Thanks for posting the pics of the BBB..where is this located? Near the castle? I have never seen it!! My DD3 wont let anyone but me do her hair , so the makeover is out..but I would love to let her pick out some princess items in the store section...she would be in Heaven!!!

While we were at the boutique......the older boys took off & did some rides in DL: Splash Mtn, Haunted Mansion, POTC, Matterhorn & Buzz Lightyear....then made their way over to DCA & rode CA Screamin', the Maliboomer, Mulholland Madness & Grizzly River Run...twice! They are able to take advantage of single rider lines & get a lot done in a little bit of time. Ty took a couple pics:

This pic cracked me up....obviously taken as Tyler was walking....but it looks like he has claws!! lol

Mike & Betty took the twins on Casey Jr & a round trip on the DL railroad. While they were out, they did see the Lily Belle.....unfortunately neither one of them had their cameras!!! They also took the girls over the ToonTown so they could play in Goofy's Playground. This is a great place for little ones to stretch their legs!! (sure wish they had taken a camera!!!!)

Ok, back to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!

Since the kids got missed, they got Addy started at picking out her costume, tiara, shoes, & choice of wand or gloves. (she chose the wand)

Addy's outfit & accessories are taken back to a dressing room. They escorted Addy to her room while Anthony was taken to the chair to start his make-over. This is Addy dressed as Jasmine.

Here's Anthony getting his mohawk, rainbow striped with glitter & Mickey head sparkles:

The big reveal........

Addy LOVED it!!

Next installment will be Addy's turn for the make-over!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

I promise I am still tagging along! Every time I cehck in after work there's always so much to see! I'm loving all the photos!

I figured you were around but busy!! Thank you for the compliments on the pics!!

When you walk thru the castle, the boutique will be on the left side (after you passed all the way thru). You can find the princess stuff at World of Disney in DTD, at the Princess Fantasy Faire (right before you get to ToonTown on your left) & in a lot of the other stores as well.

 

[DizNee Luver]

So now that Anthony has been made into a handsome knight....it was Addy's turn to become a beautiful Jasmine.

They start with the hair. They have 3 hair styles: Classic Princess (tight little bun), Disney Diva (they put hair in bun & add a wig of long pretty curls) or Pop Princess (which is like the Disney Diva but with vibrant colors). Addy wanted the Disney Diva. These are pictures of her getting her hair done:

Next will be the make-up, nail polish, body jewels, rings, glitter, setting up the reveal, the reveal, waiting for their portrait session & Addy made a friend!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Now that the hair is done, they move on to the make-up: eyeshadow, rouge & lip color. They did a nice job with this, not making it super obvious.

Then they paint their nails with a very pale pink polish:

Next up they are shown a sheet of stick on body jewels that they get to pick which one they want to wear:

Addy got pretty excited to see all the pretty rings....but alas....she could only pick one!

Next up is the glitter (Pixie Dust) *+*+*+*+*+*+*

They announce the new princess to the room:

The big reveal!!

She really looked beautiful when she was done.....I knew Jasmine would be a good one for her & her skin/hair color!!

After both kids are done, they go into a small room set up for portraits. These are taken by the PhotoPass photographers & we received a folder with a 5x7 (?) close-up of Addy & 2 different poses of Addy & Anthony together 4x6's. This is the kids waiting their turn.

After the pictures were taken, we are asked to wait until they put our portrait package together & during that time....Addy made a friend with another 5 yr old girl.....it was so cute watching them!! Her mom & I exchanged addresses so the girls could become pen pals....hope that happens....I think it would be fun for Addy.

Anthony got the Knight's Package: Hair (color, style, glitter & sparkles), Sword (choice of 2 different ones) & a Shield for $13.95

Addy got the biggest package they offer, the Castle Package: Hair, hairpiece, make-up, nail polish, body jewels, ring, sash & cinch bag. Photo package & costume including shoes, crown, wand or gloves for $197.75

Total for both, plus tax= $226.52 less 20% Premium AP Disc = $184.18

We really enjoyed this, once we got "remembered"....lol The kids felt special & the CM's or should I say Fairy Godmother's in Training were very attentive. There are photopass photographers taking pictures thru-out the process & getting the portrait package was a nice bonus. You can have those session photos added to your photopass card if you are into buying the cd after your trip. (we buy this every trip!!) You don't have to go all out & spend as much as we did. You can get just the hair done, hair & make-up, add the portrait package to the other choices, etc. So you can put together the package you want.
Addy's hair looked a bit wild the next day.....but I banded the very top poofy hair into a little bun the next day & I believe she kept the hair piece in for 3 days total. Anthony's hair started coming down before dinner....but he still liked it!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

I forgot to mention that Addy got to keep the make-up kit, bottle of nail polish, sheet of body jewels, & their comb are put in their cinch sack to take home.

The boys headed up to the Hungry Bear Restaurant as this would be where we all met up for lunch. Tyler took pics of the ducks, the Mark Twain, the Columbia, signs in the area, Brer Bear & Brer Fox as they passed thru the downstairs seating area of the restaurant.

 

[DizNee Luver]

After the kids & I got done at the boutique, we waited on the front side of the castle for Mike, Betty & the twins to meet us so we could join the older boys at the Hungry Bear Restaurant.

These are taken after we got there:

Sorry that was the only food pic we got this meal....guess we were all too hungry to wait.....lol

We had the bacon cheeseburgers/chicken sandwich & caesar salad. All of it was good....really good!! Love their food up here. For 6 adult & 3 kid meals with drinks it ran us $80 with my AP disc....... not too shabby.

After lunch, Derek & I took the twins back to the motel for naps. I got the pleasure of hanging out in the basement doing laundry.....ugh!! I hate doing this at home & surely found no pleasure in doing it while on vacation.

The laundry at the HoJo runs $1.25 for washing & $1.00 for drying. DO NOT leave your stuff in the dryer for the full allotted time.....I pulled mine out after 30 mins & it was Hot, Hot, HOT!

Ty took a couple more random pics after Derek & I left.

love the BBB wish kate could do it again this year but alas it's not in the budget.

 

[Michelle2]

Love the BBB pictures, it sure makes me miss having a little girl that age! But even when mine were young enough to do this: 1. It didn't exist, and 2. They weren't really into the princess things, so I doubt they would have done it anways...unless they were little enough to not have a choice! LOL
So I love living through those that do have little girls that love these things!

 

[DizNee Luver]

So remember when I commented that I sure wish Mike had his camera earlier in Day 2 (which we're in)......yeh, my bad.......I missed his camera....so now am having to back track a bit......sorry!! A total brain-fart on my part.........

So while I had Anthony & Addy at the boutique....Mike & Betty had the twins. Here are the girls in their strollers:

Shyann:

Michayla:

Here's the Lily Belle & the Main Street Station:

A couple more of the popcorn carts:

The girls while they were at Goofy's Playground & got a visit from Pluto!!

The saw the Lily Belle again at the ToonTown Station:

That was the morning activities on Mike's camera........I think we're caught up now!!

That's too bad.....I know just getting hair done was pretty cheap....worth looking into (especially if you still have a costume!)

Addy is a total princess......loves all the glitter, sparkle & frill....so this was right up her alley!!

Love the latest installment! I always wanted to do the BBB with the girls but I think now they are too old and they didn't have it when they were younger and every time we went to DW I never thought to make ressies for it plus it really wasn't in our budget either.

I wish I would have done it but alas it never happened.

GREAT pics though and Addy looked adorable!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Let's see.....where were we?? Oh yes.....sweating in the humid laundry room, as Derek & the twins napped. Tyler & Nick were off doing their thing & Mike, Betty, Addy & Anthony made their way to the Princess Fantasy Faire.

The first one they met was Belle:

Followed by Tiana:

Then Ariel:

They got their picture with one of the Pages? Squires?:

They sat & watched the coronation or show....unfortunately these pics didn't come out very good so I tried to pic the best of the bunch:

The kids got to do a May Pole:

Next it looks like they rode BTMRR....I'm pretty sure Betty sat this one out......lol:

They rode on the Columbia Sailing Ship:

They saw a little of the Celebrate Parade as they made their way up Main Street:

Guess what they saw again......the Lily Belle at the Main Street Station. I sure wish I had been there in the afternoon....I have never seen it & didn't get the opportunity to do so this trip......sniff sniff

While they waited for the meet up time at Ariel's Grotto, they walked over by the Grizzly River Run to get a couple pics of the Steam Donkey.

Next installment will be our World of Color Dining package at Ariel's Grotto & the World of Color show!

There were older girls in there getting their hair done & I know some adults have done this as well......would still be fun (just no costume)!!

Such great pictures and trip report. The price for BBB OMG!!! I am glad that my kids are past that age wow. But that being said, they looks so cute.

 

[McNic]

Loving the TR so far. Your family always seems to be smiling and having a great time together...so nice to see! Addy is so cute, esp. when she see's herself for the first time. That is such a cute idea for the little ones. Age appropriate pampering!

 

[Belle Ella]

Aw, Addy at BBB is just too cute for words!!

The price is a little steep...but we always buy her a princess dress with a few accessories.....it was nice to let her get all dolled up since I'm not very good at doing those things. She also has the finest hair...so putting it in a ponytail is a struggle.

Hard not to smile when you're in the happiest place on earth....lol We have a very close family!! I thought the whole concept start to finish was very cute!! The reveal is a hoot to watch!!

Aw, Addy at BBB is just too cute for words!!

She is quite the little diva!! I think the girl should model!!
