Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[AuNtMaYmE]

Just booked my dd for the BBB for our Disney vacation in April. I booked the castle pkg. On the phone they told me that the cost would be between 179 and 249, depending on the dress! Can you tell me which dresses are at which price???
Also, how early should we arrive?
Can I have the pictures put on the photopass???

Thanks! I love looking at all the pix!!! I promise to post when we return!!!

I just booked one for April 10, and they told us to arrive 10 minutes early... and to have their hair combed already and nails clean (no polish!) But, We just booked the Crown Package... where they just do hair, makeup and nails. Though, I have read that if you get there early, they will try to seat you at the next available... We can't do that, bc we're the first appointment, but, for others... maybe it'll help! Others who have posted have had the pictures put on PhotoPass, so I'm hoping we can squeeze into pictures even though we didn't purchase the largest package-- like others have said they've done! i'm not sure which dresses are which but they said the "DELUXE" dresses are more-- when I was asking them about the prices on the phone! I would imagine the deluxe are the more fancy ones! AuNt MaYmE

Okay this may have been asked already, but what happens if a princess has quite short hair? Can they add extensions and then put it up in a classic princess bun or not?

So if I do the mid range package do they crowns come with it? Or would I have to buy them in advance. I am hoping to get an appointment for when we go at Christmas and that be their surprise just need to know what I need to look for in the mean time, if I need to look for anything at all.

I am sure this has been asked, but I saw in a post the child has to be 3. Is this true? One dd will be 6 and the other 2 1/2 when we go. I wanted to get the basic package for both but if the younger one can't do it I may have to scratch the whole idea.
Any one know if 3 is the earliest age?

I'll try to answer with what I know/read.
A FGIT just posted that the only deluxe dress they have right now is the Belle red dress.
Before others were, like the Ariel wedding dress, or at least I read it was, but I bought one last week and it was only $64.95 like all the other dresses.

Yes the age limit is 3. I think I read a few who got there children in who were maybe less than a motnh a way from 3, but no earlier. We booked our 3 YO last week and she was excited, but the ngot the flu while we were down there and when it came time for the appointment, she wasn't having any of it. So we didn't push it. Some kids just aren't even ready at 3.


Crowns come with the castle package, as you get the crown to go with the dress you pick, I believe. The bun hairstyle comes with a crown no matter which package you do. It's a small tiara. Yo ucan buy it to add to any other style yo upick though. We bought one at World of Disney. (actually 2, becuase DD lost her first one after a couple of days.) They also sell extension type ponytail things if you want to buy them, which we did, since DD wouldn't let them touch her.

One question on the extension. I am trying to figure out how BBB puts them in. It is on a think like a pony tail holder, but honestly to twist it, would realyy mess up the look of hte hair. I just put it around her ponytail, and it was very lose, and secured it in place with the tiara comb. Does BBB use pins to keep it in place or do they twist it?

Has anyone done the "Hanna Montana" at the BBB? My DD, 7 want it done when we go in Oct. She had the Pop Princess done in 06. Any picts or suggestions?

Okay this may have been asked already, but what happens if a princess has quite short hair? Can they add extensions and then put it up in a classic princess bun or not?

I have seen them do the classic princess on short hair and someone may have even posted a pic they pull up as much as they can and do the bun on top I have seen some princesses with some of their hair left down I guess the other option would be for them to gel all of it up. They don't do extensions. the extent of disney's extensions is the hair piece for the diva and pop hairstyle.

So if I do the mid range package do they crowns come with it? Or would I have to buy them in advance. I am hoping to get an appointment for when we go at Christmas and that be their surprise just need to know what I need to look for in the mean time, if I need to look for anything at all.

If you are talking about the rhinestone crown that comes w/ the fairytale princess hairstyle, for an extra 10 dollars you can add it to either the pop or diva hairstyle. You don't have to buy them in advance just let your fairygodmother in training know that you would like one and you will pay for it when you session is over. If you are wanting the different princess crowns those you can also buy at BBB just let the fairy godmother in training know that you want one and which princess so that she can get it for you. The cost will be a little more some where between 10 and 20 dollars.

I am curious about the Hannah Montana do also. If my 5yo knows that is available she would rather do that. I would rather her have the princess do. Wow, we are fighting already about her styles.

 

[jenseib]

I think someone posted Hanna Montana pictures a few pages back. It's a wig. I didn't care for it personally, mostly because it is extremely fake looking. But I'm sure lots of fans will love it.

Page 196 is a picture of what it looks like.

does anyone know what the price is on the red and black minnie dress at BBB? I just assumed that is was the same as the princess gowns, but I think I read somewhere that it was not. Also, has anyone seen it anywhere other than the DTD BBB? We will be making ressies for the MK location and would like to pick it up there or somewhere else in MK. Also, is it likely to still be available in Nov? How often do they change the dress styles?

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

In MK you can get it at the Emporium or at tinkerbell's treasures which is right behind the castle and next door to BBB.

I have sifted through most of the posts and am finding some of the information a bit confusing. I thought that Hair Extensions were included in the Castle Package. My DD has very little hair and I was under the impression that it was OK because the extensions were used. A few pages back, someone mentions no they do not use extensions. Can someone please clarify for me? Thank you!!

I think that poster meant no hair extensions like the ones you braid or clip i nthe hair, like professionals do. But they do have a hair extension that is like a ponytail. Not alot of hair, and it doesn not look real. Wel la little, depending on the hair color, but it'sfor fun.
I'm not sure how they attach it though. We bought one and I just used the tiara to hold in place.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

the fairytale princess hairstyle doesn't have extensions at all. the diva hairstyle is a ponytail w/ hair that is close to your hair color (my dds had a few strands of blue hair in it I don't know if that color is the same for all of them or not) they pull up the hair like a bun and place the ponytail of hair around that and then they bobby pin in down. I am not 100% sure about the pop hairstyle but i can only assume it is done similar to the way the diva is. The hair pieces don't depend on the package you get they depend on what hairstyle you choose.

Our Disney Store had the new Belle dress on sale 25% off!! So we got it now we are all set. Her Cinderella dress, which is a bit longer, will be worn to dinner at 1900 Park Fare, then the new Belle dress will be worn to BBB.

My oldest DD has done the BBB twice now but I never really payed much attention to how long it took. LOL She is again signed up for the Crown Package at the MK location BBB on 9/19 at 9:00 am. We then have breakfast reserved at CRT for 10:10 am.

Will we have enough time for her to be done up before we have to check in for CRT? Also, is that a good time for CRT? The CM, Cliff (so nice) said that the last seating was at 10:20 am although I thought I saw a later time listed on one of the Disney info sites.

I was looking at making her BBB appointment for more like 8:30-9:00 am but he wasn't sure if the busses would get us there in time. I know that there are early busses for breakfasts and things but wasn't sure how early they started. Thanks!

Does anyone have any pictures of teens getting a BBB makeover? I was thinking about doing it, but i don't wnat to be the only crazy teen there. Thanks!

I'd say you would be cutting it close with timing. As for making it earlier yes the busses start running at 7:15ish. If can make an 8:00a appt in MK you can make an 8:30 appt. You may need to enter park through ADR line and have Conf. Number handy but it can be done.

Trying to decide if we should do BBB this year. I see the prices have gone way up. Now I have two girls of age. DD4 has already asked to go again when she is 7. This is a surprise trip so she thinks we are not going again until she is 7. But I just hate to spend $100 for a hair do that I can do a better job on and $5 make up. I know it is about the experience but we just did it last year and am afraid the WOW! facter of the reveal will just not be there. $100 isn't a big deal financially to us but I am an extreme value hunter and this just makes me question the value.
Any other ideas for something special yet cheaper? Or should I just suck it up like dh suggested so gently?

Also do you still get the photopass session with the coach package and do they offer the session in the MK?

TIA
