I need help from all of the experts on the BBB!

I am planning on taking my daughter to do the BBB for the first time next month. I was wondering what time I should make my reservation for. We have a dinner ressie at Ariel's at 6:10. I am booking the middle priced package. I wasn't sure how much time to allow for the appointment and for walking over to Ariel's. Also not sure if they run behind on their appointment times or if they run on schedule.

My next question is I heard that they let you keep the make-up, hair stuff, etc. that they give to you. We are eating at Ariel's on our last night of the trip. I am wondering if I should do the BBB at the beginning of our trip and just do my daughter's hair myself with the stuff from BBB when we go to Ariel's? That way she can "dress like a princess" for 2 or 3 nights. We will be there for 5 days/nights.

Any input or suggestions? Thanks!

They do give you a small backpack style bag with your brush, comb, extra makeup and body jewels in it. And you get to keep your tiara or hair extentions as well, so yes, you do get to keep what they "use" on her, in her case she will also get to keep her nail polish. We had our BBB appts at 9 am, we got there a few minutes late for that appt but they got us in no problem. We were in and out in just about an hour, maybe 10 min. more. We did do the photo package so we had to wait for those to be done. DD9s hair lasted for 3 days, the only thing we did was remove her tiara at night, and she didn't swim or get her hair wet (no Splash) after we had it done. So, she had it in Monday all day, Tuesday all day and then Wednesday for school. We took it out that night because she wanted it out and wanted to wash her hair. I'd allow an hour to get her all done, then another 20-30 min. to walk to AG, but honestly, I'd get her done in the morning so you didn't have to worry about it anymore.
