Told Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is for Children Only?!

[UrsulasShadow]

Not at all tacky or looking like a drag queen!!! Just cute, cute, cute!!!

Yes, I fully agree...SHE looks absolutely adorable!

 

[DaisyD]

ITA!!!!! This is exactly what I don't get. How is kiddie make-up and hair ext.s
with plastic Mickeys in them spoiling you? I know, it must be that .50 sash, right? I mean, kinda like Miss America, right? Let's not forget the diva sparkle face stickers.

LMAO!

 

[MickeyP]

And yes, the LITTLE GIRL looks adorable!

 

[Mickeyistheman]

My sister was 15 when she went last April and we weren't sure if they would take her. She was so excited after she got it done. By the way it doesn't take very long to have this all done. So when people are saying oh you are taking up a little girl's chair. The maximum time my sister was in the chair was maybe 20 minutes tops. So every 20 minutes someone new can sit there. While I was sitting in the middle watching my sister, there was a family next to me and the little girl was getting it done, one of the FG's was finished and saw the brother, so she quickly said I can do something fun for you if you like. The Mom said ok, the Dad was a bit confused at the moment but when he was done with his cooldude look the Dad was overjoyed.

To each their own, but I really dislike the people on here saying that if I (28 year old) want to have it done I should feel guilty that I am taking an appointment from another little girl. That is ridiculous.

Guilty? I dunno. But if you're sitting in there with 7 other people under 10, and there is any number of children outside in the waiting area/store, I'd think you'd feel a little out of place getting your glitter stickers on?

 

[SaraMc]

You know I saw this thread and Ive seen the pictures and Im sure if I had a daughter that I would be right there with her getting all "gussied" up. However would I personally go and do it on my own accord. No, its not that I dont think its cute. I just think on me, blue eyeshadow and colour extensions dont really mix. On me that is, someone else may live and breath the blue eyeshadow and the extensions added to the hair,its just not me.
Now I do have a son, and if he ever grows some hair( he's 4.5months old and lacking in the hair department, what he has is platnuim blonde and looks like he has nothing from far away) I would take him to the main street barber and get the colour gel if he wants it and I know my DH would get it too. So isnt that the same?

Isn't the whole point in vacationing at Disney World so you can be able to wear silly hats and t shirts and get fake tattoos or your hair braided no matter how old you are? So no, I do not and will not feel any guilt for any of those little girls or boys.

It is the same as others have posted that if I was by myself without a child and waiting to get a picture with Mickey or Cindy, I should let the little girl or boy behind me go in front of me???????!!!!!!! Sorry I don't think so.

Then why did I even come down to Disney, if I am going to let every child or family in front of me. That is dumb.

No, not really.

You said it!!!!!!

What these women have failed to understand is a lot of little girl's mothers probably never heard of BBB, so when they just happen to be at WOD, they stumble upon it and ask if they can get it done. But they unfortunately cannot. You see, all these people have made ressies months in advance. So when someone says, "I'm not taking a little girl's place." Well, you just might be.

I'm sorry. I think your getting it confused with Halloween.

I am not sure I understand your logic here. So an adult woman who does her research and make an appointment (with or without an accompaning child) should not make that appoinment because there may or may not be a child who wanders past not knowing about BBB and asks her parents to do this can have her chair? Is this correct? In this case BBB should not take ressies at all making it a first come first serve basis. That is not the case. BBB does take ressies for adults and children. Until BBB comes out with an offical policy that BBB is only for children and stop serving adults then there will be adults who choose to do this. If it is not your cup of tea then do not do it. If my dd (5) asked me to do it I would in a heart beat and not feel as if I have taken a seat from a child.

Then what you are suggesting is that I should not even make any character meal ADRS because I am a single adult with no children so I shouldn't bother taking a table away from a child looking to have that experience as well?

OK, so if that is true then the next time you are at a character breakfast that you booked months in advance and see a family with being turned away because they didn't know about needing an ADR then you should feel guilty because you are taking someone elses place.

 

[bayoutinksmom]

This isnt a 'real' makeover hair/nail treatment that they do. Go to a Libby Lue and get the same thing (For $35 youll get a purse and stuffed animal too), If this is really that appealing to adults w/o little ones sharing the experience, then I imagine Libby Lue will be growing rapidly and I should look into their stock.

I am a little shocked that grown women would throw out the 'I deserve this as much as the next boy or girl line.' I bet your the one's hogging the swings and teeter totters at the park too!

Uhh, no? I've never in my life had the desire to do any of those things and I've been a regular visitor since 3 months old. It's something you could do, but I don't think Walt was sitting there saying, "Hmm .. I need to make a place where people can get string braided into their hair, fake tattoos, and wear tacky shirts and hats."

It amazes me that anyone *wouldn't* feel guilty for having some sort of advantage over the little ones. I'm the kind person that will scoot over to make room on the parade route for a kid to squeeze in or allow them to sit in front.

Disney is supposed to be about "magic" and friendliness. .. a place for EVERYONE to be happy. I can't imagine this "tough luck kid!" attitude and this "me! me! me!" attitude is what Walt intended.

BUT, you as an adult (I take it that you are one) you have that option to do so without a question. I do beleive that Walt did sit there and say to himself what can I do so that EVERYONE young and old can have fun.


I am not saying that I would not do that either at the parade, but would you let all the kids in back of you meet Mickey or Goofy before you did and you stood in line just as long as they are?

Exactly Disney is about Magic and Friendliness and I think you are really missing the point here. Just because I call 4 months ahead of someone else ,who has a child, I should not be allowed to make that same appointment?

I just want to make sure I am getting this right here. I am so surprised at some of you on here. Walt wanted DisneyWorld to be for everyone to enjoy no matter how old, young, ill or well to be available to you.

 

[orljustin]

Walt may have wanted that, but that isn't the way it is currently.

A character meal is different, because at the base of it, it is a meal, and yes there is interaction with some friendly characters.

The BBB, at the base of it, is a hair extension and some cheap makeup. Which is fine, if you're doing it for another reason, like having silly mother/daughter time.

 

[2Princes2Princesses]

NOW I see where the argument came from. Not from the people just voicing their opinion, but from the ones trying to lay GUILT trips.

I would not do BBB on my own, I am doing it with my little one, and only because she asked me to. If I saw a little sad girl when we went in, who could not get in, I would certainly give her my appointment. I know my DD and she would not be disappointed if I told her we were doing something nice for another child.

But listen, to try and make people feel guilty? Please. You can lay a guilt trip about anything people do that is not a basic need.

Oh, you bought a new car when your old one ran just fine? You could have given that money to Make A Wish and they could have taken a dying child to Disney.

You bought new shoes? Jeez, for just a dollar a day, you could feed a child in Africa.

You spent $500 on V&A's? Shame on you.....you could have donated that money to AIDS research so others could live.

We made a ressie for the Chef's Table at V&A's. Should we feel guilty about because there may be a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary who will not get to go? Even though DH and I have not been to dinner alone in 2 years?

I am the queen of guilt trips. If there is a way to feel guilty about something, I will. However, I do resent others trying to make me feel bad. Should I feel guilty that Sunday I am leaving on a 4 day cruise alone with my cousin?? Maybe. But I take my kids to WDW twice a year, spend every waking moment with them and my DH when he is not at work. Hell, I even work at home. So while it has been hard, I am brushing off that guilt trip.

Maybe some of the women on here who want to feel like a kid and go to BBB just finished a year of chemo, or takes care of an elderly parent(which is NOT easy), or are the one responsible for everything at home and just want to let go. It is not my job to judge them or try to make them feel guilty. They called, they made their appointment and they are willing to pay their $$.

So I say have a great time at the BBB!

Beautifully said!

I will again reiterate for all those who are negative posters... no one asked your opinions. OP came on here asking for help not a guilt trip. I love people who can sit and blindly judge others behind the comforts of a computer... get a life!! I thought this board was about Theme Park Attractions and Strategies.. not some fashion critiques.
