Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[aimeeg]

I think I migh bring a dress and buy accessories. Does anyone know what kind they have and some of the prices?

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

The accesories fun anywhere from 10-20 dollars depending on what you are getting. You might want to check out disneyshopping.com in the outlet section they still have some costumes and accessories on sale from last halloween.

Do they have any other crowns you can choose from with the diva option? I was wondering if there were any pirate themed ones?

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

someone did post in the last five to ten pages that they got a pirate crown but I don't think they got it in the boutique you can purchase all of the things that they use in BBB out side in World of disney as well as many of the resorts.

I remember a few posts back that we discussed this and its validity. Just thought I'd pass on that I received my All Ears Weekly Newsletter today and it says

"-- The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will open a location in the Magic Kingdom in early July."

So maybe this is true?? I'm not sure how they know or any more than that, but I thought I'd pass it on.

Thanks Ksloane for the update. It really is exciting that they will be opening in the MK. Did they mention anything about the photo shoot that they do and where it might be. I hope its not far from the BBB location in MK. To be honest I just keep thinking about how easy it will be to get into the downtown disney location b/c everyone is gonna want to be at the MK location especially for party nights when I plan on being there.

Great thread.

Thanks Ksloane for the update. It really is exciting that they will be opening in the MK.

No problem. I was excited to see it somewhere else too. We're going for the first time in December and I guess I'll have to decide which one to go to.

Did they mention anything about the photo shoot that they do and where it might be.

Nope. It only had that one statement that I copied and pasted. If they send anything else though, I'll be sure to post it.

I read that the new BBB will be in the castle. I can not remember the name of the store in there but it is closing and that is where it will be. It will open in Septemeber but they will start taking reservations in June, I think.

I emailed All Ears asking for a little more information that the line quoted above that was in their newsletter. This is the response:

"The only information we have is that a BBBoutique will be opening sometime in the relatively near future. Disney has not announced an opening date yet and they are not taking reservations, so it's reasonable that reservations cast members might not be aware of it yet.

We'll report the opening date and when they will begin taking reservations as soon as we get official word from Disney."

I contacted my TA at DreamsUnlimited about this (Tracy, & she's wonderful!), and she confirmed with Disney that they will start taking reservations on Sunday for the new BBB. So, she'll be changing my reservation to the MK for the castle on our MNSSHP day. Yay!

I've already talked with CS06, but was wondering if anyone had an idea of where to look for girls sizes 8/10, or 10/12. I've got a dd7 but she wears sizes 10. Post 147 had the dress I'm looking for, CS06's dd had the same dress, but didn't need the size I did. My daughter is 54 1/2 inches tall, and weighs 73 lbs. Any suggestions, I've googled and did all the sites I could find, but still having trouble finding that particular dress. All the help I can get please.

 

[MommySiobhan]

So is it ok to bring your own dress and not purchase one while you are there?

Also wondering as far as the nails...do they just paint them? Are they stick on? Do they hold up? From some of the pics they look like they are long. I know dh wouldn't go for that. I'm just curious. I would love to take dd for her birthday treat.

 

[princssdisnygina]

This is a great thing! I have to tell you...I did it cause my cousin wouldnt do it without me, and I know I look ridiculous but for the kids...it is an amazing experience! I am excited for all of you that have appointments for your daughters!

What about E-bay?

Just to let you know - if you do not find the particular dress you are looking for, the dress selections are up to a girls 14 in some places I saw. Another thing you can do if you want something extra special is to buy a formal girl's style dress.


http://www.cottoncandydress.com/servlet/StoreFront is a website I used when I needed a petite formal for a wedding I was in. It's a children's dress shop and the prices are reasonable and the dresses are beautiful!

We went to the BBB last week! Here's my review and a bunch of photos:

We had reservations for the castle package at 9am on Wednesday. We arrived at 9:10. They handed Brynn her personalized menu, (which said "Princess Brynn" on the cover), handed us a beeper and told us it would be a few minutes.

The World of Disney Store wasn't open yet, so we could only look around the small section that the BBB is in, but that's where all of the princess dresses are, so it gave Brynn an opportunity to scope out her options. :lol:

I think we only had to wait about 10 minutes, which was time to make a potty trip (we wanted to make sure she didn't have to go mid-makeover and see herself in the bathroom) and look at the dresses.

Here's a good time to say that I had sort of been brainwashing Brynn in the weeks leading up to the trip. I didn't really care which Princess she picked, as long as she didn't pick Sleeping Beauty, we already have 4 or 5 pink play dresses, and I really wanted her to pick something different. :shuffle: Does that make me a bad mom? :heee: Anyway, when looking at them all on the walls, she kept oohing and ahhing over Sleeping Beauty, so I figured my fate was sealed.

When the beeper went off we walked up to the front and they asked her who her favorite princess was. I could have jumped for joy when she said Snow White (who just happens to be MY favorite princess). She normally wears a 3T and we got an extra small, which should fit her just fine for awhile still. We talked about getting a small so it would fit her for longer, but they said it would probablt be too big, and I think they were right. The shoes were a little long on her, so they gave us some foam to stuff with and that worked perfect, she wore the whole outfit until 11pm and never complained about the shoes or dress.

They put the dress, cape, shoes, hairband and wand in the changing room and when we came out we sat in Fairy Godmother-in-training Pennie's chair.

Brynn was covered with a cape and turned so she could not see herself in the mirror. Then she chose her fingernail polish and had her nails painted (she chose green, which is so out of character for her, but she was full of surprises that day). Then she got to select two colors of eyeshadow (browns, just like her mom :shuffle: ) and the rest of her make-up. They also put a charm on her face, which she wanted off as soon as the make-over was finished. I think it felt weird to her. :shrug:

Brynn chose the Disney Diva, which had hair extensions and even ended up a fairly close match to her hair color. I watched how Pennie did her hair, because I figured Brynn would want me to recreate it at some point, and in fact she asked me to redo it the next day. :lol: She has thin, short hair, but I think it would be much easier with longer hair. They also used enough hair gel to withstand a nuclear holocaust, but it washed out easily and she didn't have any hair fall, or have any fly aways all day long (and with the short length of her hair, this is an everyday problem for us).

Next they put on the BBB sash (which I took right off, because I didn't want it in the pictures or covered her supercool dress all day long, but I did keep it).

Then they had her close her eyes, make a wish, coated her in a layer of fairy dust and turned her around to see herself. She was very pleased. :lol: In fact, she stopped to look at herself periodically throughout the day.

I loved that they had a photopass photographer there who just held onto my card and took probably 20 pictures during the process. We purchased the CD online when we got home and since we knew we were going to do that we took every opportunity for photos. When all was said and done, we had 226 with some great candids playing the drums at AK, playing in the water at Typhoon Lagoon and with all of the characters. A great buy IMHO.

After we paid we headed off for her photo shoot, which was quick and great. I just wish I would have thought to lift the white part of her dress up first. In retrospect, I was really glad I took the sash off for this part. The pictures I got to have printed there turned out awesome (one's already framed in my office), and I would hate to have a giant sash in them. :shrug: It seemed like a lot of girls kept them on.

The best part of the whole experience was after she was done I said: "Hey Brynn, can I get a picture?" when I was informed by her: "Mommy, my name is NOT Brynn. My name is Snow White." and in fact, she would only respond to Snow White for the rest of the day. :lol: Quite astute for a 3 year old, if I may say so myself.

She got loads of attention at the park that day (we went to Magic Kingdom). All of the CM's as well as other guests referred to her as Princess Snow White and the CM's made a big deal out of her, bowing to her and calling her "Your Highness." Even the characters (Goofy, Mickey and Pluto) bowed to her. We waited in the Toon Town line to see the Princesses and I really hoped that Snow White would be back there. She was! I have these great photo pass pictures of Brynn with Snow White and Snow White kept calling her "Little Me". Later, during the parade people bowed to her (we were in the front row) and Snow White blew a special kiss to her. I thought she was going to explode with happiness.

All in all, it was quite possibly the best $200 I've ever spent. It made the day so magical for her, and I think she really thought she was a princess. I would, and will, do it again in a heartbeat.

Now some pictures of this. When I get the photopass in the mail I'll post some more, I wish I had taken some of her with Snow White on my camera, but I was too busy videotaping to remember my still camera.

ETA: I read that they would only let one person back with the girl or boy getting the makeover, but that wasn't the case when I was there. 4 of us went back with her and most of the other girls had more than one person with them. I was worried that we would have to switch out and wouldn't all get to enjoy her experience.

Ok then..

Getting her nails done: (Her hair doesn't usually look so unkept, but I didn't want to go through the trouble of doing it if they were just going to re-do it).:

Application of make-up:

Getting her hair ready for the extensions:

The pre-extension horns:

Work pulled me away there.. here's more BBB pictures:

Putting the horns in:

Putting the extensions in:

With the face shield while sprinking fairy dust:

Hair complete:

I didn't get a good picture of the reveal, but the photopass people did. I'll post it when the CD comes. I also didn't take any when they were doing the photo shoot, but I have those on the CD too.

Here's walking back to the car. Such a diva!

Riding on daddy's shoulders became far more complicated with such a volumous dress! I wish I would have caught it right before she pulled it up. Poor Ty couldn't see a thing, it went right over his head!:

And she has these two men wrapped right around her finger, but you'd never guess, would you?
