Welcome to planDisney, Alan. Thanks for taking the time to bring your question to us!
While the window to
book dining and experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection opens 60 days before your check-in date (September 11, 2026, in your case), our friends in the U.K. and Ireland currently cannot book Enchanting Extras from home before their trip. So, go ahead and use the website to book those dining reservations right now. Then, download and use the
My Disney Experience mobile app when you arrive in the U.S., and check for
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservations and any other Enchanting Extras you're interested in experiencing.
To maximize your chances of getting a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation, I would look for reservations for any day on your vacation that you can make it happen. If you're not seeing availability, you'll want to keep checking back throughout your vacation, in case other Guests cancel as the deadline to cancel without a penalty gets closer. And while there’s no guarantee, it never hurts to arrive at
Magic Kingdom Park first thing in the morning, go directly to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and ask a Cast Member whether any same-day availability has opened up.
Now, if you're a fan of
Character Experiences, I have to recommend one that I experienced for the first time on my last trip:
1900 Park Fare at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. I was so impressed by the quality of the food, the classic atmosphere, and the character interactions. I especially loved chatting about food and recipes with Princess Tiana. Of course, she did most of the recipe talking, but I was happy to hear it. It was just a great experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good
buffet with an extra dash of whimsy.
Alan, enjoy every moment of your November vacation to the resort. And be sure to check out the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which runs until November 21, 2026. If you have any other questions,
I'm here to answer them for you!
Happy dining,
Matt
