Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[HappyStamper]

I feel like such a dork. I'll be almost 22 when we go for our trip in August and I REALLY want to get my hair done, too! Although I can't decide on which style because being a person of.. roundness I'm not quite sure the tight bun will look great on me. But I want the tiara and the mickey barette!

I showed my mom pictures and before I even said I wanted to do it she was like "OMG, YOU HAVE TO DO IT!".

The last two trips I got my hair braided in the front at the salon at the GF, then ate at 1900 Park Fare. I believe it was $35 or $45 to get that done too. And I don't want the braids again but I do want something! So I guess I'll make an appointment.

Here is a picture of the front of my hair braided if anyone is curious about that for their older girls.

FYI- My DD just got her hair done during our spring break visit and got a tiara with the "diva" hairstyle. She just told them that she wanted that style with a tiara (handing them the skull and crossbones tiara )and they did it. You can buy additional hair accessories including the Mickey head barrette in the World of Disney store just outside of the boutique.

Can someone clarify for me regarding nails? I swore I read in here that they'll paint nails even for the coach package, but then someone elsewhere said it's only at the crown+ level (choice of painted nails or fake nails).

My daughter got her nails painted and got the bottle of polish with the $35 package. She didn't get the press-on nails but didn't want them anyway. I thought the polish was a mistake, though. The FGMIT started to open the polish but I told her that we didn't have that package so she put it back. Then I told DD that if she wanted her nails done we could add it so she got them painted. I thought I would be charged $45 but was only charged $35 so I don't know for sure if the polish was supposed to be included or if they forgot to charge us for it.

And here are a few photos. (I took these. We haven't recieved our PhotoPass CD, yet.)

If I may inquire, I will be bringing my 4 yo twins to BBB late November, In all likelyhood, I will bring newly purchased princess costumes from home( will be greatly reduced following Halloween). What have you had the children wear underneath the costume @ this time of year? We also will have ADR @ 1900 Park Faire for dinner. Plan is to change after that for MVMCP that eve ( festive christmas wear ) seems costume vs. rides etc. all evening just won't work...

I'd like to know about this as well, I worry about the hair falling down on the rides.

In december when we were there it was like 90 degrees outside so I didn't put anything on under dd's costumes I just had it in our bag until she was ready to change.

Can someone clarify for me regarding nails? I swore I read in here that they'll paint nails even for the coach package, but then someone elsewhere said it's only at the crown+ level (choice of painted nails or fake nails).

When dd did the 35 dollar package I believe they painted her nails as well but I don't remember for sure.

Is this silly? Ever since last year when I first heard of the BBB, I a (26 yr old) wanted to do it. Would this be the silliest thing ever for a going to be 27 yr old mom to do with her 3 1/2 yr old son? I know, I know, he's not a girl... But he likes his face painted for costumes...

I think we'd get really good pics out of it...

I say go for it. If it makes you feel better I am currently 26 I will be 27 the weekend after our trip to disney and I have me and dd6 booked to do BBB and we will all most likely get our face painted.

OK...this is our first trip...we are leaving this Friday night and will arrive for a week's stay on Sunday. I have the middle package booked at BBB for DD3 (4 end of June). I am taking her Cinderella so she can put it on that morning before the appt. Then I want her to change back into it (if she ever takes it off) for dinner at the castle that evening. All your pics are amazing and make me cry. I am a sappy sappy mommy who cries at EVERYTHING! The first time we went to Sesame street live I cried..just watching her innocence take everything in gets to me. I am thinking a box to a box and a half at this makeover. They are going to laugh at me!! I plan to just be in tears for the week as it is...either from joy or fear! (I am not a big rider!) Thanks for sharing everyone!!

WooHoo! We just got our reservation (me & DD) for 1:00 the day we go to MNSSHP! This will be so much fun! I'll also have to watch closely how they will put DD's waist-length hair into a bun.

I'll be sure to post photos after we get back!

It isn't silly at all! My friend and I are going to do it (well, it is a surprise for her - shh!!) and we don't even have children!!

Big princesses can be prettied up, too.

Question. . .I've been hearing horror stories about how horrible the hairspray is and how it ruins the hair the rest of the trip. My DD has super thick ultra curly hair and it is hard enough to wash and get a brush through it. Can you ask them to go easy on the hairspray?? She would want the hairstyle with the crown, can they accomplish that without all of the spray??

I have a few questions. I want to take DD7 to get the $45 package after our AK day and before dinner at 1900 park fare. What would be the fastest way to BBB from AK? We will have a car but we usually just park and use DT the whole stay. I guess I could make DH drop me and DD off at DTD and just bus back after we are done. DH can also take DS back with him . Any other suggestions. Also if we decide not to book BBB where can we get the Mickey hair pins? Does BBB have Tinkerbell as and option for the full package because we could also go before MNSSHP and DD is being Tink? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can ask them to go easy on the hair spray if you would like. Also just make sure you have conditioner to put in her hair afterwards and if they spray alot just let her get in the tub and soak her hair for a little bit then wash it.

I am not really sure on the transportation but yes you can get tink.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I am trying to decide on the best time to do BBB, I would LOVE any suggestions please!!!!

We are going to AK on Friday. MNSSHP is that night.

We would need to go back to POP to get our costumes for the night. Can we go from AK to POP and wear our costumes to BBB, or is that a no-no because I am an adult in a costume outside of MK on a MNSSHP night?

So...
Option A

AK in the morning... go to POP and get our costumes on.... go to BBB.... go to MK.

OR

AK in the morning... go to BBB and get beautified... go to POP and get our costumes on... go to MK for MNSSHP.

I know this will probably not workout, but we are planning to do the My Disney Girl Princess Tea Party which begins at 10:30 at the Grand Floridian. Is it possible (has anyone ever done this) to get the coach package as soon as BBB opens and make it to the tea party? We will have our own car there for transportation.

TIA,
Melanie

 

[aimeeg]

Has anyone done the deluxe package? I am thinking about upgrading. Should I spring for it or bring the dress andy buy some accessories at BBB? I know the 45 package is more than enough but DD might really love the deluxe!

I am so conflicted!

IMHO I would go w/ option 3 just so I would not feel rushed trying to get everything but if you think that it will be easier for you to get ready and then head on over to BBB before MNSSHP do that.

It is possible but I would call to make sure you can get an appointment for 9am or be there super early like 8.15-3am if you are going to be a walk in. That way you will be there before most people who have appointments.

If you want to buy her a costume in disney or plan on buying her a costume while there definitely do the castle pack it turns into a one stop shop. We have done both packages and my dd was happy either way and the only reason we did the castle pack in aug was b/c we planned on going to BBB and my mom was buying dd a new costume for that trip which was Wedding Cinderella. Deluxe costumes like this one cost a little more than the 175.

I don't think it was so much the hairspray, but my girls had a ton of hair gel. It was just goopy, but it did help keep their little fine fly-aways pulled back. It looked kind of silly when the goop dried because it looked like dried glue and got sort of flaky. I didn't think it was diffucult to get out of their hair...all of the pixie dust did take a while though! Don't worry about it...the FGMIT will do want you want them to do! I'm sure they've seen it all!

 

[meeskamouska]

Try www.zappos.com they have beautiful dressy sandals. I get my DD's there for her "princess" dresses. Much more comfy than the plastic shoes that go with the costumes!

Old Navy has clear jellies that we are calling glass slippers!!!

 

[Ms_Butterfly]

Ooh, good idea to call them that!

I just got myself a pair of sandals (designer, not Old Navy) that are clear Jellies (boy do they bring back memories!!) - I think I will call them glass slippers, too! (At the price they were, though, I'm not going to leave one behind, no matter how cute the guy is!!!! )

I read about this and had no intentions of doing it. After this thread, I have to book it for my almost 5 year old in Nov. I will ask my almost 11 year old if she wants to do it, too (although, she thinks she's so cool, she might rather have her hair braided).

Anyway, I do have a question and forgive me if it was answered in the middle pages because I did not read every single post.

Is there someplace I can see pictures of all the different hair styles available? Do the tiaras come with the $35 price or are they extra? TIA

Someone did post the brochure for BBB that shows the hair styles but pretty much from just looking at the picks on the thread what you see is what you get. The little tiara that comes w/ the fairytale princess is included in the 35 dollar price as well as the mickey head barette that they put in the back of the hair.

The fairytale princess is the classic bun style. The Pop Princess is the multi-colored ponytail that is add to the hair. The Diva Princess is the ponytail that matches the hair the most.

I will look for our brouchure and try to post it at the front but I think the one that is posted is around page 12
