Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[princessekrus]

Hello again!

I know I promised pictures, and they have been a long time in coming. We went to BBB back at the beginning of February.

DD (3.5) loved it. She picked out the Tiana costume, which I had actually reserved ahead of time (stopped by the BBB earlier in my visit to request it). I am not sure they actually had my dress "reserved" since they didn't guarantee they would have it - but they did have it available. I had tried to buy it elsewhere in the park, but it was completely sold out in her size. I did bring a back up dress that day, just in case they didn't have it.

I had signed up for the Crown package, but ended up "upgrading" since DD wanted all the accessories too. She ended up picking a pair of flip-flops for the shoes, and they didn't have the Tiana crown, so we picked the tinkerbell one since it was green like the dress. She didn't seem to mind that it didn't really "match" - but she is only 3.5, so I'm not sure she really grasped the idea that everything should be Tiana, rather than just picking what she liked.

Here are some photos from that day.

Photoshoot on Mainstreet:

The "photoshoot" on mainstreet wasn't our best, although the Photopass guys taking the pictures were wonderful. DD was very tired, since it was naptime, and really not into getting her picture taken. It was also pouring rain outside, so we were more looking for some downtime before our 4pm castle dinner reservation. We ended up hanging out in the way back of the exhibition hall, where they have a big screen with mickey cartoons and silly symphony cartoons playing and a stage. DD and another little girl had fun sitting on the stage watching the cartoons.

I have a few pics of the castle BBB location itself I will post next

We did the BBB Castle location.
It is definitely more cramped than the DD location (which I visited, just to check it out).

If your DD is very interested in "shopping" for accessories etc... I would definitely recommend the DD location, as it is in the store, and seemed to have more costume/accessory options (pocohantas, minnie, etc.). The castle location may have had them available, but they weren't on display.

The costumes in the castle location are in a kind of closet at one end of the waiting area. I am sorry the pictures aren't better, but it was VERY crowded, and hard to maneuver without getting in everyone's way.

Here is the inside of the boutique area - a little blurry, but you get the idea:

Tiana dress on display:

Other dresses on display:

DD afterward. She LOVED the hair extensions. She kept touching them and saying how wonderful they were.

I would definitely do this again (although probably bring my own dress this time, since we now have at least one version of each dress, and I really don't need duplicates). I would also do it earlier in the trip (we did it toward the end), because we would get more mileage out of the whole thing. She wore the hair for 4 days straight, but changed her dress each day. I don't know why I bothered bringing real clothes, all she wore were princess dresses.

Thanks for the pictures!!! She is so cute. Did the hair style last for 4 days??

 

[lilmissdisney216]

she's absolutely adorable!!! I can't wait to book this for mine and darling fiance's trip in December.

Some great pics!

My DD will be going to BBB the day before her 3rd birthday, she has a short bob style hair cut will they be able to style it

 

[jenseib]

She is soooo cute! I love it. She is like my DD. She picked the pink hair too. LOL! She also wore a princess dress everyday. Some days she did change mid day, but for the most part we didn't need many regular clothes.

Quick question for you experts.. If I want to get DD a dress and some accessories, but I do not want the imaging package (I just want pics on my photopass .... no prints)... Can I just order the "Crown Package" and then "add on" the dress and accessories? Will they still help us pick the items out, or should we go ahead of time and buy what we would like? She changes her mind like every 2 seconds, so I'd rather just wait until we get there and have her pick something out.. TIA

You sure can pick and chose and they will just charge you for what you get

I have been reading this thread for a long time waiting for my DD to be old enough and she finally is! I just made the reservation this morning, so excited!

 

[sejejoemmiev]

Is there an advantage to pre ordering the photo pass CD? How much is it and where do i order it?

Unfortunately DD2.5 won't be old enough when we go in May for Biddidi Bobbdi boutique . I plan on dressing her up and doing my own makeover though as we have the princess story book dinner booked. I know she definitely wants the Tiana dress, we would need a 2/3 xxs. Is it hard to find her size? I have been checking online to see if I could find the parks authentic Tiana dress,but haven't had any luck.
I have no idea which stores to check, this is our first trip with our little princess , before now it was strictly pirate stuff so I am really excited!
Where can I find the Tiana dress? Also are the Rhinestone Mickey clip and the little tiara available to buy anywhere if your not doing BBB? Thanks for any help.

Alot of the gift shops thru out the parks have all the items you are looking for, and I'm pretty sure that most of the resort (hotel) gift shops have some of it too. I know I saw them at World of Disney in DTD, and at Mouse Gear in Epcot. Have a good time, and I'm sure she'll be beautiful!!!

Picture #6 - shoes in the center of the bottom row...multi-colored sequins...
BEST SHOES EVER!!

My dd6 has a pair that she has worn just about to death...the toes not only are missing all the sequins, but she's worn through the satin underlay as well. What she doesn't know is that Santa will be bringing her a new pair this coming Christmas

Have you checked the Disney Store online? I know the actual storefront in our mall has two different Tiana dresses - I think the two styles are about $40 and $80....

They no longer offer a deal for preordering. Sometimes people will get a code prior to going about a week or 2 in an email and then can preorder for a discounted price

I checked the Disney store online, and the dress they had was different. Unfortunately there isn't a Disney store near us anymore. I keep checking ebay hoping something will pop up there in her size.

I bought the Princess Tiana dress when we were last at a Disney Store for my daughter to take with us. It is Beautiful!! It is the $39.95 from the website too. When the lady at the register was ringing us up she was telling us that she had just taken her daughter to BBB 2 months before. She felt the dress at the Disney store was better quality. I can't judge myself as I have never seen the park dress in real life. She also said that it was VERY limited at the park and not available in all sizes. She told me all this AFTER I bought my DD dress so I don't think it was just making a sale. So if you can't find one the Disney store dress is not a bad option.

My daughter is 9 and decided she doesn't want to be a princess so she picked out a really cute Minnie Mouse dress. She wants the Diva style hair. Will that work with Minnie ears? Also, do they sell Minnie ears at BBB? The ones at the Disney Store and online are pink for mickey mouse clubhouse. We need the normal red ones.

My DD (6) will be going on her 3rd trip and has always admired all the BBB make over looks she has seen through out the days at the parks....so last trip on arrival day (we had nothing else planned) we went to the world of Disney store and purchased the Cinderella dress and all the accessories including the shoes, tiara, even clip on earings.....the next day she was all dolled up (hair make up and nails) for our CRT Ressie. She is bigger for her age and I was able to not only find her size but she actually tried on several dresses right there in the store...pm me if you would like more info $$..
