Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[GatorLady]

I read back several pages and didn't see any discussion about this. Sorry if I missed it.

Does anyone know if they will be continuing to take photos for BBB at Exposition Hall, or are they all now being done at Castle Couture? The following is taken from allears.net:

"Located across the courtyard from Cinderella Castle, this new shop allows Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique guests to have their royal portrait taken in regal style. But the experience is not limited to just the young princess as family-style portraits are also available here. A studio has been set up and offers a formal setting in which to capture the moment.

In addition, guests no longer need to pick up their portraits at Exposition Hall on Main Street as they can be purchased and printed at Castle Couture."


TIA

Thanks jenseib! We are not going until the end of the month so hopefully all will be sorted out by then!

We just got back and the only photo studio I saw was at Castle Couture (although we didn't really look for another one LOL)

We walked in and there were only about 2 other people waiting so we got the girls pictures taken there. They turned out AMAZING. Like really really good. I'm picky since I'm a photographer and I was thrilled with the results. I'll probably edit them once the c.d. gets here but they are SO cute.

My only issue w/ the whole thing was that the matching hairstyle made them look identical so I had to look at their heights to tell them apart

also, I didn't see anyone in there getting the full package. It seemed that everyone either brought their own dresses or just did the hair. I had their dresses made so they would be cotton and comfy.. was afraid the other's would be itchy (plus it saved a booty load of money).

We were THRILLED with it and the girls were just amazed. they slept with their hair still up and it still looked great the next day.

Thanks ZanyToes for posting your experience at Castle Couture! Your daughters are just adorable, what great pictures!!!

It will be so nice to have a picture taking location so close to the castle. In the past we would wait until we were leaving the park for a lunch break to get DD7's pictures taken and being the summer maybe we weren't as "fresh" as we would like to have been. This will be just great!

Gorgeous girls...and your right they look Identical!

Where exactly is the Castle Courture at then? Is it at Tinkerbells treasures?

 

[Charlefours]

I am wondering the same thing (where Castle Couture is located) since we will be heading there in September.

 

[ZanyToes]

I'm not sure what used to be in that building but it's very near the castle. Sort of in between the castle and the carousel.

Yes, it was Tinker Bell's Treasures. Here is the link to the allears.net article.

Does anyone have pictures of african/african american little girls hair from BBB? How did it go?
My daughter is Ethiopian and has VERY curly, coarse african hair. She would love BBB, but I'm concerned about what will happen. Can I bring my own hair products? How long can she keep the hair products they use in?

Thanks in advance!

I used to work in the boutique and we cannot use any products other than the ones we have (none that others bring in...but you can always add yours after you leave the boutique. A lot of people added their own accessories/etc when they left). I had a lot of girls come in with very curly, thick hair (mine is this way too haha) and it was no problem. We have all kinds of brushes for all kinds of hair and quite a few products to keep it in tack. You can always ask for the fairy godmother to put in a little bit extra of "princess glue" haha

 

[Charlefours]

I am not sure if anyone will the know this answer, but perhaps someone heading soon might be able to find it out.

With moving to Castle Couture location, they are offering family portraits. Can someone tell me if they will do a few after our DD does her BBB appointment? I thought it might be fun to capture the moment as a family.

Also, we have a BBB at 8:00 a.m. Anyone know what time they will begin taking photos at Castle Couture? Ideally before the park opens, but I imagine that is not going to happen. We want to join the Dumbo madness but may have to get pictures instead.

Earlier on this thread there was a wonderful series of transformation pictures of a little girl with African American hair. She turned out to be the cutest little thing I have ever seen. Her mom said the products were wonderful and it stayed well...You may have to just take some time and go through the post. I know its a lot though.

So adorable. Aren't these dresses from CarolinaCreationsToo? We have her Belle one and LOVE it. My DD will wear it for BBB and then the dress my Grandma made her for dinner in the castle.

What's the latest on tipping at BBB? I saw a thread awhile back that said they can no longer accept tips...does anyone know if this is true or not that has been recently?

Thanks! Leaving in 3 days...

 

[jenseib]

As far as I know it used to e you couldn't tip when they first opened, but now they are allowed to accept them.

They might be at this point, you can always ask when you check in at the front to double check
