Need help with BBB info

[macmom3]

I want to take 2 of my daughters to BBB when we go in May, but I'm not sure when we can start making reservations. We leave in 96 days and this is the only thing I have left to do. Do you have to pay for it when you make the ressier or when the services are done? Any help would be great.

You can make ressies 180 days out so you should call ASAP. They will take a credit card # to hold the ressie, but you do not pay until you are there and your appt. is done.

we are also going in May I have already made my reservations they just took my CC number and gave me a confirmation number and asked me which package I wanted which I understand once you are there you can change, after we are going for breakfast at the castle get on it ASAP!

Like the pp said I just gave them the cc number to hold the spot and then I pay after they do it.

As everyone has said cc to hold, and then pay as you wish once you ar there. I always charge mine to the KTTW card. You may find you have better luck with reservations at DTD than at the castle. Personally, I like the DTD location better. Better selection of costumes (if you're going that way) and more room to wait. FGIT we had there were better too. Either location will be magical for your girls though! Good luck and enjoy!

I got into the BBB at the Castle when we go in May. The girls are so excited!!!

Some tips- they tell you to bring your own comb. They never use it so don't worry if you forget to bring it!

Have a little cash ready for tips (you will have 2 FGIT working on each child)

Have your camera and PP card ready to go- they get moving fast. Only 1 parent is technically allowed in but I've seen them allow more than one when it's not busy.

Consider getting gowns ahead of time and bringing them with you. The gowns sold at BBB are expensive and are very itchy material!

Where is the best places for gowns? Ilana wants the full out experience, lol. She wants a Cinderella dress and a crown and princess hair. She's 3 and you can't stop her! I see there's some on the Disney store site, are those o.k. to wear all day at the park?

Depends how hot it is when you go to the parks. We tend to do custom made cotton gowns. Just as pretty and way cooler to walk around in all day! Check out etsy for ideas/sellers.

My dressuptrunk also has better-made, not-as-itchy gowns for a more reasonable price.

I should just crack down and make one. I have the pattern already. Maybe I'll get it out tomorrow and look at it. I need to make the other easy dresses I'm making to take too!

You definitely should! Come over to the Disboutique thread if you need pointers! We all sew for our kiddos for Disney!

That thread is too much for me, lol. I was on it last time we went and I made a special outfit for everyday we were there for the 3 kids. I haven't wanted (well, I want, but don't see how I can) to invest that much time this time. I have 2 fast dresses I'm making the girls and then maybe I'll make them princess dresses and then just Disney tees my mom bought them the other few days.

I am having DD's Belle dress custom made on etsy. My Grandma is making her Cinderella dress from cotton sateen . I can't wait to get both!
