Hello Waleska,
I extend a Royal Welcome to you from planDisney! I love that you are helping your friend plan a
Walt Disney World Resort 15th birthday celebration fit for a princess. A dream is a wish your heart makes, so let’s see what we can do to help this wish come true.
First, let’s consider the attire for this auspicious occasion. While Walt Disney World does not rent costumes, there are some other options to consider.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in
Magic Kingdom Park sells a variety of princess costumes, but the largest size they offer is a 13, which might not be the right fit for your friend. You could certainly try
shopdisney.com as they often have princess costumes available in adult sizes. Another thought is to try
DisneyStyle at Disney Springs, where you can find Disney-inspired clothing. A friend of mine purchased the most adorable dress there featuring Snow White not too long ago.
Waleska, keep in mind that Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures with or sign autographs for other Guests. Also, costumes may not reach or drag on the ground (for example, full-length Princess dresses). I also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the
Costume Guidelines.Now, here is some royal news to share throughout the land! Your friend may book a
Capture Your Moment Disney PhotoPass 20-minute private photography session at Magic Kingdom Park. You may book either (or both!) the
“Capture Your Moment: Magic Kingdom Park – Main Street, U.S.A. & Cinderella Castle” or “
Capture Your Moment: Magic Kingdom Park – Fantasyland & Beyond.” I recommend that you go ahead and book this
Enchanting Extras Collection experience now since they are limited.
One more idea that I have for your celebration is to book a Magical Makeover (hair only) at the
Grand Floridian Spa at
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, which is just a quick Monorail ride to Magic Kingdom Park. The stylist will consult with your princess and help her create a look that invokes the character she is hoping to emulate. Keep in mind that Guests ages 14 to 17 may enjoy treatments when accompanied by a parent or guardian for the entire experience. Reservations are required, but walk-ins can be accommodated if space is available.
I hope this information is helpful, Waleska, and that you and your friend create the most magical birthday for her daughter. If you have any other questions or if you would like any other tips or ideas,
please let me know. I would be honored to assist with this majestic celebration!
May all your fairytales come true,
Shannon
