Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[joy13]

Are there any pictures of the Tiana dress they do have at BBB? We're getting a different dress to bring with us just in case, but my DD really wants a Tiana gown (if they have one that will fit her, LOL).

I found this one online - I saw girls wearing it - it is very pretty!

 

[KELLY]

Oh so glad they have the Tiana dress. My dd has been doing her chore chart. Which is basically keeping her room clean and her bed made but she is doing a good job for a 4 year old. We paid for BBB last year but she is excited to save her money for this.

Oh, that's really pretty! Thank you! Hope my DD can fit in the 10-12.

We are hopefully going in May and waiting to get my vacation schedules (work issues, UHH). How quickly does BBB book up? How close to your trip have you booked appts?
Thanks

Last year I booked it just over a month before going in March. The year before I booked it about a week ahead of time for DTD.

 

[Dixiemom]

I just PM'd you

We have a BBB appointment in March and I would like to purchase a few extra items while we are there. We are doing the castle package....

Do they sell the small make up pallet and pixie dust?


I wanted pixie dust for the fairy godmother gifts but our libby lu store closed down and I haven't a clue how else to get it in less than 7 days woohoo one week to go! Any ideas on make your own pixie dust. I dont want to just use regular glitter. We are DVC members so we dont get daily cleaning

Thanks for your help.

I booked about a month in advance and got 1PM on a Wednesday at the castle.

We have a May/June trip and it was very easy for me to get a 3pm BBB reservation followed by a 6:45pm CRT dinner.

DS has a Pirate's League ressie for the same time.

Pixie dust is just really fine glitter. You can find this at craft stores, or a craft section of a store. I have bought some at Hobby Lobby and Walmart before.
As for Makeup, I'm not usre if they sell it or not, but they do give you the pallete they use, which has alot of makeup left on it.

Can anyone tell me about the BBB Princess Parade? I don't know anything about it. For example, if my DD has her makeover in the AM can she come back and be a part of the parade? Is it for everyone? About what time of day does the parade happen? Is it only for girls getting the most expensive package?

Hi,

Just a couple of questions re BBB:-

1. My DD will be so close to 3 years old when we are there it is silly. We would really like to do the package for her as she loves things like this. Do you think we will get away with it even though she's not quite 3 by then?

2. We don't think we are going to make it to a Princess meal whilst we are there. We are still going to try and fit one in but does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do after the makeover? I will warn you we are going June/July so it will be pretty hot.

3. We are thinking of doing the middle package and just buying a dress whilst we are there (again, this may change depending on the heat on the day). If the mood took us, do you think we would be able to pay the extra and upgrade the package whilst we are there?

4. I see that the top package incudes some kind of photo package. Does this mean that Photopass guys don't take any photos of your session unless you are on the top package? Are you allowed to take your own photos? Are you allowed to take video?

5. How many people are allowed in the room with you? There is just me, DH, DS and DD. I was wondering if it would be best to send DH and DS off somewhere else. Also, we will be with family for much of the trip (Grandma and Aunt), would they be allowed in or would it just be easier to book BBB when they are off visiting other relatives on this trip.

6. The dresses all look so pretty. Are they going to be too hot and uncomfortable at that time of year? Are the shoes comfortable or should I bring extras? Can you buy the dresses seperately or do you have to have them as part of the package? Can you buy extra dresses?

7. Most of the experiences on this trip appear to be more geared to DS tastes and interests. Can anyone suggest anything that might appeal to an almost 3 year old girl? She is very lively and to be honest the only time I have ever seen her sit still is when there is a mirror in front of her and I pretend to do her makeup!!

8. How long does the session take (see above)? Is it hard to book? How soon do you need to book to ensure a spot? How slim are the chances of walk ups?

9. Would you recommend morning, afternoon or evening appointments? Obviuosly a morning one gives you more time all dressed up, but that is longer in the hot weather. An evening appointment is going to keep her cooler but doesn't give her much time all dressed up. Although, she doesn't sleep so if she is bouncing on the bed at 3am still in costume that would make a great pic!!

10. If we do a Princess meal, which one would you recommend and would you recommend breakfast, lunch or dinner? Would any of them be enjoyable for my DS as well?

Thank you so much in advance.

we love the BBB but I think this year we're gonna shoot for the Pirates League!

As far as I know the princess parade is really no big thing. I have not seen or heard of it at MK and at DTD I saw the FGIT outside the world of Disney calling out for Princess's to be in the parade. So I don't think you even have to be a customer to be in the parade. I think they just give any girls who come up to them some things to wave around. It looked like something little girls who happened to be there at the time would find fun - but nothing worth trying to be there at a certain time for - KWIM? Unless there is something else I am unaware of.

Hi,

Do you think we will get away with it even though she's not quite 3 by then? I have heard of people taking their soon to be 3 year olds and just saying when they book it that she will be 3. They don't ask for proof of age at the Boutique.

2. We don't think we are going to make it to a Princess meal whilst we are there. We are still going to try and fit one in but does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do after the makeover? I will warn you we are going June/July so it will be pretty hot. She will get lots of attention from all the CM's and maybe some guests as well. I'm not sure which BBB you are planning on - but if you will be at MK - definately have her do the Princess meet and greet.

3. We are thinking of doing the middle package and just buying a dress whilst we are there (again, this may change depending on the heat on the day). If the mood took us, do you think we would be able to pay the extra and upgrade the package whilst we are there? Yes you can upgrade or downgrade once you get there.

4. I see that the top package incudes some kind of photo package. Does this mean that Photopass guys don't take any photos of your session unless you are on the top package? Are you allowed to take your own photos? Are you allowed to take video? The photopass photographers will take pictures throughout the process regardless of what package you buy - everyone can also do the photoshoot afterwards. You can either buy pictures at that time or have them put on your photopass card for later. You can take as many of your own pictures as you want Video alsoB]
5. How many people are allowed in the room with you? There is just me, DH, DS and DD. I was wondering if it would be best to send DH and DS off somewhere else. Also, we will be with family for much of the trip (Grandma and Aunt), would they be allowed in or would it just be easier to book BBB when they are off visiting other relatives on this trip. MK BBB has more room than DTD - but they won't turn your family away at either. The makeover takes about 45 minutes, so it's really a matter of whether or not DH and DS would get bored.

6. The dresses all look so pretty. Are they going to be too hot and uncomfortable at that time of year? Are the shoes comfortable or should I bring extras? Can you buy the dresses seperately or do you have to have them as part of the package? Can you buy extra dresses? They sell the same dresses everywhere - so you can buy it before, at the time of the appointment - you just have to decide what is more cost effective. If you are going to get accessories too - I think you are better off going with the biggest package. You can also bring a non-disney brand dress as well. My DD wore dresses from here www.mydressuptrunk.com and they are lighter weight and not itchy at all. You know your daughter best - if she complains of things being itchy - the dresses may bother her. No matter what - I'd throw some shorts and a shirt into a bag and bring it in case she wants to change.

7. Most of the experiences on this trip appear to be more geared to DS tastes and interests. Can anyone suggest anything that might appeal to an almost 3 year old girl? She is very lively and to be honest the only time I have ever seen her sit still is when there is a mirror in front of her and I pretend to do her makeup!! I can't imagine a princess loving girl not haveing a great time at DW!

8. How long does the session take (see above)? Is it hard to book? How soon do you need to book to ensure a spot? How slim are the chances of walk ups? About 45 minutes and yes, I would call ahead - walkups are really rare. You can make appointments 180 days in advance. MK is busier than DTD.

9. Would you recommend morning, afternoon or evening appointments? Obviuosly a morning one gives you more time all dressed up, but that is longer in the hot weather. An evening appointment is going to keep her cooler but doesn't give her much time all dressed up. Although, she doesn't sleep so if she is bouncing on the bed at 3am still in costume that would make a great pic!! We did late morning in2007 and early afternoon this past year. I liked late morning better. She was in a better mood.
10. If we do a Princess meal, which one would you recommend and would you recommend breakfast, lunch or dinner? Would any of them be enjoyable for my DS as well? The castle and Norway are both great. The Castle ressie needs to be made 180 days in advance though. 1900 Park Fare has a nice dinner with Cinderella, the Prince and the StepMother/Step Sisters

Thank you so much in advance.

I hope that all helped

Ok I posted a seperate question on a new thread and was told maybe I might check on this thread. So here I am. I have read the last 15 pages and can't seem to find my answer so if I'm repeating, I'm sorry.

Does anyone know if they have a good selection of size 12 or size 14 dresses? My daughter is specifically looking for Jasmine and I started getting worried they wouldn't have her size. I have been looking online for a jasmine costume in that size and am having no luck. Every one I find seems to be "out of stock" or "no longer available". Are they getting rid of Jasmine? Are they coming out with a new one? Does the MKBBB have jasmine in larger sizes?

I'm sure that she would change her mind to a different princess with some prodding when we got there but I also didn't want her disappointed if they had NO size 12 or 14. Any help would be appreciated

 

[jenseib]

I have read that size 14 is not available in all outfits, but I think Jasmine is one it is in. But have also read that the bigger sizes are in limited supply and harder to find. I would try ebay or google it to find one before hand. You may find one that is not "made" by Disney, but still looks just like it in a bigger size. Also try costume sites.

 

[nansmama]

pharmgirl, we are in the same boat. My daughter is 58" and that is the height that the 10/12 goes up to so it's really iffy. I remember when we were there two years ago they DEFINITELY had size 14 but now it seems like it's random luck. I got a custom dress made for her from an Etsy seller just in case (not a pricey one, only $40) and we are bringing it with us as a backup. I looked on eBay, the Disney Store site, etc and had no luck at all finding official Disney dresses in the larger size.

I was just looking for Princess costumes in this same size on Ebay and did across a seller that had a few different ones. I am pretyy sure she also had a Jasmine for sale.

Okay, just looked and the seller is LOUIE766. They have a bunch of different Jasmine things for sale including costumes of various sizes and accessories. Good luck finding what you need!

My oldest is also wanting to wear a costume again this year for Akershus but is quickly outgrowing Disney costumes. She is 10 and close to 4 feet tall and about 100+ pounds...tall and solidly built but still into everything princessy! So I have a dilemma finding things to fit her and still be for a child. She already has a Snow White costume from Disneyland in a size 14 that we found on Ebay a few years back but last time she wore it, the bodice was tight on her chest and it was getting shorter. LOL So I don't know what to do now.

Her sister is 3 1/2 and her complete opposite. While Emily has always been very tall and bigger for her age, Avery is more of a tiny thing. She already has many Disney costumes to choose from to wear so I have to figure out something for my oldest too!

 

[pharmgirl69]

Thank you for the replies. Think I will try Louie on ebay and/or try to find something to bring down just in case. I would hate to get there and them not have anything in her size ( she would be heartbroken

Does anyone have a picture of BBB Cinderella dress? How much is a photo pass CD?
