WELCOME MSFGIT to the thread!!!!!!!!

Another newbie here. I've read great part of this thread, and I'm interested in the BBB at MK, but I still have some questions here. Let me know if I got this right:

1)You make your appointment and show up with your girl ALREADY dressed up.

2)You have 3 different packages to choose from, and I will be choosing the coach package, with only hair and makeup.

3)Then you choose a hairstyle.
Questions here: Is the Diva the only style that uses an extension? Can I add a crown that I already have? Does the Fairytale style comes with a crown or do you pay that extra?

4)Then you can get pictures for the Photopass or choose a photo session. Here I'm kind of lost.
Questions:
*If I don't get the package that includes the photo session, how much will it be if I add it to the Coach package?
*If I choose the Photopass pictures, where do they take them? Can they take them without any obligation to buy them?
*I've read about going to the Rose Garden and to the Emporium store, but do you go and ask someone there to take the pictures or are there Photopass people around waiting there to do that?
*And I read about the props, but are this only for the photo session or can those be used for Photopass pictures too? And what if I decide to take my own pictures, can I use the props too or are there other places where I can take cute pictures too? I read something about a throne, but again didn't know if this was for anyone to use, for Photopass or for Photo sessions only.

After BBB we're going to CRT, and they take pictures there too, so I'm unsure if I should take the photo session, the photopass pictures, the CRT photo package, or just take my own pictures.

Wow, sorry but this was long.

The Pop Princess comes with a 'hair extension', but it's obviously different from the Diva's. It's spikey and has long, thin braids. The Fairytale Princess style comes with a tiara (miniature crown). It is included in the price.

To add the photo package onto any other package, I believe the cost is 29.95. There will be a photopass photographer at the Rose Garden ready to take pictures, no need to prearrange.

Hope this answers a few of your questions!

[Blaze12]

heyy sorry to be such a pain in the butt.....take yout ime answering this question.

*If i get bbb at MK and then leave the castle and i am already in the park, i got the castle package, am i going to have to then take it off too once i leave the castle and go explore the park?

* does BBB at MK have all the same sizes as DTD has?

Tipping is not mandatory!!! Dont not go because of this.

Sorry

I think it was just a knee jerk reaction on my part - if the budget is blown by the time we visit (at the end of our vacation) I can always downgrade the package. Can't let my princesses down

Us brits have a reputation for not tipping 'correctly' (not me I hasten to add) but it certainly bumps the budget up! I didn't want to feel mean if it is now expected as it is elsewhere in the service industry in the States.

Tipping is not something you have to do. We all feel lucky that you would even think to do something that sweet as to tip. We are not dependent on tips to make a living. Brits tend to be my bigest tipers for some reason so I dont know where you heard that from but PLEASE dont feel obligated to tip. I just LOVE to see that princesses face at the end of the makeover and to know I made her day.

You can add a crown to any hairstyle the cost for a tiara is 10.00. All pics by photopass are taken without obligation to buy.Pics taken at the rose garden and at the emporium are set up for you. the emporium has the photostudio and all you do is walk in and once they see you are from the BBB you are invited to take pics. Props are for the guests of the BBB only. You cant use there props to take your own pics. You can take pics with your own camera WHILE the photopass person takes pics of your princess though. The throne is in the BBB at MK and from what Ive been told anyone can use this prop for pics, not just photopass. Photopas is the card that you are given by the photopass photograher. once again pics are up to you. The photograper will take pics of you and anyone in your party at no cost to you. If you like the pics you see then it is up to you as to buy them or not. You also have the option to look at your pics online from home if you wish. You can use the same photopass card for your whole trip(including CRT). Its all up to you.

If you are an adult and you are buying a costume from BBB in MK and you want to explore the park in costume during regular bussiness hours then Yes you will be asked to take off the costume. Now if you are in the park for mickeys not so scary and you are madeover at the BBB in MK then NO you will not be asked to take off your costume. Bothe BBB in MK and DTD have the same sizes in costumes.

Are adults allowed to be in costume for MVMCP?
It would not be a Christmas theme, probably Cinderella.

That is a very classy answer , I can see why you are Disney material.

FGiT - I truly hope you are 'on duty' when I bring my Princesses into DTD Boutique

 

[quiltymom]

A bit off-topic (sorry!), but is the studio at the Emporium open to anyone? I'd love to get a family shot in costume during MNSSHP, but it will be a few hours after DD & I have had our "do's" at the castle.

Thanks...

For the older BBB users, how long does your hairstyle last? I see the little ones can go for several days, but I feel I experience more thrill rides and am wondering how long my "do" will last for.

This is open to those that have been older and visited BBB and even the FGITs and your personal knowledge of the LOD (Length Of Do).

My FTP style lasted about 48 hours before I took it down. This is in parks during May trip and NOv trip and no extra hair spray on hand. I rode Expedian Everest, SM, Splash mountain, BTMRR, Soarin Etc.

I am older and went to the BBB a few weeks ago. My appt. time was 3:15 on a Tuesday, and it stayed in until I took it out Thursday night. In between that time, I rode Splash Mountain, BTMRR, Space Mountain, EE, and Kali River Rapids with no problem at all--keeping in mind it was also 93 degrees with high September humidity everyday.

Actually, it held so well I probably could have left it up, but the hair starts to get kind of hard.

 

[pumpkinfish]

Thanks for the responses ladies! I am planning on taking it down Saturday (after I get it Thursday) because DH and I are going to visit DH's grandfather in Ocala and I don't want to have it in walking around the community

 

[pl'smama]

I just got my DH to agree to a trip to the world in January 2008!! I am a huge planner and very much into the details so I had our itinerary planned out way in advance so I could make some ADRs, which included the BBB!!! I am just thrilled he is happy to go again to.

I have made a 9am appt for the DTD BBB for Tuesday, January 15th!! I have tentatively booked the Castle package for my DD 4.5. She will be turning five shortly thereafter so this will be a huge birthday surprise for her!! I am contemplating booking an appt for myself, but I really don't want to miss out on her experience. Any thoughts on this??

Have to say I just love this thread.

Suz

 

[pl'smama]

I know that you work at DTD. Do you know if you will be there on Tuesday January 15th for 9am? I guess it is too far in advance for your schedules to be posted, huh? Well, I sincerely hope you are there FGITraining. I would love to meet you. I will have my LGMH somewhere on my person!!

I have booked the Castle package for my DD, but our appointment is for 9am when the store opens. Will there be time for her to "shop" to choose her costume?

Now, after following this thread from it's inception I should know these answers by now, but I need to double check please? If we stick with the Castle package my DD will get the hair, makeup and nails, plus costume, tiara and any accessories she chooses. The cost will only include what ever items she adds; for example if we don't want the shoes then the cost is a bit less, correct?

And during the whole process a Photopass Photographer will be taking pictures in the BBB. Then we can head to the studio for the posed pictures, which will be added to our photopass. I think this is all correct. If I want to choose any borders it is suggested that I pre purchase the Photopass CD and make my selections from home, correct?

Now, if we decide to down grade the package to the middle one and bring our own costume, we still get to use the props at the photo studio for posed pictures, right?

If my DD wears her own costume, but we purchase a wand or tirara, can these be added to her photos?

Sorry for the run on post here. It is so hard to contain my excitement!! TIA for all of your help everyone.
