Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[mindyd]

This thread continually restores my faith in humanity. I am not sure if anyone has had the "priviledge" of reading the BBB thread currently on the boards about the girls looking creepy or not, but I have. That thread totally makes me sad, but this one consistently brings a smile to my face ( and my DD when she sees all the lovely princesses).

Thanks for the lovely photos and wonderful stories of your childs experience. Have a magical day everyone!

I read that thread and was in shock with some of the things written I was going to reply then figured it wasn't worth it. To each their own I guess....

 

[mom2nca]

Thanks for the reply, Im really trying to convince the girls to try to get a dress before we go.

Im just wondering is there a list anywhere that tells you the dresses that you can get at the BBB, why cant they have a bed site with them on it lol it would be so much easier!

I wanted to reply, but decided not too. The expression on my daughter's face the whole day long when she did it for her birthday was priceless in my opinion. I guess it all depends on if you have children, and what type of child you have. Every kid is different, some love things like this, some do not. And I think all the girls look adorable after the BBB. I was sadden by the comments about how they all look terrible and not cute at all. How can you say that???? Their precious little faces glowing is the most adorable thing in the world, whether the 'hair style' is in your taste or not. Also, all the makeup comments were terrible. If you dont want the makeup, just say no, if you want it light, just ask for light. If they want a full face of it painted on, who cares. It is a once in a lifetime experience, and if that is the little girls dream to wear the whole palette, then let them live their dream for the day. It isnt like they are wearing it to school. I opted for 'light' when we went, and in all honestly, it is cheap makeup that wears off with in an hour. So I dont see the harm in it, but that is just my opinion really.

Can I buy the makeup palette by itself?

DD5 has an appointment, but they wouldn't let me make an appointment for DD2 (who turns 3 just 18 days later ). We have an 8 a.m. appt., so part of me is still hoping they won't be fully booked and will take DD2 as well. I know I can't count on that, though, so I thought I'd just paint her nails, put on a little makeup and buy a tiara, and maybe some kind FGIT will give her a little sprinkle of pixie dust as well.

Just an FYI in case folks didn't know. You can buy the hair pins, hair pieces and rhinestone barettes they use at the BBB at several of the gift shops on property. I've seen them at BouTiki, World of Disney in DTD, Tinkerbells' Treasures, Emporium on Main Street, Chester & Hester's Dinorama--you get the picture. This is great for little girls who are too young to do the BBB. You can also get your own pixie dust in form of glitter powder (Wet N Wild or M.A.C).

I am surprised, I thought as long as they turned 3 within 30 days it is ok. Is she potty trained? I think they have to be potty trained and 3. We did ours 14 days before she turned 3 for her birthday, and they had no problem taking my reservation or anything last year.

I'd just call back and schedual it tell them she's 3... many other CM have told people on this thread that as long as they are 3 w/ in 30 days it's fine...maybe just got a crapy CM that hasn't been told this or maybe they have changed things... but i'd call back. Like 18 days is going to make or break it in any way!!!

I would call back and say she is 3.. the FGIT on the board said if they turn 3 within the month they are okay!!

Oh no - is that thread still around I haven't been on her a lot since our trip in September, but that thread started before our trip. It really ticked me off and I did reply to it! When we went to Disney we did BBB (see my siggy) and the other girl's around the park were so cute - I don't know how anyone could say they weren't.

Joy, your DD looks adorable! I too tried to ignore the thread ( this is a new one they started this week), but this subject is to near and dear to my heart to let go. It actually upset me to read the comments these silly people made. One person used the term hideous to describe a little princess. The outright rudeness and cruelty of those comments just got me so riled up I had to speak.

I have vowed to try and ignore the thread from now on, but it is hard. I guess I have been spoiling for a fight since the first time the thread appeared last year. It is sad I know, but really , how can a person who calls themselves an adult see anything but beauty when it comes to a child enjoying themselves at Disney? Too much.

Your princess just made my night!

I totally agree with several OP that you should just call and book at appt for your DD and tell them she is three or will be at your appt. They do not ask for id or require it. The child does not have to be potty trained ( but if she is not maybe a pull up would be good for the BBB. The little princesses can get very excited!!!) Take both of your DDs and have a wonderful day. You will not regret it!

Thanks for the reply, Im really trying to convince the girls to try to get a dress before we go.

Im just wondering is there a list anywhere that tells you the dresses that you can get at the BBB, why cant they have a bed site with them on it lol it would be so much easier!

I can tell you which dresses they had at the Castle BBB last week. They only have one of each dress out....the princess-to-be chooses her style and the FGIT takes her to the dressing room where magically the dress of her style and in her size appears. They have:

Aurora's pink dress
Cinderella's blue dress
Belle's yellow dress
Belle's red winter dress
Ariel as a mermaid
Ariel's wedding dress
Snow White's dress
Tink's green dress

They also had shoes (though the sizes available didn't go up as high as the dresses....i.e. my girls wear 10-12 the largest dress size available, but the FGIT was quite unhappy to report that there were no shoes to match that same size princess).

They had gloves, wands and crowns (same ones you see at Disney Shopping, Disney Store and my daughters said the crowns were very similiar to those at Walmart too). They had little sequined/jeweled purses. They also had jeweled/sequined play cell phones,

If you can convince your little one to pick out a dress at home your wallet will be much happier! But don't have her wear the dress to the park.....carry it and let her go into the dressing room to change. A very elegant and exciting way to start the adventure.

The girls get a little pink bag when they leave that contains their makeup pallette, the comb used on them, some stickers, and if they had their nails done the polish. Also the face jewels that weren't used are in the bag.

Obviously the makeup is a one girl use by BBB for sanitary reasons, same as the comb....but there is nothing to say that you can't use some of your older daughter's makeup on your youngest one.

I'd never advocate lying....but many people have said that they weren't asked the age of the child and didn't volunteer it when making the appointment so you might want to try again to make that appointment.

Also...I believe that the FGIT's who post here have said that the age limit is really about the child's ability to sit still long enough to have this done, and to allow a stranger to work on their hair. Even when you've worked to get all the tangles out of long hair there is still a little bit of pulling that occurs as the FGIT brings all that hair to the top of the head.

We're going to go to Sally's Beauty supply later today and get the wax and hair spray they used, plus some of those clear rubber bands and see if we can't come close to recreating the style for the PP&P next Saturday. Part of me is anxious to try it...the other part worries that if I suceed then I'll be doing a "do" everyday for the next year or two!

 

[JonS99]

I am sure this has already been mentioned, but can anyone tell me the cost of buying everything at the Disney store compared to at the castle???

 

[theparsons]

Oh yeah.....wanted to let those who have a daughter who loves Jasmine know something we discovered.

My girls had the Fairytale Princess style done on Thursday.....the "do" was still nearly perfect on Friday, but by Saturday Jessica's bun was falling, so I had to take it down. But, I left the ponytail in with the piece of hair that wraps around the Pony-O and the little clear rubber bands. While this wasn't as full and fluffy of hair at the top of her head as Jasmine wears....she commented that the ponytail looked just like Jasmines, right down to the rubber bands going down Jasmine's ponytail.

So while FGIT's aren't allowed to change the style any.....there's nothing to say that if you have a Jasmine that you can't take it down a little to give her the long ponytail affect.

Ok, this is after 2 days, so it's a little bedraggled looking, but you should be able to see how it could easily be very Jasmine-like.

Oh...and just because I'm so proud of how beautiful they are, here's my girls after BBB. The photo is taken at the lobby of the GF, just before we went in for tea.

Disney Store sells them for the same price (for example $85 for Belle's Winter Dress....which I got for $20 right after Halloween) BUT.....the Disney store puts them on sale quite often (when we were there right after the New Year most of the costumes were 40% off) and of course right after Halloween the price goes down substantially more than that even. Also...Disneyshopping often has them for 25-40% off throughout the year. Obviously this will only be helpful to you if you have a while until you go.

You can also often find them much cheaper on places like ebay.

Oh hello! I spoke to you and your girls at the boutique! I'm the FGIT who loves Belle and kept admiring your daughter's Ariel dress!

You're right that the bun taken down does look a lot like Jasmine's hair. We get many princesses who want hair that looks like a specific princess.

Are the shoes included in the price? And if so, what if they don't have the shoe size that you need? Is the price a little lower? I am assuming that maybe they ring everything up seperately like the dress, crown, wand, etc;.
Thanks

 

[_queenie_]

I totally agree. I just hope none of the "creepy" people decide to come over here and tell us we are in the wrong!

Definately, I was ready to choke reading that thread! What's the big deal, little girls like getting dressed up, that's what they do!

Thank you so much - she had a wonderful time! Shameless plug - if you want to see more of her, the slideshows I posted of her time there are on page 125 of this thread
