[srfrgrl07]

You can now make reservations through 407-wdw-style. Hours are 9:30-6. There are 3 different packages offered.

any idea on what the prices and packages are? Do they have any less than $100? that seems a bit much to spend on my 3 year old.

I'm exited about this. I have a niece who will be 7 when we go next. Since her first trip when she was 4 we've had a tradition to go "shopping" for her princess dress and accessories the day before our princess meal. That morning we get her all dolled up with the dress, the crown, the wig, the shoe, etc and sometimes with a bit of makeup. Its fun and wonderfully creative. She pretends she is a princess and we pretend with her. As a child development major I appreciate the social and emotional development the is occuring. And its just plain fun.

So I can't wait to add the bibbidi bobbidi boutique to our routine. It will make it that much more special

I too am interested in the prices of packages. Also, how far in advance can you make reservations? My girls will love this. Also, my daughters best friend is moving to Heathro?, Florida on Saturday. Her mother thought it might be fun to do with her as a special birthday treat since she will still be new in town.

I see nothing wrong with having some fun on vacation. There is a store here called Libby Lu that does pretty much the same thing.

 

[srfrgrl07]

The opening date is April 5 or April 7...I can't remember. Booking window is 180 days, just like dining. There are 3 packages:

Coach- $35 plus tax for 20 minutes includes hairstyle and shimmer make up.

Crown- $45 plus tax for 30 minutes includes Coach package and nails.

Castle- $175 plus tax for 40 minutes includes Crown package and choice of Disney Princess costume with crown, wand, shoes, accessories and a photo package. $175 is the starting price...I guess it depends on the photo package you select.

There is no age limit, but children 3 and under must have an adult present with them the entire time (duh.) There is a seat next to the child for one person. The reservation is guaranteed with a cc and only charged for no shows and cancellations within 24 hours of appointment time. Sounds like it's very few appointments available per time slot, I guess makes sense considering the limited space. Maximum of 10 at a time.

HTH

WDWfor5 - I couldn't agree more. My five year-old goes into a trance when we walk past Libby Lu's in our local mall. Her eyes roll backwards in her head and she is drawn inexorably toward the door - but I have never bought anything for her there and have shot down her repeated pleas to have her birthday there. I don't mind a little pink nail polish or kiddy make-up sets, but the sexualization of pre-pubescent girls really bothers me. She see glamour, I see pedophile bait. Having said that, DD got her hair poufed at the Main Street barber shop before lunch at Cindy's, and couldn't have been more pleased. I changed her back into her shorts after lunch, but she wouldn't relinquish the crown and pixie dusted pouf until she got into bed that night.

I can't help but agree. I remember that I was not allowed make-up or earrings until I was 12 (and then very little) and it was no big deal. Hair and a little "pixie dust" no problem, but I would say no to the make-up. The princess costume photos would be amazing. I wonder if my little one would co-operate!

........ and what about the boys?! Why don't they ever do anything for the boys!?!? Doesn't Disney care about the boys!? After all, they have many male characters. Why do the boys always get left out!?!?!?

I am getting tired of this. No boy meals, no special boy things ... what is up w/that!?

There is a place at the World of Disney called the Adventure Room where boys can build "boy" stuff...they have pirate, cowboy, astronaut and superhero items. Boys can customize their costumes, too. They also have the lego land area. If a young man wants a "salon" experience, the main street barber shop will put the sparkle gel in his hair, sans nails and makeup.

I agree that having little girls get their hair, nails, and makeup done sends some disturbing messages.

I want my little girl to
-use her imagination to engage in creative play,
-use her brains to solve puzzles,
-use her limbs to run, jump, climb, and do somersaults,
-use her eyes to look at picture books and work on developing sight vocabulary,
-develop her affection for others to build friendships,
-maintain her sense of excitement and awe at all the cool new experiences life has to offer,
etc.

I want my daughter to be so busy enjoying life that sitting passively and having her hair, nails, and makeup done would seem boring.

Primping for preschoolers (or elementary school kids) seems wrong to me. I don't like the element of pre-mature sexualization, but I also don't want little girls taught that self-beautification is as fun (or more fun) than playing. Reserving time at Disneyworld to get make-up put on strikes me as a way of saying "Even in this really special place with hundreds of things to do, grown-up beauty rituals are important." To each his or her own, but I'd rather take my kid swimming.

By the way, I don't think either nail polish or make-up are inherently bad. If my kid were in "The Nutcracker," I would certainly let her wear make-up. If she were at a friend's house and the Mom painted her nails, I would be fine with that. But setting aside time while at DISNEYWORLD to get adult beauty products put on my already beautiful preschooler? I can't see it.

i to agree that the real makeup on girls is not good and i dont like it. but i do think if the boutique paints their nails with cute light pink polish and puts some body glitter on their cheeks and some sheer pink lip gloss it would be fine.

[RachaelAitken]

Many thanks for the numbers . We are all booked!! Blow the expense she is going to have the full works castle package then off for dinner at the Grand floridian to show Cinderella. Daughter is SO excited..only 104 days to go now hooray

 

[DisneyMomx7]

I just booked the "crown" package for my two dds for July 21. I picked that day because its our last full day at Disney and we're having dinner in the castle that night. Last year the girls did the "My first manicure" and "My first facial" at the GF spa and loved it. This will be right up their alley - and a whole lot cheaper!

 

[DisneyMomx7]

I forgot to add - CM wanted to know where I heard about the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique already. I said the Dis Boards - she said, oh that explains it!

 

[TravelRachael]

I just booked it too for April.
I took the Crown Pkg. and made it for the first full day of our trip.
The girls are going to love the hair extensions!
For these kids, it's a fun thing to do, something they have never done at home.
Maybe makeup on real little girls might not be so great but my DDs are a bit older and they are excited.
The CM told me that the girls get to take the makeup pallette home w/them and described the hairstyle choices: Princess Tiara, colored extensions, naturally colored extensions. She also said they had not decided on what exactly they would be doing w/the nails, polish or appliques. All princesses should arrive with clean, combed, tangle free hair and nails w/out polish.
I'll be sure to post an update when we get back.
