Tinkerbell Toy Shop Revisited

.
.
In yesterday's post, I mentioned that the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Disneyland is occupying the same space that was once used for the Tinkerbell Toy Shop. I also mentioned some Peter Pan themed wood carvings which still adorn the facade. I thought I would post the picture of the entrance again, but this time with the areas I was talking about circled. I have also included close-up photos of each of the carvings.

Notice the dust on top of the crocodile....someone needs to do a little housekeeping!

At one time, there was also a carving of Nana on the far right side of the roof. Unfortunately she was removed during the "New Fantasyland" construction in the early eighties, when the Snow White attraction next door received a new facade. I do love the fact that these other three carvings still remain today. It would have been so easy for Disney to remove them now that the space has a Cinderella theme. Now if only they hadn't torn down Captain Hook's pirate ship that used to sit in Fantasyland....or at the very least, if they had left Skull Rock so that it could be pouring water down into the pond behind Dumbo's Flying Elephants!

Bibbidi Bobbidi...Tokyo & Anaheim

.

Your magical transformation awaits....for a price! Let's visit the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques in both Disneyland AND Tokyo Disneyland.

Above and below, are exterior shots of Tokyo's version which opened inside their brand new Tokyo Disneyland Hotel last July.

Next, we have two shots of Anaheim's version which opened earlier this year in the space that once housed the Tinkerbell Toy Shop in Fantasyland. Notice how the original wood carvings of Captain Hook, Mr. Smee and the Crocodile are all still present under the eve of the roof. While they don't really fit in with the Cinderella boutique theme, I'm certainly glad that these little gems were not removed!

Here's a comparison of the interiors...Tokyo is shown first.
.

.

Tokyo's seems to be just a little more "boutique-ish." Anaheim's isn't quite as posh.

.

.

This is the official brochure for Tokyo.

Here's a close-up of the three choices and their prices. Since the brochure is in Japanese only, I don't know the names of the packages or what they include, but the highest level package (the first photo) costs the equivalent of $269 U.S. dollars. The second is $68 and the third is $56.

This is the brochure for Anaheim, which is really just one piece of paper, printed on both the front and back.

.
.
The difference between the lower two levels appears to only be the inclusion of nail polish. Anaheim doesn't list their prices, but here they are: The Coach Package - $44.95, The Crown Package - $49.95, and The Castle Package - from $195.85 to $205.85 (depending on the choice of princess gown and shoes.)
.
All three packages include a choice of one of the following hairstyles.

One morning while I was in Tokyo, I woke up feeling really blah....I felt like a real slob...and THIS is what the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique did for me.....

Okay, so I'm also a fan of "I Love Lucy." Just in case the quote wasn't recognized, it's from the "Mr. and Mrs. TV Show" episode, when Lucy "plugs" Phipps Department Store's beauty salon.
