Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[CampbellScot]

Straight from DTD would be your best bet to make it ontime, esp with the photo shoot. They say 45 minutes, BUT, if they've taken any walk-ins, your appointment may not start right ontime, esp in the afternoon. Think: doctor's office. Any chance of bumping dinner back at this point? If not, I'd suggest using a taxi.

Thanks. A taxi is a good idea...which leads me to the next question...can you call a taxi or get taxi company info from guest services at DTD? I'm sure you can...We have our ADR @ 5:30 and the Pirate and Princess Party starts at 7...so if we had a taxi come get us @5 we'd make it to the Contemporary on time for our ADR right?

I'm struggling with the fact that I know my step kids would love to hop right into the pool after we arrive. But it's going to be rush rush to get from the Airport, to check in to DTD to make our BBB reservation and then into a taxi for our ADR. I just think my step daughter would love the whole experience so much...but I can't decide if she'd love it more than she'd love swimming. Both kids are such little puddle ducks! They'd stay in a pool all day every day if we let them!

thanks everyone for your unending knowledge!!!

I have reseverations for my youngest dd on our last night, July 19. She will be turning 8 during our trip so I booked the castle plan since it is her birthday. She wants to show family and friends at home her hair so that is why I booked it for the night before we leave. I have been reading most of the postings and have a question. I don't remember the cm telling me that we needed to bring our dd's hairbrush or comb with us to her appointment. I have read here that others were told to bring this with them to their appointment. Does anyone know if I need to have her brush or comb to her appointment?

yup, you need to bring a brush or a comb with you. That is what I was told when I booked the appt. for my step-daughter. Have fun!!

I was told this same thing when I booked it for my DN , the CM told me again when she gave me the conf. #. Have fun !

I brought both a comb and a brush, and they used both. If I were to do it again, I'd still bring both.

My DD almost-4 sat through the whole thing with a smile on her face. She went around the whole day with her hair up, and never said a word or looked uncomfortable. The moment we got in the car, she asked to have her hair taken down, because she was being both poked and pulled by it, and it hurt. I suggested we just take out the tiara and clip, so she could have "princess hair" the next day, but she wanted it all out.

You do, but if you don't, they will supply you with a cheap plastic comb. So, it isn't a big deal if you forget or don't want strangers using your brush. The comb they supply you with will be put in your BBB bag with the extra makeup and face gems, so for sure it is a new comb they use every time.

When we went, we brought cheap little brushes I'd bought for the occassion, but they never even asked for them - just got the give-away combs out and went to work.

Do make sure your hair is tangle-free before you get there, though! (It also needs to be clean and free of hair product [although hairspray in my friend's bangs was fine, since she was keeping them as bangs even with the Diva 'Do].)

My friend took hers (Diva 'do) out the next morning because it was pulled tightly and may have been the cause of a headache she was having. So, she only lasted a half-day in it (our app't was 1p). Mine wasn't bothering me and I could've kept it in for the third day, but decided to take it out. I really loved it (blue Pop 'do), though!

Speaking of the comb and/or brushs - I was told the same thing, bring one with you. However, I'm thinking that disney is smart enough to have some for sale right there in the BBB for those who forget. Anybody know if they do for sure?

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

They don't have them in the boutique for sale unless that has changed since I have been there. You can, however purchase a brush in the princess section right out side of BBB in world of disney.

I finally read through all the posts
Great info.
One question regarding an adult wearing a costume in the park.

My DD9, and best friend 40+ will be getting the Coach package, and BF wants to dress up.
Thanks to one poster who gave me the link where she can purchase adult sized costumes.
Will she be allowed to wear it for MVMCP?
Thanks.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

I am not sure if they you can dress up for that party or not we all know for sure that you can at MNSSHP and I believe you can at P & P party but I have not seen that asked for MVMCP.

I just got my tickets for MNSSHP and it says "children" are encouraged to dress. Is this a change from the past? I know we've always dressed up.

1. Does anyone have a photo of Cinderella's Wedding Dress?

2. Would it cost less to do the castle package (Belle's yellow dress) or buy the dress at Tinkerbells Treasures and just stick with our $45 package at BBB? Are the photos on your photopass card too? Are the accessories that fantastic?

We are making a really big deal because this is the ultimat potty training reward!

 

[Ms_Butterfly]

Yes, the photos are on your PhotoPass card. They take photos as you get done up, which are on the card, and if you do the photo session, those are all on the card, as well.

I just took my DD to BBB May 25. I was also told to bring a comb and I had one in my bag, but they never even asked for it and I totally forgot about it until later. They just used a plastic comb that they had and put it in her bag with her makeup, etc.

My DD recently did Belle yellow dress.

It would be cheaper to buy it on its own, because then you don't have to buy the shoes, crown and wand as well. The dress was $60 by itself. It is beautiful though. Much nicer than dresses I've seen sold elsewhere. The shoes are also pretty, but they hurt my DD feet so we could have done without them. The wand is neat, it is a lightup stick with a red rose.

You can get the pictures on photopass without buying the package and save money there. Honestly I did not like the photographer there anyway. She was very short with my DD and the so-called photo session lasted less than 60 seconds. The pictures were not worth it imo.

All that said, I don't regret doing the castle package because it was really a big thrill for my DD.

Here is my DD in the white Cinderella dress and it was $98.00

You can also find pics of my dd on the first page on her cinderella wedding dress. It does cost more b/c it is considered a deluxe dress. If you plan on buying all of the accessories to go w/ the costume and you want a package of photos from your photo shoot than just purchase the castle package in the end it comes out to be the same. If you don't intend to then don't do the castle package. Yes the photopass will have your pics on it as well and as far as the accessories goes that depends on what you like the most. Your dd can create her own wand and/or crown or you can purchase the ones disney has or you can get them at walmart etc if you want them.

Congrats w/ the potty training and have a great trip.

Was your daughters Belle dress different from the one they sell at Tinker Bells treasures?

What I would like to do is let my DD pick out the dress and go withs. She can get shoes, crown, wand, purse whatever her little heart desires. I knew I was going to have to spend around $200 for the package. I was just thinking without the photos it would be less.

By buying the package does that limit your choices or can you upgrade? Like, do they have more than one crown?

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

When you purchase the package you will get the crown and wand that goes w/ the dress but when we did the wedding dress/castle package last year I didn't want the clear shoes I wanted the silver ones but they didn't have anymore we tried the white ariel wedding shoes but the didn't go well and they didn't have her size. If you don't do the traditional(so to speak) crown and wand you can make you own wand (I know for sure in world of disney) and you can make your own crown in any of the parks. The dresses are the same throughout the parks and resorts.
