Hi Cassandra, welcome to planDisney!
The Fairy Godmother's Apprentices at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park bring fairy tales to life. Each royal transformation is unique, as I recently discovered with my tween daughter. My edgy princess wore her own dress and sneakers to her appointment. She looked around the dress shop but was committed to her vision. My sporty princess was excited to get nine of her nails painted, excluding the finger with a splint from a recent softball injury. My confident princess smiled from ear to ear during her big reveal, as evidenced by the Disney PhotoPass images in our scrapbook. In every Cast Member interaction that day, my daughter felt seen and respected. I have a few tips to ensure a similarly positive experience for your daughter.
Once you are called back for your Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park appointment, Cassandra, you have the opportunity to consult one-on-one with a dressmaker. This is the best time for your daughter to share her vision for the makeover. The featured hairstyles you'll be shown are Pixie Magic (a colored ponytail with a flower halo), Royal Braid (a bun accessorized by a bow and braid), Enchanted (a bun with a bow or tiara), and Fantasy (bun with a curly hairpiece and flower halo). I understand your daughter does not wish to show her ears and am confident there are options that allow your daughter to feel safe and stylish. I've specifically seen beautiful half-up/half-down modifications of the bun hairstyles previously mentioned. Once your daughter's vision is finalized, her Fairy Godmother's Apprentice will work with her to make that dream a reality. As Walt Disney once said, "If you can dream it, you can do it."
Appointments for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park are extremely popular and book up quickly. You can make an appointment
online up to 60 days in advance. A new day of reservations opens at midnight and I recommend staying up late to maximize your chance of booking an appointment. Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel have the distinct advantage of being able to book for their entire length of stay (up to 10 days) 60 days before check-in. If you happen to be staying at a Disney Resort hotel, Cassandra, I recommend booking your Bibbibi Bobbbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park towards the end of your stay.
Rapunzel's hair is as strong as her determination. Merida's curls are as wild as her spirit. Anna's braids are as wholesome as her heart. Whatever hairstyle your princess chooses for her magical makeover, Cassandra, may it reflect her inner beauty and character.
Plan magic; planDisney.
