Hello, friend, and thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! There's nothing as magical as a visit to
Walt Disney World Resort. I think planning is a big part of the fun, but I am also familiar with the frustrations that sometimes come along with it. Let's talk about it.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is tough to say, difficult to spell, and so challenging to get into. The booking window officially opens
60 days in advance at 6:00 am, but it has been known to open as early as midnight. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can book
Enchanting Extras for the entirety of your stay, beginning 60 days before your
check-in day. Because of this, some guests get access earlier than others.
I'm so sorry you were unable to get reservations for your desired date. I get what a disappointment that is. All hope is not lost, though. I recently gave another guest some tips on how to potentially get a late reservation at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. I'll link that answer
here. If you are still unable to secure a spot, I'd like to recommend an alternative. You can go to
Sir Mickey's in
Magic Kingdom Park, just behind the castle, and purchase a costume or have your child wear one that you brought from home. A Cast Member there will be glad to sprinkle some pixie dust on your little one. Book a
Capture Your Moment session. This is a 20-minute private photo shoot with a Disney PhotoPass Photographer. If you have
Memory Maker, the photos are included at no extra cost. The experience is sure to make any kid feel like royalty! You can add to the theme by visiting a favorite princess at
Princess Fairytale Hall or even making reservations at
Cinderella's Royal Table. (I checked, and as of the time of this writing, there are still several time slots available!)
Panelists here at
planDisney are regular guests, and we experience letdowns just like you. I do hope you are able to get a spot at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, friend, but even if you don't, it can still be the most magical vacation yet! If you have any more questions, please come back and see us!
Always dreaming -
Elizabeth
