Hello Annabel,
As the current
UK-based planDisney Panelist, it makes me smile as wide as the Cheshire Cat to be welcoming a fellow British Guest to our pixie-dusted spot.
Thank you for sharing with planDisney that your lovely family is all set to holiday at Walt Disney World Resort during April 2023! I can just imagine how super excited you all must be feeling as you plan your jolly holibobs together.
At present Guests like you and I from the United Kingdom are more than welcome to make over-the-phone reservations up to 60 days ahead of time for offerings from the
Enchanting Extras Collection such as the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park. Plus, those lucky
Guests who are staying in Disney Resorts Collection hotels, may begin making reservations 60 days prior to check-in, and for up to a further 10 days into their magical stay!
Annabel, I'm happy to say that it's typical for
phone reservations at select Disney locations to open up in the USA at approximately 7 AM - which for us here in the United Kingdom is 5 hours later at 12 noon. I say approximately as a few odd times over the years I've been able to connect with Cast Members over the phone a few minutes ahead of the scheduled time, and conversely, a few minutes after time too! However, please do remember that both the UK and the USA observe seasonal daylight saving time changes which may slightly alter the current time differences.
My top planDisney tips for success in securing your desired reservations -
- Be ready on the appointed day and time
- Have any pertinent Disney account details or confirmation numbers close to hand
- Be sure to have a valid credit or debit card close by and perhaps even already linked to your
My Disney Experience account
Annabel, I sincerely hope I've been able to provide a little bibbidi-bobbid-beautiful insight for you today! Please do feel free to pop back to
me here at planDisney if you should have any additional questions or enquires that I may be able to help you with.
Have a great Disney day ~
Jane
