Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

Did anyone notice if any of that fake hair comes in red? I hadn't thought about that 'til today. My DD is a redhead.

My daughter is a redhead and they had an extension that matched perfectly. I was astonished, actually. Here's a pic of her 'do. We even got remarks from a redheaded photopass CM that she hadn't seen any fake hair that matched like hers did. hope that helps!

My girls loved the BBB! They loved the special treatment. Here's a few pics from that morning and afternoon...I plan on buying the photopass cd too. The pics they took in the studio were amazing.

We brought DD5 dress from home, and brought DD9 a favorite skirt to wear to CRT that night. I couldn't find a Disney princess dress at home that would fit her or that she would wear, so we brought some dressy clothes so she'd have something fun to wear to dinner that night, too.

The hair lasted two days, but it could have lasted longer if they wanted it to. We even went to the pool that night - I told them don't go underwater or get it wet if you want to wear it tomorrow, and they stayed above the surface. The next morning I hit it with a little more hairspray and they were good to go.

They walked around WDW like royalty those days. DD9 would strike a pose at every opportunity and our little Cinderella LOVED the extra attention. Tigger bowed to her, bus drivers made a big deal about having a princess aboard. Even Jasmine made a fuss about her and told her that she would come up to the castle and visit her soon. Too cute.

I was worried about DD9 getting jealous cause she didn't have the princess dress, etc, but she was fine. She was glad to have more grown up clothes on, and she still got lots of attention from CM's even without the princess dress.

Hope all the info helps you all out!

When we were on our Disney cruise, that was my first time dressing my girls in princess gear. I bought a Cinderella and Belle dress for my girls. For the hair, they both have long, pretty straight hair. I put their hair in a high ponytail and wrapped it into a bun, then I clipped a curly hairpiece to it over the bun. I combed their bangs to the side, used a pretty tiara that just slides on and sprayed on some glitter hairspray. A little bit of make up later, and instant boutique look on the Disney Wonder. Everyone stopped to look at them, and were in awe of how professional they looked. It only took me about 10 minutes a piece with each girl. So now, when we go to Disney, we do the same thing in the hotel, before we go to MK. I know it's tons of fun, but I just can't spend all of the money at the BBBoutique. All of your photos have been really cute and I bet you will cherish them.

I'm a newbie! Hello to all!! We are taking our daughter to BBB when we go on our first trip this September. I just wanted to comment on a previous post about condition free hair. When I called for our appointment a few weeks ago, the operator stated that her hair must be condition free for 30 days prior. I took this to mean no lice or other form of this? But I would also agree not to put conditioner in her hair prior to the appointment as this would make the style hold longer.

Very excited for our first trip....I have gotten a lot of useful info from this board! We have purchased the cinderella dress from my dressuptrunk.com and will be doing the crown package at BBB followed by lunch at CRT. I can not wait to see DD4's face. Too much excitement!!!

Does this really mean no conditioner for 30 days???!!! My daughter's is a nightmare w/o conditioner. I could handle that day...maybe the day before too, but no way I could fight with her every morning for 30 days! Anyone else have any clarifications?

 

[Punky's Mama]

Sorry about the confusion....the "condition free for 30 days" would apply to the lice, etc... as stated by Disney

I just wouldn't use any conditioner the actual day of the appointment.

Hope that helps!

My daughter has seen these pics and wants mom to do her hair like the princesses. Can anyone describe how to do the bun? Maybe the mom that did the super job on her daughter's hair for her bday party??
thanks Diane

I had to go back to my iVillage board for directions, anyway here they are:

Anway, yes that is how I did the hair. I put her hair in a pony on top of her head, and put a small amount of gel on the pony and then put another pony holder close to the bottom of the pony. At the very end, I put one and folded her hair so that the ends were tucked under (if that makes sense?).

Then I folded the pony under half way and then again to the top. I used curved bobby pins to secure the pony to the top of her head. I didn't have fan it to much since her hair is all one length, it pretty much did it self.

Then I used some Paul Mitch freeze and shine and with my left hand made sure the fan part was all pretty and sprayed the heck out of it front, back and sides of the fan peice.

For the rest of the hair, I used some Paul Mitchell finishing pommade. Comes in a bottle. You put a little in your palm and rub your palms together to warm it up then gently rub on the hair going in an upward motion. Let that sit a minute, then spray with hair spray.

For her bangs I combed them to one side and use the same Paul Mitchell pommade and lightly sprayed them in place.

Make sure that you spray before the tiara or the tiara gets all gunked up and glued into the hair..LOL

Later when I take out, I take a small pair of scissors and cut the pony bands so I won't wreck her actual hair. Don't try brushing it out. I stuck her in the tub and rinsed it out and then scrubbed her hair and used my good conditioner.

As for the gloves I looked all over eBay and they were a rip off, so I tried my favorite costume shop: http://www.buycostumes.com/ProductD...86&PCatID=Search+Results&ccatid=disney gloves



Hope this helps!

EDITED to add: It is Paul Mitchells FOAMING pommade


Her party was this weekend, here are some of the pics: http://www.lynntabor.com/victoria/b-day-2007.htm

I didn't spray her bangs enough so they came down.

I have made an appointment for DD to do this on our June visit.She has no idea it is going to be a total surprise.Anyway the one concern I have is that she has short hair.Her hair is cut into a bob above her chin.I don't really like the diva look and I don't think DD will either.Do you think they can gel,spray and stretch it to some how get into a bun?

Hello! I'm planning our family's first Disney trip in October, and I just made reservations today for BBB for my dd. One thing they told me that I was kind of disappointed in is that only ONE adult can accompany each child into the salon. The lady taking my reservation said that there isn't enough room in the salon for more than one extra person. I'm so bummed out about this because my dh really would like to be there too to see our dd get her makeover. The lady did tell me that we could switch out, though. I guess that's better than nothing, but not at all what I had hoped for. For those of you who have already gone, what was your experience in this regard? Did they strictly enforce this rule? TIA for any insight. This board has been super helpful in planning our trip!

The night we went to CGF, there was another little girl with a short bob. I wish I took her pic..LOL

Anyway her hair had mini buns on the top of her head. It looked like the FGMIT pulled sections from the sides and top and made little buns somehow and then they put the tiara on and it looked really cute.

They weren't enforcing it last year, but I did see alot of people standing in the door way looking in.

Hope that helps!

Somewhat off topic, but do they sell the dresses in small sizes (i.e. infant)?? I would love to get a dress for new DD while we are there getting her big sisters hair done. How adorable would that be seeing a little one dressed as her big sister!!

I haven't noticed them lately in 2002 I did purchase a minnie costume in a 24mths I know in the disney outlet section they did have a tink and a pink princess dress. You could also check out ebay if you are looking for a particular princess. Best of Luck.
