Welcome, Jessica, to planDisney! I'm so excited for you and your boys to experience
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on your August trip. As the Fairy Godmother reminds us, "Even miracles take a little time," so let's see if we can make this magical makeover happen!
Currently, our friends in the U.K. cannot book experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection from home, which includes Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Once you have access to the United States version of the website, you'll be able to check for availability. Until then, let's channel our inner Fairy Godmother and see if we can work a little reservation magic with these tips:
- Once you arrive in the U.S., check for availability on the website. Don't wait until you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort. As every Fairy Godmother knows, timing can make all the difference.
- Keep checking back, as people's plans change, and when they cancel their reservations, those slots are typically opened up for others to snag. You never know when a little "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" might work its magic.
- Speaking of checking back, the current cancellation policy for this experience is that Guests are charged a fee if they don't cancel at least 24 hours before it starts. So, check back 24 hours before your desired date to see if anyone made a last-minute change you can take advantage of. After all, "Where there is kindness, there is goodness. Where there is goodness, there is magic." Hopefully, a little magic will be on your side!
- Expand your search to include not just your desired date but any available day during your vacation. The more flexibility you have, the better your chances. Sometimes, the best happily ever after begins with a change of plans.
- If you still can't get an appointment, get to Magic Kingdom Park right when it opens and make a beeline straight to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique location. Sometimes, they have same-day availability. While it's not a guarantee, the sooner you arrive at the location to ask about availability, the better your chances of getting a last-minute appointment. A little Fairy Godmother magic may be just what you need, so keep believing and don't give up on that bit of magic just yet.
And remember, there are other ways to treat your boys like the royalty they are.
Sir Mickey's gift shop has plenty of royal accessories to dress your boys for the royal treatment. Plus, there's typically a Cast Member in this shop who will give them (and you!) a complimentary pixie dusting to make their dreams come true. You can also try to schedule an appointment at the
Harmony Barber Shop for a spiffy new haircut with a pixie dusting as well. And between
Cinderella Castle, the
Princesses and Princes, and the magical experiences that surround them at this wonderful park, they will have plenty of reminders of how special they are and that a little magic can be found around every corner.
Best wishes for securing the reservations of your dreams. If you have any other questions,
feel free to send them my way. Until then, keep believing in a little magic!
Make a wish and hold on tight,
Matt
