Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ PART II - w/ Photos

[ilovedisney1982]

IMO if you're going to pay for the BBB the castle is much more special. And eating at CRT afterwards is just fantastic for a newly done up princess!

There are prince packages - I don't know if they are here or at the Barbershop though. There's also pirate makeovers elsewhere.

Thanks for the help! Where are the pirate makeovers? You seriously don't know how much my son ADORES pirates!

Hi! Aww, this thread brings back memories. I was a Fairy Godmother in Training at MK's BBB from September 2007- January 2012 when my husband and I moved to CA. I miss it so much! Did any of you have me do you child's (or your) hair? I would love to see pics or videos! I was photographed and video taped all day long- most of which I never got to see the results. I was the only one there named Angela and was also known as the singing Fairy Godmother because I constantly sang along with the background music while working.

Is there a thread/post on here that explains the differences in packages?

Took my daughter for her 4th birthday on 12/20. Great experience! She usually fusses when she gets her hair brushed and she runs from the comb. No problem at BBB! In fact, our Fairy Godmother didn't even need a comb or brush ( I didn't tell her anything about my daughter being fussy...she just didn't use them). The gel they use to lay down the hair is AWESOME. I'm mad I didn't ask for the product's name so I could use it at home.

Overall great time. My daughter enjoyed the pampering and she looked so cute. Of course, she picked the "diva" style and pink hair. I let her roll with it and the pink actually turned out cute. It definitely was a head turner in the park. I plan to do this on each subsequent trip until she tires of it.

Finished!

Her diva attitude came at no extra charge! LOL

Your little princess is so beautiful! She rocked that pink hair really well!

I'm sure it does somewhere in this giant thread... The packages descriptions are explained too on the Disney site. I believe they start around $50 dollars for hair and makeup.

So my DD is very tender headed.... She would love to do BBB, but does not want them twisting her hair and such. I thought the courtyard package would be great. She would love the outfit, but again they are braiding the hair. Anyone else have a child like this? What was your experience?

I am curious as to the answer on this. My girls are sensitive and don't like their hair pulled too tight. I'm worried they will be upset and want it taken down. But they have friends who did BBB so can anyone give me some insight on this?

I'm taking my girls in March. I had originally booked the Castle package. Today, after talking about BBB with them, I discovered that they both want to be Ariel. The mermaid Ariel dress I've seen that they have at BBB is in 2 pieces and shows the belly, so I decided to change my plans and order the dress from Disney Store (one piece and covers the belly). I called the BBB number and let them know we will be doing the Crown package instead (they said I coud have just let them know the day of and hadn't needed to call). I am feeling good about my decision, and the savings is an added bonus!

That's good to know. I am surprising DD with a visit to the BBB and just randomly chose a pkg. I'm glad to hear it shouldn't be a problem to change it once we are there.

When we were there in December, we were able to buy an Ariel dress- the green one like she wears for her meet and greets. It's a ball gown style. However we only bought it there because I was planning on her wearing her Cinderella dress for home, and the night before we left we realized how tiny it was on her.

Are the costumes still that same as in the first picture?
Any hope of a princess sofia dress?

 

[ilanakan]

Do you have to decide the package you want and the hairstyle ahead and notify at booking? Or can my dds devide which style they want ehen we get there?
Are there photos somewhere of the different styles?

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I'm not the expert here, but I have read the whole thread about twice! Your DD can choose from the menu when she gets there - here is a link to the brochure I googled http://www.bing.com/images/search?q...BAFED26229FF58B1F42AE63A385FD&selectedIndex=1

It has some pics of hair styles. You can just google Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique hairstyles and get all kinds of stuff to look at.

Look at the first page of this thread - the OP has lots of info there, and a link back to part I.

Hey DISers!
So I finally booked the BBB for DD on her birthday. We're finally going for the DTD location at 10:15am. Then, we're transferring for a day at Epcot and we have ADR's for Akershus Princess Dining. I decided to go for the big package. Quick question--do they have the Merida costume available in a 10/12? She is a Merida fanatic!! Thanks in advance!!

Has anyone done the BBB right before a holiday party?

We are going next September and were thinking that this would be a perfect thing on the night when we attend MNSSHP.

Do you think we will have enough time?

Do they get backed up and find that you will be waiting for your scheduled time?

That dress is beautiful! My best friend's daughter picked it when they went. Both my girls really want the mermaid style.

I must say that I'm very excited that my older daughter picked Ariel because she has gorgeous red hair. Her favorite princess is Cinderella, so I was surprised when she picked Ariel.

We are going on a Cruise after we are at WDW, and I'm considering buying a second dress for each (including Cinderella for older DD) and letting them have a final pick for BBB the morning we go. They could wear the other dress on the ship to dinner one night (or even each dress on different nights).

We did before MVMCP in December (I actually just wrote about it in the other thread on here now).

We were only able to get a 3:00 on a party night, all morning was booked so I was a little worried. We arrived early to check in and we were actually taken right away.

Because we did the basic package (bun, make up, nails), it didn't take really long, 30 or minutes or so for the hair. The big reveal lasted between 5-10 minutes as her sash and bag was set up and pictures were taken.

We were paid and out by 3:45-3:50. I did the photos right after at Castle Couture as there wasn't a line. All photos went on our photopass+ and they got a lot of good shots! We were in adventureland doing sorcerer's and with our wristbands by 4:30-4:45.

I found the prices of just the dresses to be about $10 more than the ones in the Disney store, IMO not a big deal especially when you're already spending so much to begin with!
