Hello! This is my first post. We have a reservation in the Magic Kingdom on October 6th at 8:10 where the park doesnt open until 9am. We are staying at the Grand Floridian, since MK is a two minute ride, we will be able to get there on time..right? When does the monorail begin operation? Also, we are a family of 5 and will the whole family be able to get into MK early and just wait outside of the boutique? We have the castle package..one more question: how long does the castle package take?
Thanks!

Hi,



I believe the monorail starts running at 7am you will make it on time from GF and everyone will be able to enter the MK at the same time. I will only take about 45 mins which is the same amount of time as the crown package. Have ya'll decided on the princess that you want yet.

Okay...with all this talk about booking BBB before park hours it's got me thinking of booking at MK instead of DTD. Does anyone know how early they start booking on days they have Early EMH at MK??? I think the park will open at 8am instead of 9am. Is it possible to get reservations for BBB even before 8am on those days???

Thanks so much for your quick reply! This is a great thread! I think that she wants to dress up as Belle. Is that a good choice? She will be six and I just hope that it will be comfortable all day. If it is not Belle, she will probably choose Tink. Any other suggestions? I just don't want her to complain of the dress being too itchy!

Hi,
We have a reservation in MK for 10/6 at 8:10. I love WDW and am almost 17...the appointment is for my little sister who will be 6. I was planning to take her in that morning on the monorail with my mom, dad and other sister sleeping in a bit (it will be our first full day) and they would meet us a bit later. Will they have any problem having me escort her into the room? I would love to share that special time with her. I know that they said for one adult to be with the princess, but I just want to be sure that there is not a specific age you must be over. Can you charge this to the room, or do you need to bring the exact card that you held the reservation with? I would bring the card, but it's under my dads name...he wouldn't have a problem with me bringing it but I don't know if the cast members need him there since his name is on the card...
Thanks!

Quick question....
we are between Belle and Tinkerbell for our princess to choose from the BBB. What would be the best choice? Does anyone have pics of either?
THANKS!

I don't know about the card thing I have not charged anything to my room. On the second page I believe someone has a pic of their dd in the tink dress and someone else has another pic w/ their dd in the belle dress. To be honest I think that no matter what dress you pick they will complain that they itch. You and your mom shouldn't have any trouble going into BBB w/ your little sister both times that I took my dd I my mom and my MIL were able to go in w/ us and there were plenty on moms and dads in there as well.

I know you can still get pictures,but where do they take them?Do they take the pictures there at the shop or is there another location?I have seen photos with the girls posing on a chair ect.

First, it is "etc.", not "ect." - it stands for "et cetera".

The place to get the photos done is not in the BBB shop, but a short walk from it. If you look on the map of DTD, you'll see the customer relations center marked out. It is in there. There's a sign outside the door (one of those low signs on a ground stand) with the BBB logo on it.

The white chaise and white stool are used for the photos taken there.

You also get photos taken during the BBB experience by a PhotoPass photographer who wanders around the room. This includes the photos taken as they turn the princess around to see her hair for the first time (or, I s'posed, the prince with the Cool Dude style).

Also it seems like allot to buy the photo pass cd (100.00) .But is it worth it if you are going to want multiple photos?Does this mean I can purchase the cd and make as many copies as we want?Also how do we purchase the cd do we tell them when we get to BBB?Also will all of our pictures from our trip there be on the cd as well?

The CD is $125. It is worth it for the BBB photos, as they are more than just your typical vacation photo. All of the PhotoPass photos from your trip are put on the CD. When you make edits online (add borders and crop photos), those photos are also put on the CD (you get both the original ones and the edited ones, as the edited ones are saved as different files). This means, even if you only have 99 photos, you could end up with 1,310 images if you make enough edits. There are four border choices per photo, the borders depending on where the photo was taken (i.e. the BBB photos have the option of the BBB logo as a border).

The BBB has nothing to do with the purchase of the CD. You should buy your CD online when you get home so you can add the borders (which is time-consuming, but worth it).

From the CD, you can use the images as much as you want for personal use (in other words, you cannot make money from anything the photos are on - you can give grandma a sweatshirt with the photo on it for Christmas, but you cannot sell her one, even to recoup the cost of the garment and ink). This means you can copy the CD, print the photos, etc.

Can you charge this to the room, or do you need to bring the exact card that you held the reservation with?

Yes, as long as your room key has charging privileges on it, you can pay for BBB with it. You do not need the card you held the reservation with; that is only used if you don't show up or if you cancel less than 24 hours before the appointment - then they charge you a $10 per appointment no-show fee.

Ok...Couple questions.

1) I just read on another thread that AAA members get a 10% Discount at BBB? Is this true??? I know it's not much, but we there are 3 of us so it would be helpful (and probably just the nudge I need to splurge for my daughter and let her do dress and all )

2) Do they have a BBB trading pin? Check out the picture below (on the counter). That's why I ask.

If anyone's interested and hasn't checked them out, there's some neat photos here:

I really need to make sure my niece's get this done, even if I have to pay for it for them! They would love it.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

I just wanted to let everyone know that the white and pink sequined(sp?) shoes at target are on clearance at my store you may want to check your store if you are interested in getting some.

Okay, I have looked through the threads but want a couple opinions. I have two jr. bridesmaids in my wedding and am thinking this will be a great gift (our wedding isn't until 5pm so am thinking of sending them that morning, hair will be done and then they can just change???). The girls are both 9. What package would you buy them? Is it cheaper to buy a dress and then go, or just do the whole package? I really want the pictures photopassed (for me) but would like them to have something to take home. Money isn't the object really... WWYD? I want suggestions from people who've done it before. Do you think 9 is an appropriate age, or is it for younger ones?

Just a quick question about the cool dude - we are going to the MK location in November so things might change between now and then but just in case they don't could someone answer this question?

Can a girl get the "cool dude"? My youngest (who will have just turned 3 when we go) is a bit of a tomboy and we are going with 1 boy and 4 other girls (6 kids total). She is young enough that it won't matter to her what people might say about it being "for a boy" and I don't want to take her to the Barber Shop because we are going to BBB for everyone else including my son. Just curious as I also think she might sit better for the "cool dude" as opposed to the longer, princess thing.

Like I said, things might change in the next 5 months, but right now she has more of a "cool dude" attitude than a "princess one", if you know what I mean?

I have a little girl like that. She is just more comfortable playing in the dirt and chasing frogs, but greygables (her DD is in the college program at WDW at the BBB in DTD) told me that they have a pirate diva style and that you can purchase a tiara with a pirate theme. My DD is interested in that, actually excited about it. Maybe that would be an option for her.

Great - that sounds adorable! Are there any pictures of it available?

Unfortunately I haven't seen any yet, but, she said it had hair ribbons or extentions with black and red with white stripes. The tiara is just like the princess one, but it has the pirate skull and bones on it with rhinestones.

Can you believe that i call to add my sister in law (27) to my ressies on Sept 3rd, and the very rude CM said that she couldn't because this was just for children??????

I guess we here at the forums KNOW way much than some CM's about Disney services!!!

So i called again and reserved with no problem with someone else that knew "a little bit more" than the initial CM i had talked to, at least this one was nice. But when i asked about the pirate princess she didn't have a clue. I know i saw a pic of the skull tiara somewhere but i cant recall well. it is a 10.00 extra if u want the skull one. I remember reading this wherever i saw that pic. If i find it i will post it. But it is VERY cute!

About dresses i have purchased most of them already at the Disney store or ebay. Pretty good deals if you make a little research, because at the parks they start at 60.00 a piece. I will resell mine when i get back from our trip, so i will let you all kow about them.

Disney store has a great sale going on now, i got 3 PJ pals, a bathing suit and 2 tshirts for less than 50.00!

I would love to know any more detail about this - is it as extensive as the princesses (i.e. is it more in line with the amount of time and the hairstyle of the girls, or is it quick and less fuss like the "cool dude"). In addition to her being a bit of a tomboy, she will have the least attention span of all of our 6 kids doing it. She will probably be just as happy to look like her brother as she would to look like her sister or her cousins. Especially if it didn't take as long to do it. In fact the other weekend we were at a local festival where they had a free pirate bandana and face painting and instead of a flower or a rainbow painted on her cheek like her sister, she asked for the pirate moustache and goatee like her brother - very funny!

The pirate princess sounds great though - I just wonder - it sounds like it will be more in line with the other "girl" do's in regards to time and effort.

My dd is not 9 yet so I don't know what to say about that but an option you might want to consider is taking them to get their hair done and while they are there change into the dress they will be wearing during your wedding and do the photopass thing then. The only time I recommend doing the castle package is when you plan on purchasing everything that is in the package and at that age they might not want all of those things. I would talk to the girls moms to get a feel for if they are into the princesses and dressing up while there.
