Hiya Carolyn,
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique question! How exciting that you’ll be visiting
Disney World during the magic of fall, and even more special that you’ll be sharing a royal makeover with your granddaughter.
My daughters had the chance to visit Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique with both of their grandmothers, and those experiences are some of their favorite Disney memories. From picking out their dresses to getting their hair and nails done, and seeing those huge smiles when the transformation was complete, it was pure princess magic.
So Carolyn, let’s wave our magic wand and jump right into your question. A Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience can take up to about 90 minutes, depending on the package selected. When you arrive, I'd let the Cast Member know you also have a 4:05 PM dining reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table so they are aware of your timing.
Luckily,
Cinderella’s Royal Table is located just across the way, which definitely helps. If things are running a little close, I would recommend having someone in your party check in with the Cast Members at Cinderella’s Royal Table and let them know you are finishing up at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. In my experience, Cast Members are incredibly helpful in situations like this and will do their best to assist. And remember there is a 15-minute grace period for Cinderella’s Royal Table.
Another tip: I would arrive a little early for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation in case there is a little cushion to start your granddaughter early. No guarantees, of course, but this way, your granddaughter can enjoy every bit of her royal transformation.
Carolyn, I hope this answers your question, and I hope you and your granddaughter have the most magical princess day, from her makeover to dining inside Cinderella Castle. If you have any other questions, please come back and visit us again.
See you real soon,
Christina
