Hi Carol, and a very warm welcome to planDisney!
I’m thrilled to hear you’re planning a holiday to Walt Disney World Resort. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of seeing a young prince or princess step into their fairy tale at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. My daughter’s royal transformation at Cinderella Castle is still one of our most cherished memories. It was like watching magic unfold right before our eyes. Best day EVER!
Now, when it comes to booking from the UK, there are a few important details to keep in mind. Currently, Guests visiting from the United Kingdom can’t make reservations for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique online or through the app while abroad. The best way to book is by calling the number listed under “Tours, Recreation” in the Walt Disney World Resort Phone Directory on the UK website. I highly recommend calling right at the opening time on the morning you hit your 60-day window, as this is one of the most popular experiences in the
Enchanting Extras Collection, and reservations fill up incredibly fast.
If you’re staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you’ll have a bit of a head start. You can book Enchanting Extras like Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for the entire length of your stay (up to 10 nights), beginning 60 days before your check-in date. It’s a huge advantage, especially for experiences like this one, where timing is everything.
Now here’s a helpful tip just in case you’re still trying to snag a spot while you’re stateside: once you arrive in the US, you can try booking through the
My Disney Experience app. Availability is usually very limited by that point, but it’s worth a try if you're still hoping to catch a last-minute cancellation.
Whatever you do, I encourage you not to wait. These appointments are snapped up faster than you can say “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo.” But don’t give up if you don’t see availability right away. Guest plans do change, and magic sometimes opens up when you least expect it. Keep checking, especially as your travel dates get closer.
I hope this royal tip helps you plan a truly enchanting day for your little one. And if you need help with what to do before or after the transformation, or ideas to make the whole day feel like a fairy tale, I’m here to help make the magic happen.
Wishing you a magical visit and memories fit for royalty,
~Emille
