Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Kate. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you're planning a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation! It's the very best kind if you ask me.
Like the true princess she is, my 5-year old daughter has curated an extensive collection of Disney Princess gowns! We spent quite a bit of time looking at gowns on our most recent visit to the
theme parks, and I can report that we did see some of the same deluxe gowns that are featured on
shopDisney.com. That said, the selection varied from park to park, depending on the merchandise location. My daughter had her heart set on purchasing an Elsa gown during our stay, and we couldn't find one anywhere! We searched every merchandise location that offered princess gowns, including
World of Disney at Disney Springs. Eventually, we had to "let it go" and give up on our search (fortunately, we were able to order the Elsa gown she wanted from shopDisney once we returned home). If your little princess has their heart set on a particular gown, I very much recommend you order it from shopDisney.com as soon as possible. Then, you can pack the gown in your luggage so you're SURE you'll have it on hand for your family's Disney vacation!
Will you be booking an appointment at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique? This
Enchanting Extra is a must-do for all royalty-in-training! You can make a reservation for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique 60-days before your arrival date. Be sure to keep an eye on your vacation countdown! The sooner you book an appointment, the better availability you'll find.
I hope this was helpful, Kate. 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.
