Royal Greetings, Elizabeth!
Thanks so much for stopping by with this question. First, I'd like to wish your daughter an early but very happy 13th bibbidi-bobbidi-birthday. I hope that you all enjoy plenty of magic on your trip to
Walt Disney World Resort next year. I love spending time in the parks with my children and watching them experience new things on each visit. My son is just weeks away from being a newly minted teenager and I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. I swear we were soaring on
Dumbo the Flying Elephant for the very first time just
minutes ago, and somehow the clock is about to strike midnight on his time as a "little kid." I'm sure you feel the same knowing your daughter is almost an official teenager, too!
I hate to be the bearer of some less-than-magical news, but unfortunately
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is an experience reserved for guests between the ages of 3-12. I'm so sorry she wasn't able to experience a royal transformation on her last visit, but I do have some alternative options for you to consider.
First, make a stop at
Sir Mickey's during your day in
Magic Kingdom Park and ask to be pixie dusted. I've done this with my daughter on our last two visits and we both loved walking around with a bit of extra sparkle and some happy wishes surrounding us all day. This is currently a complimentary, all-ages experience so don't be shy. Have some sparkle added to your hair right alongside your daughter and you'll both feel ready for a Royal Ball!
If you're hoping for a more elaborate service check out the Magic Makeover options available at
The Grand Floridian Spa. There are currently two different service options available for either a magical hairstyle or makeup application.
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is just a short Monorail ride away from Magic Kingdom Park, and worth a visit even to just experience the stunning décor. Your daughter may even be able to pose for a
Disney PhotoPass photo with Cinderella's glass slipper after her magical makeover service. This photo opportunity is subject to availability, but we happily stumbled upon it on the second floor of the Grand Lobby during our April visit.
Speaking of photo opportunities, you may want to consider adding a
Capture Your Moment photo session to your vacation plans. This personalized photo session would be a wonderful way to celebrate her birthday with or without a special makeover. Reservations are highly recommended and can be booked 60 days in advance.
Elizabeth, I hope this was helpful. If I can offer any additional assistance please don't hesitate to
reach out to me directly.
A dream is a wish your heart makes,
Amy
