Bonjour Lindsey!
Thanks for being our Guest at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It looks like you have grand plans for your upcoming visit! A royal transformation plus a meal in the noblest of houses sounds like a resplendent combination.
Last summer, my Brave Princess and her Royal Cousin underwent a magical transformation at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. The Fairy Godmothers-in-Training did a splendiferous job, and they were storybook-perfect for the rest of the day! The boutique experience lasts ~40 minutes, but plan for up to an hour, so you are cutting it too close to make your dining reservation.
I would suggest moving back your French feast by at least a half an hour if not more. This way you and your daughter can enjoy her pixie-dusted primping without rushing. I understand how elusive reservations are at the Boutique and
Be Our Guest, but I think changing your dining time will be the simplest. Head to
My Disney Experience to modify your reservation online. Cast Members are also readily
available to help by Live Chat, email, and phone.
I find Disney Dining to be one of the most accommodating, and they understand that things don’t always go to plan! So, if you find yourself running late, either call or send your husband to the restaurant. They will wait until your party arrives, place you in the queue, and seat you as soon as possible. Remember though, you might have to wait as you will have missed your reservation time.
Mon Cherie, I wish you
bonne chance!
