Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[Sand]

Thank you Jenseib! Was there an extra cost?

 

[jenseib]

no, we bypassed the desk and went straight to the photographer. She told us that was goo, as the desk will pressure you into buying a package of prints

 

[Sand]

Great advice! THANK YOU!!

Last time we did BBB my DD wore a reversible Cinderella dress. (rags to riches on one side/Cinderellla on the other). This time I was able to book CRT after we do BBB. I also have 1900 Park Fare scheduled for dinner one night. (Which would be Cindy characters). So if you were me what princess dress would you dress in. I also have the Enchanted Giselle dress. I was thinking that may be a good dress for BBB where it is something different.

We are heading to BBB in September -- and are booked for the highest package. However, after reading this thread I am a bit worried now. Should I downgrade it to the middle one and just bring our own costumes? What all comes with the highest package? I know the hair, makeup, nails, dress & pictures but what other accesories come with it? Do they get a crown with the middle package? And which crown is it? The princess beady costumey crown or a metal/crystal one? Can we bring our own crown to use if they don't?

Just trying to figure things out! THanks!

(Oh, is the first post really the updated dresses? It hasn't been updated in a year or so so was wondering if there was a more updated selection of dresses to look at.)

Yes for the most part I think the first pages are pretty accurate with dresses. They haven't chabge them in more than a year.
A tiara comew only with the bun hair do, no matter which package. The full package gets a crwon (beaded kind) wand, and shoes as well I think.

 

[jenseib]

OK, I looked at the first page and no those are the current ones. I think the other BBB thread has the current ones on the first page. I think somewhere in here they are updated, but no clue which page

If you already have dresses for you kids I would downgrade. But that is just me. I did the hairstyle with the bun that comes with the silver rhinestone crown the last trip. The CMs didn't even make a big deal about picking out a dress. Where your kids are 7 & 3 I think it would be easier on youself that you pick out what they are going to wear beforehand. I am assuming they are both girls. I know with my daughter she would be changing her mind 20 times before she had the makeover. This way going in they know what they are going to wear. I did however let DD look at the dresses and took pics like she was pickign out a dress. I had the reversible dress so I did a photo outside with her hair all crazy. Then we went inside and flipped the dress to Cinderella and took pictures in the changing room with her looking into the mirror. If you don't have a reversible dress I would tell them you would like to change the girls. I think it gives the girls more of the full experience.

If you don't have dresses for them then I would definately do it there. Or do a special shoppinig day prior to your trip. You can always find them cheaper online or in a local store. I currently do not know what the current dresses look like at the parks.

DD really wants a tiana dress. Have been searching the web and there are alot of varieties out there. We are planning to go back for a surprise trip in Oct and attend MNSSHP. Can anyone advise what the Tianadress at the BBB sell for?
TIA!

 

[jenseib]

Probably $65. I think thats what all of them are selling for now.

 

[Betner]

yipe!that is a lot of money for a dress! Do they ever discount them at Downtown Disney.

Thanks!

I have time to try to find a bargain somewhere.

Since you are going in Oct, you will be able to find alot of different options for much cheaper when all the halloween costumes come out, both at the Disney Store and everywhere else. For the $65 you could get her the dress, shoes and some extras a much better deal.

I have seen a good Tiana dress at Target for not too much. I don't know exactly, but it was much less than $65. Even the one they have at the disney store is less - $39.50

I got DD the BBB Tiana dress, which is good, but the disneystore.com one is just as nice.
Here is a pic of the one that is in the BBB.

As another poster said, there will be lots of options because of Halloween. Good luck and have a great time!

At DTD, you can get 10% off with a Disney Visa or AAA special card, if you booked your trip through AAA

Sorry if this has been asked already. We are going for the first time to BBB in July. I booked the middle package. Should I dress the girls in their dresses at the hotel or bring them with me and dress them there?

 

[Charlefours]

Either option works. They will let you dress them there regardless.

 

[Tinker_Tam]

I have bought the Tiana dress from the Disney store and I have to tell you it is one of the prettiest dresses I have seen. The pictures do not do it justice. It brought tears to my eyes when my daughter tried it on at the store. I knew it was a MUST then!

Hoping this works. I did a search on Disneyworld dresses and this looks like it is from 2009 with the Tiana dress. There is a slideshow of some of the dresses. I wish you could zoom in more. I love the purse with the Cindy dress.... Looks like from one of the pics the price is $64

Do we have anyone out there that is visiting the parks that would update us with some new pics?

 

[abarry90]

We debated and debated whether to do BBB for my 6 year old niece and have decided not too. Mostly we just don't want to have to pay that much and then decide to go to a water park that day and regret spending the money.

So my question is, if we do a do-it-yourself version, do they sell the official princess make-up there? Like the eyeshadow and nail polish etc.?

If so, does anyone know how much it costs?

Thanks!
