Hi Stephanie,
Your princess is going to LOVE the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience! Two of my daughters enjoyed princess makeovers there this year, and getting to have their hair, nails, and makeup done was SO special! The looks on their faces when their Fairy Godmothers-in-Training spun their chairs around and they saw their makeovers were priceless! I’m so thankful Disney
PhotoPass photographers were there to capture the entire experience!
While only you know your own daughter best and how sensitive she is to having her hair up, my girls both chose to have their hair done as early in our trip as possible. While the hairstyles aren't necessarily designed to last more than one day, they loved feeling like a princess for the entire day, and we were even able to add a little gel and hairspray ourselves and enjoy their styles for an extra day. My younger daughter wore her princess dress for the entire day, but my older daughter chose to just wear the sash she was given at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. It’s completely up to your daughter and what she feels most comfortable doing! The way I looked at it was if my girls were comfortable and wanted to keep their style, they could for as much of the trip as they wanted to, and if they wanted to change or take their hair down, we could do that, too.
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Stephanie, and please let us know if you have any other questions as you’re planning your trip. I hope that you have a truly magical vacation with your princess!
Missy
