Told Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is for Children Only?!

[orljustin]

It's not a train wreck. What, we're not allowed to have our own opinions? We all need to agree on everything? Ick.

BTW, I think the girl spent about 2 minutes painting my daughters nails.

[/QUOTE]I have seen many come out sporting a less than flattering make up...some of the kids actually looked frightening to me.
Granted, some of the Fairy Godmothers in training do a terrific job, and it'll always be cute on little girls...but...oh well....just my opinion of course, and if adults feel like doing it....fine![/QUOTE]

I have to agree with dreamseeker on this one when we went in Oct for MNSSHP we saw alot of little girls and moms with the hair and makeup done from the BBB we thought they looked like little drag queens But every last one of them had a huge smile on and that in the end is what disney is all about

Cant we just agree to disagree? I am a 29 year old first grade teacher and I am all about it but if you dont want to do it then dont. Dont criticize those of us that want to. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But dont criticize me as a teacher because I want to do the "kid" things. Believe me, I have to be the adult enough in the classroom. I am done defending the ones who want to do it... I dont think the words of those who disagree will make a difference in our decision.

The same people who think the Botique should be kids only are probably the same people who think that adults should move off of the curb so that their little precious can have the spot to see the parades. No matter if they come up at the last second and you have been sitting there for an hour and a half. And think that adults should not have their picture taken with the characters. And the same people who judge you by how old your child is in a stroller. And the same people who judge you for having your children out in the parks too late.

If you are not breaking a rule (law), or hurting someone, who cares what other people think? Sure they are entitled to their opinion, but that is all it is. Their opinion.

Go get your hair done and have a blast!!!:

Actually someone already said that about 3 pages back, and that person was also incorrect.

So I am not allowed to voice my opinion because it matches someone elses?

Wow, if that is a new rule, these threads will all be really short.

Thanks for letting me know.

No, the last part of your post (the part where you said everyone should do what they want to do and have a blast) was a perfectly valid opinion.

But the first part (the painting with the broad brush and saying something factually incorrect) had already been stated and argued.

Not that it really matters, anyway!

I am actually a fairy godmother in training at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. We actually have people take the reservations for us who are in a completely separate building. You should get her name if you get to talk to her again because she should've informed you correctly. Adults are more than welcome to get a princess transformation. We don't have costumes in sizes larger than a children's 10-12 but you are more than welcome to get your hair, makeup, and nails done. So definitely make an appointment and we'll see you there!

 

[truebelievers]

Kelly-We can go to the lodge for hot cocoa and Baileys!!!

IN the meantime, I will be in WDW in Feb, with my tacky makeup and hair, wearing my tacky Snow White gown......

but with one Incredibly happy little 3 yr old who is having a great time with her Mommy!

This made me smile so much!

 

[fg_in_training]

Good for you! You have the right state of mind. And your daughter is happy and that's all that matters! I applaud you.

Actually, coming from a fairy godmother in training herself. I currently work at the BBB, our makeup is made for children. So it's hypoallergenic and sheer in color. We don't want our little princesses to look fake. We want them to look pretty. We're not licensed makeup artists, so it's against OSHA's regulations to use real makeup on little girls. Plus, as much fuss is going on about the price being too high, if we used, say Mac or Loreal, the price would go up at least $30 more. Then, where would we be?

for giving us the official word. Now everyone play nice together!

What's the "cool dude"? Is it a service for boys (or men in this case) to do at BBB? Any pics?

The "cool dude" is a way of incorporating boys (and men) into the boutique so no one gets left out. They spike their hair up (if it's a good short length, if not, they comb it down) and put colored gel in it. (blue, green, yellow, or red, or all 4!) Then, they get a hidden mickey painted in the back. As a fairy godmother in training, I once made a man into a cool dude and we did his goatee as well.

Which tells me that the experience was designed for children.

I think that whomever brought up Libby Lue made a great comparison. Thats the type of mini makeover that you get here. While nobody is going to say anything about an adult looking silly at Disney, I think its meant for the little ones. Their are many adult makeover/spa treatments available, and since this is such a small boutique, I guess I would feel bad if I were an adult going there and it meant a little girl got bumped out of the opportunity.

I don't completely agree. We make up to 200 girls into princesses in a single day. For the most part, we don't get to accept walk ins anyway because we book up so fast. So normally if a little girl is going to get it done, they book an appointment anyway.

 

[fg_in_training]

Adults only:
Victoria and Albert's
Pleasure Island Nightclubs
Palo, Route 66

Kids only:
Neverland Club, Simba's Clubhouse, etc.
Navigator's Club

Anyhoo, obviously, Disney is not going to turn away cash, but there is nothing about the marketing, brochures, or anything regarding the boutique that suggest it is for adults.

Can I just ask a question? Why would anyone want their kids to go into nightclubs? Even if they were allowed?

 

[fg_in_training]

Designed for children, but an adult can bring out her inner child (hence being at Disney) and become a princess herself if she wants.

They wouldn't. What's your point?
