Bibbidi Bobbidi Boxes Subscription Box Review

By. Andrew

While I’ve never been one for subscription boxes, as I’d rather spend my money on exactly what I want rather than gambling for something I may love or may hate, seeing “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boxes“ on Instagram caught my eye and made me want to give it a shot.

I chose the smallest size box, which contained 3 items in it. The box costed me $36 including shipping after using a promotional coupon. Also, I made it a gift so that it would not renew monthly, as I just wanted to try the one month.

I want to give a huge shoutout to whoever runs their Instagram. I found this company through Instagram, and asked them numerous questions through DM, which they responded to very quickly!

The website itself is very well organized, and choosing a box involves a few questions such as whether or not there is a gender preference, what age you would like the products to appeal to, and what best describes you (pin collector, etc.). There is also a box for you to write in your favorite characters, which I used to request at least one Halloween plush, and to not make it Devil Donald (least favorite of the Halloween designs).

First, let’s take a look at the box itself:

The design is adorable and very eye-catching. Seeing this at my door certainly got me excited, more so than any regular amazon box would.

Box: 10/10

Next, let’s look at the opened box:

The contents are neatly wrapped under tissue paper, along with shredded paper and some bubble wrap keeping the contents safe inside the box. Hiding the products was a good idea, but it was a little stupid to have the contents listed on a piece of paper that was placed on the top of the box. Under the personalized letter (which you can make for free while purchasing) was a printed page listing the contents of the box. The paper was even folded with the words outward, so it was hard to miss, thus spoiling the box.

Arrangement: 7/10

Next, the contents:

My box included three items. Each one was a Disney park exclusive, as promised, and is valued at about $41, saving me about $5 altogether if I had bought these myself in the park. Let’s take a closer look at each item.

First, and most prominently, Jack Skellington Mickey:

As far as I can tell, this guy has been sold out for a while. I certainly did not see him on my recent trip in August, so I’m going to assume he’s a discontinued plush. I could be wrong, but I feel special thinking that so I’m going to go with that. Getting this plush was a very pleasant surprise. I was expecting to get one of the new Halloween plushes, such as Vampire Mickey or Witch Minnie, but I’m more than happy to get this guy. I’ve always wanted him, but never pulled the trigger to buy him. As far as quality goes, he’s just as amazing as most Disney plushes. He’s actually a lot softer and furrier on his head than any of my other Mickey plushes, including the 2017 Halloween Mickey. His tall, lanky legs are a bit weird for Mickey, but make perfect sense for Jack Skellington. As an added bonus, his legs are very stiff and his feet are wide and hard, allowing him to actually stand up perfectly! All in all, this was an awesome thing to get.

Next, the pin:

This pin is not limited edition or anything, but it is exclusive to the parks during the Halloween season. I believe it is available in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, but I’m not sure. Despite it not being necessarily valuable or rare, it’s a great thing for me since I won’t be able to go to Disney while it is being sold, making this the only way I was going to get it. I love collecting Disney pins, especially ones that represent something specific, such as an event, so I’m very happy with this as well. The pin itself is beautiful, and would make any pin fan happy.

Finally, the hot chocolate.

If anything was a bummer, it would be this. That isn’t to say I’m not happy with it, I’m just not a fan of hot chocolate. That being said, there’s many positives to this. It’s not just Disney brand hot chocolate, it’s in an INCREDIBLE tin pot, with just the best design ever on it and on the lid. I might not want to drink it, but this will make an awesome decoration for Halloween. Would I have preferred another plush or pin? Yes. But I’m not going to complain about this, since it’s pretty cool anyway.

As you can probably tell, I pretty much loved everything I got from the box, and that’s about the most important thing in a subscription box, right?

Contents: 9/10

Finally, let’s talk about the price and if it’s worth getting. As I said in the beginning, I paid $36, and the paper included in the box said about $41 was spent on the contents inside. In the end, I really only saved about $5. As much as I loved getting it, and loved what I got, I can’t help but think it would have been just as good for me to buy these on my own for about the same price. I probably wouldn’t have gotten the hot chocolate, so I would have saved $10 buying what I wanted individually. That being said, these items are park exclusives, and are not even available on the Parks Shopping app, so you’re paying in part for the ability to get these exclusive products without going to the Disney Parks. You’re also paying for the fun of getting a box of mystery items, which are catered to your requests just enough to assure that you won’t be let down by what you get.

Value: 5/10

So, do I recommend Bibbidi Bobbidi Boxes? Yes! I think the value is irrelevant when you take into consideration the sheer joy of opening a box and finding out what you got inside. I love Disney, so a box catered specifically to Disney is perfect for me. But this box is certainly a cut above many other Disney boxes, especially because they only give you products from the Disney Parks. You won’t find any Disney brand items from Target or even the Disney Store in this box, and that’s a very important thing to remember. While I personally don’t plan to subscribe to a monthly box, I will definitely be buying this box again when the Christmas theme comes out, and will review that box when it comes!

Overall: 9/10
