Bippity Boppity Boutique - Just back!

[LAL77]

We just returned from our week at Disney World which was wonderful. Friday we did Bippity Boppity Boutique and I wanted to post about the experience.

We went at 5pm (after my daughter's nap) in preperation for seeing Cinderella at 1900 PF. The Fairy Godmother we had was Tiffany and she was really sweet to my daughter. She made a big fuss over her and my daughter just loved it.

We got the hair and makeup package which was PLENTY for a three year old. She wore a new Cinderella "gown" from our local Disney Store and she looked beautiful! She chose the style with the little tiara and it was precious.

I have a two and a half year old also, who isn't old enough to have her hair done but they do sell the little tiara and mickey clips there in the store. They are $10/each. I just did her hair for her and they had their pictures taken together at the photopass place there at DTD.

I did want to post a bit of a warning though. When we went the BBB was running about 45 minutes behind. Since it was 5pm I realized there would probably be a wait. What I didn't count on was there being no place to wait aside from the store the BBB is in. This would not have been a problem except for the fact that the store was an absolute mad house. It was so packed there was no place to put your feet down. I literally could not walk while holding my daughter's hand. It was quite uncomfortable especially with an excited three year old and with me being 6 months pregnant but still. It was very cold out and it's Christmas so I realize now I should have expected a full store, but it was a bit rediculous. So.... Just be prepared for a wait, possibly no place to wait, and especially be aware that there is nowhere set aside to leave your stroller while you are having your hair done. If you can go in the morning - go!

Still - an extremely fun experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a little princess.

If I could figure out how to post a picture....

I agree about the waiting thing - When we went 2 weeks ago, they gave us a pager and we had to wait about 15 min - not bad at all, and lucky for us, it was a monday and the store was dead - so we parked our butts on the carpet near the check in area and waited..
But, i can only imagine if the store was packed how hard it was to wait.. And man, the day we were there it was about 50 degrees and sunny (beautiful) and they had it SO HOT in there, i was dying!!!! LOL
But, i agree i also loved the BBB, and we will do it again next yr - but i think i will stick with the monday appt. and have it mid afternoon- that seemed like an ideal time.

We were there in July this year and I made the appointment for 10:15am thinking that it was early enough that we shouldn't have to wait too long. We still had to wait about 35 minutes. They opened at 9:00 so I was really surprised that we had to wait that long. I asked at the check-in why they were so far behind and she said something about 2 fairy-godmothers-in- training calling in sick. So, it may happen at any time of the day. Just make sure to figure extra time when planning an appointment at BBB so that you can enjoy the experience and not miss something else.

My DD6 had the hair, makeup and nails done and she loved it! I wouldn't do the nails next time since they are just press on nails and they kept coming off. Overall it was a great experience and my DD would love to do it again!
