ponytail to keep all of the hair together before they roll up into the bun. I probably took out atleast 8 clear rubberbands. See pic. They also used ALOT of hairspray and gel. I thought I was going to have to wash her hair atleast 3 time to get it all out. It only took once.

I bought my 9 yr old DD a Snow White costume that is a size 14/16. Emily is a tall and solid girl and it fit her well and the top is nice and stretchy so it was comfy too. I bought it on Ebay from the seller often mentioned here and it was New W/ Tags from Disneyland but I only paid $22 shipped.

Hi, Do you tip the stylist??? I'm assuming yes but would like to know for sure? Has anyone been lately?

Also, where is the boutique at Magic Kingdom? Is it in the castle? Thanks!!

 

[jenseib]

yes, you can tip, 15-20 % just like at a regular salon. But remember it is only really needed for the service, not the dresses you buy. So even if you get the 200 dollar package, you are really getting 60 dollars in service for hair and nails.

It is in the castle. The back side. We took a peek in there last year and it looks like it gets really crowded. DTD on the other hand was pretty slow. I actually would rahter go to that one, but it was just going to be more convenient for us to do the castle this year.

Anyone who's been there recently...How far are the ygetting back up (in minutes) by early afternoon. We have a 1:30 and hope to do the photo session as well, and then head over to 1900 park Fair for a 4:40 reservation. I'm sure we'll have plenty of time, but we also will probably run into parade traffic at some time too. Plus I don;t know how well DH will behave if we have to wait. LOL! Will they give you an aproximate time on what they think the wait will be, that way I can send at least DH off to do some stuff on his own. I know DD will get buggy too, but I figure we can ride the carrousel.
