Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[graygables]

I am so disapointed
I just try to book BBB for our trip in August and the CM won't book my youngest daughter cause she won't be three at the time yet. She will be almost three but that was not good enough. She told me they can do it for some legal reason and cause the younger than 3 can handle it.
What different will 2 months make in her handling it or not. I do her hair everyday and she loves to do make up and I know if she sees her sister getting all princess up she will want to do it too. So, I can't do it for either her....

I'm sorry you are disappointed. They had to have a minimum age and 3 is it. MOST under 3 year olds cannot handle the kind of pulling they do and the product they put in the hair to make it stone-stiff and hold for days on end. They have children come back after a few hours to have it all taken out or the parents wind up going back to the resort and washing it all out themselves. It is a long time of having to sit pretty still in order to have the hair/makeup done.

Here's my recommendation: have big sis go to BBB and get done up. While she's in there, you take the little one to the area right by the entrance to BBB and let her choose some of the things they use in the BBB styles, then go back to your resort (or around the corner to the ladies' room at World of Disney...it's all in the Princess Room) and do her hair up with the bling she's picked out. It's not quite the same, but she'll still have fun and look adorable.

Here are my dd's pictures from the BBB May 25th. I made her a princess dress for her to wear since we were not going in the parks that day. She really liked it although she wasn't too keen on the photographer coming around and taking her pictures, sometimes she is not big on pictures and I think she only wanted me to take the pictures. I forgot to tell her that they come around and do that. So you might want to make sure that your child knows that someone else will also be taking pictures.

Is that Cinderella statue gone now or where is it located? I was there last week and didn't see it.

Does anyone have any info on the BBB inside the Castle in terms of size, set up and any differences with the current BBB in DDD?

We just went to BBB in DDD in May 07 and are going again in late Sept.07. I have booked BBB in DDD once again as it works into our schedule better than being in MK that day. However, I don't want to kick myself if the Castle BBB ends up being a lot nicer than the DDD.

Any info/thoughts?

Reservations Available for Second Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Walt Disney World Resort

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Walt Disney World guests can now make reservations for their little ones to be magically transformed into princesses and princes at a second Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, which opens in September.

Appropriately located inside Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, the second Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Walt Disney World Resort will feature similar makeovers to those offered at the initial location at Downtown Disney Marketplace. The only differences are in the surroundings.

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom features a magical garden setting based on the scene in Disney's "Cinderella" where Cinderella's rags are turned into a glittering ball gown by the Fairy Godmother. Fairy Godmothers-in-Training (trained by The Fairy Godmother herself) run the shop and a Magical Mirror spotlights each princess at the end of her magical metamorphosis.

Aspiring princesses can choose from three makeover packages. All include hairstyle and shimmering makeup. Available options include nails, imaging packages and princess costume (gown, crown, wand and shoes). Within each makeover package, guests can choose from three different hairstyles: Disney Diva, Pop Princess or Fairytale Princess. Princesses must be at least three years old to participate.

The boutique also offers a service for boys called Cool Dudes that includes colorful hair gel and confetti.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom will transform space which is currently The King's Gallery shop.

For more information about both Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique locations or to make reservations, call 407/WDW-STYLE.

When we were in WDW in 2006, I don't think the BBB had opened yet (or I just didn't know about it.) Anyway, we took our DS for a haircut at the barber shop in the MK and it was lots of fun. My DD was 4 at the time and was letting her hair grow out. The CM offered her a haircut, too and she politely declined tellinher that she wants long hair. The CM offered to just style it. It was so cute! DD was wearing a Minnie dress that day and the CM put her hair into 2 little pigtails with lots of glitter and pixie dust. The best part was that the updo was only $5 and we had a very happy little girl!

The atmosphere is not the same, but the end result could be. I really do suggest checking into it and I hope your princesses have fun in WDW!

It is in front of the World of Disney store. I believe it is the side of the store where all the princess outfit are. Hope that helps!

Took my DD's picture next to that statue when we were there last week. It's by the World of Disney entrance that's closest to the Lego store....the entrance where when you go into the store and head straight to the back to get to the BBB.

Can you take her to the barber shop for some of her own "bling"? That way they could each have something special that is thier own? I've never been in the barbershop, so I don't know thier policies.

I made my DD almost the exact same dress. She's 8 and a bit too old for the dress-up clothes, so this was our compromise. I didn't tell her she was going to BBB until we got there, and she was a bit overwhelmed, but had a great time. This was April 29.

 

[aimeeg]

She looks lovely!!!!

We have those shoes in brown too! They are so cute!!!!!

(My DD toes come exactly where your DD toes come!)

What a beautiful little girl!! I love the dress!! I wish I could sew! My step daughter is 8 and is dressing up as Belle for the Pirate and Princess Party, but if we didn't have the party to go to I know that she wouldn't be as excited about dressing up. I'm sad that she's getting "too old" for the little girlie stuff. Gosh dang they up too fast...makes me feel old!

thanks for sharing the picture!!

Just a quick question after reading through another thread on tipping.. do you leave tips at BBB? If so, what do you think is a fair tip amount for each of the packages?

Nope, tips are not allowed and they can get fired for taking one.

 

[aimeeg]

Does anyone have an idea of a tip that in not money? Something we can do ahead of time to show our appreciation to the FGMIT?

 

[Princess Stitch]

Nope, tips are not allowed and they can get fired for taking one.

OK, thanks for letting me know! I hadn't heard anyone mention it one way or another and just wanted to know either way so I could plan ahead!

P.S. Just booked my appt for Sept 14.. the nice CM on the phone asked "and how many children will this be for?" at which point I had to inform her that it was for me Then she asked if I was an adult LOL... yup again on that one! I wonder if all the little kids will be giving me funny looks when I'm in there.....

I posted this in another thread but . . . here you go.

Here is the dress DD3 is wearing on the airplane. We have not decided on accessories yet.

This is the dress she is wearing for Chef Mickey’s. DD calls it her Minnie Mouse dress.

These are the dresses the girls are wearing to CRT.

This is what DD is wearing for the Family Magic Tour. She has no idea what we are doing. She just thinks she gets to dress like Tink!

Finally here is what the girls are wearing to the Storytime Breakfast.

DD is doing Belle at the BBB.
