Thank you Mandy and Suz!!



Now I can't wait to look at more BBB pictures ~ I'm sooooo glad I made their appointments!
yaaaahhhh hoooooo!


I have personally driven to DTD several times, I have never had an issue parking as I tend to arrive appox. 8:30-8:45a 90% of lot is empty. No matter how you get to DTD A tip I learned is to walked around to door with princess statues outside it as those doors tend to be open before others are unlocked. As for driving to Epcot I don't know if that would be a good choice as the parking lot is on future world side and out in tim buck too I understand. Also remember the bus stops at Epcot are out in no mans land. I'd personally do Beach Club route as that way you will be on WS side of Epcot.and also will have a car there so we could possibly take that to DTD and then either back to our resort or Epcot, but I'm not to sure about the parking situation at DTD and then the parking situation over at Epcot, it might just be easier to take busses anyway . My Mom is our biggest concern as far as walking long distances as she has knee and ankle troubles.
Bumping again in the hopes that someone has a picture of the red/green Christmas hair style that was offered. Thanks.![]()
I have been to the BBB the past two christmas seasons and do not remember christmas hair? Here are my two pics. I could be wrong but I do remember my visit very well! We had a blast!

Well when you go to get on the bus if there is no bus to epcot the beach club would be the next best route from DtD. Also keep in mind that you can go back to the photoshoot location any time before they close if time is an issue. Also please let us know the bus situation if it ends up being true.
Yes you can get photoshoot pics on CD without buying prints as I have done this mutilpe times. I let Photopass person know I was buying CD and They seemed to take extra pics of me.Thanks, then maybe we will drive to DTD! This is our first family trip to WDW so I am really unfamiliar with where everything is and how long time it takes to get from place to place. I just started looking at maps last night and it's all a bit overwhelming.
We will be staying at DVC property and I had been told that I will be able to get free Valet parking too, so maybe we could drive to the Beach Club and get the valet parking. Does anyone know if I could do this?
Also I was hoping that someone could clarify something for me. We will be getting the photopass and I know that all the picts taken at the BBB will be on the CD, but can we still do the (sorry i forget the technical name for it) photoshoot pictures with the blueish backgrounds even if we have no intention of buying any prints at all? I would love to have these shots on my photopass to print at a later time but don't want to buy any actual prints or photo packages from WDW.

I just wanted to post that driving around disney can be some what confusing so if you drive still give yourself enough time to at least get to BBB if you show up late to akershus they will still seat you. BBB will to but that is probably a longer wait.
Its good that they added the photo as long as they don't go up on the amount of credits to use for it or did they. My avatar pic is from breakfast at akershus in aug 2006. My mil took this pic of dd in dec 2005 at breakfast as well.

I just started reading this. I am only on page 20! I just love the pictures.
We made an appointment for our checkout day (march 7) for 11 AM at DTD. Now I am worried that maybe I should try to up it a bit. Should I? We will only have 2 hours and then need to be back at the resort for the bus to the airport. But I wanted to be sure we were all packed too and ready to leave when we took off for DTD.
Also those Aurora dresses on the first several pages are gorgeous! Is that style still at Disney? And how much? I may go looking at the Disney store this week to see if they have one that catches my eye, but last week when we went there (and bought a really cute pink Minnie dress for the trip) I remember mostly seeing Tinkerbelle stuff out. I hope I jsut wasn't paying attention.
this is a really great thread, but I most likely won't have it finished till after we get back!
I haven't seen this addressed here, but it's possible I could have missed it (I have just been glancing through the entire thread), our appointment isn't until later in the afternoon, if we brought our own dress for BBB (at the Magic Kingdom) would it be possible for me to drop it off there that morning? I don't want to carry it around all day in the parks (although we will have a stroller so I could put it in a dress bag and hang it from the stroller, but I would worry about someone taking it). Also I know you can rent lockers but I don't want the dress to get wrinkled... Should I just spend the extra $$$ and buy the dress and acc. there? Thanks
When is your trip scheduled for. My dd's don't wear stockings under their costumes unless it is really cold. I do recommend bringing a change of clothes though. As for shoes I let my dd wear the shoes she wears on a daily basis which is flip flops, crocs, and balleria flats, however I will admit that my dd does have the luxury or riding in a stroller so if that is not an option I would consider the crocs or tennis shoes. I walked around MK, AK, and MGM w/ crocs myself and I was very impressed b/c they were my first pair and I had to buy them in disney b/c my tennis shoes fell apart while in disney. I have the disney mary janes.
I will second the vote for crocs. Maryjanes would look cute with either outfit and can be used the whole trip. If you want shoes for the pictures that go with the outfits, maybe get some from the Disney outlet or wal-mart/target etc. That's what we did, my DD was Cinderella, so I found the "glass slippers" at Wal-mart for $8.00 and she wore those at BBB and for pictures. Then I had gotten clear sandals at Old Navy and she wore those for walking around the park (though my DD had a stroller too) We were there in Sept, so it was way too hot for tights. I get my DD bike shorts from Gymboree to wear under all her dresses (it's all she'll wear) so she wore a pair of those under her dress.
