Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[jenseib]

These are 4 of my granddaughters after visiting the BBB at MK. In my opinion it is a must do every trip, they grow up so fast. Just wanted to share their smiles for anyone who has doubts if they want to do it. We do the $54.95 package and brought our dresses from home. I purchased 2 of them on ebay for about $30 each and 2 at the Disney Store when they were on sale. Since we usually prepurchase the photopass we don't pay for the imaging package as they just put the photos right on our photo pass card and I don't have to carry photo's all day or remember to pick them up at the end of the day. The photo was taken July 2011. We all love doing the BBB at MK.

They are just tooo cute!

Thank you. The BBB is one of their favorite activities at WDW.

I can't wait to see my little girls all dressed up!!! They are gonna be beautiful!!!

In May will be our first time doing BBB. I already have the little crown and Mickey barrette. I was going to do the hair my myself, but changed my mind. So should I bring them with us. Do you get charged more if you do not have these. Or are they included in the price? I hope this makes sense.

The crystal crown I believe is included in the price if you do the princess hairstyle but with the Pop or Diva it is not included. I think the same is true of the Mickey Mouse Barrette but hopefully someone who knows for sure will come along. Enjoy the Magic at the BBB!

Just wanted to check where the photo shoot was held. Last time I believe we went to Exposition Hall. Is this the same now?

In July we had ours taken at the store behind the castle, it use to be Tinkerbelle's Shop but now it is full of Princess dresses and other items. I was told it would be the permament location, at least that is what the Photopass photographer said then but things always change at WDW.

That would be so much better. It was hard work getting back to the entrance of the park and then back to the castle for CRT.

Not that I'm having any success booking. Today was my 180 days. I couldnt get anything at either location, nor anything at either location for any day in August.

 

[PrincessBelle39]

Scratch that. I thought that that couldn't be right, so I rang back again and got someone else. I had my choice of times so booked 8:10am at the Magic Kingdom on 11 August.

Wow..glad you got an appointment. My 180 days is next week and i so want my granddaughter to do this before lunch..assuming I can get a reservation there too. What time can you call for the boutique appointments? Can it be done online?

Hey all! Love the pictures! We are counting down our trip and I needed to ask a question that I believe was answered earlier, but I cannot remember what it is.

I have booked the largest package for the time being, and we are bringing our own dress. Can someone tell me how I get the dress to the location? We are at MK.

Second, I want to get some comfortable shoes, but pretty enough to have her picture with her dress. I don't want to get the shoes at BBB, as I have heard they are tough to walk around in all day.

Any help? TIA!!!

Okay - this may have already been discussed or may not be news to any of you.... We just decided to book BBB for our vacation and my daughter loves Ariel. She was the first princess she could name. I was getting excited planning how I was going to sew/design her pink ball gown until I looked up the photos of park Ariel. It's like she is wearing the pink dress but it's light blue/teal???? How did I miss that? The one they sell looks like a mix between the wedding dress and her park dress.

Anyway I just thought it was funny because all the items we have of Ariel in our house have her wearing a pink ball gown but I guess I will make the teal one so she can match her in the parks. I think my daughter would like that and I do think the parks dress is very pretty.

The dress in the parks aren't actually from the movie. She can't wear a pink one because that is what Sleeping Beauty wears. And it can't be blue because of Cinderella... so when they "design" a princess they try to give her a different gown than the others so she has a "signature" look. I know the teal gown is supposed to represent a mixture of her wedding dress and the sea.

As far as shoes, Target has some adorable sparkle shoes out right now. I was just looking at them. Probably a little more comfortable than actual princess shoes. Walmart, oddly enough, sometimes has nice sparkle shoes too, but I haven't looked lately. Lastly, I also saw some at The Children's Place, but I'm not sure how comfy they are or not. I'm on a search for ones that fit my older DD, because she's a solid 12.5 wide, and a lot of places don't offer half sizes.
I did totally score really comfy sparkle toddler shoes in pink and silver at Meijer (which isn't everywhere) for $4 a pair on clearance for my youngest DD.

No it can't be done online unfortunately. That would have been my prefererence with having to ring from Australia. I rang at what would have been just after 7am....it was 11pm our time. I'm not sure what the first person was looking at. The first time I rang I used the number 407-WDW-DINE. The second time I called I rang the 407-WDW-STYLE number and she said I could have almost anything for that day.

Make the pink one. Lots of other girls wear the green the sell in the parks. The characters love when they see a little girl wearing a unique costume.

Just know going into it that others will call her Sleeping Beauty. But it's fun to see which CM's "get it".

A friend handed down a dress she made to my DD that was the 'peasant dress Aurora wears when she meets Prince Philip in Sleeping Beauty. She wore it to DL and while many of the other guests didn't get it, the CMs loved it. Aurora also made a fuss about how she and DD could be twins and how comfortable that dress was for picking berries and flowers.

Definitely worth it to go unique!!!

AHHHHH - This makes sense - I guess it's like in real life when women are embarassed if they show up in the same/similar dress.... then everyone will be discussing who "wore it better"

This is really a good idea - I have read your trip reports and love seeing the dresses you do for your daughter (by the way) and that's part of the reason I like sewing the dresses so that she will have something different than everyone else at the parks.

Okay - you guys are totally talking me into this. Last night I searched around on Etsy to get ideas and saw that people had made Ariels light blue day dress that she wears in the "kiss the girl" scene and thought that would be a darling one to try to make as well. Well.... I will have to keep thinking and looking at patterns... we are looking forward to it!

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm sure you can tackle the "Kiss the Girl" dress. Just look for patterns with parts that match the style you want. I sometimes Frankenpattern 3 or 4 different patterns into one item. Good luck!

Just have to say your comment is making me excited about DD5's March appt at the BBB. I do not have your talent to sew but was hoping for a more original dress if DD would go along with it. I purchased that overpriced Cinderella wedding and pink 2-dress combo at the Disney Store before the holidays so Syd could wear the pink Cinderella dress that the mice and birds made for her the day of her BBB appt and CRT ressie.

I am SO excited thinking about it now - was starting to second guess my choice and worry (as us moms do) that I should have waited for the parks Rapunzel dress which she would probably like too, but I think she will be more unique this way. And most importantly, she is excited about the dress and it is NOT SCRATCHY which is huge in her mind! Even if people think it is sleeping beauty at first...

Thanks for the affirmation - so needed something like that today!
