Hi! We are wanting to do this in July with my just turned 3 yo! Is this something you also have to book at 90 days or can you book sooner? Also what # to book?? Also, how long does it take? I would like to try to get a bkfst ressie at the castle after? Sorry for all the questions, but I appreciate the help!

For those who have made the ressies for BBB and attended...how strict are they about the minimum age of 3? My youngest will be 3 weeks shy of her third birthday when we're there. I really want both girls to be able to do this and there is no way DD2 will be okay with DD5 getting to do it, but not her. Do they ask if she has a WDW ticket? She's tall for her age, so people usually think she's at least a year older than she is, but I don't want to make the ressies only to find out she can't since she's not an official 3 year old. Oh - She does sit still for her hair. I do her hair in a pony or pig tails every morning - and she generally sits very nicely for me. She also sits nicely when she gets her hair cut. What do you experts think?

PS - I love the idea of the 8am ressie to get an empty main street! I really wanted the empty main street, but I don't want to spend our TS on breakfast ressies just to get into the park early.

TIA

We did something similar and did not have any problems at all. Just make sure your dd is ok with the event. No one asked us for anything.

Whoops - we did forget this. I don't know why, but it never entered my mind to tip our stylist. She was really good too. Now I feel bad. I didn't see anybody else tipping either.

I've never noticed anyone tipping either and I don't think anyone would have seen my tip our stylist, I did so discretely. I do think it's a nice gesture. They do a fantastic job!

I may be the only dissenter here, but I took dd to BBB last June, and I will never do it again. We went to the BBB in Downtown Disney, and it was nothing more than an assembly line. We were rushed through. There was nothing magical about it. They had a line a mile long behind us, so they did not care if we were not happy. We had a sylist that I could not understand, and she did not want to hear me. She was just trying to get through as fast as she could. Most others in BBB at the time had purchased the whole package, including the dress. We only purchased the small package, so I guess we were not inportant enough, or spending enough to count. (DD was wearing a pink cotton dress with princesses on it. it was too hot for one of those dress up dresses.) We will never do it again.

Just my 2 cents....

The MK BBB is much, much better and I've never had the experience you described but that be because we generally go at the first appt of the day.

Not sure about the new rules for booking.

That is definitely possible - the tink shop is right by these two places!
It takes about 30-40 minutes at the BBB if you do the basic package.

We have 8am ressies and then a 905 at CRT. How close is the BBB to the Tinkerbell shop where you can "wake up" Tink? I was thinking it would be sooo cool to try and squeeze that in between! Any thoughts?

My only tip would be to fill your spouse (if applicable) in on the cost of it ahead of time.

Can't tell you how many PO'd dad's I've seen....and one dad overheard another dad complaining...and then HE got mad at his wife because she had lied to him.

Too funny but oh so true!!!!
We haven't done it yet but Hubby knows we will in a few years....adjust the mortgage payment.
My tip is to go first appt. so your princess has all day for people to tell her she is gorgeous and stunning!!
I love saying "ohhhh look at the princess" when I see a little one walk by. They glow

We did this at MK and I bought a Tink dress off disneyshopping.com in Nov. We got the medium package with nails. I did tip the stylist $8 because she really made my DD feel special.

One important thing.......someone talks (aka looks them over) to the girls before we go in and they ALMOST didn't let my DD go through the transformation. We live in TX and the weather has been cold and dry. Both my kids were on antibiotics when we went (yay free fridge!!), but it made them itch. My daughter must have had an itchy head because they thought she had a scalp condition. I swore to them that there wasn't anything to it and it was just dry skin. They finally let her do it but it kinda made me mad because there wasn't anything to it really.

So....don't let her scratch her head!!!
