Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

They will TRY to seat them together, but you might have to wait longer if this is important.

An appt at BBB at 3 with a 5 PM at the GF is not even CLOSE to enough time, unless you want to spend the entire time fretting over your watch. That late in the day, I don't think it's unusual for them to run 30 to 45 minutes behind. Allow 45 minutes for the makeover and you can see where things can go wrong. That also leaves no time for photos after. Do yourself a favor and add a couple more hours into that schedule if possible. BBB at 2 and GF at 6 would make me much happier with the schedule. But then, I like to err on the side of caution so I can be in the moment and not worrying about the schedule.

Much time for photos? I don't have a photo package, I don't know what you mean by that. What happens if I am late to my dinner ADR?

You don't need a photo package. Anyone can go into the studio and just have them added to your package. I would also suggest a few photos out in front of the castle before you leave.

If you're more than 15 minutes late, they can refuse to seat you AND charge you the $10 per person no-show fee.

Totally agree! I want to say we had a 10:30 or 11 apt at BBB for the knight package and even then we didn't sit for his apt on time! Both your girls may not start at the same time either. Then you add the time to trek back to the monorail, wait for a train, etc....2 hrs, no way will you make it!

What is TS Debby?

What is TS Debby?

Tropical Storm Debby. She's causing a lot of havoc down there right now and is responsible for all that rain.

Ok then I need a suggestion,
If I move my dinner to 6, and move my pirate cruse to another day,
what could I do after dinner while the girls are dressed up.
Its the night of MNSSHP

Thanks

I have a few questions
I have BBB booked in September for my 2 girls, I did book the Courtyard Package, but they will wear their Cinderella dresses, can they just take the tshirt and tu tu home and not wear it that day?

I honestly can't see them forcing a girl in a princess dress to swap out for the tutu/shirt, but as we were the only ones getting the Courtyard, I don't know for sure. They will probably explain that if the shirt/skirt don't fit, you won't be able to exchange once you leave - I believe I overheard something about that regarding shoes with another guest.

How much is the courtyard package?

I want to say it was close to $86, but honestly can't remember and we had a few add-ons that brought it up a bit. I will try to find my receipt, but somewhere just over $80 seems right.

I can't say for certain, but we were at the end of the night at DtD and there weren't many appointments left but we still were behind our appt time and it took about 45 minutes for DD to be done. If you assume that the appointments stack up as the day goes on, you will probably be in the seat around 330, give an hour for the makeover, that doesn't leave a lot of time to get out of the park and over to GF... and that's assuming they can do both girls at the same time. The chances of two FGiT being free at the same moment are slim, and they might stagger your girls some.

HTH!

I am not 100% sure if the extensions are put in a set place or if the FGiT just sort of puts them where they will go.

There are four total (two of each color) and DD had two immediately in her ponytail in the back, and two just next to where all of the hair was gathered in the back (so on the hair pulled into the ponytail). Here are two quick pics I found that show the rear and extensions better: (these are from Day 2 and the one with Rapunzel is after slogging around in the rain for 5 hours)

You can kind of see the blue extension to the side of the rear ponytail:

Rear shot

The tutu and the shirt come with and as of now, there are no options. I got the feeling from two FGiT that they are considering adding other colors to the tutu options, but for now WYSIWYG. That said, the tutu is actually nicely made and worked well since I didn't want to put DD in her princess dress that night, so she just puddle jumped in her new skirt!

I will say that the extensions came out SUPER easy because DD wanted them out Monday afternoon, so we popped them out but kept the hairstyle.

Day 3, w/o extensions

Thanks for sharing the extra photos! Super cute!

Very cute photos! I feel like my DD will be coping you when we go in Sept. - so far we plan on the Courtyard package and as of now her Rapunzel wedding dress is the one she plans on wearing around

Hmmm.. we are going late Sept. looks like you are going before we are. If you get back before the end of Sept... Please will you post pics since dd wants to wear a Rapunzel dress too.

You are taking a HUGE risk. When it is later in the day the BBB is known to be a little behind then you are talking about travel to the GF and waiting again for your reservation. I think you could get to CR from GF by 7:30 if you get in at 5 and only if you make it to the GF by 5. The ONLY way you would make it on time is if you got right in at 3 and they didn't waste their time. I do feel like no matter, you will be rushing yourself. The BBB appt should have been about 1 or 2. And you know on the cruise there will be hair blowing and such not making for a good experience with extensions in the hair... just sayin.

Thank you for all the info.,

I can move dinner back to 6:55
then move the cruise to another day, BUT

This day that we are doing all of this is for a birthday celebration, if I move the cruise will I ruin the big day?

You are in Disney where every day has the potential to be awesome! I say extend the birthday celebration to another day. The last thing you want is to have all your planning ruined by stress over getting to so many places in such little time.

Thank you everyone for your feed back.
I have spoken to my DH and I am just going to keep things as is.
No one ever said I was the brightest crayon in the box
But I am starting to second guess all my ADR's and I just have to stop.

The main reason I don't want to move things is I don't want have to pay $200 to get the girls all done up and then go to dinner than then back to the room and the go swim or something. In 2009 we did this when my 1st DD was 5
(BBB, 1900PF, then MNSSHP) My BBB time was 3:30 and dinner was at 5.
I looked up my notes from then.

This year we are celebrating 2nd DD's 5th, so instead of MNSSHP we are doing the cruise.

I did tell DH that I will be stressed and we may very well have to book it to dinner and the cruise and he is all in (I think he said that just to shut me up about Disney)

Anyway.. Thanks again all for you for your advise. I did think about it alot
