Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[misch88]

My daughter is finally 3, so this is the year for BBB. We have a first of the morning appointment at the castle for her and 1 of her brothers who is going to become a knight!
She is Ethiopian, so has very tight, frizzy curls and I was planning a tight braid up-do for the week. When I spoke with the CM who made our appointment she said the people at BBB will work with it. Does this sound right or should I try to bring her with her hair down? I don't mind if they just add accessories and pixie dust and don't really touch the hair, but I just want to make sure that this CM was right.
Thanks!

The CM is correct, your daughter can still have her hair done. I was a FGIT on the DCP and we did braided styles all of the time. If she has microbraids they can still do it, if she has several larger braids it can still be done albeit not as easily as the microbraids. With them she can have any style, I know I did all three when the princess had small braids. If they are larger braids I would recommend a style other than the fairytale. If you would like to leave her hair down, it can still be done and will look absolutely beautiful, my favorite then is the fairytale. They have hair products that work on all types of hair and a stronger one for those tough hairs to get down. I think you should definitely still go and your daughter will love it no matter what. Enjoy!

Hi all,
I was wondering if I could purchase just the crown that is used in the Fairy Tale Princess package or is that available exclusively through having an appointment and package booked? What about the nail polish that is used? If so, does anyone know the price of these items?

Thanks in advance.

You can get any of that all over Disney but a great place to buy those things are at Downtown Disney just outside of the BBB where they have everything they use there.

World of Disney at DTD

Mousegear at Epcot has the hair accessories and the costumes as well.

Hi,
I have an appt at 8 am in the Castle. How long will it take from start to finish, I was told 2 hours, but that seems like a long time.
Also where do they take the photos? Do we have to walk to the front of the park, for some reason I remember it being up there.

Jenseib, I know you have gone to the Castle, I am hoping you remember how long it took?
Also I was thinking of bringing a dress with us since I was told Tiana was hard to get. We can still get her picture taken after right?

Thanks in advance,
Traci

We had a later appointment, (11:30, I think) and with out going back to my notes, I think they ran about 20 minutes or so behind. Then it should only take about 45 minutes once she's seated. Since you have a first thing appointment, I would think it would be no longer than an hour tops, but probably more like 30 minutes. Which package are you doing? If you are picking a dress, it may take a bit longer...more like 40-60 minutes.
I have not been there since they moved the photoshoot, but I think it is now in Tinkerbelles treasures. You have to wait your turn, and those with packages that include the photoshoot are first. But you can come back at any time during the day if you want and try it. It depends on the photographer. Some might be quick, and some take there time. We actually went back later and had pictures with my DH added, since he wasn't around when we first went.
We actually didn't do much in MK that day other than taking pictures and BBB. We arrived about an hour before the appointment and went up mainstreet taking photopass photos, then checked in, waited, and then worked our way up mainstreet to get the photoshoot, again getting more photopass pics. After that we did meet and greets with several characters in the area while we waited for DH to meet up with us. We went back did more photos with him, came out to watch the afternoon parade and then we left for our 4 something ADR at 1900 PF. The original plan was to head back to MK after that, but DD wanted to go back and swim. So we headed back to Pop, I pinned her hair up, and then she went swimming with DH and I went back to MK for about 2 hours.
The day was really all about BBB for us, and though I was disappointed we didn't do more, I wouldn't have traded it for the world either.
WE are planning to go in Dec for her b-day. I have a BBB at 10:4- and CRT fro 4:15. I really don't expect to get much anything else done that day again. The park closes at 7PM that day. But those are the 2 things she asked to do on that day. I am hoping to catch a few rides if possible, but if not, we will survive. I do hope to do the photoshoot again this time, but I have heard they are stricter now, and more people are doing it, so I guess we'll see how time is when we go.

Thanks for your reply.

I am debating getting her the dress in World of Disney, (we get 10% off, so big incentive!) or just doing the big package at the Castle.
Knowing we can go back and do pictures later is really good to know. I have to do the dumbo dash lol

Thanks for the info, ( I have been lurking on your trip report, I hope hubbys hip is better for your trip!)

Just purchased the Disney Store Jasmine dress for my daughter. They did not have the shoes in her size and they are no available online. However, the Theme Park exclusive shoes are available for a few dollars more. They seem to be slippers. Is this correct?

This is the description:

Disney Parks Authentic Princess Jasmine Shoes
"Pointed, curled-up toes and a sparkling cameo give these exotic Princess Jasmine slippers glamour enough for a Sultan's daughter."

Can anyone who has seen these in person tell me if they are shoes or a slipper?

What size does your DD wear. I have been thinking of listing my DD's size 11 (i think) on ebay. She only wore them a few times and had the nerve to grow!!!!

They are kind of a slipper with a elastic heal so it fits snug. We got these before and we ended up going back and getting the gold flip flop ones. The jasmine slippers are about an inch or so off the ground and they are cute but she wasn't comfortable. But its up to you! I think it depends on the kid.

I think the pair with the elastic in the back run small so I would need a 13/1!

None of the princess shoes look very comfortable. Especially the hard plastic style! I may wait until we are there and she can try them on!

What will they do with little girls with short hair??

We got them at Disney World...the best way I can describe them is like a house shoe..they do have a somewhat of a hard bottom but the rest is like a slipper my DD was only 2 and had no problem wearing them...especially since they arent the plastic material.

Our pair isn't like that. We have the shoe with the curled toe. We did buy the elastic back one this year, and you are right, they run small.

Anybody see any Rapunzel dresses at BBB yet?

I want to know this too. Anyone?

 

[princessekrus]

Bump.. Dying to see what they come up with for Rapunzel at BBB. We are going to be at WDW when the movie opens, so I'm hoping that they will have it by then at least!

I know DD4 will want it (she already has the hair braid from the disney store). Is it just me or does the rapunzel dress form the disney store have really small armholes. My daughter has normal size arms, but the sleeve looked like it would be tight - I thought about buying it anyway and modifying it with elastic, but also thought I would wait to see what the parks came out with since we will be there anyway.

Also trying to decide which princess gowns to pack for the trip. I know DD will want to wear one every day rather than regular clothes.
