Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique FAQ's w/ Photos

I'm sorry if this has been answered, but I couldn't find the info after looking quite a ways through the thread ... can anyone tell me what the cancellation policy is?

We will have our niece and nephew with us in early December for one night (they live near WDW). They're going to spend the night w/us then we're going to do MK all day the next day before taking them home. I know my niece would LOVE to do BBB and I'd love to have her do it, but if the weather is nice enough, I'm betting she'll want to swim when we get back to the hotel, and then the beautiful hairdo will be lost.

However, with it being December, I know the weather can be dicey, and if it's too chilly, the kids won't swim. So ... I don't want to book it and have to cancel if it's warm, esp. if there's a fee (which I seem to recall there is). Any info or advice would be appreciated!

You need to cancel 24 hours ahead of time, if not it is a 10 dollar charge. That being said, we had an appointment the last day of our trip this past March and DD just refused to do it. She was getting over the flu from the day before, and tired from a long trip and just shy as well. We tried to talk her into going in and looking at least, but it was a no go, so the ladies siad we could come back later and try, but we were flying out. I have yet to be charged a cancellation fee on my card. I don't know if thats becuase we tried and she refused or what.


IUHoosiers, I saw the ariel meramid outfit hanging and I thought it was hideous. So it was definately out for us. I've not seen it on though.


3princessMommy, not sure what yo uare talking about. I think you might be mixing up styles.
The fairy -tale princess is the one with the bun and a tiara. The Disney Diva is with hair extensions that match your DD's hair . they do have colored peices in them hanging, but it isn't ahir.It's like rope with Disney mickey heads (if I remember right) The Pop Princess is with the extension that are colored hair. There isn't a bun style with extension. But I do see that some stylelist have smoothed out the top of the last two styles to make it sort of look like a bun. (I don't like that look) while others tease it out and have it match the extension. I think that looks much nicer with that style. The smoothed look kind of looks like a bubble with the extensions.

I would like to do this for DN's b-day and wanted to know what can be done for an African-American girl who already has braids in her hair...does anyone know?

She really wanted to do this last summer and I promised her we would do it this year.

Thanks.

Just love your sig! I'm a proud Army sister, too. Brother is stationed at Fort Hood and we just got back from seeing him. He's headed back to Iraq April 27
for his second tour. Already talking about taking our first trip together (as adults) when he gets back.
Glad to see another sister out there!

In Post #121: She got the Fairytale Princess style. (Sorry can't figure out how to copy the photo here.) Then the girl standing on the right in the brochure seems to have a hairpiece right behind the tiara in front of the bun. I've also seen a couple photos were there appears to be curls under the multi-colored Mickey barrette behind the bun. They aren't long - are these standard?

I have my brochure right in front of me and there isn't any girl with a tiara with hair extensions. O nthe back thgere is a gril in an Aurora dress with a crown, and hairpeices, but her hair is teased up behind the crown.
The ones with thehair sticking out with the barret, I assum are girls with extremely long hair and that is what htey do with the left over. I'll have to look at the post you mentioned.

I have read that african american girls with braids have gotten it done as well. I know I have seen a picture, but not sure what page.

 

[jenseib]

In post 121,here is the link by the way for anyone who wants to see it, http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1333944&page=9, she has african american hair. Her hair was in a style before hand that couldn't do a bun, so they worked with what they had. It was precurled, and those are NOT Disney extensions. Unfortunately if you are white, your kids won't have a do like that. That girls hair is very cute, but not a typical style done at BBB. She does say in her post that they worked with what she had (braids, etc).

We've made BBB appts in May for DDs (6&4) for 9:05 and have the princess lunch at Norway at 1pm. I'm really excited and the girls are both talking about which hairstyle and dress etc. But I have two questions:

1: My eldest has Selective Mutism and even though I know she's thrilled to do this, the condition will probably take over when we get there and she will not be able to talk and may be very frightened of the FGMIT. I know that they will be very busy, but will they be patient with her and help her overcome the anxiety in order to enjoy the experience or will they just give up and tell us to leave so as not to fall behind?

2) My girls like the classic princess look, and don't want colors etc. in their hair. But they like curls and extensions. In the brochure, it shows one girl with the fairytale princess bun, but with a curly hairpiece. But on this thread, I've only ever seen that style on african-american children. Is this type of hairpiece available for anyone else?

Thanks!

I'll try to answer your questions for you.
1) If you have already made your ressie for the BBB, call them back and let them know that your DD has some special needs, this will prepare the FGIT who might be assigned to your DD. That would be beneficial to them as well as her. If she just doesn't talk, that should not be a hinderance to her enjoying the experience. And I do hope that they both have a great time.

2) I think you are combining two different hairstyles in your description. The Fairy Tale Princess style is the one with the bun and the small tiara. The Princess Diva is the style that has the curly hair extentions. You can buy the tiara to go with it for an extra $10. My DDs chose the Fairy Tale Princess but I think that this year they will want the Princess Diva.

This is a picture of my DDs with the Fairy Tale Princess style.

Thanks jenseib for clueing me in on the "hideous" Ariel costume. I was kind of afraid of that. I want to be able to plant a different seed between now and September if I need to.

Of course, now I'm even more curious....Does ANYONE have a photo of the current Ariel/Mermaid costume??? Or maybe if it is hideous, nobody has one??? If it's that bad, hopefully they'll have a new design by September - wishful thinking, I know.

 

[seobaina]

Would some kind soul post a description (poss link to pics) of all the hair options? I know they are all in the thread somewhere but it's a long way back or spread out. I for one am getting confused between pirate princess, diva etc. Which include the mickey hair clip, the sash, the tiara, etc. Help?

 

[surfergirl602]

No, BBB uses a brand new comb and make-up pallete on every client. You get to take the comb and make-up pallete when the appointment is over.

When I called to make my appointment this week they told me that we had to bring our own.

 

[surfergirl602]

Does anyone know how good of a quality the photopass (?) pics are? Do you need to buy the photo package, or can you just order some from your card(s) later when you get back from your trip? Are they still "studio" pictures?

 

[IUHoosiers]

Nevermind...I found the following VERY helpful photos earlier in the thread.

I don't remember seeing this Ariel/Mermaid costume when we were there in February. If anyone has this costume....please let me know your thoughts on the "coolness" (as in temperature) of it. I can't really see the top portion of the costume very well - is it similar to the Jasmine costume? TIA!

Yep, we were told to bring our own comb or brush too!

I'm sure this has been addressed in this thread but I couldn't find it. Here's my situation. I'm going in June with DD5 and DD2. DD2 will be a little over 2 1/2 at the time. I know that the minimum age is 3 but I also know that I will be in big trouble if her big sister can go and she can't. Will we get questioned on her age? Sitting for the "appointment" won't be an issue for her. Has anyone else taken a child who is under the "minimum" age and if so, how did it go? Thanks.

 

[alloyd1170]

IUHOOSIER-

I saw that dress listed several times on Ebay. You might save some money getting it there. As for how cool it is-I dont know. It looks like it would be hot and itchy. I got my dd an Ariel dress off Ebay (havent seen another one like it) and it seems cool. It has a hoop in the skirt so air can flow! It is sleeveless, and the bodice is aqua green with a pink "bra" (all one piece) and the skirt is satin in the same color with some shimmerery panels.

I know this has probably been answered but I don't have the hours to check over the whole thread.

I see on the first page that the coach & crown pkgs take 20 & 30 minutes...how long for the castle treatment?

Thanks

Some have gotten away with it, while others were canceled. You never know how your child will act either. My DD3 was so excited and we got there and refused. She got shy she said. But it was at the end of our stay and she was tired, over stimulated, and had gotten the flu on the trip as well. They say if it is 30 days before their third birthday they can.

Thank you for the Ebay tip. I was able to see a better picture of the Ariel/Mermaid costume available at BBB. It looks very similar in design/materials to the Jasmine costume that DD got during our last trip.

I saw a different design on Ebay that I like much better, and I know there are cheaper ways to do this, but I don't think I can get out of the castle package for this trip. We did the castle package in February and DH and I agreed that in the future we would just bring a costume from home. Well our September trip is with my old college roommate and her DD3. This is their first trip to WDW and of course they want to do the castle package. I don't think I could convince my daughter to bring her own costume when her little friend will be getting a new costume that day. I guess I have a few months to try and "talk her into it".

 

[Twilight Terror]

Dunno if this has been answered before or not, but we are doing the DTD BBB and will have our studio pictures done there. We are then heading over to MK for the MNSSHP - would be able to have another set of "studio photos" over at MK?

 

[ILoveMickeyandMinnie]

Yep, we were told to bring our own comb or brush too!

I noticed on our last trip that they had princess brushes you could buy incase you forgot your own .
