Welcome, Rachel, to planDisney, where we’re ready to wave the wand and help make your daughter’s 7th birthday the most magical celebration yet!
Currently, Guests from the UK cannot book experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection through the UK version of the website, which includes
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. That being said, some of our UK friends have had a little luck working their magic through the chat feature to secure these royal reservations. If that doesn’t open the door, once you have access to the US version of the site upon arrival, keep watch for reservations on the My Disney Experience mobile app that may appear if another Guest cancels their appointment. This is especially true as the cancellation window approaches, which is currently 24 hours before the experience, when a little unexpected pixie dust can sometimes sparkle onto the schedule.
And if the online kingdom remains fully booked, arrive at
Magic Kingdom Park early on the day you’re hoping for the experience, head straight to the location behind
Cinderella Castle, and inquire about same-day availability. While not a guarantee, sometimes a bit of early-morning determination, paired with a hopeful heart, works wonders.
Now, my dear, if the clock strikes midnight on this reservation plan, don’t lose heart. There are still so many ways to make her birthday feel straight out of a fairy tale. While I’m crossing my fingers for you, let me share a few lovely backup ideas, just in case.
- If you're open to having her experience this on a different day than her birthday, faithfully check back on the app to see if any reservations open up for any day that you're there.
- You can book a magical haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop, where you can typically request a "pixie dusting" at the end!
- Speaking of pixie dust, you can often get a pixie dusting from a Cast Member at Sir Mickey's in Fantasyland. Just look for a Cast Member with a special wand or inquire with one of the Cast Members at this shop. And while you're at it, you can pick up some delightful princess accessories here, too!
- You can check to see if there's availability at The Grand Floridian Spa for a Magical Makeover. They currently offer one for hair and one for makeup!
Rachel, I’m keeping my wand raised and hoping that royal reservation comes through! And remember to pick up a Celebration Button at the
Front Desk of your
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel or a
Guest Relations location in the theme parks to let the whole Disney World know it's your daughter's special day!
If you need a little more pixie dust while planning,
I’m always happy to help.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Best Wishes,
Matt
