Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[LadyTrampScamp&Angel]

Thank you for answering. We are so excited, we're going to a P & P party that night

Can anyone tell me how much the sequin shoes are(like the gold Belle ones)?

 

[kkproulx]

They are a gold sequined shoe, flat, with a heart shaped cameo with a picture of Belle in the center. I would highly suggest to have the girls put them on for the photo shoot only or put Body Glide on their feet before walking down mainstreet to the photo shoot. My DD walked from the castle to the photo shoot and got blisters. These are VERY stiff shoes for delicate feet. Here's a couple pictures....

The whole tipping thing -
Tips at something like this are usually cash. I have been told that they should not be tipped but that's not how my DH and I do it. I tipped our FGM directly, at the end just before we cashed out. I did it very quietly and slipped her $20 when I shook her hand goodbye and thanked her.
Have fun and remember not everyone does the tip thing at BBB.

I am a stylist, (Or used to be when I worked) when you tip, you normally just hand it right to the stylist before you go an pay. But it has been said on this board that the FGIT are NOT supposed to get tips and can be fired for taking them.

I Haven't had time to read this whole tread yet, but does anyone know offhand if the minnie dress I am seeing in photos from the DDD BBB is at the MK location. We are planning on an appointment there as it is just more convinent but DD4 has her heart set on the "Minnie Dress"!!!

The pink Minnie Dress I posted a few pages ago was not at the parks. I got it at the Disney store and it's just newly out.

That was not the case two weeks ago today in the Castle boutique

Well we are back!
DD was so excited to get her hair done and talked about it all week. Wel lThursday she got sick. (she had been sick 2 weeks ago and I think never truly got over it.) So we went for our Firday mornign appointment. We went even earlier and could get right in. But DD started crying and said she was scared and shy. A couple FGIT came out to talk to her, but it was a no go. I wasn't going to put her through it if she was that upset. I was dissapointed, but it wasn't about me. LOL!
We did buy TWO dresses on our trip though! I bought her the Ariel wedding dress and she wore it alot, and then the Aroura one for the BBB. They are just beautiful! I did buy a tirara (two actually as she lost one at the Muppet 3D show) and then some blonde hair and did our own do for the plane ride home. She was still a bit sick though and not her pleasant self, so about half way home we took it out and basically did anything to please her at that point to avoid crying. LOL!
I did notice DTD was taking walk ins too.

As for the tipping, I have not read this whole post, but up to about page 60 or so. And in all the earliuer posts it sasy you are NOT to tip. And they said there is a sign up that says that. I do not agree with that, as I think all stylist should be tipped. It may have changed, like I said I haven't read it all the way through yet. But I wouldn't want them to get in trouble either. If anyone knows the offical ruling on this now, please post it!!

As for the prices of the dresses. Tehy were marked differently, even in the same stores. Some marked 60 some 64.95. But at the register they rang up at 64.95. The Ariel wedding dress was not a higher priced dress. At least at the store. And I never saw a cinderella wedding dress at any of the stores either.

I took a few of DD in my "makeover" LOL! It was done very fast as she was still crying.

And just becuase I really loved this dress, here is her Ariel dress. This was the day she had been in the room most of the day sick, so she is not looking as chipper as usualy, but she wasn't really smiley much the whole trip either. LOL!

We were at the Castle in Spt. and someone asked the cashier if you tip. And she said it was up to her to do as she saw fit. Meaning, to tip if she wanted.

I know you can now Tip FGiT if you wish but it's not required. This poilcy change took place around time BBB in castle opened. I personally tipped my FGIT during last vist.

 

[jenseib]

Thanks for letting me know that. If we ever make it back, (And I sure hope we do) I will definately tip! I thought it was weird that they weren't allowed to before. That is how hairdressers make their money usually.

It had something to do with they are hair braiders not dressers. and I believe they make same hourly wage as say a CS cashier.

She is right this policy has changed. We accept tips now.

I'm not sure what that means, but in Ohio, the law is you can't work on someones hair for money with out a cosmetolgy license. I assume it's the same in all states. so I would assume they have a license. But maybe there is some loop hole they go through.

Also regular hairdressers don't really make squat either. Some get a hourly wage that is minumum wage plus after bringing in a certain amount may make some commission. others make a commission only and it my be 50% but not always. Which may seem like alot, but some days can be busy and some slow, so some days you may make next to nothing.

No, FGiTs are not required to be licensed, although some are. They are taught to do the 3 styles.
Yes, tips are now allowed. The policy changed the day the castle shop opened. Tips must be in cash handed to the FGiT

On the subject of tips, they are allowed to accept them, it is at your discretion not required or included in the bill. Also if your fairy godmother in training goes above and beyond to interact with your daughter try to make a stop at guest relations if possible and let them know! For magic kingdom this is at city hall in the very front of the park. Although they do not get compensated for this, it is always nice to know when you've done a good job, and it lets the managers know what a great job they did too!

OMG! I am so excited right now a little over a week ago I ordered a sleeping beauty costume for my dd and it just came yesterday but my dh didn't tell me till we got home from the movies last night. Dh went to pick her up from her nana's house so I opened it and laid it out on the sofa w/ the necklace. If you would like to see a pic of it it is the lillian vernon dress and I paid 15.99+shipping total it was 22.50. I am so excited.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

Okay so dd loved the costume today I will have to post a pic of it later. At first she kept telling me it was too big but after a little while she didn't want to take it off. I will say this that brand does run a bit big on her, she will be 8 in sept and the dress is a 7-8 I could have gotten the 5-6 and it would have been a perfect fit but she is petite so I have to take that in to consideration as well.


I also wanted to say I was in target today and while I was there they two things that I thought I would mention.

1~ in the shoe department they had pink glittery disney princess ballet flats my store didn't have very many left.

2~ for those who like the pink dress that my dd is wearing on page two I mentioned that target had some similar online a couple of months ago but while in there today they had the dress w/ just a little less detail not much for 29.99 it was on the isle w/ the would doll house.
