Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[dreambound]

DD has a chin-length bob, so pretty short hair, but she wants something really princessy, and not the pop princess. If anyone has pictures of what they've done with short haired girls, we would love to see them. She wants to go just to get the makeup, but I hate paying $44 for a 10 minute makeup job!

Thanks

Hi I am new to this so bear with me!!!1 My DDs one is 5 and one will be 3 have appts on Nov 25 before the MVMCP and do not know they are doing this. It is a surprise trip with 12 of us going! What all do you get with the Crown pkg? Do I need to take their own brushes, and if you could post some more pictures of your childrens hair after they became the beautiful little princesses, I would appreciate it. and any other suggestions would be great thanks!!!!!

If she wants to be very Cinderella-esque, we can still do the Fairytale Princess on her short hair. What we do is pull up whatever will get into a ponytail and work with that, the rest stays down. If she wants to have long hair and look a bit more like Belle, as we say, the Disney Diva is a great way to go. That one's my favorite.

What are the different hair styles that you can get? My daughters hair is just past her shoulders! I have been wondering what we could get done with her hair. I called yesterday to upgrade my package to the crown so she could get her nails done. Then I am going to bring her own costume. But, another question is if she is only getting the crown package done, can we still get her picture made to be put on the photo pass?

My daughter has a short bob (about chin length). I was concerned about her having the classic princess style, but it looked great.

They pulled as much as they could in a pony tail and left the rest down. The part they pulled up they put in a bun with the tiara around. I was happy with it. They used a lot of hair wax to keep it in place. The only thing I may have done differently would have been to curl the hair underneath before we went. Then it wouldn't have been so straight at the bottom, but it was fine. Also I would have had her nails painted during her makeover. It was only $5 more. For some reason I thought it was included in the coach package and the nails in the next package up where stick ons. It was not a big deal, but she would have liked to have it done.

After we left BBB, we went to the side of the castle (on the path near cosmic rays) and had a lot of photopass photos taken before the castle and with tinkerbelle. They are awesome. We also had the BBB photoshot at Emporium, but I didn't like those as well. They were almost too posed. Tip for that one - shoes show, so take that into account. I had shoes, but left them at the resort because I didn't want to carry them around when she wasn't using them. One of the photos is full length with her pointing her toe, in Crocs!! The photographers did their best to hide the crocs, but they would not let her go barefoot. I'm sure it's for health reasons.

$45 is a huge amount to spend, but she absolutely loved every second of the makeover and got a lot of attention in the park the rest of the day. She was picked in Belle's Storytelling, the Pirate Tutorial and in the Monster's Inc. Laugh Club. Thank God my 7 year old son was also picked for the Pirate Tutorial or else I would have never heard the end of it.

Her hair was still solidly up the next day, but we washed it out because she wanted to wear it differently.

Have a great trip!! I would definately do the BBB again!!!

That sounds so cute!!! But, what are the pictures taken with Tinkerbell?

 

[WoodysRoundup]

I haven't been able to get through all 100+ pages though. So......I have a timimg question. BBB at MK opens at 8am. Is it a good idea to try for an 8am appt. when MK opens at 9am? I was thinking this might be good so the girls could enjoy their style all day long. Has anyone done it that early? Also, will the hair last on rides (roller coasters) all day? TIA!!

Hi,

I just booked the Magic Kindgom location for our April trip I am so excited we went to the downtown location on our last trip but nothing beats the castle. We are just doing the smallest package last time they wouldn't wear the dresses they said they were itchy we are going first thing in the morning before our lunch at the castle.

I read through this whole thread and WOW that was a lot of reading but still havent found the answer to the question I have

I booked my daughter for the castle package in the castle. She has hair a little past her shoulder and strait/ wavy. She wants the hair extensions but I didn't know how long they held up. I saw the bun will hold up for the second day but what has been your experience with the fake hair? Do you take it out before bed and put it back up in the morning? I have never dealt with fake hair so I don't have a clue hahaha I would like her do to last for 2 days just to get our moneys worth

I think the diva hair extentions can be put back in pretty easily even after you take them out - I saw lots of girl's wearing their's later.

Thanks for this update! My DD has a chin length bob to and I was worried they could not do it. Our appt is not until mid January though. Maybe I will bring some velcro rollers for the short bits that hang down.

Thanks again, Suz

The Diva hair piece ("extensions") is basically like a ponytail holder with hair around it. It's secured with hairpins and/or bobby pins. It's very easy to take out and put back on the next day, but the styling of the hairpiece might be a little shot once you pop it back on the head. But, you still get the effect of long, gorgeous hair, and that's usually what counts.

OK, I made my daughter reservations for the crown package for her 7th birthday but then I got reading here about the nails. Do they only do the fake nails? Or can we opt to have them polish them instead? Is there an extra cost to having them polished? And does she get a crown with her package? What if she wants a birthday crown ... do they have any there or should I bring one from home?

I think an 8a appt would be great. As for hairstyle holding up on rollar coasters YES!!!!!!!!!!! I rode rnr with my diva style and other than my personal Tiara giving me one heck of a headache the hair was great. I even slept in it.

My DD had her nails done, and they only painted them. I never saw any fake nails.

And about the crown, I can't help you there. DD wore her own costume in that day. Sorry!

 

[kiminoh]

My daughter had sparkly nail polish put on, no fake nails. Also, somewhere back in this thread someone said they don't accept tips but when we were there a couple of weeks ago, we tipped and so did a lot of people.

 

[kiminoh]

You do not have to buy the expensive package with the costume and all to have a photo session done. I did the middle package and took my dd to the emporium afterwards for a photo session. They told me as long as you have the hair done, you can get pictures done there. I added them to our photopass instead of buying those pictures separately.

Also, she was Jasmine and I did not have any special shoes for her so she did all the photo session bare foot.

Thanks SO MUCH for the info.! It is very helpful. Do you know, does the basic pkg. take just a half hour?

 

[princess z]

Can anyone who has gone to both BBB tell me which one they liked better. I took my daughters to the Downtown Disney one in August and loved it.I also thought the photo shoot was great. I would like to go the the BBB in the castle our next trip. where do they do the photo shoot and how is it.
