Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Melissa. We're so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you're planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! And with a
little one in tow! You're sure to make lots of magical memories.
My 5-year old daughter just experienced a fairytale makeover at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park a few months ago. It was precious! She was beaming from the moment she met her Fairy Godmother's Apprentice to her exit as a Disney Princess. Oh, my heart! To answer your question, if your little princess will be 2-years old at the time of check-in, she'll be considered 2-years old for the length of your stay, regardless of her birthday mid-visit. She won't need a Theme Park Ticket at any point during your upcoming vacation because children under the age of 3 are special Guests of Mickey Mouse and do not need admission to the theme parks. How great is that? That said, you can certainly make a reservation for her at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique once she officially turns 3. Her birthdate is listed on your
My Disney Experience account, so the Fairy Godmother's Apprentices will know she's "officially" old enough for an appointment when you arrive for your reservation.
You can
book your appointment at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom Park up to 60-days before your arrival date. The online booking system opens at 6:00 AM, and I recommend trying to make that reservation the moment that booking window opens. I also recommend booking your daughter the earliest appointment available. An early morning appointment means that she has more time in the day to enjoy her royal transformation! Did you know you can take her own princess gown with you to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique? I found this to be an easy way to save a little money. We took my daughter's Cinderella gown with us to her appointment, and then allowed her to pick an accessory from the boutique store. She selected glass slippers, of course!
A
Disney PhotoPass Photographer will be capturing darling images of your little princess during her makeover with her Fairy Godmother's Apprentice. If you purchase
Memory Maker for your upcoming vacation, all the photos the Disney PhotoPass Photographer takes at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will be included with your purchase!
I hope this was helpful, Melissa. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
