Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

I LOVE the dress!!! How long did she end up wearing it? DId the sleeves bother her??? If you don't mind, how much did it cost??

She wore the dress from the time we were done (about 11) until about 5 when we went back to our hotel because it started raining. Believe it or not, the sleeves did not seem to bother her at all, even though it was pretty hot out. We did the castle package, and the total for everything was about $220. I think the price tag on the dress was $90. I wish they would have had a size small, but they were out, so we ended up getting an xs. It fits her perfectly, but probably won't next year, and I think the small would have. She tried the medium, but it was way too big and dragged on the ground (even with FGIT's attempt to make rosettes in the back to "alter" it).

As for the glass slippers...I think you can purchase everything separately in the store. I'm almost sure I saw all the different shoes hanging on the walls next to the dresses and other accessories.

Thank you all for the compliments. Like I said before, we really had a good time. I really wanted to get a ressie for a princess meal sometime that day, but everything was booked...but it was still a magical experience. Everywhere we went, dd got special attention from the cm's, and she ate it up!

Ok, so how do they handle that if you have 2 DDs having appointments at the same time?

Your FGIT will wait to turn her around until the photographer gets there. They signal him/her over, and then turn them around in the mirror for the reveal. The photographer was walking around the whole time. They took one pic, put it on our photopass, and then came back when our FGIT showed dd herself in the mirror. After that, they'll send you to the place where they take the other photos (it is not in the "princess room"), and your dds will each take her pics separately.

You would think they would have a way to "deliver" missing sizes from one of the other stores if you needed it. In this case, they didn't miss out on the sale. I love the Wedding Dress. I know this is what Kirsta will want, she's asked me for a few years.

Unfortunately they don't always have them all in stock, at all. DD5 had her mind set on the pink Sleeping Beauty dress and really didn't want anything else. I couldn't find it in her size (small) anywhere so I asked at the information desk in the World of Disney in DTD and they told me they didn't have it anywhere, not even at the warehouse and that it probably wouldn't be back until at the end of the month (this was 2 days ago). I ended up buying her the dress in a size medium (7-8). It is too big but doesn't drag on the floor. I pinned it together in the back with a couple of stitches but the sleeves are too long and too wide. She definately will be able to use it for a couple of years. She loves it and that's really all that counts.

Has anyone asked about BBB with a pirate theme? (Sorry - I only read til page 21, then I had to skip to the end - it was too long!!)

Anywho - DD5 is not the traditional princess type. Has BBB incorporated anything for pirates or pirate-princesses?

I don't remember seeing anything at BBB, but they do have pirate princess mickey mouse ears at all the shops that sell ears...very cute!

there is a little tiara that is pirate that I'm sure they could put on instead of the princess-y one, you could certainly ask!

Here are a couple of my daughter.

Also, I would not have known about the pictures afterwards if not for the boards here. No one at the BBB mentioned this.

My DD7 is sooooooo excited about trying to get hers done with the pirate tiara!!!!

 

[trueblue]

Jodi ~ those are great! Love that red hair...and the outfit.

 

[dreamn_Disney]

O.k. dd is 16 will she feel really out of place doing this? We are having a special lunch at CRT and I think it would look so nice for the pics if her and ds had something done here first.

here's what it looks like...it's the same thing that's in Jodi's DD's hair, but pirate, so I would think they could do it. I will as my DD who is a Fairy Godmother in Training if they can for sure!

I called for dining yesterday and at the end when they try to "sell" you on other things she asked if I wanted BBB for my Child. I said HE is a BOY. She said they have a package for boys for $10. I asked her what it was. She told me they gel their hair and give them (I forgot what it was, something like a wand or something but for boys). I told her no thanks, just cant see him doing that and paying ten bucks for a little gel. I told her I will talke him to get his hair cut in MK like he did last year which was great (they also did little girls hair in styles).

I wanted to know if anyone has let their boy do that and if you had any pic.

Here's a link to the news release (and a photo). http://www.wdwnews.com/ViewImage.aspx?ImageID=104869 It's basically gelled up hair with fun stuff sprinkled in and a hidden Mickey on the back. I'm not sure if they got a wand thing, but I'll ask (ETA: they do NOT get a wand or anything, just the hair). I know DD did a Cool Dude today (she likes them, they're fun!). Essentially it's what they get minus the haircut at the Main Street Barber Shop.

here's another photo I found...

Just talked to DD...THEY HAVE PIRATE HAIR for the Diva style!!! She said it's black with white streaks and red Mickeys, but you have to ASK for it. The tiara is an extra $10 with the Diva style (b/c there is no crown w/ the Diva package), but it's really cute...I'd skip the nails and do the tiara.

Ok, so how do they handle that if you have 2 DDs having appointments at the same time?

It isn't one photographer per person getting done up, but one photographer for all of BBB. So, the photographer goes from person to person snapping photos during the process and then each person is turned around at their own time so the photographer can get it on film. All these photos are put onto your PhotoPass card.

When my friend and I did it, we got several shots taken during the process - I had six and my friend had four - and then three photos each of our reactions when they spun us around (my friend's reaction photos were really neat 'cause they read like a story where in the first one she's shocked, the second she's awed, and the third she's grinning ear-to-ear with joy). The photographer also took one photo each of us looking at her after the reveal and two photos of my friend and I together after we were both finished.

It is such a great thing that they take pix during the process 'cause they are neat to look at.

Yeah, nobody mentioned it to us, either. I never would've known if I hadn't read about it on this board and another one. 'Course, I also never would've known about BBB or that adults can do it, too, without the boards, so it just goes to show that research is a very good thing!

No, she won't! Well, of course it depends on the person how they feel, LOL, but she shouldn't feel out of place, as adults do BBB, too! My friend and I did, as have others here on the board (there's even a pic or two somewhere in this thread). You can even go for it, too!

And, yes, the hairdos look really great for pix! Make sure they're wearing something nicer than a regular T-shirt, though, to make the pix look really good.

Thank you for the info, it looks really cool! I was not able to view the second link though . I dont think I will take my DS there however, Dont think it will mean as much to him as it would to the little princesses. I may just ask them to put a little gel and such in his hair at the main street barber shop.

I would love to do BBB for myself though, just not sure I have the guts!
