It's nice to meet you, Rebecca. Welcome to planDisney, where we answer all sorts of
Disney vacation questions to help make your next trip the best it can be.
At this time, our friends in the United Kingdom cannot book experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection ahead of their trip, which includes
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Instead, once you've landed in the United States and have access to
that version of the website, you can begin to search for availability. Be sure to continually check back throughout your vacation if you don't find availability right away as when other Guests cancel or change their plans, those reservations are typically opened up to others.
Did you know that there is another location where Guests ages 5 and up can get a magical makeover? That's right, at
The Grand Floridian Spa at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you can reserve one of 2 Magical Makeovers: one for hair and one for makeup. Of course, as long as there is availability, no one is going to stop you from booking both! Just note that Guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent.
And don't forget that right across from Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is
Sir Mickey's, where your child can find all sorts of dresses, costumes, and royal accessories. There's even a Royal Portrait Studio where a
Disney PhotoPass Cast Member can take some photos. Plus, you'll usually find a Cast Member with a special magic wand who can "pixie dust" your child (and anyone else who doesn't want to miss out) after they make a wish. This offering is also sometimes available at
Bonjour! Village Gifts.
While my fingers are crossed that your child gets the royal treatment, if the price of the treatments at The Grand Floridian Spa is a little too much and you for some reason can't get a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation, you can also check for availability at the
Harmony Barber Shop on Main Street, U.S.A. While this is definitely not a makeover, your child can get a fresh haircut, some simple styling, and possibly a pixie dusting, all for a pretty reasonable price in a very unique setting! Just make sure they're in their dress or costume before the experience, whether it's from Sir Mickey's or brought from home. After all, we can't have their wardrobe interfering with the new do!
Rebecca, I wish you and your family the best time at the resort. And I'm sending pixie dust your way so that you have the best chance of getting that coveted reservation!
If you have any other questions,
don't hesitate to ask.
For within each dawn, she found new hope that someday her dreams of happiness would come true,
Matt
