[One Year Pin]

My DW is very excited. In January, she will get to start working at the BBB in MK. She doesn't do hair, but she will be there, helping the princesses pick out dresses, hairstyles, etc. She is thrilled.

She had been working in the Emporium for the past 1.5 years so this will be a nice change for her. She just loves interacting with all the little princesses.

I don't know if this will help anyone but I just wanted to pass it on a few weeks ago I tried to book BBB at MK location and they didn't have anything till after 4.30 which wasn't going to work for us since we have a 4.30 dinner. I called this morning and I was able to get BBB for 9.55 but they also had and 8.50 and a 10 so hurry if you would like one of these app times before they are gone.

One Year Pin, we may see your DW when we are there.

I just got back tonight. Haven't even unpacked. Well I did unpack one suitcase. That's enough for now. Had a great time!

Loved, loved, loved BBB!!! The ladies are so wonderful and the place is electric with so much activity. Fun! Here's some things I learned. (These things may be covered on this thread and I didn't see them.) I went to the MK BBB.

1.) I forgot to bring a comb & brush. I wasn't asked for one. They had combs and brushes on hand (thank goodness). They also give out a little pink bag after the makeover that has a comb, makeup, and some stickers. Cute!

2.) Photopass is the way to go!! I was so glad I pre-purchased it. The photopass CMs took pictures there as the makeover was taking place and later at Exposition Hall. Professional shots. Very pleased!

3.) A little OT. After having the makeover we had dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table. It was great. Great food, service, and characters. (Made sure the napkins stayed in place and the outfits were stain free.) Photos are taken with Cinderella (taken in the front lobby of the castle). What I didn't know is there is a code that can be scanned by photopass CMs located on the photos and the pictures will be added to your photopass pictures! How great is that?! I was so glad to be able to get more copies! Yea! One of the CMs mentioned this to me. Very helpful.

4.) Afterwards we went to Exposition Hall to get the pictures made with a photopass CM. She was wonderful. She took her time and took the best pictures! I had seen everyone's pictures on this thread and they all looked so nice. I thought the backgrounds were located at the castle, I don't know why. But Exposition Hall was easy to locate and I was really glad we went by there.

HTH!

Hi all! Just wanted to throw a reminder out there: make sure your princess is at least 3 years old before you bring her to the BBB! It breaks my heart to see 1-2 year olds streaming in, not knowing what's going on, being scared of everything and just not enjoying the experience at all. The minimum age is 3 for a reason, we're not just doing it to be mean!

I got my girls rebooked.... we had them at DTD BBB on 3/14 at 10:00 i think b/c we were going to not use a park day at MK and just do the P&P party that night... well we ended up with a longer stay and more days on our tickets so we changed the appointment from DTD to the MK location and i was able to get both the girls in at 8:10 so we'll be there and ready for the park opening, might have to go back to the room to relax a while or do some 'down' rides for a few hours to last till 12:00am! LOL but booking 3 months out for Spring Break time i was very suprised there were openings before park opening!!!

1. how long will i take to get from POR to the MK BBB??? I was thinking we'll need to leave the resort at 7:00... we'll drive ourselfs though.

2. Will i be able to get DS hair done w/o an appointment after one of the girls or anything??? Or should we just try to take him down to the Barber shop?

3. So what's the tipping policy? yes or no???

4. Are the dess choices the same at DTD and MK? Can they get the delux dresses if they want them? Are shoes your choice? DD got the flip flops last year and i'd much rather her have something like that vs the glass slippers, ect....

I think that's all for now i'm sure there will be more before we go in the next 3 months LOL

 

[Andrea from PA]

We LOVED this! I've never seen my DD 6 so happy!

We did the miidle package and wore our own gown.

My DS 8 had the COOL DUDE done there too!

We loved it so much I wish I had made 2 appointments!

Well worth the money -- the Fairy Godmothers really took their time. Didn't feel rushed. And everyone in the parks makes such a big deal over the princesses! So nice!

1. how long will i take to get from POR to the MK BBB??? I was thinking we'll need to leave the resort at 7:00... we'll drive ourselfs though.

7 would be a good time to head over there but not later than 7.30 since you will have to travel from the parking lot to the monorail/boat to get to MK and any traffic they might have.

2. Will i be able to get DS hair done w/o an appointment after one of the girls or anything??? Or should we just try to take him down to the Barber shop?

I am not really sure about this one they may even do him at the same time as the girls if they aren't really busy.

3. So what's the tipping policy? yes or no???

yes you can tip if you would like

4. Are the dess choices the same at DTD and MK? Can they get the delux dresses if they want them? Are shoes your choice? DD got the flip flops last year and i'd much rather her have something like that vs the glass slippers, ect....

yes the dresses are the same at both locations. you can do the deluxe dresses at an additional cost b/c those dresses cost more, the difference between the deluxe and regular dress is the additional cost you will pay. I don't know for sure how they do the shoes but when we did the wedding cinderella we wanted the silver shoes but they only had the glass slippers and we could have gotten the white ariel shoes if we wanted them instead.

If you have a Disney store nearby, check it for sales now and then. I got a deluxe Cinderella gown regularly $80 for $25! I was thrilled! It was marked down and had an additional 40% off of that. I lucked out! Beautiful gown. Oh, the Cinderella wand was on sale too, 40% off.

OT- A lady asked if her daughter could borrow my daughter's wand for her pictures. I didn't even think about it. I said yes right away. I should have asked my daughter first. She was upset and cried. She's 4 and had a long day. I reassured her that the girl was just borrowing her wand. Eventually after the wand was returned, she stopped crying and perked up before her pictures were taken. I felt bad for my daughter. I should've asked her first. I guess it was a long day for me too.

I just got around to starting our TR, which includes a lengthy segment on our First Day about our Wonderful Experience at BBB, with lots of pics.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted on this thread, I never was able to contribute much, but I learned a lot! We were at the BBB in the castle on the 14th before the chritmas party with four girls, my two and a friends two, and we had a great time! We brought our own costumes, so I can't offer much advice about buying one, other than to say that I bought both of mine at a substantial discount through the disney store.
Here are a few pictures, here is a before shot, my girls are the two on the right.

Here is my oldest at her reveal

and with her FGIT

Here is my youngest, totally amazed at her transformation

and with her FGIT

and all of them afterwards

The girls all had fun, this was a surprise for them, they thought they were just wearing their costumes for the party. I was kind of sorry we did that because they were in total shock, they didn't even know that there was such a place at the BBB, they didn't know what they were doing, I think if we had at least told them in the morning, there would have been that opportunity for them to get excited about it. Afterwards they were thrilled, but they were kind of in shock during the process.

 

[Kittikat074]

Do they require proof of age? My daughter will be 3 on Jan 29, and I'm hoping to make an appointment on the 27th so she can be dolled up for her party that afternoon. Will they make me prove her age? TIA

[cancer_survivor_06]

No they will not make you show proof of age. I have called the BBB several times and they have said that as long as they are going to 3 w/ in 30days they are okay.

 

[Kittikat074]

Thanks!!

Hi all! I am sorry if this has been answered before, but I didn't have time to read the entire thread. Has anyone (21 or older) had their hair done at the BBB? I wanted to get my hair done there on our last vacation but was told that they didn't do adults. I read previously on this thread that some adults had gotten their hair done there. I was wondering if there are any adult DISers out there who could share there experiences. Did you have problems getting reservations for yourself? What was the experience like? It is kind of dorky, but we are going back to WDW for our Honeymoon next year and I really want to get my hair done there. Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks.

A true Disney Dork.

From page 137 to here a few people have posted their pics from their visit to BBB.

 

[_queenie_]

Does anyone know if the one in the castle will be open during the PPP?

 

[scottny]

Does anyone know if the one in the castle will be open during the PPP?

I know on 1/26 it is at 4:20 as I have an appointment then.

 

[princssdisnygina]

I am definitely over the age of 21 and just had it done 2 weeks ago! Here is a pic from it! I definitely had a great time doing this! I did it with my sister and I had done it before and will probably do it again! No, no problems at all getting reservations. And no we were not the only big kids that had it done! We wore it to the Christmas Party which is the picture below me. I would recommend it to any big kid!
