[F.G.I.Training]

Ok stupid question time:
When you made appt's for more than 1 princess did they give you 2 Conf # or just 1. My Dh made appts. for his 2 favorite princesses and only got 1 conf # and when i was verfying adrs cm was a bit confused but whole thing.

they give you 1 conf. number as long as when you made the appt. you said 2 princesses.

I love this thread. 150 pages, but I managed to scan through most of the posts. I'm going to WDW for New Year's in 08-09. Me and my mom are going to the BBB, and we're older princesses ourselves. We were thinking about persuading my brother into coming, but he'll be almost 10, so I don't think he'll wanna. I stole some of the pictures to try and lure him towards it. My mom will be 48, and I'll be 18. We're still going for it tho. It'll be so much fun!!

I only have a couple of questions.

I noticed most of the pop princess styles have clippy thingies, holding all the hair out of their faces.

Do you have to have clippies, or can than let your bangs be in your face? I have side-swept bangs, and I like them down.

Also, I noticed they've used different colors in the pop princess styles. Some are rainbow, and some are purple, and blue, and pink even.

Do you get to choose whether or not they use a rainbow color or a solid color?

Thanks for the info, I get wait til I get 180 days out. I'm still over a year away tho!!!

PS: I'm sorry I had to explain rather than show you pictures. I couldn't get the images to upload right. Ugh.

The clips don't hold the hair out of your face. The pop princess is kind of difficult to explain when you're not looking at it. Your hair is parted across the top of your head from ear to ear, and the front section of hair is styled into 4 "twists." Those twists eventually become part of one main ponytail. So, by taking the clips out, the twists do not fall out. The clips are simply there for decorational purposes.

As far as leaving your bangs out, it's most likely that that hair will be needed to create the twists, so you probably won't be able to leave them out.

You do choose your hair color, but here at the Magic Kingdom BBB we don't have blue as you mentioned. Just purple, pink, and rainbow.

Hope this helps!

I wanted to do our "Trip report" to the BBB as a thank you for all those who posted pictures and info here before our trip. We had a 9am appointment and we arrived about 20 min. ahead of time. I thought having the first appt. of the day would be best, as there would be no wait.

Our FGIT was Diane, who was absolutely great. She knew it was DDs 9th Birthday and made this day very special for her. We had no wait and Diane gave DD a brochure to look at different hairstyles. I was sure she would pick the princess....

As soon as Diane began to work her magic, a wonderful Photopass photographer came around and began taking pictures. She was just as much part of the magic and had the girls pose to dry their nails etc. Sorry this picture is blurry, but I wanted one of the photographer, as I didn't get her name.

I was interested in knowing how the construct these hairdo's. The princess style is the quickest by far. A FGIT could do almost 2 princess buns in the time of one of the other styles. Here is DD with makeup and nails done, hairstyle midway.

Here she is all done.....didn't choose the princess style, but hey it's her birthday and she wanted to go all out. I thought there was quite a bit of makeup, but it wore off quickly.

The as Diane was finishing up, I saw her motioning to the other FGITs. They decided to have DD and other girls be part of a Magical Moment. They were instructed in the proper princess waive. I thought this was so cute, I wish I remembered the saying they used to remember the waive.

I will post our photopass pictures when I get the CD. I wish I could send Diane a thank you note, she was so wonderful and made this a highlight of DDs trip. After the makeover we went to the DTD photostudio. The Photopass photographer from BBB was at the studio and was taking pictures there. Since there was no one else in line, she took extra pictures of DD. They turned out so cute and I appreciated everything she did for us. Later on that day we went to MVMCP at Magic Kingdom and while the face "stickers" kept falling off, the hairdo lasted all night.

After speaking with other parents whose princesses did the BBB, we concluded that morning appointments are better, especially if you plan to have the do for one day only. It is also less waiting at the BBB and photostudio. We saw many little and big girls who had been BBB'd all over the parks. This is such a wonderful experience and worth the hour it took and money spent.PLMK if you have questions, or if you have an address to write the boutique for a thank you note.

Also wanted to add that the crown does not come with this hairstyle. We bought it for DD separately or you can purchase them at the BBB.

Ohhhh. Can you leave your bangs out on the diva style?

It's almost to make our reservations for our June trip, and I was wondering if there are any pros/cons to both locations? I kind of hate to waste time in the MK when we could do it on an off day at DTD...but....it does seem special to have it done there in/by the castle. Any differences, any reasons why one is preferred over the other location? Thanks so much!

Ok... So you can get whatever color they have available.

Also, you dont have to get the clips, you can get a tiara instead and if you dont want it twisted just tell them how you want it. They always accomodate! As you will see in my pic I got the tiara as well!

I have done both locations.
I liked castle better because I felt more like royality here, but it was also my first trip to Castle BBB. The theming in castle has a blue and purple theme to it. Plus you can get an 8:00a appt here. I also had 2 FGMiT here. Photo studio is located at front of MK in exposion hall and has med.dark blue background.

Dtd:
Has a pink and purple color theme to it, seems more hyper being in princess room of world of disney room, Earliest appt was 9:00a anytime I've ever booked appt here at 180 days out. I had tempatation of WOD store as I was walking in or out of store, plus whole DTD shopping thing., Parking was a breeze, bus transport is fun too, Only had 1 FGMiT here. Photo studio is located in Guest relations buliding. and has med blue background.

Both locations have their pluses I'm an AP holder and seem to end up in MK everyday of trip anyway so trip to MK isn't issue for me. You can go to DTD on a nonpark day and not burn park tix. Where with MK location you need park admission.

Definitely! That ends up looking very nice.

Actually, if you do not want the twists that come with the pop princess, we cannot do the pop princess for you. We cannot do the hairstyles any different than how they appear in the brochure. Slight variations are okay of course, like making the pop princess a "little less spiky" or the diva a "little less poofy." If you want the hair extensions without twists, you will have to go with the Disney Diva.

Also, if you choose to get a tiara, it will not be in place of the clips. You will still receive the clips, but you don't have to wear them if you don't want to. The tiara will still be an extra 10 dollars.

Just to clarify, the location will not depend on how many FGITs your princess will have. This is determined by how many FGITs are in boutique at the time (some of us have other important duties, like helping Cinderella, Jasmine, etc.). Sometimes it just isn't possible to have two FGITs at every chair.

This was not the case for me last year! They asked me if I wanted the twists since my hair was so short. They said they could just do the hair and no twists and I could have the tiara instead. I just got them both because my little cousin wanted me to have both. So maybe this has changed or it depends on the FGIT you get? They actually didnt charge me and her for the tiara, said it was a dream gift! I dont know, I guess it wouldnt hurt to ask.

We are taking my DD to the BBB in less that two weeks. We are so excited, but have managed to keep it a secret as it is her 7th birthday present. We are really looking forward to going and this will also be our first trip to Disney World! Thanks for all of the great information here, it has really helped us out.

I do have a question though....we have purchased the Castle package for Ellie. Do the shoes come with the costume or do I need to buy those separately? We are also planning on going in the afternoon and then heading on to the Mickey's Christmas Party afterwards. We have a 3:30ish reservation on Sunday the 9th. I know they can be running late, but I don't think we will be too bad. Anyone else planning on being there around that time/day?

 

[princssdisnygina]

If you purchase the castle package yes you get the shoes and a wand I believe!
As far as going to the Christmas Party... they start letting you in the MK at 4pm but you can get in anytime between 4 and the end of the party! So if they are a little late, dont worry, you will be fine!

No, but we will be the one week later on Sunday the 16th for my DD's 8th birthday!! I have also have managed to keep it a secret. Here's hoping they both have magical birthdays.

In the MK BBB, for certain, you will be charged 10 dollars extra for a tiara with any hairstyle other than the Fairytale Princess. Also, not having to get the twists in a Pop Princess is very rare, and I know that we are strongly encouraged never to "change up" the hairstyles. Fairy Godmother's orders.
