Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[JJ&JSMOM]

Thanks for the mention of memories by betsy gift baskets! I contacted her and she is putting baskets together for me! She has been very nice and quick getting back to me. I would recommend her to anyone!

She is very nice isn't she - I've had so many questions and she seems to be very open to them. I'm doing 3 baskets - DS8 is so easy, DD4 & DD2 are a little more difficult. Not cause there isn't plenty to choose from but as mentioned in a previous post DD4 is going to BBB so I don't want to have the same thing in her basket as what she'll pick out at BBB. DD2 is difficult in the sense that she wants what DD4 has whether its age appropriate or not. So I wanted to do similar baskets but I don't really want a wand/tiara for my 2 yr old but I may just have to. Betsy has lots of ideas I just have no idea how 2 yr old will react !
If anyone has got a basket for a 2 yr old - I'd love some help. We're putting in an autograph book and pressed penny book cuz the other 2 have them and I have no idea if DD2 will want to do the autograph thing or not. Pressed penny she'll probably want to do. Sorry for rambling!

Have a great time at disney!

My wife and I have a reservation for our daughters on Nov 10 @ 1:30 . I just had a few questions.

1. My oldest daughter needs a size 14-16 dress. Do they have this size at BBB and if so what are the characters? If not, what do you suggest I do about getting her a dress?

2. My youngest daughter is in a 10-12 dress. I am assuming that her dress will be included in the Castle package. Am I correct?

Thanks for all your help!

From what I know the only styles that come in 14-16 are cinderellas blue dress and jasmines two piece outfit. Now from what I've been told the BBB will be getting new styles of all the dresses and they will come in xxs (2-3) to xl (14-16) so maybe by the time you take your trip they will have more of a selection for your DP.

Ok, so I started at the beginning if this thread reading. I will be honest, I have not finished (but will). LOVE the pics! VERY CUTE

I wanted to know about a certian type of hair. If anyone has had experience with bi-racial hair. My daughter has VERY long and VERY thick hair - Curly (like white hair with a perm). I am wondering if they will know what to do with her hair. Many stylist have no idea and noone has touched my daughters hair until Feb. WE went on Disney cruise and as most lil girls do, she wanted to get the braids. The lady had no idea what to do or that you could not just take a fine comb to her dry hair. She had lots of broken hair from this and I will never do again. I have cosmetologist license and am very weary about trusting someone else with her hair after this incident.

So my questions are, will they wet her hair or do dry? Like I said, you cant just comb her hair dry. It must be wet with leave in conditioner.

If they are not sure how to do or handle her hair, will they take suggestions? Can I offer "advise" or will they take offense?
I am not trying to sound "snobby" or rude.

She really wants to get this done and who am I to say no to her "magic"?

I included a pic so you can see her hair type, fullness and length. Actually its longer now (butt length)

WHAT a BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!!!!!! Ok I have alot of exp. with all types of hair and the BBB does train the girls there to deal with all types of hair. DONT worrry if there is a suggestion you have about your DP hair then PLEASE say so. Let the FGIT know if you want gel or not or any styling products or not. Please bring your own brush and/or comb that she uses so the combs we have wont hurt her. We use a detangler in the BBB not a leave in conditioner so if that is what you want then bring that with you as well. I hope this helps you out.

My DD4 goes to BBB on her 5th bday. Does anyone know if the tiara and wands are the light up kind? I'm working w/memories by betsy to create gift baskets for my DS8, DD4 & DD2 for our arrival. I might have a lightup tiara and wand in DD4's basket but didn't want to get the same thing if shes going to be getting one at BBB. Shes signed up for the castle pkg if that matters. Thanks for any info.

Only the wands in the BBB light up. The light up crowns are sold in the WOD store.

Okay....I'm totally upset at the moment. I booked my DD9 for BBB a while back...but with school starting next week I took the girls in for the back to school hair trim this past week.....to a gal that we've went to for a LONG time. Anyways...my DD wanted to get her hair cut just like she did last year so I took a photo in with us and showed the gal. Well....long story short my DD's hair is now SHORT!!! and NOTHING like what she did last year Don't get me wrong...the new cut is cute...but NOT what I thought we were getting done (AT ALL)...and SHORT!!!

I didn't think much about it until Friday night when I was looking over this thread. Anyways now I'm totally worried that her hair is to short for any of the styles. I guess I'm going to have to go back and look at some pics to see if any may work

If anyone has any suggestions on which style may work for shorter hair then PLEASE let me know.

All styles can be done on short hair. Now how short is short? are we taking pixie haircut short or to the ears short? If you can put your DP hair into a ponytail then she can get the diva and the pop princess. the fairytayle hairstyle must have at least 5 or more inches from the scalp to do this hairstyle. Good luck!!!

FGIT I have two questions:

1. My daughter is 3 and tiny. She would need an XXS dress. When I called, they said that they carry that size at the BBB. Do all the dresses come in the XXS or only certain ones? She wants to be Belle or Aurora?

2. I read through all of the posts, and I saw that you wrote something about special disney bus transportation for girls if they are staying on Disney property, where they get announced as a princess etc. I was wondering if you could elaborate on that for me. After her appt. She and her Daddy are going for a special dinner just the two of them to chef mickey's and I thought it would be neat for them if this was something that she could do, as she is so excited about being a princess.


We will be there Tuesday!!!! August 21st!!!!! Yeah!
Thanks

I am sooooo sorry to answer so late and I see now that you have already been to the BBB> But let me answer your question just in case anyone else has this question. The ONLY dresses that come in xxs(2-3) are the belle gold dress and cinderellas blue dress. As for the "Disney Dreams Express" this runs from tues. thru sat. and if you let your FGIT know in advanced that you are interested in this then she can get with the manager to see when this transport will arrive. Transport must be notified before the princess starts to get her makeover done. I hope you had a Magical Time!!!!!!

I've read on one or two posts here on Disboards that if you use your Disney Visa at BBB, you get 20% off. I've checked DisneyRewards.com though, and there is no mention of this. Anyone know about this?

This discount applied a few months ago but now they do not have any discounts for Disneyvisa holders. Please check with the BBB at (407) 828-5079 to make sure. This number is the direct line to the BBB in DTD.

The BBB now offers the fake nails to princess. I dont know how long this will last though. Most DP dont pick the nails because they dont last long but I need to tell you why that is. The state of florida says that any nails that are "stick on" for children MUST be able to come off with the touch of the child. Meaning that when your child touches the nail it must come off with no problems. The adhesive must not be to strong or it will damage the nailbed of the child. This is why the nails dont last long at all. If you choose the "crown" pkg for your DP and you pick the nailpolish your child will take home 2 bottles of the colors she picks. If the hairstyle she picks is the "pop" princess then she will get a cool bracelet to take with her as well.

I had Betsy do 2 baskets also... she was great to work with and I can't wait to see them in person! Anyways... a couple of thoughts for your 2yr old, perhaps a coloring book, crayons, stickers, sippy cup.

Hope this helps.

I want to know if you can modify the The Castle package?

I want the hair, makeup, nails, dress, shoes, wand, crown, with deluxe dress but I don't want photos. I'm a photographer and will be bringing my equipment(which will be just as good if not better than BBB's) so it would pain me to see someone else take the pictures.

 

[graciegirlie]

OMG...I can't believe all the people wanting to see the Pirate style...yet NO-ONE has posted any pics I've been wanting to see this one since I heard about it a month or so ago. We're done to a month to go...and I HOPE someone will post a pirate style photo SOON

I hear ya!!! I check this thread all the time for pics of the pirate princess style..... Come on people... Someone had to get this for the P& P party? Share pics!!!!

Good luck!!!

Help me with this. Five inches from the scalp where? My daughter's hair is in a bob style, a little below the chin (think Madeline, complete with the bow). The top of her hair is at least five inches from the scalp, but it is about 1-2 inches from the scalp at the back of the neck. She really wants a fairytail hairstyle. Can this be done, or modified somehow?

According to my own FGIT, the only four styles currently available at the BBB are the Fairytale Princess, Pop Princess, Disney Diva, and Cool Dude. It's entirely possible that the "pirate princess" is merely an alternate name -- official or otherwise -- for one of the three girls-only styles. I'd bet on the Pop Princess -- it's the least popular style, and a "cooler" name could boost sales. It's also the most "pirate-y" (read: wild, crazy, colorful and fun) of the three styles. Additionally, a skull-and-crossbones tiara is available at WoD and many other locations (like the Main Street Emporium) for about $10.

Here's what a FGIT I asked said:

Tell the guest to pull their daughter's hair into a ponytail. If the ponytail is 4" or longer, we can do the FTP. Otherwise, I'd suggest the Diva. We won't deny a guest the FTP if they want it and have short hair, but it won't look as good.

The photos are just for added magic. At the DTD location the photo area is located in an entirely different building. You can go if you would like to. The photographers are very nice and add to the magic of being a princess. They have a nice area set up and they have a chaise lounge for some of the poses. It really just tops off the princess experience having the photographers making such a fuss over your princess. You do not have to buy the photo`s either- they are included in your photopass if you purchase one.
