Royal greetings, Donna! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited for you and your young knight or princess to experience a royal transformation at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! It's been years since my (now teenage) daughters shared this magical experience inside of
Cinderella Castle, but the memories we made are some of our favorites!
Monica, the
reservation window for this experience opens 60 days in advance, and most
Enchanting Extras bookings become available around 6 AM EST, but this is subject to change and sometimes the window does seem to open earlier. While it's been several years since I've pursued this experience, I checked in with my panelist pal
Nimmy whose daughter visited the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique just last week, and she was able to secure her reservation around 3 AM EST. Because this reservation is so popular, there are a few tips and tricks I'd recommend that may be helpful:
- If you're staying as a Guest at a Disney Resort hotel, you will be eligible to book this experience for any day of your reservation 60 days in advance. Meaning, if you schedule your visit to the boutique for later in your trip, you are likely to find a little more availability as you would be booking 61 or more days ahead of time.
- Log into your My Disney Experience account ahead of time and ensure you have a payment method saved to your account, as you will need to guarantee your reservation with a credit card at the time of booking.
- The early bird gets the worm, so given the flexibility in scheduling that sometimes happens, I'd encourage you to check at midnight to be sure you don't miss a chance to grab your reservation early if it is available!
Monica, I hope this helps you to find the perfect reservation for your regal makeover! Be sure to stop by
Sir Mickey's and visit the Royal Portrait Studio afterward to get some special photos to commemorate your visit! The photo downloads are included with your purchase of
Memory Maker and no appointment is necessary - you can just drop by for a quick session! If you have any other planning questions, come on back to
planDisney and let us know! We're always happy to help you navigate the magic of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Magic and Memories,
Alison
