Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[jenseib]

Does anyone know if they currently have Alice in Wonderland shoes for sale at BBB? We will be bringing her own Alice costume but I would love to be able to buy the shoes there. Thanks!

I doubt it. I don't think they carry the Alice dress there either. At one time I heard that Disney was doing away with the Alice costume, but not sure if that ever came about or not. If they still have it though, then some of the gift shops might have the shoes. the best spot would be world of Disney in DTD or the UK store in EPCOT. Or check out your local Disney store or disneyshopping online.

I have a question about the hairstyles. My daughter has long hair.. will they be able to get it all up into a bun? I'm not a big fan of the fake hair or the bun with the long hair hanging in the back. Thanks so much!!

Also, does anyone know of a good place to get a Belle dress at a discount? DD (will then be almost 4) would wear it for Halloween and then during our Nov-Dec trip. Thanks ladies

Watch your local Disney Store or watch on line. I just picked my DD up the red Belle deluxe costume for $29 and the tiara for $5 at our local disney store. I always keep on eye out for their sales as you can get things marked down quite considerably. For instance I got my DD the red Minnie Dress last spring for $10!

I hear the Disney store is a good place to try. I just preferred the look of the one I saw on etsy. Yes, more expensive, but I just love it and DD will wear it for Halloween also to get more use out of it .

A note to all you dress hunters.

I was just at the disney store today and they have new styles of dresses.
You can also see/buy a couple of them online, but they don't have the new cinderella, belle or sleeping beauty ones online, although they were in the store. I'll do my best to describe them.

I would post the links, but I'm too new to the DIS. if you go to the main disneystore website, under apparel and then costumes, you'll see them. I've noted which ones are are on the website.

They have a cinderella wedding dress (online pic) which is all-white, with some minor light blue accents that don't show up well in the online picture. Maybe it was just because it was all white, but it didn't look as pretty as I thought it would.

I think the star of the new bunch is the tink costume... A tutu style, and absolutely adorable. Very cute in person, and the wings are great.

The new ariel (online pic) is pretty good too... a little more "Dress-like" than the previous one, which my daughter had a tough time walking in. I think it's cuter in person than in the picture

The Cinderella one (no pic online yet) is a shorter, but still ball-gown-esque dress. It is the traditional light blue, but has lavender accents on the bodice, and a layer of lavender tulle that gives it a nice look. I bought this one for our upcoming trip to BBB, but I also ordered a different one online from ebay, and if I end up liking that one better, I'll return the disneystore one.

The Belle one is pretty. Fairly traditional yellow dress ball gown dress, but with a pink sash on the bodice, and some pink roses as well.

I thought the Tiana dresses (same ones as were around this fall) were even prettier in person than in pictures.

The up-side of all these new dresses is that any remaining 'old' dresses were heavily discounted. The old deluxe ariel "dress" was discounted (I can't remember how much, but it was considerable), and this huge gold dress that originally sold for $114, was marked down to $49.99 - I was almost tempted just because of the markdown, but my DD already has a big gold dress (not disney). It was VERY impressive though. If you have a girl who likes gold, this dress it totally over the top. I wish I had a picture of it (although I can't post pictures yet, so I'm not sure it would help).

The new sleeping beauty dress was just ok. It is very pink (like cotton candy pink), with a tie up bodice. But I didn't think it looked as nice as some of the others, and the bodice looked a little cheesy (IMHO).

I am assuming the online site will eventually have all the new dresses.

In addition, they had some new shoes. The online site only has a pic of the ariel ones, but they had them for Belle and Cinderella too. They look better in person than they do in the pictures, and they actually seem wearable. They are pretty soft satin, with a short heel and back elastic strap. Still probably not fabulous for an entire day in the park, but better than the all plastic "glass" slippers my DD insists on wearing around the house. And older girls would probably manage fine.

If anyone has specific questions about what was available at the store I'd be happy to try and answer them. This was a fairly small Disney store that just opened before Christmas in the Natick Mall outside of Boston.

My husband keeps asking me why I'm spending so much time just getting ready for Disney, but hey! that's part of the fun! And I must find DD that perfect dress! Let's face it, this is way more for me than her! LOL

 

[jenseib]

What Princess dress was the deluxe dress that was on sale? I liked some of them in the past I saw, so I might have to go get one. LOL!
Are they online as well?

 

[princessekrus]

Hi Jen,

I'm pretty sure it will vary by store. The gold one I think was a Cinderella "Holiday" dress. It was gold, gold, and more gold. I have never seen it before, and not seen a picture of it. I never saw it online, and I've been following the dresses online for at least 6 months. They only had 2 left, but one was in my daughters size (XS).

The only other deluxe one my store had on sale was the Ariel one, but they had lots of sizes in that. They also had a very cute "infant" tink dress on sale, with sizes from 6 months - 18 months. That one was $9.99 and I couldn't pass it up for my younger daughter, who hopefully can wear it for halloween next year.

As I said, this is a very small store. They didn't have any of the other fairies, or snow white either. So I'm guessing that the bigger disney stores will have lots of the other styles (including holiday I would guess) on sale. The online store doesn't have any costumes on sale currently. They had a bunch on sale before christmas, but they have all disappeared now.

 

[jenseib]

Thanks. We have a small store too. I really loved the snowwhite deluxe, but I doubt they still have it and if they do in my DD's size. I might have to llok though. LOL!

 

[princessekrus]

my daughter has the deluxe snow white and it is among my favorite dresses. I'd post a pic if I were allowed to!

 

[jenseib]

I think once you hit 10 post here you can..it might be 12...LOL! But please do when you hit that number. I would love to see it!

 

[princessekrus]

It looks like the website has all the new dresses up now.

I need 10 posts to publish links, so bear with me.

 

[princessekrus]

This is post #10, so on the next one I can publish the links.

Now for the links (finally)

Cinderella wedding dress: http://www.disneystore.com/girls-deluxe-wedding-cinderella-costume-collection/p/1259941/57493/

Cinderella regular dress: http://www.disneystore.com/girls-princess-cinderella-costume-for-girls/p/1257763/57493/
This looks much more lavender in person, it's kind of hard to see in the picture

Belle: http://www.disneystore.com/girls-princess-belle-costume-for-girls/p/1257758/57493/ This one was cute in person. Unfortunately my DD is not very into the yellow dresses

Ariel: http://www.disneystore.com/girls-princess-ariel-costume-for-girls/p/1257828/57493/
This one was cuter in person

Sleeping Beauty: http://www.disneystore.com/girls-sleeping-beauty-costume-for-girls/p/1257768/57493/
Didn't love this one, looked flimsier than the others

Tink: http://www.disneystore.com/girls-glittering-tinker-bell-costume-for-girls/p/1257834/57493/. I loved this dress. I would totally have gotten it if my DD were into the fairies

Satin Toddler Minnie Mouse: http://www.disneystore.com/girls-minnie-mouse-costume-for-infants-and-toddlers-pink/p/1251546/57493/
This was absolutely adorable. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's the prettiest Minnie dress I've seen. I think I will go back and get it for my 2nd DD for our NEXT trip to disney, since she's too little (only 3 months) now.

I am going to start a thread about the new dresses, because I'm also interested to see if there is anything else interesting available in the parks or elsewhere.

 

[Dixiemom]

Here is a link to page 2 of the Disney Store site......this page has the beautiful authentic Disney Park dresses...from what I was told when I called to make our reservation at BBB these are the dresses they have there. Has anyone had Susan as their fairy godmother in training? I am hoping she is still there in March when we go back.

[princessekrus]

I can't find a picture of her in the new deluxe snow white gown, she also had one before that, but has outgrown it.

Here she is as Cinderella:
(this is my first attempt at adding a picture, we'll see if it works)

And here she is from our last trip to Disney (Nov. '08) as Snow White (she's on the right), comparing dresses with another "snow white" outside the Akershus Princess Breakfast.

And this is from the MVMCP in '08

I think it's the only time I was able to get her to wear the headband.

We were the last people to get to see snow white that night before it closed... I didn't think DD would make it until midnight, but she REALLY wanted to see snow white. And she crashed immediately afterward.

If I get back to the Disney Store before the dress is gone I'll send a picture of the gold dress. It is seriously something.

 

[jenseib]

Thanks. We are going to take a look tomorrow at our local one. I have to go to gymboree to redeem gymbucks, so I figure I'll take a look and see what the Disney store has. I'm sure we'll have some sort of purchase, becuase DD won;t leave with out somehting...even if it is small. LOL! I actually hate taking her, but I need her with me at gymboree to be sure I get tehr rights sizes..and we live out in the country so I try to make my in town stops all at once to save on gas.

 

[wife&mom3]

HI we are planning a trip the WDW in may. we have 3 girls and we was wanting to take them to BBB . Do we need to bring there belle dresses or what? Or do they let you wear one from there if you wanted to take your own pictures. my older girls have shorter hair (shoulder length) will they be able to do anything with shorter hair? how much are the dresses at the BBB?

 

[jenseib]

If you read through the thread your questions will be answered. You can wear your own gown, or buy one there, but they won't let you borrow thiers. The dresses run about $65 I beleive.

 

[princessekrus]

Disneyoutlet.com has a bunch of the dresses on sale, including this year's Belle red Holiday dress.

Here's the page with all the dresses:
http://www.disneystore.com/departments/costumes-accessories/girl-costumes/cdo/60494/

Some good prices. The picture of the sleeping beauty dress does not do it justice. It is a gorgeous dress, and the bodice is very soft. My DD, who is a cinderella nut has actually been preferring this dress since she got it.

Here's a picture, although, take into account she has a sweatshirt on underneath!
