Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

[Cree629]

We just took our daughter last week, and she will not be three until May. I posted some pictures (I think they are two pages back in this thread). She LOVED it.

When I booked, I didn't say anything about her age at all. I had read here from some of the FGIT that the 3-year old restriction is more due to the fact that not many girls well under three years old would enjoy the process and/or be able to sit still for it. I know my DD, and knew she would sit perfectly and get a big kick out of being made up to look like a princess (she LOVES all of the Disney princesses so much).

We did tell our FGIT when we got there that she is only two, and she said that was fine. You know your child best, and if you think she would enjoy it, go for it!

My daughter will be 3 when we get to go (turns 3 the following week)... Anyone else do it this young? Just wondering if we should consider it or better to hold off when she's more likely to remember it.

I'm sooooo sorry but The FairyGodmother only lets us do the three styles that are in the booklet. These styles are the offical "disney boutique" styles and they dont want any confusion about where you had it done or who did the styles.

I totally understand, I'm just happy to hear from an actual F.G.I. in training. Let me ask you, if I got the coach package, would it be okay if I went in with my daughters hair already styled, and just have them do the makeup? Would I still have to pay the whole amount for the package if I did that?

Or will they expect me to get both her hair and her makeup, since I already made the appointment for the coach package? The reason I ask is that my youngest daughter that's 6yrs old is having both her hair and her makup done, so I don't want my 9yr old to feel left out, and that's why I wanted for her to have something done. The only thing is she rather have her hair like the actual Jasmine princess. So I'm kind of stuck as what to do?

I have a question I am hoping someone can answer for me.. I have an early ADR @8 on a NON EMH am.... will my dh and ds be able to enter the park with us even tho they are not going to BBB for an appt?? TIA

Does anyone know if I can change our BBB package after we get there, or do I have to do it before? We reserved the Castle pkg, but I just found a gorgeous Tink costume online, so we don't need the "whole" pkg! Help please? We will probably change to the Crown pkg.

My girls have appointments tomorrow and were planning to just wear their dresses to the park......I'm reading a lot about people bringing their dresses and changing at BBB. Are we going to have trouble getting them into the park in their dresses (they are 11 years old if that makes a difference). I'd hate for us to be turned away at the gate!!!!!!! I just don't want to have to carry around their regular clothes all day, so I figured wearing the dress to the park was the way to go.

Thanks!

I think that they are not "supposed"to be in costume over 10 years old, but I think some people probably let their kids when it is borderline like 11. Still, if you get caught you'd get asked to leave from what I understand. You might have to bite the bullet and take the clothes and change into them if you get asked to. A locker for the bag, maybe?

princess up to the age 10 can wear costumes in the parks during regular park hours over 10 for parties only.

I don't know what the FGIT is talking about. Eventhough I haven't been yet I was told on here (by Angiebell I think) and even saw pics were African American kids had their hair done differently from whatever those brochures have in them. I mean they were styled close to the same fashion as possible. They only reason I say this is because Disney didn't have much forthought in how to do hair of of many ethnicities and have failed to address it yet. I mean I was told the have Jam hair gel, Motions brand hair products, and others. But my niece will have her hair freshly done in cornrows coming up into a ponytail and they'll will have to work with that. Her hair won't lay down with any type of hair gel and since it's not relaxed hair regular products just wouldn't do the job. Wish my niece had more of mine and her fathers silky grade of hair (she had to gets her mothers grade ) And if they don't fine with me, I'm doing it for the experience. Maybe you could talked your DD into something else and get all excited about it so she'll want that more than if she can't have that Jasmine look like she wants. Jasmine is my nieces favorite.

Hello. We leave tomorrow- and I haven't booked a BBB package b/c my daughter's hair is cut in a short- chin length (at best) bob. Will the Fairy Godmother's be able to do anything with her hair w/o using the hair pieces? I know my DD will not like those! A tiara, she'd love, but how to get it in?
MANY thanks!!!

As long as they can pull something up on top they can do it.

 

[kkproulx]

Even if they can't pull anything up they could put pixie dust in her hair. I'm sure they could pull something up on the top and do a little something for her.

I just posted my dd pics from last year a few pages back... lets' see

http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=22797341&postcount=2536

that shows you how she got her hair done in the basic "princess bun" so no hair peices in there. this time though she wants the one with the extra hair.

oops!!! i didn't know the thread was this long, my question has been answered~ thanks!

Well, I booked last night for DD4.5.

She's getting her hair done at DTD and then we're going to go have lunch with the princesses at Akershus at 1:25 p.m. We're doing hair and make-up, and I'm just going to ask for light glitter in the hair.

That is terrific! We just did the same thing about two weeks ago and DD loved it. She too is 4 and a half years old. I did not find the pixie dust to be that bad at all. They were very generous with it, but it came out with out any problems and I did not see much of it after two good shampoos.

Having just done the same thing you are going to do I wanted to share some advice or provide a warning. If you are using the Disney bus system to get from DTD to Epcot for lunch you may not know ( as we did not until the morning of) that there is no bus to Epcot for DTD. We were told the best thing to do was return to our resort and get the Epcot bus from there. This added to our time so we got to our BBB appointment early and they let us in!

Before we left a CM at the WOD store suggested we take the bus to one of the Monorail resorts instead of our own resort, POFQ and then take the monorail to Epcot ( by changing monorails at the TTC). So, we did this. Big mistake and it was our fault for not thinking it through. It too way longer to get the bus to the first monorail resort stop ( the Contemporary) then it would have to take the bus to POFQ. We ended up on the bus for a good forty minutes longer than needed. We were not late to our lunch at Akershus, but it was a long, long ride.

So, if you need to use the Disney bus, just go to the closest resort to switch to the Epcot bus and that would be POFQ.

Have a wonderful time!!

Another suggestion would be to take a bus to an Epcot resort and walk in the back, since you'll be going to Norway in WS anyway.

Okay, DD has said she wants to be Ariel at BBB but NOT the Ariel with fins. She wants to dress as Ariel as a person in her gown. Any idea where I get THAT costume......both at home or at WDW???????? TIA!

 

[becca011906]

you can get the wedding dress of ariel at the BBB and in the stores all over disney!

 

[_queenie_]

With the make-up do they use macara? If so is it waterproof, my DD gets really irritated by it (just like me).
