Hi Kevin! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question!
I hope you are getting excited about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort stay! You're only about two months away until you get to be a part of the
World's Most Magical Celebration! You'll be arriving just in time as many experiences are beginning to return and new attractions are set to open.
I have some great
and encouraging news to share!
Chef Mickey's is open and taking reservations for both breakfast and dinner. This is still a character dining experience, although the interactions with the characters have been modified since the reopening. Currently, you need to keep a safe distance when the characters visit your table area and photo taking will need to be done from afar. But with Disney announcing the return of traditional meet and greets beginning again this week, there is a great chance that by the time of your visit, character dining will return in full form as well. You can start making your dining reservations 60 days in advance of your stay. I would recommend putting this one at the top of your list since it is one of the first dining locations to fill up.
As for
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, many Guests, including me, are highly anticipating the return of this special experience. As a father of two young daughters, we have talked extensively about spending a day at the boutique getting "princess ready" and then eating dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table that night. I can't think of two experiences that fit better together. While Walt Disney World has not released any information about a reopening date, I’m hopeful that we will have some news to share shortly. Recently, Disney Cruise Line announced that Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will be coming to the Disney Wish this summer when this newest ship is set to debut. While this is extremely exciting for all Guests who plan to set sail, it’s equally exciting for Guests visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. It may indicate the return of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques on land.
Kevin, as I mentioned earlier, the newest attraction,
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, is set to open at EPCOT on Memorial Day weekend. With all of the buzz regarding this new ride, I suggest taking some time to check this out during your visit.
Have a magical time on your upcoming visit!
See ya real soon!
